Cap'n is very sophisticated in his eating habits, Supersimkin2. I can imagine him saying to you after the guests have left, 'No need for all that parsley next time, Super. Just chop me some chorizo and peel me some grapes.'

Sorry about the various difficulties, papergirl1968. Look after yourself! And you too, Allergic!

Hope Dcat2 is improving, Defiantly41.

Papergirl1968 · 31/03/2022 10:43

You ought to write a weekly newspaper column about Cap'n, Lana!
Glad Dcat2 is eating, Defiantly. That's a good sign.
Thanks for all the sympathy and advice about my crappy week. I really ought to go over to the dog board but I'm too scared they'll advise me to have her put down. Lots to think about. I did some research last night and our local pet shop is very good so I'll see what options they have.

Defiantly41 · 31/03/2022 10:57

Quick update:
Vet pleased with progress, weight up a teeny bit, wound looking clean. Change of meds and another visit next week, plus keep an eye to make sure she doesn't clean the wound too aggressively.

If she does, she will have to have the bodysuit, which she hates but looks very cute

Yay Defiantly.

Paper, the pet shop will help you and DDog. All is not lost.

OrangeBlossom28 · 31/03/2022 19:00

Lovely update and the red body suit looks all comfy.

MrOllivander · 31/03/2022 19:14

Last time we went to the vet, they said ollies temp was low
Where is he asleep today? The warm teepee, the marshmallow bed, my bed, under a blanket? No. Under an open window. I mean.. Hmm

Supersimkin2 · 31/03/2022 22:09

Capn has eaten 0 today. I have a feeling he’s after chorizo but it’s still stressy. He’s losing weight, which is to be expected, but I’m slowing it as much as poss. Will vet him tomorrow (by phone cos he hates going in).

Fluffycloudland77 · 31/03/2022 22:27

Can you get invalid supplements for cats like those ones you used to get on the nhs for the elderly?

Supersimkin2 · 01/04/2022 07:57

He had a gourmet and some double cream in the night. M&S do a pampered pet range, called The Deli.

I’ll give it a whirl, off to Pets at Home today.

MrOllivander · 01/04/2022 08:34

Applaws is good if he would like that? Or some kitten food
Ollie LOVES the blink stuff and even paws eats that. Speaking of, Paws asked to leave at 3.30am Hmm

Supersimkin2 · 01/04/2022 09:18

Thanks, I’ll try the applaws. And Blink.

Want2beme · 01/04/2022 17:06

I wonder what they're plottingHmm

We're friends, Nemo and Charlie. It's a pity that I can't upload videos, the purring was immense.

Not my cats and friends
Fluffycloudland77 · 01/04/2022 18:29

OOf, Charlie is not going to starve is he 😹

TheLongRider · 01/04/2022 19:01

Charlie has stubby paws and a thick coat. He is 5.5kg though! He's well over 10 and certainly in his senior years.

Papergirl1968 · 01/04/2022 19:39

Any joy with getting Cap'n to eat, Lana?

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/04/2022 21:26

As a very special treat im letting puddy on the heated throw.

Asbo turning in grave.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 01/04/2022 21:39

Leroy is on my lap and has been for about 40mins. My "good" arm is killing me 'cause he's leaning against it, and my bum is dead

BUT

He's snuffly snoring, paw twitching and killing-bite practicing in his li'l furry dreams.

Hell will freeze over before I move this fluffy baby 🥰

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/04/2022 21:57

High gas prices are making strange bedfellows of us all 😺

MrOllivander · 01/04/2022 22:19

Paws is asleep, silently
Ollie is WHINGING. I'm off to bed as it's the only place I can watch Netflix in peace
I just told him to STFU and sit down and he sneezed at me Angry

YesItsMeIDontCare · 01/04/2022 22:34

DH has decamped to the spare room. Leroy very pointedly removed himself from my lap and spread himself on DH's side of the bed, complete with a "Fuck off, I was here first" look.

We know the hierarchy in this house.

Supersimkin2 · 02/04/2022 00:27

Capn had Dreamies in cream and we kipped all day on the sofa duvet. A single duvet, might I add, it’s so cold we didn’t move.

Lovely purring Long.

Fluffycloudland77 · 02/04/2022 11:25

Puddy is also designed for a famine. It’s a good job because our heating is hardly on now. 15c this morning on the landing.

Not my cats and friends
Defiantly41 · 02/04/2022 14:42

Oh lovely Puddy. I've been wondering why DCat1 has been lying on the bathroom floor, then I realised the underfloor heating was still on (unlike the rest of the house)

Supersimkin2 · 02/04/2022 16:53

Puddy terribly beautiful.

3rd day of refusing food for Capn.just about managed to get his meds in, which should help and haven’t. He is still purring and on me, thank God. Kidney failure and the rest of his ailments (bar the teeth) don’t hurt.
