    I could never leave my beloved cat. The downside of going away on holiday was leaving her at the cattery where she was spoiled rotten. At least I believed that they would know when she was't well and look after her appropiately.

    I'm sure that she will give you a cuddle no matter how late you arrive home.

    Try it with three cats like me, love em all, worry about em all the time (was a forth but she got run over :( )

    Anyhow, with regards to feeding I made a t!t of myself last week, just picked the tin out the cupboard to feed em and i wasnt with it, emptied the contents and carried on. Only when they turned their noses up at it, did I realise I had given them pasta shells in tomato sauce !!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hi
    I used to look after cats in their own homes while their owners were away and to be honest, non of them seemed to give a monkeys!
    Dogs were very different, but cats!

    That's why I like cats. I can't bear it if people around me are too needy and dogs are like that, all needy and demanding.

    My cat, on the other hand, just comes to me when she feels like it, which makes it more special (and it happens a lot cos she luvs me!)

    Congtats on the work Skintchick. How's the decision on staying at home or with brother going? I'd say follow your feelings. You've been feeling fragile so do what you know will make you feel secure.

    I've had an interview today, first in years so feeling exhausted and have to cook soon for 5, including the 2 foreign students I've taken in since MSE took over too much of my time!

    I like to pick my cat's scabs too!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    You will know when you have made the right decision, coz a great big weight will be lifted from your shoulders - Do you have a wireless laptop, coz then you could log on and chat to us on your train journeys? :D

    Good luck with the job and hope you enjoy yourself. :smiley:

    good luck with the work .and I think you have made the correct choice Skintchick... I love my own bed and will not stay away unless we really really have to and I have my three cats to think about...and yes I pick their scabs too (well only the middle one as she is prone to them - thats her in my avatar)

    Just bought my weekly train ticket - £79!!! But I used my Egg card cos they said if I spend more than £50 on it before the end of the month they'll give me a tenner back, so that helps.
