    sounds like you are certainly a slave to The Bear but then that means you're not different to the rest of us who are owened by cats. Glad he's home safely even if it was to freak you out by sitting in the bath, i bet he had spent a lot of time whilst at the vets scheming that unique form of punishment. I'll also be that all the cats sit there compairing the people they own and the tricks that they've played on them.

    I took a photo. He's just sitting in the bath staring at the overflow :rotfl: Definitely tripping I think!

    I like the idea of them comparing their slaves. I wonder who suggested he hold out for homemade tuna pate :rotfl:

    He's very quiet today, but far more like himself. By the time he goes for his checkup on Monday I'm certain he'll be back to his rodent murdering self!

    Its true of course that cats have staff and please don't be embarassed at spoiling him a bit or I might have to start boring you all with tales of the ridiculous lengths we've gone to in spoiling our various poorly cats in the past ;)... Sounds like Bear is hallucinating - maybe he is seeing things coming out of the overflow :eek:. Poor boy.

    Hope he's better tomorrow and you have a good weekend and hear good news about some work at the stables.

    The Bear is out the bath and seems back to normal. How will I wean him off tuna pate with antibiotics? :rotfl:

    I've done the housework and made some bread. There's vegetable drawer soup on the hob and once that's cooked I'll be off to see the Captain armed with a mountain of carrots!

    Man pet has man flu so I'll probably be hanging round the diary board this evening.

    See you later!

    Also transferred my money out of paypal from ebaying - £250.00 which covers the Bear's vet fees. I'm going to list some more later. It's free listing if you use the ebay app. I'll give it go. It can only go horribly wrong!

    I might get some work down at the stables next week, I'll find out over the weekend - fingers crossed please.

    Its free listing without the app too ............if it all goes wrong;)

    Catching up on B's health and well being. Glad to read all is well:) Hmmmm staring at the overflow - one of ours did that once and we discovered a rodent in the pipe:eek:

    Fingers crossed and all that for stable work

    I dreamt you were walking through my house with a plate of tuna last night, looking for some mayo :rotfl:. Oh, and you had sweetcorn with it :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
