WOW ;D a house full ;D Beautiful cats ;D

I have 2 dogs and a large tropical fish tank (well that's my hubbys). I used to have a cat & a dog (sky) before I met him but scrappy (rescued) who we chose together who is now about 8yrs made my cat who was a miserable sod anyway decided to move out and live with a man a few doors away from me (he's a miserable sod too...lol) so they are made for each other. I think he was feeding her for quite some time as he's lonely.

I will see if I can find pics of them and post them later

Lovely Puddies!! We have a rescue Border Collie, Milly, she is coming up 18 months, she's been with us about 9 months, she still has a few little 'issues' (she does not like young men ~ 13 to early 20's ) though adores my son (21) most of the other little problems are diminishing, with a lot of patience n 'ohhhhhhhhhh Milly!!' lol She was terrified of shadows (you know how many shadows there are in a house?? lol) but now if she starts to bark and get stressed we call her round to what is making the shadow (anything from tin foil makin flashes on the ceiling to sunlight) and show her whats causing it, its working, slowly. She is definately MY doggy (it was me that went all the way to Wales to collect her from the rescue centre) she totally loves me and she obeys me beautifully (most of the time) she loves everyone else too, but I just get that little bit extra Then there is Lily, our guinea pig, she must be coming up for three years old, she lives indoors (cant be having her outside, its like fox world round here! besides, she likes living inside, she can hear when we go to the fridge and calls out for celery n tomatoes! She also calls out for food if you open any cupboards (she is just sooooo greedy lol, but at least she gets plenty of fruit n veggies) Last but certainly not least is Princess Alice our hamster, she will be one this summer, Alice is a little madam! She comes to the cage side when you call her, she is never grouchy if she gets woken up, her cage is on top of Lily's (poor Lily must be kept awake all night by 'er upstairs!') But if you pick her up, she nips! But its not a vicious nip its a greedy for food nip, but it blinkin hurts all the same lol. She adores plums, celery, tiny bits of bacon and the odd morsel of choccy biccie! I havent any pics of any of my furry kids, they were all on my old pc, but will try and take some to add at a later date. The other day one of the kids said 'mum Alice is changing colour, she has black markings' on closer inspection the little minx had been chewing the black bars of her cage and had the paint all over her fur, she looked a bit like a tiny racoon with a mask on lol.

Hey Nice to talk 'bout the pets.... I have a 8 yearold Lurcher called Nipa, a 12 year old Lab cross called Connie and three cats......... Neko (Japanese for cat) she's a tortie with attitute and probably no soul......... she's a real meanie! lol

Then there's Seth who's black and a total honey-cake and then ' Tanis a real lovely tabby
tortie the most friendly cat I've ever had.


I think we may have aquired another cat lately tho..... and enormous wild tabby tomcat... who belongs to no-one... I checked with all my neighbours they dont recognise him But evry night he turns up for tea with the others! I'm calling him Hendrix,,,,,,,,,,

im so sad
i had to let my ginger cat go today to the cats protection
we have had louie for two years he was from a litter of kittens rescued by my moms neighbour
but the last 6 months he has changed and now we have the kittens he's got worst.
my two neighbours are always moaning at me because he goes into erics house and wont come out and upsets the other neighbours dogs now he has turned nasty to me and rich i really didnt know what to do for the best as its really taking its toll on me and making me ill . so i managed to get him in at the local adoption centre i thought he may be better off being on his own with some old lady fussing to his every needs . i am so upset and hope iv done the kindest thing for him .

Oh Hannah, that must have been heart-breaking for you. Cats are mysteries, aren't they? If he was being horrible to you AND the neighbours and you were at the end of your tether, then surely you've done the right thing, and hopefully he'll find a place he will settle into soon.

Love Jo

AWWwww Hannah... that's so sad.... But you know it's probably the best thing for you all....
I hope he finds a place to settle in.

love claud xx

My mum and Dad have a Border Collie dog called Moss and he's 9 years old. He is so lovely but really dopey. He still thinks he's still a puppy bouncing all over the place. When I feel sad :'(all have to do is look at his face and everything feels better.

Luv,

Suzzy
