Not my cats and friends

Number.. I have no idea

I can imagine, stressful too. Fat ginger hug from Capn with extra nose rub and complimentary plumy tailstroke facial. Thinking of you both.

Ollie sends a giant snuggle
Paws.. well. He offered a sympathetic look

Puddy will be glad others understand her trauma.

What a fabulous cat handicraft book, Talked Too Much. The person who made the slippers was Japanese too. It must be a thing over there.
Hugs to Fluffy, your DH and poor neglected Puddy.

Howzit going, Grumpy and Mr Fluff.

🧢n is off to vet tomorrow. Dodgy fangs.

I'm still here thank you. Tested positive again on Sunday morning, so I continue to wander around the house chanting 'unclean, unclean'. (I'm still feeling fine though 👍)
The good news is that neither Mrs Grumpy nor DS2 seem to have picked it up, so DS2 is at hospital as we speak for his minor (toenail) surgery.
Bloody Karl however... He was under the weather again, and this time has bite marks on his neck. Back on antibiotics and metacam. The vet kindly didn't charge us for the injection this time, she said since he'd been in so many times recently she'd let us off .

Result with Karl!!! Poor boy tho and poor you - but looking good for Easter with any luck. Ditto DS - was it the infernal agony of ingrown toenail?

This might cheer DS up. Despite sensible shoes, podiatrist etc I had a rudely persistent ingrown toenail for years. Me and the podiatrist got quite good at heading it off at the pass, then lockdown. When naturally one is cleaning and tidying house. Eviscerating a dusty cupboard I dropped a vintage Roberts radio on my foot. An hour of retching and speechlessness - next day toenail went black and fell out, ingrown bit included. Best surgery ever.

Without wishing to overshare - yes ingrowing toenail (both sides) and oroblems on the other big toe (that had previously been ingrowing).
Both toenails being fully removed today .

Gosh, my granddad had both big toenails entirely removed as they were ingrowing. I was fascinated by his toenail-less toes and spent ages interrogating him about how they felt, how it had happened etc

Who is beating poor Karl up?

Who is beating poor Karl up?
We assume it is the grey and white cat we sometimes see, but can't prove it.
Just to confirm I'm sure it's not TC - they occassionally grumble but I've never seen real fighting going on.

Grey and white bastard again?! Bah.

Capns next door cos NDN’s having a sandwich.

Well obv it’s not TC. He’s like family to those cats.

Puddys being very affectionate for a cat whose had dreamies.

Very emotionally beautiful Fluffy.

NDN had to physically eject Capn 3x this pm and shut the door.

He was found shortly afterwards in her kitchen drinking Havelock’s cream.

She’s now shut the windows.

Is your ndn always this unsociable?

Outrageous, isn’t it. And, get this (raw indignation), I sorted Havelock out with my vet after he got that mystery scratch on the nose.

Paws arrived, ate all the food and left. Charming
I suspect he isn't happy with the peloton taking over the cat room

Havelock has cream?

Bloody cats - I should have them made into mittens!!!
Crash heard yesterday evening. This was a jug that my mum commissioned for me 30 odd years ago from a local Cotwold potter.
Both mum and potter are long dead. Jug is irreplaceable. It was that little sod Lenny chasing Sybil.
Grrrrrr.

Oh, Grumpy I'm so sorry. I put away all my breakables when mine arrived but that's not a good option either because now I can't see all my precious things and the memories they evoke. I have things belonging originally to my deceased parents too.

Top marks to Cap'n for his determination. There is nowt as single minded as a cat that is shut out.
I'm gutted for you, Grumpy. Could a specialist repair it, I wonder. The cracks would still be noticeable, I guess, but it might be able to be put back together.

Mittens is too good for them @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats.
