Self-indulgent pet thread

[Puddy_Tat]

this is gonna sound really sad but im starting to come round to the view that animals should have their own forum on here

and one for their humans as well?

His sleeping corner was near the front door and he was always there when I got in from work - it's gonna be a while before I stop worrying about tripping over him in the dark! [/quote]

Chip had a good long life by the sounds of it. Sorry Smmudge

Nico just woken up:

 

[smmudge]

Thanks for the kind words guys. It hasn't been sad though - it was his time and he went peacefully, which doesn't always happen with pets so I feel very lucky for that.

should have named Boris Houdini! He escaped again! Saw his little furry bottom wiggle away from me back in his cage now

Cat 1 is trolling kitten 2, who is locked inside & unable to get out

Boris decided to have a wander round the sofa tonight

We had to say goodbye to our Chip today. He would have been 18 in April. Was still a cheeky chappy even yesterday but he was stumbling about a bit. Arthritic and bony and basically an old bugger so he went happily at the vets

Bizarre how his arse and tail look exactly like the ball of wool and knitting needle

We call this cat 'fat boy Nigel cat.'

I hadn't seen him for the best part of a year, but on the way to the gym a little black thunderbolt shot out in front of me and started begging for attention the second I made cat-friendly noises. He's got an awesome voice (kinda deep nasal monotonal MAWWWW) and is the friendliest little fucker in the world. He's either cold, or a naturally inquisitive slag. He was begging to hop in my car when I was off to the gym (!)

The minute I got home, a full hour later, a little black thunderbolt streaked out of a side road and started MAWWWWing again I have no idea how he found me, but he'd clearly clicked either to the sound of my car door (distinctive - Nigel recognises it streets away and'll come to find me when I get home), or that he'd clocked where I live.

And after I'd *ahem* given him a couple of the chicken treats I'd just picked up at Asda, he tried to get a foot in the door n all

Nigel = unimpressed A second little thunderbolt sprant down from upstairs, and he was gone in no time. I went out to have a bit more of a conversation. Hope I see him again! Lovely little fella. A total slag, wonderful voice, and incredibly friendly.

He also does lightning-quick ponks. Nigel kinda reaches up, all leisurely like, and then FUCK yeah pushes her nose through your hand. He's just like a bobcat. UPBRUSHDOWN. UPBRUSHDOWN

So so so sorry to hear about Aphex and Chip

Griff's got a check up on Friday morning. It's late, but must give him a shower before bed. Starting to feel a bit anxious - can't tell if lumps on the right side are bigger or about the same. Just have to sweat it out.

Never knew how much fun a rodent could have with a paper bag. Boris might like one!

 

[Dovydaitis]

Oooo might have to try that! He has a crinkly tunnel that he likes. Currently trialling a toilet for him as he keeps doing his business in his house! Filthy boy

The beast who was clambering on my shoulders a month or so ago:

Within 30s of our leaving him (with much wailing and gnashing of teeth), he'd picked up another couple

More upside down gingerness. Being cute for food.

Good news! Griff had his check up yesterday. Vet couldn't feel any further lumps on the left side and thought if anything, those on the right had decreased in size. He'd put on 10 grams in weight - identical now to Mal, so they are both right porkers.

Belated greetings from a small Welsh Rodent:

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant Hapus pawb! Happy St David's Day everyone!

 

[Puddy_Tat]

glad all's going well

:meep:

I absolutely LOVE your cat. I have cat envy. Badly.

Rolo was visiting today. He's such a doll!

Glad Griff is ok

cozy kitty

My cat is affording me some amusement by sidling up to the fridge, pulling off a magnet and then doing that cat thing of looking in the other direction and batting it with his paw and pretending he's done nothing to help it skitter across the floor before he goes in for the kill.

(((defenceless fridge magnet)))
