Self-indulgent pet thread

[Vintage Paw]

Charlie had his annual vet check up and vaccinations today. Casually mentioning about the rather bad drool problem that has developed over the past few months, vet takes a peek in his mouth, discovers 2 fucking MASSIVE bits of plaque on 2 of his top side teeth, one either side. He just popped them off (ouch?) and is hopeful it might solve most of the dribbling (and some of the bad breath). All in all, it was a good trip for Charlie. Not a bum thermometer in sight.

Our vet made us 'flick' some plaque from one of Mr. K's teeth once. "It's easy" she said.

Yeah, for a vet! We ended up with shredded forearms and days of that cat look which means "You have betrayed my furry trust. Again"

LOL. Your vet must be a psychopath to suggest that.

I know ! I was a bit "Err....isn't that what we are paying you for"

Just tried waking Nigel (sleeping on me) so's I could maybe get a different (work) book.

Needy cat readjustment fail.

E2a: ohhhhhh, FFS

iPad battery is at 3%. You're getting shifted once its dead, cat.

It's that time of year again when they wrap their tails round their noses

Not pets, per se, but still some of my animals (May-ish)

What kind of sheep are they?

What kind of sheep are they?

The ewes are Lleyns crossed with a Wiltshire horn. The lambs are a second cross to another shedding ram of my colleagues making. The lambs should shed their fleeces like Wiltshire horns do, but mostly lack horns.

Lurvley sheep! Are they good for spinning?

I had a guinea pig called Gethin (Griff's predecessor). Great name for any creature.

What's Charlie reading?

Oh, the tooth plaque thing - vet did the same with Herbs when we took him in and discovered he had fleas (oh the shame) a couple years ago mad: bloody filthy people who lived there before who didn't look after their cat.) Thought he'd pulled a tooth it was that huge! Gah!

I'm afraid not - Wilts Horns are 'hairsheep' and shed their fleece naturally - it means they get flystruck less, but the 'wool' is coarser and more like hair. I have wooled sheep, but shearing them is kind of a loss-making enterprise.

I put the blanket back on the bed this week, Schrodes has been enjoying burrowing under it and playing around

Nigel's currently sitting on my lap whilst I work at my desk. She's only started doing it this week (it's not really a cat-appropriate space).

Best feeling ever, mind

Miss that lots, especially as Herbie started getting more cuddly with me towards the end (which to be fair, was probably down to him being ill!)

Just a couple more of the swine from the other night. They made one helluva mess under the foot stool.

Been trying out the camera on my new gadget on the resident supermodel:​

This is Meeep, named so due to the sound he emits from time to time.

Here he is somewhat camera shy.

Last but not least here he is being a carry-out.

awwwwwwwwwww at meeep

and are you sure the middle photo isn't the result of a hangover from drinking your beer in the third picture?

cat cuddliness is in inverse proportion to the temperature outside - it's a well known law of cat physics...

He is absolutely gorgeous, yaketyyak.

Thankyou I will tell him....... again. Hope he doesn't develop an ego.

@Puddy_Tat
If he could open it he probably would sup the lot, as he is showing extreme tendencies of greeed.

Alfie's lookin fine. Meep, well, I SO wanna babycat (but am exercising extreme self-restraint.)

Griff and Malcolm this morning . . .

Mal photobombing

 

[yaketyyak]

Wow!
Psychedelic parsley. Life just doesn't get much better.

Too too cute and wouldn't a kitten just complete the awesomeness.

 

[yaketyyak]

I also adore the beautiful cutsie mouth with the muzzy on the right there. Which is Griff and which is Malcolm.

 

[Vintage Paw]

I swear all guinea pigs look like my auntie Janice. Same mouth and everything. She also looks like Rolf Harris.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

I have learned a lot about guinea pigs from this thread.

The only pinnygig I had met previously was a class pet at primary school, and all he did was sleep, occasionally wake up and mooch a bit, eat a bit, meep faintly, and then go back to sleep.

Which always seemed kinda dull. The gerbils, by comparison did dig tunnels in the sawdust, run around, shred bog roll middles and sleep in a gerbil pile.

On reflection he was probably depressed - living in a pretty small cage and getting poked with ILEA pencils by scruffy 10 year olds is probably enough to make anyone depressed...

 

[Vintage Paw]

I had piggles as a child. The were really, really fucking loud.

Yep that's ma boy.

*sighs at the sleeeping Meeep*

What's with this forum? All I did was post "o hai I'm new" and I got a load of abuse. And what's a "firky"?
