Pilling the cat: 100 easy steps

[Supersimpkin]

No.

Aw, love that advert. I hadn’t seen it before.
Matt is in the doghouse for having a baby mouse last night, three days or so after the body of another baby mouse was found on the lawn 😢

Matt is a superb hunter and must be heavily flattered.

I am back at home reading a piece about Emotional Support Animals. Mr C and I look at each other. He nods and does Blink of Love.

He knows I am his Emotional Support Animal.

Ahh, so sweet, Lana.
I told Matt to get his mousey mouth out of my cereal bowl this morning. Poor little baby mouse has been put in a makeshift coffin (margarine tub) and laid to rest (in the bin).

Am googling 'respite cattery', as it happens. I can't cope with being woken at nights non-stop - my blood results are awful.

Have you thought about getting him off his face on catnip? Mine goes mental for ten minutes and then zones out for aaaages after a good jollop.

Lana, do look after yourself. No one would blame you if you did pop him in a cattery while you recuperated.

Big dog crate and ear plugs?.

I've retired to bed .

Fake tan is fantastic stuff - under it I am sky blue with hints of green at the ends (anemia). Sorry to moan, but bugger me, I'm a wipeout. At the mo I have 4 diseases that make you tired and 'significant' infection. 's Life innit.

Mr C refusing pill. Googling dog crate now.

Oh you must feel so weak with all that.

Weak as a kitten.

Mr C is getting ever more managerial. I've grown him some catnip, as it happens - he likes to throw it up by the bed in the mornings. Retching gets the animal (me) up - just a tip from him, folks!

Nice alarm clock

Ollie has come home plastered in those sticky ball things off a plant. Best thing ever he thinks as he sits here purring and blinking while I pick them off. Any attention and he will sit happily for hours

BurrFest 2019 is currently being held in Leroy's tummy, butt & tail fur. Sadly he does not purr and blink at me when I try to pick them off.

Actually sleeping tablets for cats should be a thing.

Lordy, Burrfest no good at all - what one wants is Purrfest. Get some fucidin from the GP, heals you up lovely.

Bring the dope on Fluffy. Mr C will be getting valium crumbled in his cup of tea soon. How do you sedate asbo? can it be done?

We don’t try. The vets suggested amitriptyline though.

Can't remember the name of what the vets tried for Ollies overgrooming. I had to take him his food in bed and he slept for 22hrs

I can see getting the pill in might be a little sensitive, what with asbo's natural exuberance rising playfully to the smallest of challenges.

I might ask the vet on Mon. Mr C off for check-up. I can't face shutting the fat brute out of the bedroom. He would be hurt. I would miss him. I just need a full night's sleep for couple of weeks. 00000000000000000000000000000-0

That was Mr C sending HUGS to all.

Hope you get a better night tonight, Lana

(((Hugs))) to you and Mr C from me & Leroy too. Hope you get some rest.

Aw poor Lana. I'm so lucky compared to you in that mine don't disturb my sleep - well apart from the galloping noises as they play chase occasionally. And that my health problems are nowhere NEAR as bad as yours seem to be.

The ideal solution would seem to be to see if Nurse Lee could take Mr C for a couple of weeks, but that may prove a bit too expensive

Thanks all so much, all my ailments are a) fixable b) don't hurt much, so I've got it easier than some. It's 830!! I've only just got up!! Life of sybaritic luxury

Managed to resist the foot-up-nostril classic at 1am, yay. And the old favourite, levering head off pillow with back legs (much panting) at 5am. Suffocation by tail in mouth = 7am successfully averted.

Finally caved in to a sharp right hook in the eye at 830, followed by demolition of a pate and raspy purring.

BRILLIANT SOLUTION re Nurse Lee - I'll ask him on Monday.

The only real issues my current crop of problems seem to have re the kitties is that Girlcat does love to lie on the back of the sofa to my left, where I'm expected to reach up & backwards to belly rub for ages. And it turns out I have a torn tendon in my shoulder, probably rotator cuff, so that just isn't on the cards. Boycat is happy as long as I have one good hand to scritch him with

All I can say is, good luck with not providing enough belly rub

Girlcat reckons even a missing arm won't get you off the hook

It might have to - I'm a lefty! You ever tried grating cheese with your off hand? I think my world would end without grated cheese, and as a matter of principle I refuse to pay twice the money for pre-grated
