My wife thinks I work too hard
I am looking after my friend's cat while she moves house.
I have never owned a cat. So far he has kept us awake all night because he couldnt go out, bitten me and the kids and he just pissed all over mr p's limited edition vinyl singles. (He is going to be furious.)
He has 2 litter trays btw- and he looked me in the eye while he did it.
When my friend asks whether he has been good, i think i am going to have to lie, arent i?
It's a good job he's cute.

Lol, Dylan is good as gold with us. Rarely scratches furniture or carpet, stays downstairs at night without a peep, never wees or poos anywhere but his litter tray and outside. A couple of years ago my sister looked after him while we went on holiday for a couple of weeks. She never gave us full details but it was clear he was such a little shit with her that we know never to ask her to do that again!!!

(((Epona))) hopefully it's nothing or if it's something, easily treated x
Yes, hated taking Dylan for his boosters and check up, and couldn't go in with him. They didn't ask any questions about how he was so I wonder how thorough the check up could be really.
RIP Pops

O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.
Thank you all for your kind words. I couldn't really say anything yesterday as I was too upset.
Pops developed a lump under her tongue, which turned out to be the most aggressive cancer that cats can get. She couldn't eat properly, her mouth was almost constantly bleeding and she couldn't close her mouth at all. The vet told me that they couldn't operate, as the lump had gone down her throat and even a specialist couldn't have gotten to it. After a very tearful discussion, we made the decision to put her to sleep, to save her from more suffering.
We all sat out in the garden for the afternoon, before taking her. She was on my lap with my partner holding her paw. I'm not going to lie, I think everybody in the vets heard us crying.
She was with me for 15 years and I held her in one hand when I picked her up all those years ago. She's been in my finance's life for 6 years and he couldn't hold back the tears either. She was beautiful, affectionate, always there when you felt a bit blue giving you kisses and her timing had us in stitches on many occasion.
Working from home this past year, her sitting on her chair in the kitchen with me, it's going to be hard to adjust to her not being around.
Anyway, I have lovely memories with her and will continue to come here for my cat fix ❤

Despite behaving all haughty and incensed at the intrusion when Mrs Fish brings her wee dog around, She livens-up considerably afterwards and spent much of yesterday and most of this morning determinedly guarding and re-scenting his "favourite" tussock, waiting to see if he is coming back!

You sure you haven't got a wild bobcat there? She's gorgeous, really looks like original wild cat type deal, stunning!

Mate that's awful. I (and others here) know exactly what you are going through and wish you all the best. A sudden terminal diagnosis is utterly heartbreaking and you just feel so utterly helpless. I don't think the shock and pain ever really go completely, they just over time feel a little less sharp around the edges of them, if that makes sense.
Be good to yourself and to one another and have a cry if you need to. Love to you all xx

She would be she softest/sweetest most home/people-loving little wildcat you'd ever seen then..!
My last cat BD had possibly some of the signs of being a "Kellas cat" - which is some degree of a domestic/wildcat crossbreed. Notably his size, "alpha-cat" temperament and willingness to take-on anything, prodigious hunting abilities and particularly the amount of guard hairs running through his fur - Wildcats and their close relations have a much larger number compared to domestic cats - and being black, it was easy to see them all!

One of the things that is notable about your lovely cat is that her tail is what would be referred to as a "stumpy" in terms of bobcats - it is a bit shorter than usual cats but not a full bobtail and the tail seems to be a bit thicker at the end - which would in bobcat terms indicate that she was heterozygous for the bobtail gene.

He is looking a bit pissed off there, I do love a good cat photo where the cat is like "ok, fuck this"
Gorgeous cat!

Thanks ,lucky to get a picture of him looking at the camera. that's why he's pissed off
.I've had to look at this picture twice and then tilt my screen before concluding that you haven't dyed an orange smiley face on a black cat

I've just ordered some feliway plug ins. Ozzie's fastidious grooming has gone into the over grooming territory and her rump has got to the stage where you can see skin because she's taken all the fur off.
Nothing on the skin that we can see, no reaction whe stroking her there and she's fleaed up (although she hates it so much she's still jumpy and grumpy with us from doing it on wednesday).
We'll see how the feliway goes for a few weeks before thinking about a vets visit.

seeformiles - Vastra dives under the sofa when she has mad half hours, it's hilarious because she's such a big lump of a thing and it really doesn't seem like she should fit under there. I guess it's cats being a liquid and all that....

My Radar used to go under the sofa and then lie on his back and pull himself along around the edges of it upside down going like the clappers, really fast and just zooming around the bottom of it doing 45 degree angle turns upside down when he got to each corner - that cat was just so full of life and mischief!.

I am more concerned about the clothing on the chair, this sort of thing happens here sometimes thanks to my husband and sometimes it looks like something has shed its skin in the middle of the room and pissed off to hibernate somewhere for a bit.
