The old boy Chester and I enjoying the warmth of a fire.

Sad to say the old boy went for the great catnap in the sky yesterday.
We came home and put away the blanket and food bowls which was very sad. Waking up to a house without a cat in it was very strange this morning as any cat owner will tell you, they won't let you get on with your day until they're fed.
Already looking at the cats protection league website to adopt another friend.
That's shame but I'm sure he had a long and happy innings. After mine went the bowls stayed for about 6 months, couldn't bring myself to clear them away.
Thats sad, I feel for you Rich. Still miss my old friends over the years. However the Cats Protection is a good idea, might help to soften the blow a little and there's always a moggy in need of some love and warmth there.
All the best

Sorry to hear that Rich. Mine died a few years ago now and wasnt replaced. I had her for over 20 years and had few complaints. Difficult to look after an animal now so dont have one.
Thanks guys.
Just come back in from the local animal refuge where we've been meeting some new friends. Found a timid pair of tortoise shell cats who looked like they'd enjoy it here and a black and grey pair who were also very charming.
Gonna sleep on it and make a decision tomorrow.
Condolences. A cat is member of the family and a friend.
Since losing both our old boys in the space of a year, Mrs B and I decided we wouldn't allow ourselves to get used to used to life without cats in the house and resolved to share our digs with a couple more hard luck cases immediately. So, say hello to Alfie and Rocco (their shelter names) who are currently readjusting to life on the outside having been behind bars since they arrived in the shelter in November.

Both are 2 years old and very close, the black one is male and the grey a female. He's totally chilled and loving life in the warm. She's hyper and enjoying stretching her legs around her new place. There's been too much grief and sadness and shite for too long round here. Time that changed.
Nice one... dive straight in... Alfie and rocco both look the business.
This is Mia's impersonation of a wooly mammoth....

Nice one Rich ;)
I think Mia thinks she's looking in a mirror

I know a couple of people whose cats like to watch wildlife docs, one leaves the telly on the Animal Planet channel for him when she is out at work.
I think the cats assume that these large screen tellys are just another window to look out of.

It's amazing how good they are at admin although Mia likes to take the odd nap during work hours......

Whats the Tat Grant , MUFC :D
Border terrier... still got her winter coat. Due to be stripped out next month. They are working dogs really but have fantastic temperaments. Great with kids etc. Although they love to be out running all day, they can be happy indoors a lot too.
This is Shawn. Same breed but a boy. Alas died of diabetes, but shows you what they look like stripped

Looks a sweet little dog. My pooch and I bumped into a couple of small terriers yesterday. He never knows what to make of them, 'cos they run around him fast and he's about five times the size and pretty placid (unless the doorbell goes :)).
They are softies really, but have their tough side. Brave as a lion and sneaky t'boot. Shawn used to beat up big Alsatians...he went for the groin lol. Fast of foot and massive stamina too. Run all day.
Took a couple of clips of the pooch today and the other day whilst walking the local green bit. He's a good lad. Damn big for a Collie cross!

I just hope these clips load OK. :)

Whippet?? What are you saying Grant? :eek: (:D) He weighs eighty pounds mate. More large Doberman for size. He's got a hell of a set of teeth on him too.
lol, no, i thought you had said there was whippet in there before... must have been someone else.
Very short cli

Cheeky Soxx the stray that has been living with us for three years now having been abandoned at a house near to where we used to live
The woman that had him as a kitten decided to move house and just leave him. He was around two at the time
He started watching Sue my other half doing the gardening and I noticed he was very thin so I fed him Whiska's pouches
That was that
We have been in a new house for the past year but we didn't abandon him, he came with us. Naturally he is very clingy and insecure
We absolutely adore him
lovely cat.
Any more pictures of him? He looks to be in great form.
My last cat had the same thing happen, the 'owner' just moved and left him and the neighbour's ( a friend's mother) dog brought him in half starved. When she died he came to live with me as her family were going to have him put to sleep. He was very clingy at first, used to sulk when I went out to work, but once he got settled and used to my routines he was fine and had a happy last few years.

Once they are familiar with you they have no problem telling you off if things are not to their liking. I had a cat door put in for mine so he had freedom of movement whilst I was out. That seemed to stop his sulks, I suppose because he could go out and find other cats for company. He would always be waiting for me when I got in though. First thing I would do is light the fire whilst he would sit behind me on the coffee table whacking me on the back with his paw because of course my first priority should be to feed him, the fire lighting should have been a secondary task.
My lass just gave me a dirty look followed by the cold shoulder for an hr or so...typical woman.....til she wanted summat, then was all loveydovey :eyebrows:
Sitting here, listening to Joni and Orange.fr decided to join me. Don't know how he can sleep through Joni! Maybe one ear is open along with the inevitable one eye.
Please forgive the bare knee, haven't dressed yet.

She got called cheche, but real name was pebbles. My little lass. Been gone a while now. Good cat and lived for 22 years
Yeah sadly we live in a rented house so cat doors are out of the question. We are at home a lot of the time though as I am kind of semi retired these days and he gets to go out when he wants to. It's just if we go for a drive around for a few hours he lets us know when we get back. He is also making his mark on the new territory with the other cats. Also, he always wants Sue and I to be there together for him not separately. He has now gone through the biting and scratching stage but he is just so vocal all of the time. He and I have the most amazing conversations in which I am sure he fully understands me even though I don't him.
When I play music he sits and listens on the arm of the chair but only if it is Eno-esque ambient stuff. Anything raucous and he mooches away somewhere else. I dare not play vinyl with him in the room though however, he does know that that room is not his...! He understands the word NO.
