Well it's all been quiet on the Derek front TOUCH WOOD so not much to report, other than he's just the most lovely cat I could ever imagine.

Here he is asleep on the bed

have you got more confident with him going out now Martin?

martin2345uk

Yes... He comes and goes as he pleases all day and I usually lock the flap about 8-9.

Having said that... He's out right now as he seemed suddenly desperate to get into the garden... Hmmm, can't say I like it him being out in the dark!

First time ever going to bed while he's still out there, this is not a nice feeling at all

I hate it if the cats are out when I go to bed. I normally call them in about 9pm, but just occasionally one of them decides she doesn't want to come in.

martin2345uk

Well he came back at about 3 and jumped on the bed :-)

Will be more careful from now on!!

Glad he's home safe

I wondered how you were getting on with him !

Ah he is on the bed now eh? Knew it wouldn't take long ! lol

Just wait until he starts jumping up and down on you at X o'clock in the morning screaming ''Dad I want me brekkie'' ! lol

Don't worry about the 100mph run into the house, full of drama and angst from you. It is his way of saying 'Tada' I am back ! She does it all the time, usually with a moth in her mouth too. It is when he comes darting in with a high pitch howl that you need to worry, he may have been in a fight.

3 am is not bad, he has been out with his mates, eyeing up all the Gurlies and having a smoke around the back of the garages , most likely !:rotfl:

Long time no speak, but to me no news is definitely good news as it means I've not been worrying my guts up every five minutes...!!

Couple of quick pics of him stalking along the neighbours' fence...



And looking rather fetching...



Love being a cat owner! Well, a cat helper at least...
