Martha has spent much of the weekend like this

Martha is beautiful 🥰

You're not wrong Talked, they've got pulls on them now where he treadled. I guess if I wear a long enough dress top I'd get away with it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fluffycloudland77 · 06/02/2022 21:53

I’m glad he’s made it this far @TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo, it must’ve been awful for your parents seeing their pet hurt like that. Poor dog.

Sulking noisy cat here. He is shaking his head and scratching his ear, which he did last year and the vet said nothing wrong
I've put ear drops in which has been treated like I was torturing him, and now he's shouting at me
Excellent Hmm

@ihaveonecat ivy does this occasionally. When she was taken into the rescue she had cat flu, she was over it when I adopted her but then 6 months later she was poorly with sneezing, head shakes, holding one ear really flat and growling if I tried to touch it.

The vet said she had a virus linked to the cat flu (can't for the life of me remember what he called it) and it will recur over the years, she just needs a steroid jab every time.

Could it be something like that?

It was horrendous. My dad is still getting flashbacks.
ihaveonecat · 06/02/2022 22:56

@TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo could be - he has steroid injections for overgrooming funnily enough!

TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo · 06/02/2022 23:09

@ihaveonecat ivy had them for overgroomjng too! Although weirdly enough when we got her a kitten she started grooming her instead of herself 😂

Capn gets itchy ear, lasts for a couple of days. Invariably stops when the drops arrive.

I’m allowed to scratch it, a compliment no one really wants to get. Put a wipe on your little finger and don’t tackle it before a meal.

ihaveonecat · 07/02/2022 00:35

@Supersimkin2 tried scratching it. He looked at me like I was attempting to murder him, slammed his ear flap down and shouted at me
Decided not to try that again Grin drama cat

My stomach still lurches if a car passes the house too fast and it’s 2yrs 3 months since I lost asbo @TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo.

I’m doing online learning so Puddy has the square cat sitter set to birdies.

I asked paws if he was high on catnip and got a very accusing look

Every now and then I do understand why people claim black cats are difficult to photograph.

I can see an ear there.

Well it's been very active here, my middle-aged rescue cat has just caught a mouse for the first time since I got her almost a year ago! She was VERY proud. (Of course she tortured it rather than killing it, and I had to grab and dispatch it... but I was so impressed by her prowess that I didn't really mind.)

ihaveonecat · 07/02/2022 17:17

Ollie is "playing" with a Bengal down the road Hmm
By playing I mean bellowing at it while the Bengal shouts back through the window. I can hear them both from 8 houses away

There's been a contretemps today 😲 Woody, who is the gentlest cat ever has had a full-on scrap with a random black cat who appeared from nowhere this afternoon. I ran outside to intervene as did my neighbours due to the screeching, I was sure I'd find a bloodied and bleeding boy on the path. Nope, he strolled back inside and sat washing his paws before falling asleep Confused

I have an interview on Friday. Eek

@PollyCreo he sounds very nonchalant about it all.
