Come one, come all to the Olli et al. appreciation thread.

Mr C has started wheezing again. Give me strength.

On the upside, might see Nurse Lee tomorrow. Not in my skimpy lace nightie, Spart (good plan tho Grin).

Keep calm - and much will be revealed..........Wink

Justonedayatatime11 · 27/02/2019 17:04

cozie that's teasing!

Supersimpkin · 27/02/2019 18:27

It's me, Lana, scribe of Mr C.

MN banned me for quoting a judge re radicalisation, no idea why.

A rocky week, and thanks a million to all for the support. Mr C looks awful and I am pop-eyed with stress. We're taking it day by day here, because he just won't eat. Anything.

I came back from Sainsbury's prac in tears earlier after looking for sardines, in desperation, all three types of which were rejected.

But I think there is hope. He has had half a packet of ham today and he went to get himself a drink afterwards. He has to be fed by hand, which he approves of, and likes a cuddle.

How about smearing some of his favourite food with anchovies / anchovy paste? It smells awful ie cat could love it.

Papergirl1968 · 27/02/2019 19:12

Oh Lana, you must be out of your mind.
At least he's eaten something.
Have you tried cat soup?
I'm impressed you managed to get banned, you rebel!

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/02/2019 19:44

Well I hoped they banned the judge too 😄. It explains why I couldn’t pm you.

What does the vet say?

Supersimpkin · 27/02/2019 19:52

Yes to both, no go.

30 years to the day since Salman Rushdie was censored; you need to treat these things with the 'ignoral they deserve' as he says, quoting Arthur Scargill.

Dd and Matt sunbathing together 😎

Supersimpkin · 27/02/2019 22:13

Surely the Photo of the Year.

Matt is relentlessly beautiful in body and spirit. High Emperor Matt, Celestial Bearer of the Belly of Cloudsoft Wonderment.

Have you ever had facial belly contact? A deeply spiritual experience. If fraught with peril for the apprentice student of such a sacred pursuit.

Papergirl1968 · 27/02/2019 22:35

I have on occasion been granted access to the furry tum, but it is a rare privilege and one that is liable to being withdrawn at any moment.
I seriously think he thinks he is one of the kids. When they go out to have lunch on a rug in the garden on a sunny day, he is right there with them.
His highness has just rolled in with bits of fur hanging off him, and a few scratches so seems to have been in a skirmish. I think he's ok though.

Supersimpkin · 27/02/2019 22:41

Wants a cuddle. Does he like being brushed?

Allergictoironing · 28/02/2019 08:00

"Have you ever had facial belly contact?"

This is a requested part of Boycat's morning cuddles, and a regular demand by Girlcat if we do fusses on the bed - I don't mean proper cuddles, or me on the bed, I have to bend over the edge of the bed & fuss her. I may be the luckiest cat slave in existence.

In other news, cats are very happy because I lost the bloody job. Apparently someone in the head office overheard a joke I made & misunderstood or mis heard it, so demanded I be let go as "not a cultural fit" (sigh)

Fluffycloudland77 · 28/02/2019 08:10

Oh that’s awful! You are surely due some good luck soon. Employment laws in this country are ridiculous.

Papergirl1968 · 28/02/2019 08:11

Not really into brushing, Lana. (I'm finding it hard to get used to your new name)
I'm really sorry to hear that, it's really unfair Allergic. They sounds like a bunch of idiots.

Supersimpkin · 28/02/2019 09:01

Bloody hell Allergic. I'm tempted to point out any workplace 'culture' that does something like that is not worth your time, but the loss of pet food vouchers must be a sickener.

Barrel of fools. I got a warning for eating a chip once in one job. Jolly nice it was too, much nicer than the job.

There's always the Office Twat. I reckon some sectors - council, charities, etc - advertise for them:

'No work required except spreading trouble. Inadequates only need apply.'

Return to the facial belly rub in the knowledge you are a Woman Worth More Than Rubies - very, very special to get that daily.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 28/02/2019 09:38

Everyone here and their cats are due some better luck soon. It feels as if we have all been cursed. :(

That strong Spring breeze is my sigh of relief, comin atcha.

Fluffycloudland77 · 28/02/2019 20:39

What delicacy was it tonight?

Supersimpkin · 28/02/2019 20:47

I was caught on the hop, so just Gourmet. Not even LW!!!

I am doing another rotisserie chicken tomorrow. Is asbo all right re Tuesday?

Papergirl1968 · 28/02/2019 20:56

Ohh good, so pleased, Lana

Fluffycloudland77 · 28/02/2019 21:09

I haven’t asked his opinion.
