It makes no difference, she still doesn't like him much. He likes her, though. He seems to look out for her. He does seem to be a bit unsung, doesn't he? KFC has a lot to be happy about. Nice home, bodyguard, meowmie, chickens. All that's missing are children. I wonder why she's so quiet? |

Is she physically unable to meow, or just a quiet cat? She seems to be physically unable to meow. Her mouth opens but nothing comes out, she's always been like this. Sometimes a very tiny sound will emerge, like "ier" but mostly nothing. Lucky for her she has BF to speak for her. And maybe he doesn't mind her temper, but just takes it in stride. Felines seem to do a lot of whacking at each other, even as a way of being friendly. Not saying KFC was being friendly, just that cats might put up with that treatment more than humans would. I know I'd be pretty annoyed if I did someone a nice favor and they slapped me in the head in thanks! He is very good with her, she's pretty crabby and he puts up with it with very good humour. Joyce - still trying to picture how KFC got trapped by a pillow... Ah well, here's the explanation. I have a bay window in my lounge and my three-seater settee fits into it snugly. On the left hand side there is a small space where the back and arm do not quite fit against the wall. Kitty's cushion is on the left hand side of the top of the back cushions, she must have toppled off it in the night and her cushion had fallen too and blocked the space for her to get out. She was fine. You can see her on her cushion at: http://www.possibleplaces.com/Tweed/ Tweed |

Early wake-up
Poor KFC!!!! How brave of Boyfie to call the alarm. I'm glad she is OK!
"Christina Websell" wrote in message ... 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 reluctantly got up, thinking "this better be good, Boyfie, or you and I might have a few words!!" When I got downstairs, I found Boyfie staring intently at the side and back of the settee. I could hear vague scrabbling noises coming from behind it. Some years ago, a rat got in and was in this very place, so I immediately thought the same might have happened again. I accused Boyfie of being a wimp, why did he not just catch it?? Then I noticed...that Kitty's beloved cushion-on-the-back-of-the-settee-where-I-love-to-sleep was blocking any entrance out of there from the top and also that Kitty was nowhere to be seen. I removed the cushion. A very small tuxedo girl climbed out from her prison. To say she was annoyed would be an understatement :-) the girl flashed fire! She must have fallen off her cushion during the night and it tipped over to prevent her escape. Was she pleased with Boyfriend for alerting meowmie to her plight? Not a chance. He went up to her to say he got her out and was she okay? and she boxed his ears. Hard. Not only that but she said wowlie rude noises to him. He just shrugged and went outside on rat patrol. I just love this cat. Tweed |

It seems like that, doesn't it? Bless his enormous heart. I think he's quite an anxious cat, it's probably the temperament he was born with, he is a worrier. Kitty was also taken in from de out, just like he was. Does she care if I fall off a ladder or through logs into an empty pond? No. Does she feel obliged to accompany me down the garden, no matter how cold, rainy, snowy, howling winds and gales to help me with the chickens. No. Not if it interferes in any way with her snoozing in front of the fire. She's a cat, and that's how it should be. But Boyfriend *does* take it upon himself to endure all this weather to accompany me. I don't know why, he certainly doesn't have to and I haven't encouraged him to do so. I would prefer him to stay in the house and keep warm actually while I endure the weather while I'm doing the poultry hut close-up dance ;-) Not a chance. I am definitely not to be trusted on my own down the garden. Is there such a thing as a cat saint? Tweed P.S. There were some men in next door's garden (the empty house) with torches. This was after dark last night and Boyfie meowed at the back door, so I went out. I shouted to them "Eh, what do you think you are doing?" No reply. "Hey, you, with torches, what are you doing in the garden?" Reply "Is it your garden?" Me "Yes" (it isn't) Me: "what are you doing in my garden at this time of night?" Them "Looking for a football" Me: "I think not, clear off immediately, or I will call the police." They went. An hour later my neighbour knocked on my door to see if I was okay because my house was surrounded by police cars with flashing lights. Another neighbour had called them. Much more excitement than has happened down here for years ;-) |
