I couldn't get my petsitter who is also a groomer, so off to Petsmart we went yesterday. It was fairly cheap to de-mat and clip his claws - $21. The groomer just described him a "wiggly". I've tried combing his mats out and he tried to bite me. I watched, and the key seems to just be quick...

Is Baa, baa, black sheep racist? A small boy of about 10 was riding around outside my house on his bike singing it -don't ask me why. He did it so much I was almost up to tell him to stop because he was getting on my nerves. I was surprised to have an Asian neighbour come out and tell him it's...

the prey noise. It was a vole (deceased) and he threw it all over the kitchen and played with it, practicing his techniques "this is how you catch a vole and this is how to catch it in the air." Luckily it was dead at the time. Kitty taught him the killing bite. Now he's just eaten it and is...

It was 30C today, I stayed in until I had to water the veggie plot at 8 pm and although Boyfie likes the heat he decided to stay in too, and he's just gone up to his bedroom deciding even going out during the night is far too hot for comfort. I have a Galileo thermometer and for the first time I...

Little Feet is upset with me. I had raw fish (herring in sour cream sauce) and braunschweiger (liverwurst), and he insisted on having a share of each. So I put a bit of each on a saucer. He claims I only offered him the poisonous parts that are not FOOD, and I should offer him the good parts...

Here's a nice story about two kittens loose in a New York subway and the 2-hour rescue effort that caused the subway line to be shut down (the link says 45 minutes but the article says 2 hours). They are now safe. This story reminds me of Theresa because her cat, Stinky, was also found in a New...

Went to TED's yesterday. Both passed their physical exam with flying colours. Alison the vet says Boyfie's teeth are exceptional for his age. We took some pics on Claire's camera.. the vet was happy for us to do it and was amused that Boyfie has an online following. Boyfie came out of his box...

I just had occasion to look at my old quilting page (hasn't been updated for years). There are some pictures of our cats in it, as they're inspecting the work in progress. I particularly like the one of Muriel: http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/Quilts/Muriel-Frogs.jpg When you got that look from...

spazzie was hiding and not eating for two days. I took her to the vet today (it took me an hour to catch her) and she got an antibiotic shot and a supply of pills. She ate a little bit this evening and I hope I can hide the pills in the Fancy Feast tomorrow.

I've been out since 7.30 a.m. on a coach trip and didn't get back until 9.30 pm which missed his 3.45 (must have at that time) teatime by nearly 6 hours. He was waiting for me reproachfully, scarfed down his late meal and disappeared into the garden in a huff. Tweed

It's 9.40 pm and Boyfie is hunkered over his ceramic dish staring hopefully into it for his 10 pm sprinkle of dry food. He gets his wet food in a stainless steel dish and his dry in the ceramic one. He knows very well what he's doing but I'm studiously ignoring him. If he gets it early, it will...

I think I told you all a while ago about how he was dug up right next to my ex-workplace recently, having been killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The problem is that my home town want to rebury him in Leicester Cathedral (for tourism purposes I suppose) and the city of York want him...

It's raining and miserable for furry critters. So I opened the front door to see where Miss Emily and Butterscotch were. In front of my door, curled up into a big, furry ball, were four raccoon kits. Very carefully, I went back inside and grabbed a handful of cat food, then very carefully...

Apache has been very resistant to being picked up, cuddled or lap time. She does enjoy teasing me with hr tail from under the desk, and is rewarded with skritches and, when she comes out from under the desk, tummy rubs. Today, she was pawing at the chair, and actually climbed up in the chair...
