I'm staying at my inlaws' with their delightful black cat, Jack. He's completely deaf :D so a little eccentric, but very sweet. Will try and get a picture of him later.

Deafness is a pretty good attribute for a domestic cat. My childhood cat was deaf for her last few years, which meant that thunder, hoovers and fireworks were no longer the work of Satan.

Yeah, I think it has its plus points. I do feel for him though, it's so weird walking into a room where he's sleeping and him not responding at all - no ear twitch, no tail flick, he genuinely doesn't know you're there until you sit on the bed or touch him.

He's a nervous little thing, partly cos of the shit life he had before my inlaws took him in :( but surely also because as far as he's concerned the world is just constantly sneaking up on him.

He has settled down a lot since coming to live with them though, filled out and cut down on the biting :)
 
The Bern has now perfected his "Are you stupid?" look. Meows at bowl. Gets kibble. Walks over to fridge, stares at it for a minute. Trills. Walks back to bowl, gives "Are all humans this useless?" look. Waits patiently for gooshy food. Finds politeness works.
 
I'm happy to report that over 3 years later, I've finally got net curtains for my bedroom again. No more ducking while changing or after a shower. The reason why I haven't had a net curtain was fear that Rogue the rebel would climb and rip it apart. This is what she did when we first became flat mates :D
She did the same to the living rooms as well but I'm not to fussed about that. It's the bedroom window that is the priority. Headed to Morleys in Brixton after work and got it all sorted :)

I've got to collect her wee on Weds night/Thurs morning. HAHAHAHA.

I've bought some KatKore litter, which is these non-absorbent silicone balls or something, and comes with pipettes and test tubes for collecting it. Fingers crossed she'll actually use the tray and not hold it in. She usually shows her tray displeasure by pissing on the floor next to it, so if the worst comes to the worst I'll probably just be able to suck it up from there :D

(She's just going for a follow-up check because at her annual checkup her potassium was a bit low - so she's having another blood test to double check it on Thurs, and they'd like some wee for whatever dark arts accompany that.)
 
Getting to my front door as the dark sets in, I look up and see a little white triangle in my bedroom. I open the door and hear a massive thud, which you wouldn't think would come from 4kg of fur, and then I have my ankles thoroughly rubbed as I try to unpack.
