Well it's snowing heavy outside. We are supposed to be going up to Lochinver tomorrow but not if it's bad.

It's cold.

Alfie - it's like me but with cats on your settee.

The screaming creature could be a young rabbit - boy do they scream when being snaflled. My cats used tocatch them. I thought it was a small child being murdered at frst.

I always thought hedgehogs were supposed to be good for the garden because they eat slugs or something. I guess not so good for farmers/smallholders hey?

Oh well, time for bed for me, going to have an early night.

Night all,

Ginger Biscuit who used to visit me at the caravan used to chase the rabbits. He mostly ate them underneath the caravan - it was really grisly. He would start at the ears and eat downwards, and just leave the tail. :eek: The noises they made were really awful, but the thing that really used to get me was the sound of bone crunching. :eek:

Couple of times he brought rabbits into the caravan, once I was able to free the young un, the other time it ran behind the gas fire and I had to get one of the neighbours to help get it out.

Still miss dear Ginger when we go to the caravan, he was a real darling cat, except to rabbits of course!

Hi Poo, yes they do eat slugs, and also beetles and other insects. We're very happy to see the hedgehog in our garden - we hope it's survived the cold winter.

Choille, they don't sick up, they use saliva to clean themselves, it's more a case of spit up! So not really any worse than cats washing themselves.

last night there was weird noises coming from the wood in front of my house ! sort of screams x whines ?? not foxes, not hedgehog, not an owl....?? do deer make those noises? never heard that before..
i nearly set off into the wood incase an animal in trouble, but whistled loudly instead and it stopped...so deduced that an injured animal wouldnt give a monkeys if i whistled yankee doodle dandy so obviously something else.... any ideas??

Deer certainly do make screams and often a bark type noise. You hear them from miles away and they can be very loud. Sounds a bit more like a vixen to me.
