Must try harder!

My next door but one neighbour came round to check our cat was ours (if you see what I mean). Our cat had been spending a fair bit of time in her garden flirting with her male cat 😆 She said she is a crazy cat lady and wondered if our cat was a stray. Keep your mitts off mrs 🤣

That was kind of her. I worry about cats too...

Good of her to check before stealing SA. Years ago we had someone knock at the door asking if we had seen her cat. When she saw our cat being kept in for a few days she freaked saying he was HERS and she had had him two years! I not so calmly told her he was most definitely ours we had had him since a kitten FOUR years ago and would she like to see his vet paperwork. She eventually buggared off. Needless to say she had attempted to steal him without checking if he had a home. He was microchipped immediately and every cat since. 
I never feed cats but would take one to vet to check for microchip if it looked like it needed a meal

Good morning and happy Friday ☕️📚🍫
Loving the cat stories. They are a worry! Mine are house cats, so they can’t go and select another home 😁 I know someone who ended up with someone else’s cat because the cat decided. He lived over the road, but was always sneaking in and trying to spend the night because he didn’t like his sisters. In the end after years of him being a time share and taken home and/or collected at the end of the day, his owner asked if they’d keep him. They tried everything to discourage visits for a while, but he was determined. He spent the last half of his life in the home he’d selected and never once went into his old house when no one was making him 😬 The ones we have fed are always lost or feral and clearly in need of help, apart from the one terrorist who always eats outside and goes home full, but disgusted with us 😁. 

In other news MrWW gifted me a creme egg last night, I left it on my nightstand. This morning he woke me in a snit at 6am because he’d trod on it with his boots on! It must have rolled off in the night, but obviously he thought I’d booby trapped the floor for him 🙄. Ah well, easy come, easy go 😭
I hope you all have fabulous Fridays filled with all good things 🌈🪄📚🍫☕️

We had a kitten (around 5 months old) pop out of our wheelie bin one morning years ago, (dodgy lid and he’d pushed it aside).  We popped a pouch of food down, gave him a stroke and left him to it.  A few days later he arrived at our daughters window at the back of the house (very long line of terraces with access at either end and we were in the middle).  He cried to come in (1st floor window) so she let him in.  And that was that. He lived with us like he’d chosen us.  He went out but always came back, we had him checked at the vets, put signs up, notes through doors but no one claimed him so he stayed. We had him chipped and neutered and he was the most loving cat.  I always worried that someone was missing him but he’d obviously made up his mind we were the better hosts.

we moved a couple of years later and he was well known in the village for cat flap raids, especially if they had a dog, he loved to torment a dog.  He tried attacking a huskie that was walking past the house, luckily my Dad was just getting out the car and saw it happen and managed to intervene… a few days later he went tearing out the cat flap after a horse, he had ideas of grandeur.  When he died he left such a huge hole.  He arrived at a really naff time in our life and was just the tonic we needed.

Morning! The image of a creme egg crushed into the carpet 😱, a sad waste! 

 8yo tested positive last night so no school for her for a few days. She's absolutely thrilled 🤣 Her dad is having her today. Just about to LF to check I can go to school.

Slept with the electric blanket on all night last night - it's currently 10 degrees in my bedroom and the heatings been on half an hour! 🥶

Omg a creme egg crushed into the carpet and not ones knashers! I sincerely hope it wasn't one of those half and half eggs the TV adds are going on about

@Jellytotts he sounded perfect. When I was growing up we had one I had to apologise for a lot. He once stole chicken off someone’s worktop 🤣
@elbree I can understand your 8yo’s glee. It’s freezing here too. I gave in and ordered heating oil as I’m not sure it’ll last til February. £316 ☹️ And £45 more than it was in October 😮 So my months savings have taken a hit, but will be made back up on pay day. I had £200 in the pot. Hopefully over summer I’ll catch up so the pot is fully funded.
@moving_forward it was a bog standard one, but I still cried at its passing 😭

Morning all
So glad it's Friday !  i got home at 9.15pm WW I hope Mr WW takes off his boots to avoid future accidents in the bedroom and i hope he replaces your creme egg.  I now want one even though i haven't yet had breakfast
My cats go outside and the smaller one has gone missing on at least 2 occasions in the past; it was horrible.  Now they are older they don't venture far and spend most of the day snoozing in comfort indoors, love them
