    Does anyone know what you can give a cat with really bad wind?

    Bananas?

    OK, if you like Amazon reviews...... try THESE for Wenlock the Olympic figure, dressed as a policeman. I HOPE they are all joking ........:eek:. Funniest line I found was:
    "The G4S figure ordered months ago hasn't turned up, but thank you very much for the soldier, sailor and airman figures I got instead." :rotfl:

    thanks lovlies,

    Had a new woman to see at the JC the morning, seemed more human . . told her my story and she was actually crying with laughter and called a couple of other members of staff over to hear the tale !!

    As I had made hr laugh I then asked about re-imbursment for petrol and they did it there and then . . the benefits of an amusing story and someone willing to listen . .

    Reading some of the stories on her really cheers me up and knowing there are so many of us sucessful ladies making the most that life throws at us is inspiring . .

    MM

    PS any ideas how to hide the friction burns on my knees for a wedding tomorrow . . :):)

    'Are you sure you can take the pain?' she demanded, brandishing her new stilettos. 'Yes,' I gulped.'OK,' she said and showed me the receipt.:rotfl:

    Try feeding the cat aloe vera juice. The farts will get worse initially, but then all will be happy in the Piq household.

    PM me if you want a free sample ...

    p.s. It is best to drink Aloe Vera like it is a tequilla slammer, but the cat probably doesn't have experience of the salt and lemon ... nor the paw skills to purrfect the procedure :)

    p.p.s It is fortunate I only drink water while working on t'puter :):):) ... and I haven't even had chance to look at the Amazon reviews!!!

    Ah you so need to read the Amazon reviews, you'll find yourself looking at men in coffee shops and wondering....

    The cat's wind seems to has gone, thank goodness. He must have eaten some random junk or small creature outside. If getting a tablet down him is anything to judge him by, I'd have no hope on an aloe vera slammer, even with his paws tied together!
