Someone is probably going to get a fairly sore tummy (or bum) soon if it had those chillis in them!

Everyone’s updates have triggered wails of laffs here despite a rough week for Coaster and Shell.

Shell - get a full blood count. The doc did me cos moany (me not him) and they came back with loads of bits missing eg iron and b12. Very common, very fixable.

Here’s Haveasnack trying it on from next door.

That's where we differ Lana - I have the Ashes test match on. Currently wonderin g if England are going to do their usual trick of dragging defeat from the jaws of victory.

They all seem remarkably happy and free from any ill effects. Even the litter trays are no worse than usual.

Frankenstein nearly always sleeps in the loaf position, occasionally in a circle, but the last few days he has been showing how long he is, and lying next to me. I'm hoping this is him growing more confident and secure as he's always quite timid (unless there's human food on offer!).

Haveasnack 🤣🤣🤣

Supersimkin2 · 09/07/2023 14:59

He’s been in twice today. Just tottered off licking lips.

TheShellBeach · 09/07/2023 15:45

We've got two "Haveasnackers" (Picard and Suzy)

I know at least one has been in today because DH and I went to get our groceries and when we got home, the food bowls had been licked clean.

Thank you.
Sorry if I'm being maudlin. I miss her so much. 😥

Ah, she was clearly a lovely cat❤️

Papergirl1968 · 09/07/2023 23:31

Of course you miss her. Your heart is broken and you're hurting because of how much you loved her. 💔
We've all been through it or know we will go through with our own fur babies. Your grief is still raw right now. It will get easier but it takes time and it's still very early days.
Wish I could give you a big hug.

Beautiful pic to treasure.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 10/07/2023 08:14

That's a great picture of Emerald Shell. Captures her beautifully.

Here's a bonus picture of TC on his cat tower thus morning. Only had room for four pics on his own thread 😁.

That's a lovely photo of Emerald, TheShellBeach. You are not being maudlin at all. You are missing a well loved member of your household.

TC looks mightily determined in that picture, Grumpy.

I made pork with a jerk, honey, and ginger marinade yesterday. I left two of the loin chops on the hob, covered with a big pan lid as they were too warm to put in the fridge. Came down this morning, only one chop left. Somebody (my suspicions are that it was Frankenstein) had managed to get up on the side, squeeze past the mixer and other things blocking access to the hob, move the heavy pan lid and steal a chop.

There were no remnants left, despite the marinade having scotch bonnet chillis in it. Clearly SOMEBODY likes spicy food. He is lying next to me at the moment, the picture of innocence!

Oh look at him! Cheeky boy. Loved that he nicked the chop 🐈‍⬛🤣

They seem to be very good at snaffling pieces of meat from people's plates.
