    - amount pent on human food = £0

    Somethings not right somewhere. x

    ..when every item on the supermarket conveyer belt intended for human consumption is either 2-for-1, yellow stickered or Value. The cat food however is the premium full price variety.

    Most of my yellow sticker stuff is for the animlas :( They eat a thousand times better than I do.

    On a Sunday they get all the meat left overs from the resturant I work it. So they often have a mix of chicken, gammon & steak to name but a few

    I can second that, cat food delivery from Ocad* £66. Just for p*ts £84 (okay it is at least a month's supply) Sainsbury's for us £33.
    I was off to conquer the world but I got distracted by something sparkly :D

    Hi
    I know I am a cat slave because I give up my (warmed ) chair for the cats just because they sit there and stare at me.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    I have a throw that covers the back of the sofa and is tucked in the seat cushions. Jessie likes to burrow under the throw to sleep, like in a mini cave. She sneaks in when I get up to do something in the evening, so when I get back, I can't sit in my spot anymore. Do I move her? Do I heck.
    I spend the rest of the evening sitting precariously on the edge of the sofa so as not to crush her. Sigh...

    Oh, and I'm sure you are all familiar with the other kind of bedroom acrobatics...When the cat is peacefully asleep in the middle of the bed, and you carefully manoeuvre yourself into awkward positions to get under the covers without waking her. Or you need to get up for a pee and have to launch a leg over the cat and onto the floor, nearly tearing a thigh muscle, while clinging to the bedboard for support. :cool:

    One of my cat's favourite nests is the wicker chair I use at the computer.If I'm at the computer and she wants to sleep on the chair,she usually sits in front of me and puts her front paws on one of the armrests.It's her way of saying 'budge'.In winter I have a mohair throw that she settles on,then I cover her over with it,so it's quite tight.She loves being 'swaddled'.

    When I go to bed,she likes to lie on my legs to sleep but in a particular way.If I lie on my back and bend one leg horizontally and place the foot of the bent lag against my knee,with the duvet over me,it makes a little 'nest'.Wee cat likes to curl up in this nest.Sometimes I go to sleep in this position and in the morning she's still there and I haven't moved.

    Just a well I don't get cramps easily.:rotfl::rotfl:
