Your daily cat and kitten news

[RubyToogood]

I got a proper look at Carrie's arch nemesis the fox today as it was quite near the back door (so much for the Scoot). It's really a beautiful creature in great condition with a fabulous coat, and suspiciously well fed

His Majesty is quite fond of the new treats (he had completely gone off lickilix and was growing indifferent to dreamies so I thought I would try something else). They really smell though.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

We love cuddles on a cold morning.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Aye dont let her out today. Not lilith weather by the sounds of it.

She was by the cat flap just now, contemplating whether she wanted to go out, but wisely decided not to!

I love that you have an office cat. I did try to adopt a stray as a Uni cat (when I worked in HEI) but ridiculous bureaucracy nixed it (E.g. “I’m allergic”, “Cats are full of fleas”, etc ) so eventually someone in the library adopted the wee soul. I just couldn’t believe how many people objected to the proposal of the collective care of an unwanted soul. Hard hearted bastards

I am surprised no one has objected. I’m not sure where else he frequents around the site, he tends to wander around the grounds, so we may not see him for a week or so, but then he turns up out of the blue and has a sleep on a chair for a bit before demanding to be let out.

such a beautiful face! (the orange one)

He's gorgeous

I think it’s a sign of your colleagues’ good character

Ours discovered snow this week, didn't go well. Today they are sitting out in torrential rain and wandering in like sponges on legs

 

[pogofish]

I got the winter bedding out today and promptly lost both cats.

A while later, I found them, buried in the middle of it, warm and sleepy!

 

[polly]

Yes Ken we all love him

Flashback pic of Miss Buttons from about 15 years ago. I still miss that wee face and personality

 

[Saul Goodman]

Spud Dutch-ovened me this morning. He was under the duvet with me, with the duvet pulled over our heads, and I was giving him his morning cuddle, when he suddenly decided he no longer wanted to be under the duvet, and left me under there with the stinkiest fart imaginable. He's a good boy!

They missed the obvious one of throwing up under the bed.

It doesn't matter how sound asleep I am, a cat has only got to start retching under the bed and I'm suddenly wide awake and shouting whatthehellareyoudoingunderthere!

Someone should invent an alarm clock that mimics that noise as I'd defy any cat owner to sleep through it.

Kizzy puked in the bedroom for the first time in aaages the other day, heard her from downstairs (luckily not in bed) so ran up and saw one little bit, cleaned it up and checked on her, washed hands went back to bedroom to get dressed and there was another quite a bit bigger bit so had to repeat the cleaning process
It was her eating too fast, again

Ah - my Vic!

Ah - my Vic!

There's this one too, which I think is Bob:

Indeed it is! I like to think they’d all be friends in real life

 

[stavros]

Hmm, yes, cats are always friendly to one another.

 

[sojourner]

Oh well, back for another enema tomorrow for our Jocks, unless he manages to go tonight. Steroids turn his bowels to stone. He did one tiny hard poo today, and two not quite as hard on Friday. Gonna cut out his dry food brekky, give him wet food only, lots of milk (he loves it), and keep on with the lactulose. I fear another bum trauma is inevitable though.

Awww, poor baby. Hope it's as painless for him as they can make it.

 

[pogofish]

Printer time..!

Meanwhile, oops..!

Crisis averted! He's just done a mahoosive stinky shit

Yay, great news! And hopefully no fish heads.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Throws my kipper supper away.

 

[sojourner]

Hahaa, no, no fish heads in our house! He was sooo much happier afterwards. Came up to me for a massively affectionate extended head bump, bless.

Steroids may generally a) stimulate thirst and b) loosen the bowels. He's the opposite of that! Normally he drinks tons of water. So weird. Anyway, I am incredibly relieved (and so is he!), and will keep on with the milk/wet food/lactulose solutions.

Catching up with the cat thread - "Ooh, sojourner's posted, let's hope he's had a shit!!!"

So relieved for him and you.
