    Sorry to hear that you have had such a frightening time at work. I hope that you are ok, and Colin is giving you lots of cuddles and cat licks.

    Oh dear Piq - please keep safe at work! :eek:
    Umm, not sure whether to suggest this, but if there's any danger of a confrontation I have been reliably informed that a can of spray deodorant aimed at an assailant's [STRIKE]face[/STRIKE] eyes [in particular the one named after a big cat] is an effective "back off!" deterrent** while waiting for Boys in Blue to appear - push the button don't chuck the can!

    Cuddles for Colin - CD sympathises; she hates being given the same menu every day (have you tried Lid!'s cat food? Both pouches of meat and kibble seem to be good quality).

    **ETA: Stings like !!!! but no permanent damage, I was told..

    Poor you Piq. That sounds dreadful and at work too. I hope he's "known" so the police know who he is and where he lives and he knows they know.

    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....
    there must be something in the air as my young kitty has decided cheese and any food that humans are eating are preferable to lovely tuna/chicken/turkey in jelly. he loves all dairy
