  • How adorable. I fear you are doomed to be ruled by an iron paw. Who could say no to those eyes?
  • How gorgeous and innocent looking @Climacus. You'd never believe there was a destructive bone in that body!

    Cassie and Lyra were supposed to be going to the cattery today, but I accidentally set the cat flap to “in only” instead of “locked” and Lyra hooked a claw under the edge, squeezed out and ran off. So I guess I will have to drop them off promptly at 9am tomorrow and hope not to be late for church (I’m preaching). I was hoping to clean the house and pack ready to leave on Sunday afternoon without the cats around.

    I will be bringing them in early this evening if at all possible, and checking the cat flap is at the correct setting!

    When I had the GD pups lots of them were toy destroyers. I kept stuffies for playing with them and put the toy away when unsupervised. All but one grew out of it. 🙂🐾

    Our Westie had to have non-digestible items surgically removed from his insides*. This is not something he appears to have learnt from. His understanding of what constitutes “food“ is very (sometimes disgustingly) catholic. We just have to keep a close eye on him, although on the whole he doesn’t destroy things around the house.

    (*Thank goodness for insurance which covered the four figure cost of this operation.)
  • Good grief @BroJames that's a big bill and glad you had insurance.

    This week Monet the fluffy has been off his food. He seems to go through periods of fussy eating and rejecting what has up to date been his favourite. Fortunately yesterday at the shops I found a very appropriately branded type of new food to try Fussy Cat. Thank goodness he has eaten one sachet yesterday and one today. It mightn't be a permanent solution, but If I have 3 different varieties on the go, surely one will be a go-er.

    Perhaps if you swap them round every so often, he won't notice that the "new" one is actually the "old" one he had three months (or whatever) ago?

    Our Elizabeth used to have a favourite food, and reject everything else, until one day (usually the day after we had bought a large multi-pack of the current favourite) she would start refusing it. We'd try a couple of other brands and she'd be very keen on one. So we'd feed her that until one day (usually the day after we had bought a large multi-pack of the current favourite) she would start refusing it. Rinse. Repeat.

    We cycled through three brands on rotation.
