My back door is open 24/7 so the cats can go outside to perform toilet duties. It works well most of the time. For the last few months Kitty has decided she can pee behind the woodburner. The door was open only a few feet away from where she was in the kitchen but she came into the lounge to go...

I was at the supermarket this afternoon and I always look in the "sell by date" bin as there are sometimes wonderful bargains to be had if you get there just right. I freeze them. I was out of luck, or so I thought. The bin was full of frozen rice, but there was a supermarket employee marking...

Boyfie has caught a mouse and is actually eating it himself. He has never done that, he gives everything he catches to KFC, he has always claimed anything that isn't in a tin, foil tray, or pouch is inedible. I think we need a fanfare here. Tweed

Tears just spilled over at all the kind thoughts when I read the replies to update 2. I found a posh Gourmet chicken pouch and she ate most of it today :-) I will see how she is over the weekend. If she does not improve I will take her to TED and see what they recommend for her. If they think...

I am so annoyed I can hardly post this for hisspitting, I had an unannounced visit from my older brother today (not the one who has Tigger.) For the first time ever Boyfie was in his donut bed in the same room and didn't head for the hills as soon as a visitor came. He just stayed there...

I wondered if you all might want to compare Boyfie's recent vet bill for his cat fight and see what you think it might have been where you a Dispense Synulox 50mg pal tablets 500 x 10 (give one twice per day) = 5.21 Inject IM/SC Betamox INJ 100ml (0.25 ml )1.98 Inject IM/SC Metacam INJ 20ml...

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow, all day. I hope all goes well with your hand operation and that you won't need any more after this. When you are waiting to be taken to the operating theatre, know that I am sending you good vibes. Tweed

When I got up this morning there was dark coloured and white stuff all over the kitchen floor. It's still dark when I have to get up for work and it takes quite a few minutes for my eyes to adjust when I put the light on. I can "sort of" see but not properly for maybe about 10 minutes. I...

She is so happy that meowmie is home for the weekend and she hasn't been told off for peeing on her clothes in the bathroom/ Meowmie is worried that she has done this and has noticed that she is drinking more than usual. A trip to TED is on the cards. She is now asking to retire for the night on...

Blimey. When I got KFC a box to use - having never had one before - I naively thought that with one tiny 4lb cat using it, I might get away with scooping a 16x11 inch box every 2-3 days. Not so. Every evening after work finds me on my hands and knees shovelling and sieving clumps through my cat...

I got a phone call at work today from the staff nurse who assessed me for a day case operation last week. It has been agreed that I am not suitable for a day case and will definitely need to be an in-patient. However, due to the loss of the in-patient ward at the hospital I was going to be...

I now have 2178 posts unread. Purrs and prayers to all who need them that I have missed. If anyone particularly wants me to respond - e.g. in any area I might have expertise in, ping me. Especially Lesley. I understand completely how Social Services work in the UK, so if you are unsure or...

We seem to have a serial killer in Britain. He has killed 5 young prostitutes (driven by drug addiction to work in the sex trade) in the last few weeks. Two bodies were found yesterday. We had a serial killer of prostitutes in the late 70's/early 80's. Peter Sutcliffe. In his heyday he...

I have 2769 unread, hugs and purrs for anyone who needs them that I have missed. Going to work interferes with reading rpca. However, all the purrs you sent in 2005 for my recovery from ov ca worked, up to now. I am working 5 days/week now, thank you all so much. I firmly believe that the purrs...

If KFC cannot eat any cat food that is chunky and needs it all crushed up because of her ancient teeth, why can she eat a collared dove or a rat? With bones in, and wings and feathers and feet. Which she does. Eats the lot. Very good for her bowels ;-) She plays with me.
