I would like to commend both CRI and fishfinger for excellent use of the word 'sphincter' in a pet thread. Good work.

I don't think the megamogs i used to live with ever managed to turf me out of bed
I managed the opposite once - they were reasonably well organised in that each owned one side of the bed and i got the middle (the only time there was a territorial dispute, they both got put out, so didn't try it again)
one night, right hand side mog came back to bed after being out somewhere, and his jumping on to the bed / me caused me to roll over without quite waking up - i was then aware i'd rolled in to something.
i was then woken by a dull thud, which consisted of left hand side mog landing on the floor, looked over the edge to see a somewhat confused looking kitty on the floor...

I am Noodle's bitch.
Midnight seems to have taken a knock or fall of some sort. She's eating perfectly well, but doesn't want anybody touching the base of her tail although the tail itself is moving perfectly well. She's a little nervy, but not panicky and has hissed a couple of times when we've touched the base of her tail. She's moving perfectly well too.
Any ideas?

Spring is in the air and the ticks are in the grass. Garchomp has lost most his hair at the back of his body but still rolls in the grass and sits waiting for his mole. At this rate he will be bold by mid-summer.
He is allergic to tics and even more so to flea repellants so he just will have to suffer it another year. Not that he seems bothered by it. So far this year he has had 3 mice and 2 blue tits. Got to prevent the blackbirds from nesting in the hedge this year as he managed to get two fledglings last year. They were so young took me most of the day to realize they were blackbirds
There's no cat flap and we can't install one either so he usually gets let in before I go to bed. Couple of days ago he was locked out for the night and was standing on the roof by the Velux demanding at 3.30 to be let in.
Managed to open the window without knocking him off the roof, grabbed him by the scruff of the neck rather hardhanded and pointed him towards the stairs, don't want him making a habit of it. Fingers crossed, he hasn't done it since

could be an infection of some sort - maybe from a bite or scratch (flea / tick / another kitteh)
get well soon, midnight
Here's Marjorie yesterday, she's quickly sussed out monopolising the computer keyboard will get her some attention
She's a delightful cat, friendly, affectionate and curious, but I suspect I may have got a little more than I expected. She arrived via a friend of a friend, she's been looking for a home as her previous owners had a houseful with other cats, dogs and kids. The said friend of a friend has offered to get Marjorie spayed for me, as she can get this done cheaply being a pensioner. I thought this was kind of her and we arranged to speak early this week to arrange (and I planned to keep her in the house until after this anyway, so she can orientate herself) However, since Marjorie's arrived, I've started to wonder if she's already pregnant!?! She's quite a small cat but she's suspiciously podgy around the stomach
I'm not too perturbed tbh, am sure I'll be able to find good homes for kittens if they do arrive, and I'll get Marjorie spayed a.s.a.p. after that so she can go out in safety!
I have loads more pics, but can't work out how to post more than one in a single post

We had the same problem. We had to put a lock on the door to prevent just that
After 3 months of scratching at the carpet and generally being annoying he gave up and doesn't bother us in bed unless one of us has got up and been in the kitchen 1st

Tick Tock.....
Thought I'd introduce my 2.....Willow and Jaspah...........Willow(b&w) is the dominant girl, 8, lots of fun, not a lap cat but totally bed cat, had her since she was 1. Hardly ever see Jaspah (ging), he's a cat who knows no boundaries such as cat flaps, just comes home to sleep. He is a soppy woos who backs down from everything, had him since 3 months old.Attachments

We've been away for four days. The cat is ecstatic to have us back- purring and rubbing himself all over us, he is now asleep across my legs with one paw stretched up to my stomach, so I can't move even the tiniest bit. If I try to, he starts purring again, but also sticks his claws through the duvet so I know who is boss

Do you need someone to bring you supplies? Water? Food? When did you last move?

I am now feeding my kittens the third lot of 'good quality' kitten food I've got them. They prefer the cheap kebab of kitten food and are turning their noses up at this one too.
They generally seem to be much more excited by the idea of food than they do the reality. Wish that were also true for me

Woken up by a cat stomping up the bed at 3am the other morning. Stuck out a hand in the dark to stroke it, and realised it wasn't actually our cat When I got out of bed, it jumped in in my place. 
Now quite sorry it didn't come back last night because it was nice

I buy the own brand food from Lidl, S/bury, Waitrose - whereever I happen to do my shopping. I bulk this up with fresh mince (cooked), hardboiled eggs, oat flakes, peas, broccoli, and/or whatever we had for our meal (as long as it is not too salty). I also buy sardines (with tomato sauce or oil) and mix that up with any of the above. I cannot afford/be bothered to give them just homemade stuff (as my crazy friend from Germany does with her dogs; however, she would breathe organic air only - if it was available
) so I think this way is better than nothing. They also get kibble - they love it and it cleans their teeth.Woken up by a cat stomping up the bed at 3am the other morning. Stuck out a hand in the dark to stroke it, and realised it wasn't actually our cat

That is brilliant! In one episode of The Hoarder Next Door a woman goes behind her settee to, finally, tidy up and exclaims: 'Ooh there is a cat hiding behind. ... ... Oh, it's not one of mine!'

Sorry - they do not need the oat flakes, peas, broccoli, or anything from your plate.
Cats are obligate carnivores and do not need that in their diet. Meat and a small amount of eggs is a natural diet for them.

True, they may not need it but hover it up, have shiny-shiny coats and healthy dumps
, and I am happy to continue with it.I took the oatflake thing from advice about feeding elderly cats when my previous girl cat was quite old.

Possibly because she (like many elderly cats) had reduced kidney function and needed to be on a low-protein diet?True, they may not need it but hover it up, have shiny-shiny coats and healthy dumps

Oats are NOT a healthy food for young healthy cats.

No; not really.
Anyway; time for lunch and to get my nutrition! This may or may not include oatflakes.

I think you're being an idiot - you are going to rehome these kittens already set up for a lifetime of IBS and massive vet bills to their owners.No; not really.

Cats are carnivores, feed them meat.
Also why do you even have kittens, is neuter clinic too expensive (I do appreciate that accidents happen, but even so you should feed the offspring appropriately) but in most countries there are charities that will do it for very little cost.
Bloody fuck, it's like common sense went out the window and I'm here just banging my head against a brick wall.

I don't have kittens. They are between 12 and 18 months old. Can we have a dialogue instead of insults?

Sure, when you start to feed your cats appropriate food. The ball is in your court.

No, it is not. This is too antagonistic and unnecessary for my liking. I wish you well but let's not engage any further on this.

Cool, that's fine by me - I will continue thinking that you are a bit of a wally and you will continue thinking that I am an overbearing old hag
I can live with that, worse has been said about me. But: CATS DO NOT EAT OATS.

I gave the kittens some bits of the turkey leg I was stripping last night. One loved it, the other was a bit confused. He is really thick though. They also turned down tuna which my last cats would have bitten my arm off for.
Bubbles will eat absolutely anything and will drink the milk in the foal's cereal bowl if I don't clear it away fast enough, crusts, bits of pizza and anything else he finds unguarded. I'm sporting a hole in my finger where I dropped the foil the turkey was wrapped in and didn't retrieve it fast enough

Epona , what meat do you recommend?
Thus far, I've been giving Marjorie dry food only, it's Asda's Tiger brand which claims to be a 'complete' food. She seems to like it ok, and also seems to have healthy digestion, but I'm just wondering whether I should be supplementing her food with wet meaty stuff.
