You know what they say about "The Mark of Zorro..."
Just give him loads of fuss and re-assurance to make him feel important still, despite the demanding? newcomer..

I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

The missus and me had an orange tabby once. Best we ever had; so mellow and laid back. Yet, he would play fetch and would eat popcorn with us while watching a movie. "Broadway", not as in NYC, though. We got him from a lady in front of "Broadway Liquors". He hid his drinking problem from us pretty well. Miss the guy.Originally Posted by Marco
Enjoy your new addition!!
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Apologies for digging this thread up from the dusty archives, but I had to tell someone!
This evening, Mrs B. and I are going to our local Blue Cross animal rescue centre for a "re-homing interview". If all goes well, Polly and Pippin, who are a pair of 16 week old kittens, will be coming home with us on Sunday!
Apologies for lack of pictures at the moment - we were so busy playing with them when we met them last weekend, we forgot to take any!

Ahhh Adam I hope you get them both and I look forward to seeing a pic of them. We have a 9 month old kitten called Co-co and she is just the business. We absolutely love her to bits. She was the runt from a litter of 5 and her mum was sadly killed when they were 3 weeks old. Each one was hand reared by my friend and I and they all survived. The first person Co-co saw was me, so she really believe I'm her mum lololololol. She is not afraid of anyone which is a little worrying, but she is afraid of cars which I am glad about. In fact all 4 of my cats are scared of cars thankfully, so none of them go near any main roads. Not that we have any major busy roads near were we live. I hope you get them and that they bring you lots of pleasure. Your vinyl will be taking a back seat because of the serious competition

Update:
Pippin wouldn't leave his wound from being neutered alone and so he has been kept in longer to make sure this healed - he was also made to wear the 'collar of shame' to keep him away from it! Collection was re-scheduled for tommorrow.
However, about an hour ago I had a phone call from the centre to say that his scar is now infected, he's on antibiotics and so he won't be released until he's seen the vet next Tuesday.
Add this to my impressively bloodshot left eye which has appeared from nowhere, plus our lovely Siemens Porsche kettle that I dropped and broke last night and it's not been a good couple of days!
