Besides Pat.. Please hold up your hands now. You are needed for an important mission. Tweed

I just heard a sort of crunching noise from the next room. It was Kitty FC slightly moving her position on the beanbag bed next to the fire. She *does* love it, I knew she would eventually. Beanbag beds are ideal for old pets, they are warm and provide support whatever position the pet adopts...

I stayed up until 3.30 a.m. with the lad last night just to keep an eye on him. This was probably unnecessary as he settled down to sleep at about 9.30 and was still fast asleep in the same place when I got up this morning. He seems absolutely fine, eating, drinking and acting normally. When I...

He never plays but the other day I crushed up some kitchen foil into a ball and left it in the kitchen. Just in case a kitty might like it. He didn't notice it for two days but then I saw him bat it around with his paws and pounce right up into the air on it ;-) It was lovely to see. So when he...

Kitty FC has changed her mind about the new beanbag bed. If I offered her her old sheepskin back in exchange I'm sure she would now refuse. She absolutely *loves* it and it being winter, and she being an old lady, she is hardly ever off it. She darts outside quickly for toilet duties, gets off it...

I hope you all won't think this sounds stupid but as hairballs seem to be on the agenda right now, I would like to ask this: I have only ever had one hairball horked up from my cats, Kitty left me one on the rug about a year ago. I didn't even know what it was, and had to ask here! I imagined...

You were quite right. Here I was thinking that if Wanadoo (my ISP) were going to stop their newsfeed they would at least have the grace to let me know. I read news almost exclusively on news individual net, but have the wan/server as a backup. I thought I'd better check today. Clicked on rpca on...

Those of you who have been posting here for some time will remember the major surgery I had to have last year. I had to have a very long incision from above my ribcage down to the pubis due the nature of what was wrong, so that all my other organs could be looked at. Well, I think it has come...

I got home from work tonight and the first thing I noticed when I entered the lounge was a few smashed ornaments on the floor. I looked upwards and saw two shelves which had been on the wall for megayears with a few photos and ornaments was off the wall. I began to wonder if I'd been burgled as...

He's on Kitty's favourite piece of "pretend sheepskin" here. A corner of his "secret under the table wicker bed" can be seen on the right. http://www.possibleplaces.com/Tweed/

I've been having a bit of a problem with pain in my back when I wake up in the morning, so much so that it hurts enough to make it difficult for me to get out of bed. I wondered if it might be my bed, which is probably due for replacement. I decided to sleep in the other bedroom last night, nice...

I am quite colourful today. No, not my clothes, my legs and arms. They are purple, blue, black and red. I had the idea yesterday that I would clean out my wild bird nestboxes of this years nests, ready for next spring. I usually do it in October as there isn't any chance of it being in use at...

My uncle sent me this, I thought it was worth sharing with you. When a panel of doctors were asked to vote on adding a new wing to their hospital, the Allergists voted to scratch it and the Dermatologists advised no rash moves...... The Gastro-entomologists had a gut feeling about it, but the...

Boyfriend has seemed hungry today, and he has already eaten three pouches of wet food, so when he asked me for more a while ago I decided to give him some dry kibble. He has a dish for his wet food and one for his dry, in a different part of the kitchen. I got a new box of dry from the porch (we...

is interfering with my preferred life! I've nearly 500 posts unread on the group so purrs & prayers and all good wishes to anyone who needs them that I've missed. Or replies to my posts that I haven't acknowledged, sorry, I hope to catch up one day. Tweed

I am sending a few off day by day. It's really shocking how much overseas postage is for each card. 68p. I sent 10 today. I really wanted to send to everyone on the list especially those on receive only as I was on receive only last year because I'd been very ill. To be sensible, although I...

Now, as I get up very early in the week for work, I *do* like to have a little lie-in on Saturday and Sunday morning. I was not best pleased, therefore, to be woken up this morning before 7 by Boyfriend wowling his head off. I put the pillow around my ears, but no good..he would not shut up. I...

Many apologies to anyone who I haven't sent one to up till now. I really did want to send to all but I've run out of energy. I tend to believe I am more well than I am and can do more than I really can. Sorry. Tweed
