I just went downstairs to fetch the washing in from the line (and how nice to be able to dry it outside!), and passed four cats snoozing peacefully in the living room; Mustrum was up here in the study.
I can’t tell you how nice it was, as last evening we were worried enough about Henry [...]
Ron and Henry were conveyed to the vet today, to be neutered. As is the way of things these days, this can no longer be done at the little surgery in Hotwells; instead, we had to drag them all the way over to Zetland Road for 8-8.30 a.m. The traffic in our village is appalling [...]
Pete and I were reading in bed last night, and there was a sort of scrabbling from under the bed. Kittins do scrabble, of course, but there seemed somehow to be a more concentrated aspect to this than usual.
So Pete got out and had a look. And found a rat. Dead, thankfully, but not for [...]
It was only to tell them that their next worming treatment was due, and I have the pills here to do it (I expect it will hurt – us, not them).
But I bet they wouldn’t have told us if I hadn’ t picked up the post …
Mustrum used to have an unfortunate tendency to, er, press his affections on our late and much lamented Moo. Although she wasn’t keen, she never stopped him, and he has never really come to understand that he’s been neutered.
He appears to have transferred his affections to Henry now, who seems equally submissive, if a tad [...]
We caught Ron this morning, spraying the door curtain. From the smell of it, it’s not the first time.
So the curtain is in the washing machine, and Ron and Henry are booked in for the snip on 3rd March.
We decided to let Ron and Henry out into the garden yesterday – it’s been getting more and more difficult for us to get in and out, as they were so anxious to make their acquaintance with the great outdoors.
Interestingly, Henry (who seems far more mature and sensible than his twin brother) was quite cautious, [...]
We have a rather whizzy shower curtain, with all the elements listed on it. It’s not hugely expensive in the scheme of things, but we’ve only had it a few months, and I’d like it to last a bit longer yet, thankyouverymuch.
So this morning, I was not amused to find Ron and Henry in the [...]
Henry and Ron grow by the day, and their exploits know no bounds. Ron is still the runty one, so it took him about two weeks longer than Henry to work out how to get on to the kitchen worktops; as this is where we have been putting the big cats’ meals, there is an [...]
I just went into the living room, to find Henry seemingly fast asleep on the turntable (which is catcam #6, for those who are interested), and Ron seemingly fast asleep on the back of the sofa.
So who, I wonder, was responsible for the veritable ocean of tissues which had been removed from the empty box? [...]
