That’s right Fluffy - rejection is not greeted with second chances. Resilience training required, good luck with that.

Yes, I’ve had worse. Bit on the vague side. Made a treat cappuccino earlier, very carefully, in an ashtray.

Pelo those flowers are just glorious. Ollie is playing hard to get. 😀

Prince had three breakfasts and is resting. We held paws last night in bed without him savaging me. He’s starting to get softer and much more relaxed - I get tail-slapped with affection now. 🐾

@YesItsMeIDontCare Her name is Mavis 😂😂.

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/07/2022 16:54

Aww Mavis 🥰 she luffs you. You’re the hot water bottle that never needs refilling.

Ours is still camped out in the kitchen waiting for yoghurt lady to come and give it up.

Sainsburys had the goods, and loads of them
If Ollie doesn't use it, I am

I got Puddy something similar last year. Didn’t work so I sent it back.

Ollie is currently lying on it as it's on my lap
Multi purpose Grin

Supersimkin2 · 16/07/2022 22:02

I got one for Prince! And the ‘large breed’ for me.

Bliss.

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/07/2022 22:05

My flat cat screens are a boon in this weather. Dh has the room with the ceiling fan AND the air con unit.

Supersimkin2 · 16/07/2022 23:41

Put coolmat in your pillowcase Pelo. Crisp coolness all night long. I use two to make a pillow sandwich 🥪.

Instant lie in you cos get sent right off again by flipping over to mat 2.

Money saving tip: it’s so hot next week wash your feathery pillows & duvets and dry them out rather than forking out a fortune at the laundrette, if they even exist now. All that evap cools the house too. £50 guineas saved.

Gomez is limping ☹️ doesn't seem to be anything obvious we've checked for thorns etc.

Not sure whether to try to get in the vets today or leave it until tomorrow.

Fluffycloudland77 · 17/07/2022 11:45

If she’s eating etc I’d leave till tm. If she goes off food that says infection.

HouseofHolbein · 17/07/2022 11:53

Thank you. Yes that seems sensible.

Defiantlynot41 · 17/07/2022 12:23

Agree with Fluffy, if she's eating, probably ok to leave to tomorrow, unless she is hiding somewhere dark (which is what DCat2 always does when she's been bitten and brewing an infection.

That's the same cat who was limping for a week, 2 vet visits with anti inflammatory and pain killing injections - still limping so I insisted on £300 ultrasound- stopped limping as soon as she came home with no further treatment (ultrasound was clear).

I lost my Mum yesterday - unexpectedly (she had dementia but was still living independently) ... she loved cats so I will be around for a bit of distraction but may not be posting much

Fluffycloudland77 · 17/07/2022 12:25

Oh no you poor thing! I’m sorry.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 17/07/2022 13:39

Sending (((hugs))) Defiantly, what a shock for you. Take care of yourself 💐

TheLongRider · 17/07/2022 13:48

💐Defiantly

It's not too bad over here, it's hot but I like heat so that's fine. DH has got COVID for the first time. He tested positive on Wednesday night. I've been sleeping downstairs on the sofa and he's upstairs with our one female cat who is loving the extra attention and full use of the bed. I'm the only one in the house not to have caught COVID yet...

HouseofHolbein · 17/07/2022 13:49

I'm so sorry @Defiantlynot41 💕 much love to you.

Gomez is happily lying in the sun or having lap cuddles so no worries there thank you.

Fluffycloudland77 · 17/07/2022 14:51

Will you get to sleep in your bed again though @TheLongRider? Is this a bloodless coup?

TheLongRider · 17/07/2022 14:56

I'm not sure about bloodless, she has a tendency to nip hard if you're not paying her enough attention. Apparently she's woken him up in the middle of the night by licking him on the nose.

DD and I are off to Paris for four days tomorrow, I'll get the bed back after that.

Papergirl1968 · 17/07/2022 15:07

I'm so sorry, Defiantly. Thinking of you x

YesItsMeIDontCare · 17/07/2022 15:41

It's all a bit much, poor baby 🥵

@Defiantlynot41 a photo of Gomez for you. Hope it helps 💕

@Defiantlynot41 True sympathies, what an awful shock for you. We are here as and when required.

@YesItsMeIDontCare Bless the limp yet lustrous Leroy! Havelock’s refusing to venture out even for Dreamies.

Supersimkin2 · 17/07/2022 19:37

Spoke too soon. Check the shame of the Happy Shopper FAKE DREAMIES - too covid-y to get to m and s.
