Allie is an indoor cat and as we have an open plan downstairs, she ends up in our room whilst babs visits. Food and facilities are provided for her whilst locked away. How/when do we introduce the two to each other? Do any of you have experience of this?? Trevor As soon as possible.I have been told that when I was of that age and size our cat Blackie took it upon himself to be my guard and sentinel.He would stay put next to my given scratcher at all times I was unattended. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 This cat 'gets a piece at every door' as they say up here, but of late it has adopted us. It has taken a liking to the chainsaw sculpture of the Highland cow and her calf,presumably to ensure he is seen from the kitchen. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Enter Sacoche! First day at home back in july, barely two month old. Abandonned by her mother a few days after she was born, but then another female took care of her. Edited October 31, 2018 by Antoine 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince1159 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 We all know cats aren't the brightest bulbs in the shop but why on earth,when they fall off a window sill whilst asleep and land on a coffee table do they jump back up and go back to sleep (just happened to mine)... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The workings of the feline mind are a closed book to mere humans. Merry's favourite spot for watching the world go by is the right hand corner of our livingroom windowsill. She could jump straight into that corner without any difficulty but, of course, that's far too simple. She always jumps up to the left hand side then to get from left to right she has to make a second jump over the top of the large pot plant sitting in the middle of the windowsill. So far she has always cleared it (just) but luck will run out one day. Strange things cats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I think quite a few of us have a black fleece with a white fur lining! SWMBO re-arranged our livingroom and my favourite armchair has moved and I'm now saddled with a couch. This morning as usual whilst having coffee and toast and watching the news.the old boy (Sukhoi aged 20) padded in and jumped on to my knee where he did his usual turning about bit to get comfy. He rolled over to find that there was no longer an arm to stop him. The dirty look he gave me was something to behold. He found a sunbeam on the stairs and has slowly been going up a step as the sun moved round. Better entertainment than the TV. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 A sad day today - my Henry, whose ginger features have been displayed on these pages on several occasions, had to be put down this morning. He's been less than 100% for a while, with arthritis, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism and dementia, but the vet's been able to keep him comfortable. However, in the last few days he's been eating copiously but losing weight, which the vet says suggests he had a form of lymphoma, and the decision was made that he should be spared any more trauma. He had a good innings, though - he was almost 19. I will miss him ... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
