Barmaid, How's Fatboy Today?

[boxtops]

Have been thinking about him, I hope he's OK.

[wolf63]

and BM how are you - did Fatboy bite you? Have you murdered the wicked witch of the west?

[chaptazbru]

I hope he's OK too.

[Barmaid]

Fatboy appears to be fine, thank you.

I asked Mr BM to keep him in (I went to be early), but Mr BM "forgot" to block the flap - consequently he wasn't here when I got up this morning so I was a bit worried. But he rocked up and ate some breakfast and then went to bed. (He also had a wee saucer of milk which is what the vet advised I gave ASBO when he licked something caustic).

I went up earlier and he seems fine - no obvious over salivating etc.

He didn't bite me, but he ripped my right arm to shreds which is actually quite painful but healing. ASBO did however bite me last night when I told him off for trying to s**g Ninja Cat. Cats, eh, who'd have them? I could have done without all this when I feel so ghastly.

I haven't killed her. Yet. But today isn't over.........

[chaptazbru]

Good, glad he's OK.

Remember I can use the insanity reason and we all all CCL's - Crazy Cat Ladies.

Should have got a dog................cats are the spawn of the devil.

[wolf63]

spawn of the devil - Jack Russells. Cats are in second place.

With you with that one wolf my jack russell was a complete nightmare, now she is 11 she is just started to settle, cockapoos are also nightmares, but love and adore all 8 of my moggies + next doors 2 that moved in in october. :)

[anneasquith]

should you have a tetanus injection ?

[Barmaid]

Quite possibly Anne, but I think I am up to date with that. All the wounds are healing nicely.

Hey BM, talking of cat scratches you have reminded me of an horrific incident well it was for me anyway involving my mom's cat which happened years ago before I was married. Moms cat 'Fluff ' had an habit of sleeping in the airing cupboard in the bathroom and if she wanted to go out she would walk along the edge of the bath and jump out of the bathroom window on to the shed roof.
One evening I was having a bath ( had an hot date ) when 'Fluff' jumped out of the airing cupboard, deciding that she wanted to go out, she jumped on to the side of the bath and promptly fell in !, and in her panic and flailing about to get out of the water she used my body as an escape route. Gawd I looked like I had been involved in a sword fight with the Seven Samari, boy I was sore for weeks after that. Mom just laughed and gave me a tin of Germolene.

[Barmaid]

lol - when they scratch they SCRATCH!

I think ASBO has just been stung by a wasp! So that'll be a trip to Aunty Vets (sighs).

[tonyav]

Where has he been stung BM ?.

[ttfn]

Have the cats had *their* tetanus, BM? ;)

[Barmaid]

In his mouth. He tried to eat it. He is STOOPID!

Mind you, I don't think it is the first time.

lol TTFN, they've had all their jabs. The bloody animals come first in this house.

A friend of mine had a de-clawed cat, she didn't have it de-clawed, she rescued it. Poor timid little thing.

[Barmaid]

Perhaps i was wrong. he won't let me look but he's taken himself off for his breakfast now (he always has a later breakfast than the other cats the lazy so and so). I don't think he'd be chomping biscuits if he'd just been stung in his cakehole.

[Barmaid]

That's a horrible thing to do Alba. I don't care how many scratches I get or how many bits of furniture get wrecked, I couldn't do that. EVER. It's just cruel. At least kitty got rescued :)

[tonyav]

One of our cats was forever doing that BM, trying to eat wasps or bee's and quite often got stung. He still didn't learn from his experience though.

[tonyav]

Bloody hell alba, that is cruel ( declawed ), a cat needs their claws to defend their selves. But at least it got a good home after being rescued.
