He lost his unrelated 'Sister' back in February and he's missing her big time. When I lived in America, we had a cat and a bunny who lived in the house. We were a bit concerned that we might have trouble with the cat seeing the rabbit as prey, but they absolutely loved each other. When we moved back here, all the pets had to go through quarantine for six months, but there was (is?) only one facility that handled rodents, and they had a 60%+ mortality rate, so we figured we had to return the bunny to the breeder we got him from. I've never seen an animal mourn like that; he was absolutely heartbroken, and I got the blame. Never forgave me for it. Still makes me tear up thinking about it, and it was twenty fucking years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's spent several hours this evening absolutely rapt to a playlist of chemistry videos, occasionally getting up for a closer look before settling down on me again. Do any other P&Bers have cats with an interest in science? I showed mine one about Schrodinger's theory. He was both horrified and fascinated at the same time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours has a particular interest in the structural properties of various soft furnishing fabrics around the house, regularly testing them to destruction for research purposes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly the efficient removal of the gall bladder of various small animals, (whilst also adding in the magical disappearance of said small animal). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Not had a photo of this boy up for a while. He's 15 now and had 13 teeth out last summer followed by a bout of e-coli which has affected his kidney function. Still knows what's what when he needs a servant though. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) I'd completely forgotten that the CPL gave us a fridge magnet of my wee madam, the beard knitter, until I discovered it amongst some paperwork the other day. Eight (or so) years ago, and five minutes ago: Edit: think I could've taken Smudger back when he was that age. Doesn't look quite so handy there.

Thank you. I was aboard the Unicorn in Dundee yesterday when a cat that looks extremely similar to Smudger (but apparently called Diego) caught a sparrow and decided to munch the head off of it right front of the ticket desk. Blood all over the deck. Marvellous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Our cat has finally had her outdoor jabs and can finally go outside. I say finally, she's 3 years old and has never been allowed before, but since getting her we were adamant she would get the chance. So far so good, she's curious when we leave the door open and will go outside, but I doubt she'll ever venture too far as she's still a scared little thing, probably dating back to before we rehomed her. Still it's nice not having to worry about the door being closed for the summer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 My two wee girls are at the vet today getting their teeth and gums cleaned. Need to be asleep for it apparently so it's an empty flat WFH. Last night was a nightmare though, they weren't allowed food after 6 and they meowed throughout the night, felt like a total c**t not feeding them. One of them has a little inflamation of the gums so it's for the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably needed to get this done, but the age of him, and the stress it would cause, I decided against it, all the fangs are gone, and he's just got molars left now.

Cost me 500 for them both, including doing a blood test just to check them for anything unseen. Worth every cent though. Including the 2nd sleepless night ahead when we're not allowed to feed them I'm already going to give in around 2am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
