    Ok.

    I'll do a cat smell share...and you have to bare in mind my cat is now called Asbo (for a reason) and isn't too impressed with people...and mum doesn't have an understanding of animals.

    Wind back to last night. Cat oddly stressed (odd woman in house as cat is quite unsociable I thought was the reason), pacing, but really pacing. Goes up to mum and 'pumps' at her!. I have never heard my cat pump......Ever. Only turns out mum keeps going round my house shutting all doors and had locked cat away from any litter trays!!

    Mum has also brought the family quilt for me to have which is lovely, but is horrified that 'cat' is allowed to be on it, we'll wasn't so much as allowed but just helped herself to it....'cat' doesn't have a name with mum...which is so funny, as cat stares at mum like she's an alien....
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.

    Seriously....




    You have no idea how funny.



    'cat' is now in normal position on end of sofa and about to go for her if she moves.....lol. I'm looking at my cat right now and I think that we have a mutual idea that ear defenders and mechanical restraints wouldn't or shouldn't be illegal.

    You have to love her, but Jesus she is bat-crazy at times. I'm hanging on with a thread so is cat, I love her to bits really. Does the snowball come in intravenous form?

    Right, i'm off to bed, but i thought i'd post this for a giggle for anyone who clocks in tomorrow in case I don't.

    Mother has stolen tv remote and gone to bed.(she actually stole it hours ago)......lol.

    'cat' is under her bed and awaiting a quilt opportunity to happen.

    Mum will shut bedroom door (as she does them all) and cat will at some point want out.

    Will post back later what happens when 'cat' tries to get out.....its normally something like I have a weird cat and why does she do that scenario....and do you have a plaster or bandage..lol.



    Happy xmas again all.

  • Cats...can't live with or without them. :eek:

    Calico - hope yours manages a Houdini from the sealed room without bloodshed.

    LB - Such a brilliant picture of you surrounded by a stench so fetid it was almost visible at simultaneously both the right and the wrong time. Bless your old chap. Distraction therapy at its best.

    And for those with or without miscreant felines, have a very Happy Christmas.

    LavenderBees and thread followers, I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful Christmas!
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
  • Thanks HollyBerry and Whitewing.

    Happy Christmas to everyone.:rudolf:

    I've had fab chasing games with youngest cat, had a huge breakfast and am going to get ready to go to Newcastle. Wish me luck!!

    Have a lovely day. :xmassmile

    LB xx
