    Oh no, How terrible. Whatever kind of world are we living in? More and more I see myself as wanting to be a hermit.

    Hope that Colin is comforting you.

    Colin has decided to go vegetarian, he is refusing to eat his cat food and wants to eat cheese:wall: I am in a stand-off situation. I'm refusing to give him cheese and just leaving the bowl of cat food down in the kitchen until he gives in once he's truly hungry. It does mean that he is currently trying to sit on my head to attract my attention though....

    That does NOT sound good :eek:.

    Take care and make sure your safety is of utmost importance Xx

    I'm being very careful. Real life stalkers are not funny at all.

    Oh - I thought that dogs could go veggie but that cats *needed* meat. Shudder at the the thought of the source though!!!! Could you tempt him with some pat! or tuna. Okay - I know that tuna is fish!!!

    One of my cats would only eat fishy meals . . . . . . unless it was a meaty one puked by the other one! Sorry - that is gross so I hope you weren't eating!

    Take good care Piq, pleased that the police are taking things seriously.
    Hold firm with Colin - use him as a headwarmer perhaps in the meantime?
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
  • Piq - I'm sorry to hear that you have been going through such an experience. I too hope that the Police are treating the issue with the utmost seriousness and that the matter is resolved as soon as possible, leaving you to continue to enjoy your life in a relaxed manner.

    Wishing you all the best.

  • Piq - That sounds absolutely dreadful. I believe you often work late and solo. Good to hear the police are helping, but do take care of yourself.

    Hope everything is sorted soon with no more stress for you. Glad you've got police support

    Wonder if Colin has some sort of vitamin, nutrient deficiency. Hope he's just being Colin :)
