Took this this morning, she's jumped onto the shelves that have the Christmas tree in front of them so don't know what she's going to think when the trees there blocking her way.

 

[boohbah]

did you say "fek off the shelve"
it works you know, just put your shoes out of her reach and its all good.

 

[Joan Archer]

I've put the tree there now but not put any decs on it yet, she's been asleep on my office chair most of the afternoon then went out so hasn't actually seen it yet.

I think she's seen it but she wont come into the room at the moment so I don't know if it's because she's seen the tree or she's keeping out of my reach because I Frontlined both cats this morning and they usually tend to fall out with me for a bit.

 

[boohbah]

mines the same, you would think we were putting hydrochloric acid on them the way they react ,
i have to hide the bloomin worming tablets in cheese, i snap the tab in two and roll it into a little ball of cheese then the cat eats it without realising ive conned it into taking its meds. hahahaa

before i used to snap it in two the cat sussed me and kept chewing the cheese and droping the tablet out , at £8 a pill i was determined she was having it,
she ended up down the sleeve of a jacket and jaws prised open .
the looks she gave me for a day.
then danny came home and she was all pally again as she needed rescuing from the knight with the plastic sword hahahaha!

 

[Joan Archer]

Oh yes the wormers, mind you it's not quite as bad now with the ones the Vet gives us, they are smaller and easier to give. We used to give them Drontal but now they have Milbemax every 3 months.

I know it's not cheap, them and the Frontline every month for our 2, luckily our Vet is good and they usually have an offer on the Frontline when you buy a box of 6.

 

[Britton30]

Joan you might look online for Frontline products, over here they are much cheaper than the vet's. The US has petmeds.com and maybe the UK has a similar one.

our vet is very expensive ,but as they are only 300 yards from our house it is handy .
i considered online tablets and fronline but there are some pretty dodgy sites out there and the sell by dates are often almost up which is why they sell cheap.
i like the security of feeling like the cat is sorted out with the best stuff and that it will keep,

 

[Joan Archer]

The thing is with online buying you still have to get a vet to sign a form so you can buy them, well ones I've seen do. My vet is good though and not the most expensive around here so at least I know they get the best and you don't have to sell your soul to pay for them.

I think its the smell Cats dont like Joan

Did you know that a cat's sense of smell is fourteen times stronger than a human's? That is because its total nasal organ is comparatively larger than that of a human. Cats depend on their sense of smell for their very survival; in fact it could be said that a cat's nose is its most important organ. A cat uses scent to sniff out food, mates, enemies, and to seek out his own territory, which he has previously marked. It is easy then to see that the world of a cat is the world of scents and odors

Is that the one that was on the television the other week Julian, if yes I've seen it and it was very interesting.

Sadly; one of my parents 2 cats(well our family's too) passed on last weekend and im still saddened over it. He was a member of the family like most people's pets are; and its been very hard for me to let go of. I loved him. I get choked up just thinking about it and ive been a mess over it and will be for awhile yet.

I fully understand, it takes time. I get choked up over a beloved cat, Data, I lost over 5 years ago. My condolences my friend.

 

[Joan Archer]

So sorry to hear that, I miss mine when they go and it's even more upsetting at the moment as Willow has gone missing, I haven't seen her since about 8 o'clock last night so I'm a bit upset at the moment.

 

[Britton30]

Hope she's OK Joan.

probably,
they tracked the villages cats and had sat links to see the cats activity from the sensors on the collars.
really good programe
what was interesting was the idea that cats time share their territory so they go out at a certain time as thats their allocated time slot .

i have a picture of a bunch of cats having a meeting deciding who gets what slot like the cat council.
