Yup, you should definitely do this, moisture and electricity are a great combination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Had to make the tough decision this morning to say goodbye to the younger of my 2 female cats, Sky. She was nearly 13, always very active and kept me and the older one, Sophie, on our toes but started becoming lethargic and not eating as much. Vet diagnosed her with hyperthyroidism a couple of weeks ago and I started giving her the tablets daily but her breathing was very laboured and she stopped eating and hardly moved from the same spot in a corner of the bedroom the past few days. Wrestled with my conscience all day yesterday but when the vet saw her this morning we both agreed it was best to put her to sleep. Going to miss her so much, she was so gentle and had the smoothest coat you could imagine. Sleep tight my wee princess x 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleep tight my wee princess x She's like a female version of the Smudger, don't get too down about it, 13 is a good age for a cat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Got the wee man off to bed for his nap then thought I would catch up on a bit of my Christmas book. Within two minutes the other little lad appears to ruin it. What's so infuriating is that when they do it you just know that it's not even comfy... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could never work out if it was purely to annoy me or just because cats like the sensation of sitting on paper. Regardless, he's very cute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think it's just the fact that they know you are giving the book more attention than them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Commiserations, as usual, to those whose cats have died. It's shite. At our house, old man Poof has discovered the joys of cuddling under the covers since winter kicked in. Last few days I've woken up to his wee face poking out from under the covers, and he woke me up this morning by cleaning my chest hair with his tongue. I'm wearing a shirt to bed tonight - I just don't think I can give him the kind of relationship that he seems to want from me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudger won't attack anything bigger than a sparrow, he'll have a square go with another cat, but a blackbird sized bird is too big. Thank you.

Shandon Par Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 He gave it a good go but in the end it was like King Kong, with him swiping at them balanced on top of the fence. He's getting a wee bit harder in general and has started biting us all when the mood takes him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
