June phoned to say Pudding passed away in her sleep last night curled up in her duvet. June wanted to thank you all again for purring for her, she did get such a good result from your purrs and we thought it might last.. She said "I guess it must have been her time." Tweed

My alarm clock is redundant. I can get up and go to bed when I want. Sometimes I get up at 6 or 7 but today it was 10. Boyfie's stopped waking me up for work. I think he was alerted by the alarm clock and used to meow if I was not up within 15 minutes. We have a far more relaxed life now. He...

in the next few days to see why he's so desperate for food. Again. Last time I took him, he had blood tests and all was fine. They said he was a greedy cat, and he is. But it's not normal that has a meal and wants another within two/three hours

as a rat patroller. For a while I've suspected a rat around the chickens and today I saw it cheekily running out to get the chicken food seconds after I fed them. It was a large one that Boyfie should had caught when it was small. Guess it's time for the terriers again. Boyfie is not allowed...

He's had his two wet meals and now he thinks I have forgotten his likkel sprinkle of dry. He nearly knocked me off my chair just now rubbing and purring so I guess he has to have it *right now* I swear this boy must have been reared on dry, he loves it so much. So he gets his sprinkle of dry. ...

Are you safe? I hear there is rioting and looting near you tonight. Tweed

For the UK tomorrow so i went out and got all we needed. Boyfie and myself will be fine for weeks for food. I got myself a new calor gas bottle for the little heater I have in case my wood runs out. We will be Ok. It's a bit nippy here. Boyfie has discovered that I put the fire on in the kitchen...

Both Boyfie & Tigger got their letter from TED. I usually make the appointment but Claire promised she would do it this time and Maisie too but hasn't. The problem is that she is so busy, with having three children and working so I will do it myself next week. I will also make an appointment...

It's tonight. Boyfie and myself will be going to bed early to avoid the fireworks Tweed

I thank you all so much for your kind and supportive posts. I still cannot believe she is gone. I have moved on from the storms of weeping and anger to the hopeless stage when I realise I will not see her again and the guilt of knowing if I hadn't been in hospital it would not have happened. We...

Yes, I think so. An RSPCA "inspector" has no more right to break into my house than a member of the public does, not that they ever did here but they think they can. They think they are "animal police" In fact they are a charity and none of the "inspectors" have any more powers than I do. I...

He likes to have his breakfast and then go out for a few hours. He will return about 10 or 11 and sleep on the spare bed on the duvet until 5. He then expects his evening meal and will go out again if the weather is good. If it's raining he goes back to bed. The weather is good so he is still...

Sorry. Tweed

Boyfriend is *so* greedy. He gets his breakfast and three hours later he claims he will die of starvation if he is not fed. As I am off work atm I shake a little bit of dry into his bowl which he wolfs up. By 5 pm after his sleep on the duvet he is certain he will starve again. He purrs all...

To recover from exhaustion. Read -too much negative media attention. It saddens me. IMO it should all be positive. Here is a person who has some degree of learning difficulty, I cannot deny that. She is not conventionally beautiful, I cannot deny that either. But by god she can sing. Tweed

I was surprised to see him on Saturday as he hadn't been in touch since before my recent operation, although he knew about it. He was a bit sniffy that my house was not as tidy as he thought it should be, which is surprising as he never lifts a finger in his own house but lets his wife do it...

Last night I dreamt my bed was full of insects. I threw the duvet back and the bed was full of lice which scuttled away. There were some big beetles in there, huge ones which did not bother me, and in a tiny crevice of the duvet there were some some butterflies, Huge ones, and I put them out...
