I havent posted for a while but have been skipping looking at the fab pictures and reading the stories. I know you are lovely people and like me animal lovers so I thought I would share this with you. In 1990 we got a tiny cross bred siamese/alley cat (his mum got out naughty girl! ) Anyway we took him home, funny little thing, he looked a bit like a bat with his pointy ears and face. My boys loved him but when they went near him, as tiny as he was, he spat and went for them. So between them they came up with the name Beefy Boy . He was a little nightmare, got up to so much mischief, he hid in bedside drawers, climbed net curtains, tore the furniture to pieces, stole food off your plate and generally caused chaos! We would regularly find dead animals under the kitchen table that he brought home. Anyway it is now 2012, he is still with us although the boys have all now married. He is deaf, he has arthritis (DH has put a ramp from the back door to the garden to make his life easier) and the sight of a bird in the back garden now confuses him. He is very fussy what he will eat but at the moment likes the Iams Senior as a side dish . We know he wont last forever and it will rip our hearts out when he goes, but what a lovely long life he has had :j. Thanks for reading.....Maz

Aww, what a lovely post. :smileyhea

I especially love the bit about the ramp for the back door. :T Things like this show how thoughtful you are and how much you love him to make his life more comfortable in his old age. :A I hope you have many more lovely years together. x

My mum & dad have a little old rescue cat who has been "20" the past few years.;) She is tiny and fragile and sleeps most of the day, but she loves cutching up on my mums lap and purrs like a trooper.

:rotfl:They adore him. Fourp usually sleeps with 2 asleep on him at night. I use get used as their springboard which does cause a moment of awakeness

Ah much warmer than a duvet. :rotfl:
I am a springboard too, but mainly as I am closest to the window. Quite a powerful kick for such little things haven't they?- well not so little now with all the Iams. :rotfl:

You'd not say that if you saw me with my quarter of vanilla fudge on holiday, I stuck my face into the bag and didn't surface until there wasn't a crumb left, I felt so sick

I love fudge - the proper home made type stuff, not the rubbish you buy in the supermarkets. I have roly's pantry just five minutes away and their fudge is to die for - now you have mentioned it i am just going to have to go and get some :D:D

If I fancy a savoury snack I have tubs of seeds I munch on, or I open a tin of chickpeas drain them, pop them into a pan and dry fry until crispy with some paprika yummy

Ooooh, they sound interesting, and they'd be free on SW! :j

Yup I know I disappeared for the last week. But I have a great excuse.....and he's sleeping upstairs in his cot.

Zac Edward was born on 14th September at 12:48am weighing 6lbs 13oz. Labour was amazingly fast. Medically it was only 1 hour. But it was only 4 hours between waters going and having my little man in my arms.

Was kept in so long because of some medical concerns, but am home at last and all is going well.

Once again I didn't expect the birth for a good few weeks....and then he decides to come early. I will sort a pic out....but for now they're all on my camera and I have things all over the place.

Note: If someone would kindly fill me in on the current glitches I'd be very grateful. I'd imagine I have hundreds of posts to try and get through.

Welcome back and congratulations on the birth of you little boy :T
