OMG 😲.

I wondered why she got so excited whenever dh came into the room 🤨

On the other side of the equation, I've always been convinced that DW prefers Basil to me HmmGrin.

As long as Basil sits up there in the hierarchy just a whisker before TC all is good.

I am definitely the third wheel with Betsy and DH. She actually pines for him when he leaves the room. She sits at the door doing her squeaky little chirrup until he comes back then trots behind him like a little lamb.

We weren't home 5 minutes from holiday when NOC Dexter came a calling, he usually runs to our house when he sees our cat now

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 30/07/2021 16:42

So as part of Basil's long term treatment for his urinary problem we are giving him some (hideously expensive) urinary treatment catfood.
The good news that he likes it.
The bad news is that he's not the only one...

Life on a stick Grumpy.

When I got Mr C I loudly made sure I was the only person named on his paperwork in case I ever got a divorce.

I was no, either then or subsequently, in a relationship Grin

NotMyCat · 30/07/2021 17:35

Got my mortgage paperwork through so it's all go!
Ollie is having great fun... I play a game where I go "ohhhhhh BOO!" And he shrieks and runs off
Today I'm not even getting to the BOO part and he's sprinting off like a kitten then running back so I can do it again HmmConfusedGrin

coastergirl · 30/07/2021 18:32

I feel this needs videoing for Ollie's fb page.

NotMyCat · 30/07/2021 22:28

I will give it a go! He's fast asleep snoring now after all his whizzing around

Defiantly41 · 30/07/2021 23:10

@NotMyCat so pleased you got the mortgage offer after the grumpy surveyor

@Supersimkin2 your post about rubbing faces the other night brought tears to my eyes, hope Cap'n is continuing to enjoy the good drugs

@Justonedayatatime11 how's Charlie boy?

Justonedayatatime11 · 30/07/2021 23:14

@Defiantly41 not much improvement yet bless him. He looks so miserable, it's like his entire nose spreads across his face! Just wish I could do more for him

NowYouListenToMeFella · 31/07/2021 08:41

Just what happened to Charlie? I really need to keep up with the thread.

Despite more gabapentin Tom was like a rampaging toddler last night. An attempt was made to put the bravecto on but he legged it.

Sorry I always seem to come asking for advice, but does anyone know any means of flea prevention that doesn't involve a spot on, touching him or putting on a collar? Tom loves being outside and I don't want him getting fleas.

Fluffycloudland77 · 31/07/2021 08:43

There might be some tablets. What happens if you gather his scruff in your hands? They usually go floppy if you do that.

NowYouListenToMeFella · 31/07/2021 09:12

Fluffy I have never tried that. He hates being touched and I'm afraid to try in case he hates me forever.

It doesn’t look like this needs a prescription, you’d need to crush in a high value food.

Fluffycloudland77 · 31/07/2021 11:33

Someone’s feeling brave. That or she’s trying to escape because I’ve banned dh from filling her up with treats when she has food out.

Love your shutters, Fluffy!

And Puddy is majestic. She is surveying her Catdom.

Thanks so much fluffy. Hopefully I can find a place that sells it here.

I'm still doing my family tree and found this. Ollie has demanded he is now Prince Oliver

YetAnotherSpartacus · 31/07/2021 12:10

Well I seem to remember a former MN name that prefigured that for you :)

Supersimkin2 · 31/07/2021 18:37

Stanhope’s one of those English names that howls ££££.

Just remember we were your friends before you hit the big time.

Capns had a cornucopia of sweets and wants more.

That's a glorious picture of him Lana. He looks so handsome and dignified.

nettie434 · 01/08/2021 09:58

Good news about the mortgage NotMyCat. Cap'n would be an ideal casting as Aslan in a remake of the Narnia books, Supersimkin2. He has a very noble expression. Puddy does look as if she is surveying her catdom. She has clearly settled if she's learned the difference between Fluffycloudland77 and Mr Fluffy when looking for treats.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/08/2021 10:02

Yes, Aslan - definitely!

And that is fantastic news NotMyCat!
