She definitely doesn’t want me getting out of bed 😂😂

Gomez will need placating for some time. When you are shattered, naturally. Good luck @swampytiggaa!! if things get tough, think of the sisters slumbering in downy peace on your bed....

@Supersimkin2 I dumped her into Victoria’s room. Hopefully will have kitty cuddles this afternoon so I can sneak a nap in 💤💤

Lovely Gomez! Hope you get kitty cuddles this afternoon, Swampy.
I’m just getting up as I’m not at work till 5pm. Both cats on the bed with me.
Every muscle aches today, even my bum 😂

Good luck with work today 💕

Thanks, Swampy.
I’m 52 and very overweight. Lana, can you anyone who works in retail advise if the aches and pains go as you build stamina?

Yes they do - sort of. Being on your feet is incredibly good exercise, so you get the downside as well as the numerous benefits, ie stiffness and throbbing feet. Wears off and then you realise you're much fitter.

The exercise benefits and the mood uplift of being upright are one of the reasons I do retail - keeps you fit but isn't as agonisingly dull as the gym.

Enjoy a good moan tho, I do :)

Decent footwear helps tbh. I have some proper f’ugly shoes I keep just for work as they are so comfortable and supportive 🙂

I ended up going back in yesterday for a couple of hours as they were so behind. Had to have a little nap when I got home and was asleep in front of the tv by 8pm 😂😂

I got some fugly shoes - Padders before finding out I could have worn black trainers! I don’t really mind though as the Padders are comfy.
Last night though I started to get a pain in my lower back, my neck and shoulders and then a hot throbbing pain halfway down my left thigh.

It does get easier 💕 lots more physical than people would think tho!

Why oh why oh whyohwhyohwhhhhhhy is my cat completely incapable of going for a poo without my presence?

Because it needs emptying pronto and it’s just really handy if you’re already standing there with a scooper and nappy bag.

This is paws horrified that Ollie "goes for a wee in a box" and yes he was watching him

But why me Fluffy? Why not DS orDH? DH was already in the bathroom!

It won't be long 'til Paws is using the box too 😁. Get him his own 👍🏻

You are the chosen one.

Socks got out of bed (my bed, naturally) the other night to watch Matt throwing up. Her eyes were out on stalks.

I am the worst kitty mother in the world ever .

Was a little surprised when Boycat didn't come for supper, but he often sleeps through. Was a little more surprised that he didn't partake in the various bed time rituals, but thought he may have been hiding in the sofa due to the very loud fireworks echoing up & down the valley.

However when he didn't leap on my bed demanding cuddles this morning I got very worried. Turned the house inside out looking in all his hiding places, even pulled the sofa away from the wall (not easy with one arm!) & checked in the lining etc - no sign of Boycat. By now I'm looking in all the places he couldn't have got into, in a total panic.

I then opened the door to the little conservatory at the back, and there was this pathetic shrunken looking kitty sitting on the cold, hard, tiled floor by the back door. I'd somehow shut him in there early evening , despite me always giving a quick check round before I close the door and him normally fleeing out of there if I come in.

We've been having non-stop cuddles since I found him, and he seems fine, but the guilt is eating me up.

Oh, dear :(

Has he had lots of treats?

I'm surprised girlcat didn't alert you!

Girlcat didn't give a damn! Acted like nothing was different at all heartless bitch.

Offered him lots of treats, but he was more interested in cuddles tbh. Every time I went to do something like make a cup of tea, he was following me about saying "Ma, Ma" in about his loudest voice (still very quiet though, normally almost silent). He's gone to reestablish his place on my bed now..

Poor baby needed warming up, at least until he thought you'd been suitably punished.

This will haunt you for the rest of your days. We've all been there, we're all still feeling guilty about something, and the cats are all milking it as much as possible.

💐🍫🧁☕️🍷 (whatever helps 😁)

Oh lord, was it frosty last night too?.

He won’t do that again though, mil tried to kill Asbo with the Christmas tree when he was a kitten and he never forgot.

Oh dear, Allergic. At least he was dry. And as my mom says when I fret about the cats being out in the cold, they do have fur coats on. As Yes says, we’ve all failed miserably in our cat parent duties at one time or another.
How is your shoulder?

You aren't a bad kitty mother Darling @Allergictoironing, everyone's done it, and with any luck it might put Boycat off. No harm done.

Or he'll use it as emotional blackmail. I shut Cap'n on balcony a couple of months ago. Now when he wants a sweet he stands by the door and mews pitifully. Very naughty

What about Girlcat enjoying the spotlight eh Shameless.

Yes he was dry, and when I picked him up from beside the back door (coldest place in the room - idiot cat!) he didn't feel cold. No sign of any messes left, and he didn't immediately dive on his food after I rescued him, so I reckon he was OK. Just feeling bereft and deserted
