Was he blocked?.

How I took a bee on the bus once to get it to some green but I can't be sure it worked

@Supersimkin2 - are you a reincarnation of Philip K Dick?

cricketmum84 · 19/06/2021 21:53

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats my DSis has a cat with constant urinary problems. She has him on a special food for it to stop crystals forming. He also can't eat any wet food with fish in as it seems to trigger it strangely!

@YesItsMeIDontCare me and the littlest saved a bee last week too 🥰 big old fluffy thing and it was just laid on our doorstep. We have it some sugar water and after about 20 mins it perked up and bumbled away into the sky.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 19/06/2021 21:55

Was he blocked?.
Yes - but we noticed immediately this morning so no long term damage.

Papergirl1968 · 19/06/2021 22:01

You should see my drive, Pixie!

PawsQueen · 19/06/2021 22:03

Ollie is sympathising with the blockage and reminding me of the time he went for a wee all over the vet in retaliation at being kept in
Paws is AWOL, too warm for humans, partying to do

YesItsMeIDontCare · 19/06/2021 22:10

I bet you're relieved Grumpy! Bless him, poor boy. I'm glad he's feeling better now, fingers crossed for a good wee and home tomorrow.

I'm sure my bee got fatter and more colourful after his drink cricket! Did yours?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 20/06/2021 09:36

How is darling Basil?

And gorgeous Charlie?

(Basil is of course gorgeous too and Charlie is a darling boy also).

AlfonsoTheMango · 20/06/2021 09:42

Poor Basil. And poor @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats's bank balance.

Hope all is well with everyone's beasties.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 20/06/2021 10:17

No updates yet today - expecting a call anytime after midday. Fingers crossed collecting him today.

AlfonsoTheMango · 20/06/2021 10:25

Keep us posted, @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats.

purrswhileheeats · 20/06/2021 11:25

Poor Basil, hope he feels better soon Grumpy

Kloppy is very sad; his little buddy LBC from up the road hasn't been seen for ages and he's missing him. He keeps trying to play with attack Woody who isn't impressed and scurries away in disgust 😹

PawsQueen · 20/06/2021 12:00

Ollie is sat on his fave place at the front (ma bush is at the back)

Get well wishes for Basil and Charlie, Grumpy and Just.

coastergirl · 20/06/2021 18:22

Yikes, I've missed so much! Really hope Basil and Charlie are ok.

I've been saving bees with sugar water lately too. I read something about kids drenching a swarm of bees with water and killing most of them 😢 so I've been teaching my six year old about bees and looking after them. 🐝

It's my littlest one's second birthday today. I got him a water play trolley and Walter was very interested!

Charlie has recovered sufficiently to help himself to half my korma and fight over a naan bread Hmm

coastergirl · 20/06/2021 19:19

Glad Charlie is ok. Look at those shoulders !

YesItsMeIDontCare · 20/06/2021 19:42

Yeah - no. I'd just give him the naan tbh. I wouldn't fancy my chances and I'm not sure I'd risk my hand just for a naan.

Happy Birthday Littlest Coaster 🥳

Fluffycloudland77 · 20/06/2021 19:58

Happy Birthday to Mini Coaster! If Walter plays with his Water play trolley it makes it better value for money.

Poor bees. Kids are brutal.

cricketmum84 · 20/06/2021 20:10

Any news @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats?

cricketmum84 · 20/06/2021 20:12

Happy birthday to little coaster @coastergirl

If you don't already have one I can highly recommend a cat water fountain for Walter. The terrible twosome absolutely love theirs. Their favourite game is to dip their paws in the running water and then shake said wet paw at me showering me with cat water 😂

coastergirl · 20/06/2021 20:52

Ah thank you for all the birthday wishes! Littlest has had fun. Walter is still his favourite thing in the world. He's a bit of a cat whisperer actually. He spends a lot of time with his Nan and they go for walks locally, where there are loads of cats! She recently described a situation where Z and a cat locked eyes over a pedestrianised square area and ran towards each other and met in the middle, like couples in romantic films! 😂

I do actually have a cat fountain but it's been sat on the window sill for months. Walter took no interest and then littlest filled it with cat biscuits and it went manky. Might scrub it and give it another try.

nettie434 · 20/06/2021 22:32

Happy birthday Coastergirl's Littlest. Walter definitely looks interested in the trolley!

Glad Charlie seems fully recovered Just.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 20/06/2021 23:32

Basil has been kept in again tonight and they're reviewing him again the morning.
Apparently he isn't in a very good mood. Since he's shut in a cage, been given food he doesn't like, and had a catheter stuck in him, I'm not entirely surprised.
