Thanks guys,
He is a bit happier as he's been cuddled all afternoon. Any excuse just to sit...had the music on of course:)
One very unhappy Orange.fr:(
he came in last night, had his dinner as normal and then settled in his usual place on the sofa. Suddenly noticed he was shaking. Bit of a shock to see half the flesh on his leg exposed, obviously a bit of delayed shock.
Straight to the vet and he was kept in overnight. Good thing I had just sold the REL as the bill used up most of the sale price:eek:
He is going to be a bit upset with the collar, watching him trying to back away from it is rather funny. Poor old lad, a couple of weeks at least until the stitches come out. He won't be going out either which will frustrate him hugely.
Sigh. Not a happy camper.

We had this gorgeous creature for all of 4 days.... last week...She is a greyhound cross.. and she had the most loving nature.. she just wanted kisses and cuddles all the time... a really lovely doggy..
When we got her home the original owner wanted her back as she missed her too much.... we consider that we have been blessed to have had her for the short time we did.. quite a remarkable dog indeed...
The owner was going to take a job in London which meant she would not have time for both the dog and her young children... she then decided that was not a good idea and didn't take the job and wanted Lola back so we had no choice but to return her... she made quite an impression on us !!

Northern Inuit.
The wiki temperament description is almost totally inaccurate , this other description in my case is 100% accurate although he doesn't dig much at all.
Some Pros and Cons of This Dog Breed
Pros
This dog breed is very friendly, affectionate and loyal.
They are good with kids.
They are docile.
They get along well with other pets, especially dogs.
They are intelligent and easily trained, particularly as pups.
Cons
These dogs are prone to extreme separation anxiety; they are a poor choice for those who spend long hours away from home.
Although docile, they tend to be highly rambunctious.
They are inveterate diggers, and are not a good choice for those with prized gardens or lawns.

The cats just knackered; obviously a busy morning! Either that or that part of the sofa's been in the sun, he's a lazy arse and can't resist a pre-warmed bed!

Second car we've lost in 6 months and I though we lived in a reasonably quiet area which would be safe for the cats...

Tiddles, a great friend of my late Mum, many friends, passers by, and me, unexpectedly died last Saturday. She was about 10 years old, I guess she had a coughing fit and could not breath. She very occasionally had these coughing fits, and I would massage her tummy/ chest and that would ease it.
I found her in Mum's bedroom, curled up on a chair. She was buried in the garden, quite a few friends were present. We celebrated her life with a bottle of Moet that I had been saving for Mum's 105th birthday. Mum got close to 103.
Tiddles will be sorely missed.

Thank you Grant, yes, I expected another few years, Mum's last cat got to 17. Sorry to hear that your cat suffered the same way.
Tiddles was cute, but a lot bigger than obvious in the photo. Sometime she would be sitting on Mum's lap and Mum would say:- " She's too heavy, take her off".

We are fostering a lovely little lurcher... more Whippet than anything else I reckon... She is a little love and so friendly and is always wagging her tail... We have only had her a couple of days but she is settling in remarkably well....here she is on the beach...

She came with the name Georgie but she doesn' t respond to that name at all.... and as she has the markings of a Tigger that's what we are calling her... or Tiggy or even Tigs.. and she responds better to those names .... :D
We took he into Pets At Home today, to buy a couple of things for her, and all she wanted to do was to make friends with everyone and every dog in there.... the friendliest dog I have ever known... a big softy

She is very naughty though.... she steals everything unless you put it well out of her way... she's only 10 months old though so I guess still a puppy really...
She was with her owner, who unfortunatly died, and that's why she became available for fostering... :(
Its a not uncommon problem, especially with younger dogs. When out make sure everything is out of reach. When your there, try and get her to bring the found article to you and give a treat for it. She will be finding all your lost things in no time:)

Probably best to cover the number plate of your tractor in the pic, there are too many nefarious oiks around :steam:
reminds me of a bloke I used to know who decided it was a waste of money buying meat in the shop so decided to go out into the countryside and rustle a cow.
The plan was simple. He had a van and a sledgehammer. Bash cow on head, drag dead cow into van, drive back to town.
So he waits for the middle of the night and then drives out to a field with some cows in it. He gets the sledgehammer, goes up to the nearest cow and bashes it on the forehead with all his force (and he was a big bloke). The cow just looked at him, went ' moooo!' and then wandered off. So he gave it up.
drag dead cow to van..ha! f××kin idiot....hes he any idea how heavy they are?
lol.
He may have been accompanied by an accomplice to aid with the dragging, I don't recall all the details now.
Same bloke once had a fight with Billy Idol. Sparked him out. Said he lost his job over it, but it was worth it.

Alfie hasn't been well lately. He's an old boy with hyperthyroidism which means he eats constantly and gets skinny so we've got him on daily meds. Not worth getting him operated on at that age but he's a character . A streetwise ex stray who charmed us and quickly became the boss of all the cats on this manor.
Long may he reign.

Sorry, but I should have read through this thread first :mental: :mental: I've now got to get the first aid kit out......don't know if anyone else has had problems trying to get a cat into a cardboard box against it's will :( :( I think I'll wrap it in bubble wrap before I try again!! Mind the missus ain't too pleased as I've been threatening to get rid of her cat for some time now............However, posting is no longer an option :eek: :eek:
The trick is to place the box on the floor and leave it alone. Eventually the cat's insatiable curiosity will mean it has to investigate the inside, and then you have it. :)

I posted my cat but she's not been received by anyone yet! This a week ago.. Shall I call up Royal Mail to chase up the delivery? I'm not sure if I used the right stamps though cos she kept moving on the weighing scales.
It's peak season for posting cats. I'd give it a few more days...
That pet bed is really cool.

He'd been my little pal for 14 years. You get very attached to them. The house is emptier without him. At this rate I expect it won't be long before another hard luck case finds its way to our door though. R
Sad to hear rich. Lost mine a few years ago after 22 years service. Ive not replaced her.
At this rate I expect it won't be long before another hard luck case finds its way to our door though...
Best way to deal with it, mate. When we lose one of ours, the first thing we do is go along to the local Cat Protection League and get another wee moggie. Helps us deal with the loss, and most importantly, gives a much needed home to another stray kitten :)
Marco.
Thanks fellas. I was just clearing some pics and stuff from my phone and found a bunch of him. Mrs B saw them and we're off again with the grief. I've had cats n dogs since I was a kid and this never gets any easier does it.
There's still Chester the ancient ginger tabby to love so after sharing his home for so long I'm going to let him enjoy being king of the hill for the rest of his days before we bring in another. However if one should happen to turn up...
Sorry about Alfie mate, 14 years is a long time.
Assuming he turned up on your doorstep one day?
If so, he had a good innings. :)

Thanks Gaz. Yeah we adopted the other one when we bought our first flat. I was living at my mums for a while and a ginger stray tabby turned up. We moved in and installed a catflap and Alfie came in. We asked all the neighbours who he belonged to and whilst they had all been feeding him nobody knew. He'd been living in someone's shed and compost heap. Winter came and we neutered him so he stayed. He was charming and a real boss of the street. Fiercely territorial but a softy too.
Cats pick their owners, its not the other way around. :)

I could not have another cat after loosing Lucky a few years ago. Just cannot go thru loosing another Pussy
I know what you mean, but for me the joy they give you for the duration of their lives, far outweighs the sadness you feel when they're gone. And you'll always have the happy memories, and hopefully some nice pictures to remind you of that :)
You can't go through life shielding yourself from grief, at the expense of experiencing affection and love, with animals or people, as that will ultimately lead to sadness and a sense of non-fulfilment.

Alfie sure was a handsome cat
I gave a friend 2 cats ( brothers ) 3 years ago but look after them for a month once a year. Its amazing how quickly you get attached to cats , they are wonderful , spiritual creatures.
This is Mia, sometimes placid and sometimes like some evil dervish. She gets rather too interested in the expensive whirly thing that in her mind I spend far too much time with, paws off young lady!. She is however allowed to choose CDs to listen to.

Well said Marco.
I know its hard loosing any animal, I had a dog for about 8 years and was in bits when he couldn't go on any longer and we had to have him PTS. Id grown up with dogs as a kid but he was very much "my dog", id adopted him from a rescue and
he was my first real pet as an adult living initially on my own and then with my now wife.
As hard as his death was I know he had a great life with me and he was a joy to have around. I couldn't be without a dog around the house and after a bit of time we decided it was time to start a new adventure with a doggie mate :D

And so we now live with Bruce a slightly elderly STB. He was left tied to a rescue centre gate one night covered in bites. We've had him almost 4 years now, he's got a touch of arthritis and last year he had a crutiate operation which he's recovered from well thankfully. He's a lovely mutt.

Lost my Tiddles almost a year ago, she died in her sleep, still upset, but she provided joy to many people including passers by. Afer a few years here where she favoured the back garden, she then favoured the front garden and the attention and love of so many. On telling a couple of neighbours about her sad death, they cried.

Yes, a year later I'm still finding little bits of fur from Tiddles, she was buried in the back garden, my friend dug the grave. Several people at the funeral, after we enjoyed a bottle of Moet.
The previous Tiddles died in winter too, must have been something like 30 years ago. Frozen ground, I had a terrible job digging the grave

Aye its hard enough in good weather. Only had one good hip at time. They are a big miss, cats and dogs. She was the boss of the street when younger, and had a bit of the Persian in her hence that coat. Sure youve plenty memories of tiddles 1 & 2 to keep them alive for ever... Pics do help.

He's lovely, and such a great, characterful face. On a different note I had the 2M set up professionally as I just couldn't get it right, it is singing very sweetly now, I've changed the tonearm cable as well and that made a huge improvement.

Hi Ian,
Yeah he's a character all right, he's not particularly friendly with other dogs (which isn't surprising given where he came from) but hes great with the cat and just a big old softy with people.
Beautiful cat. Looks very alert.
That's because she thinks she's getting royalties for the photos

This is still though the kitchen window. She's not as close as it looks. I don't use the zoom, take ordinary view and crop it. Seems to work better like this.

Think I should re-phrase that, massive head!
Yes, could be female. I've never put a collar on a cat. I worry about them getting it caught up in something. And it can chafe around the neck. Plus it ruins their 'look' as well :)
spendorman
12-07-2016, 17:27
I always have put a flee collar on, they usually have an elasticated bit so that they can escape!
I don't mind the look of a collar, usually get red or blue. When Tiddles died, I took it off to keep it. Neighbours around when she was buried in the garden, Moet afterwards. Think I've said this before.

The vet told me flea collars are rubbish - these days you get some little ampule that you push into the back of the neck. Doesn't hurt the cat although I used to do it when he was eating and distracted so not to upset him.

Well used flee collars for decades, never had flees, the cat neither!
Also show people that the cat probably belongs to someone, and they are often reflective, can help.
I tried to look at it from the cat's point of view and concluded that he would prefer not to wear a collar. But then I am off my rocker.

You can get ultra sonic repellers for cats.. My one can be set for cats and has a long mains lead. You can set it up and if you see the one you dont want flick switch.. It goes away and you can leave it off for the good one. It will get the message and not come back. Some are quite sophisticated.
Mine is in loft for birds. Has reduced the problem although it would be more use if i could use all the other bits. Probably needing a new one. There is a setting for different animals you wish to target

My cat was not much smaller than him but he used to sleep on a window ledge three inches across. And then fall off. He would also sleep on my bed at night, back to back with me. That was disconcerting the first time in happened. I woke up in the middle of the night aware that someone was lying right up against me. Since I live alone this was a real WTF! moment. As I say, he was a big cat and it really felt like a person was next to me.

Yes, know what you mean, the late Tiddles was a big cat, loved to sleep on my bed, sometimes with her head on my hand. Miss her.
My cat used to fall off the upstairs window ledge a lot. she fell asleep and moved then a bang as she hit the coal bunker's metal roof. 10 foot drop but it didnt seem to phase her much.

They always fall on their feet!
They do look embarrassed if they know you have seen them. They are quite complex creatures, more so than they are commonly given credit for.
Back in 1990 I was living in a house with 5 mates and one got a kitten. Little thing, perfectly marked with black and green tiger stripes, she looked like she was wearing a Vietnam era Special Forces camo suit. I used to play fight with her and we would chase each other around the house (which was large) and jump out from doorways and that. The cat would actually initiate this game by whacking me on the leg while I was watching telly or something and then running off. Used to go up the curtains too, that would have us in stitches.
Years later when I visited my friend she still remembered me and sat with me the whole time I was there.

That only a multimeter temporarily connected, one can just see it hanging down. It's actually a convenient place for the tyre, doesn't seem to get hot there. Renault engine in the Volvo, not bad actually.

Yes, most things suffered if Tiddles sat on them.
We had an intruder in the kitchen, big black cat, came through the cat flap to eat Tiddles food.
There was a bit of an argument, big black cat decided to go out the cat flap.
Halfway out, Tiddles attacked, clever Tiddles.
Big black cat never came in again!

Been following this thread for a while and you guys have some good looking cats.
How do you put pictures up though?
My cats got it's own Instagram (wife's idea ) but thought I'd show some here too
Put them on photobucket or imageshack, copy the img link and paste it into your post.

She's a Turkish Angora, just happened to move in about 2 years ago and settled in very quickly so we kept her. Was my in laws till they realised it was a longhair and couldn't keep cleaning after it.

Just found the USB lead for my cheap Fuji camera, been lost for about two years. Hiding on the internal memory which is only accessible using the lead were a few pictures taken before Tiddles died. I was putting together Rogers BBC LS3/6 from bits and pieces collected over about 10 years.
Terrible quality, but the content is OK.

Wonderful creatures. I miss my cat a lot.
Old boy Chester. Properly ancient, completely deaf, arthritic and now diagnosed with kidney disease. He seems content enough though, spends most of his days in the box by the radiator. Won't eat the special diet from the vets so basically gets whatever he'll eat, usually fish and chicken. Spoilt rotten as we don't know how long he has left. As long as he seems comfortable we're letting him see out his days in warmth and comfort.
