    morning Piq just laughed my head of at Bear antics, as I walked round to my mum's last night and stopped of at the local shop and there was a picture of 'my' cat sat on some one else's settee looking rather smug with a 'does this cat belong to you?' he's very friendly apparently!! I have been pointing out to oh that he's been smelling of coal fires recently (cat not boyfriend) !!!

  • Well I go away for a while and all sorts happen!! Love the story of the underpants and the falcon. Was laughing so much was crying
    My teenager has been trying to get to the girlies ( 3 in season and poor Dane he's going cross eyed) so to give him break took him to kennels. He's been there a few times but this time the owners were away . Well he REALY didnt like the guy that was there. So bad I had to settle him in. Absolutely fine wen went to get him the next day
    Poor boy

    DMP too much ( need to find out how much ) :eek:
    That's it
  • Meant to add my cat story
    We lived in a small village when I was at school. We owned a ginger Tomcat and the village had a few pigeon fanciers. Our cat had 3 pigeons in one week . He would appear walking on tiptoes dragging the poor dead bird underneath him and take refuge under the car to eat it. If we went near you would have thought he was a doggie with the growls. Once he finished the evidence was buried
    A few days later and the guy 2 doors down was seen fixing his coop - the cats local takeaway me thinks

  • No the cat had gourmet meals for 3 days we were worried they were his prize winning birds ( which can b worth lots ) so we kept shtum We were worried at the time that he would end up being shot during his escapades. Once coop was fixed his take away days were over lol

    As far as cat's can belong to you I guess Byron is mine ...he's lived with me for 12 years since he was six weeks old and has so far driven out two other cats who on invite moved in !

    I have now put shiny new collar and new id disc on the afore mentioned feline and given him a squirt of perfume so others know he's taken!!!! and that has a significant other: ME!!!! My OH works away but i don't worry about him straying the same thankfully :/

    I nearly lost an arm trying to put a collar on the Bear....it was a lovely tartan one...He has been micro-chipped instead!

    I just love the picture of your cat in a photo on someone else's sofa, pleased as punch, what the betting he'd conned them out of a meal moments before the photo....

    I have applied online for JSA. The form said it would take an hour to complete, I did it in 15 minutes, I hope I haven't done it incorrectly. I chose the online option as it saves one trip to the job centre. I now have to wait for someone to call me to set up an appointment.

    I feel quite despondent. I know it is the right thing to do and all that, but I feel a level of failure. No matter how many jobs I apply for, I rarely get a response.

    Still, onwards and upwards...A cup of coffee and I'm going to start writing my first assignment, all notes are ready. All I have to do is put the first word on the virtual piece of blank paper.
