What kept you? ;-)

I know, two days missed opportunity. I like the shorter videos.

I was packing earlier and thought that I had all my clothes packed away. I then discovered a whole ottoman of new clothes for me to wear 'when I lose weight'.

My brother is coming up from the country south of the border to help me next week - he is going not going to be happy with my progress. Not that he will be surprised ☺

Aint that the truth

You've got a week to make progress. Though, if you are like me...you realise that the night before
I can do one better on the cat sales pitch, and describe the oh-so-rare non-plant eating feline. I've got one...lucky me, no green gunge on the floor or panicked trips to the vet.

The first Christmas that Frankie and Princess Merlin arrived I saw red glittery stuff sticking out of the butt of Frankie. There wasn't much but it was a strange thing to snack on.

Waking up to him sitting on my pillow chomping on a live spider became a regular event. Merlin was very girly when it came to spiders - she screamed and ran away!

Some gingers to go with your silly puss

Lol! I chose Toby over a ginger boy. I've never had one...they are hilarious critters by all accounts.

Had a ginger , Boris knackerov, he was as thick as two very short planks, at the same time I had an Abyssinian cross/tabby she, who was far too intelligent and had an obsession with toilet rolls. Boris was no trouble except he kept going into small places and getting stuck.

Rowan, those gingers are gorgeous. It is a site that I will try never to visit again - it is far too addictive.

You think Frankie was thick, Try a ginger, never met an intelligent ginger tom, although I have known a few that were psychopaths, killing anything they could catch. My neighbours at the time were a little shocked when Henry and Morgan brought home a nearly dead herring gull... That would have taken some doing. I was the pair of them on the railway embankment stalking a big dog fox.

Was! Saw!!!!

Merlin was stupid, stroppy and vicious. She bullied poor Frankie.

Frankie used to leap from the bathroom floor to the high shelf that he birdwatched from. He sometimes missed but kept doing it until the time when he fell down the toilet on the rebound.

He took to watching them from under the skylight in the hall at the top of my stairs, he would get excited at the birds and almost break his neck falling down the stairs.

It is actually nice not being wakened in the middle of the night to screaming cats about to tear each other apart, being trampled over as part of a cat freeway at zoomies o'clock or the smash of some item being thrown from a shelf.

Back when I still had Sally, there was a very young ginger Tom that would come out to greet us when we passed his house...he was called gizmo. He was fine around my old girl...trying to head butt her. Any other dog,and he'd scamper off. He wasn't that stupid if he knew she was 'safe'.

[wolf63]

Cats are excellent readers of body language and can spot a change in your routine especially if there is a possibility that you are not getting ready to go to work but to the vet.

I used to get anxious for Frankie to eat the drugged treats, the more that I insisted that he eat it the more suspicious he would get.

I loved Merlin but she was dense, she used to wake herself up when she made a noise and then run off, away from the noise. A few minutes later she would come back, all confident and cocky. She must have engaged her one brain cell and realised what she had done.
