Post Your Pets

Get a cat, they prefer cardboard boxes.
You have to buy an expensive cat first though - only then will the cat decide that it likes the cardboard box.

conveniently there's a banana there to help you out.

Or is it a plantain, and an ipad?

Bananas vary in size, despite the best offices of the damnable EU

We go to Andrew Kirby’s Vets in Bermondsey. They're very caring and good.
These guys are great (they're the same as the vet on Lower Road too).

I may be biased, however, as I have a little bit of a crush on one of the vets.

Unfortunately, I'm running out of excuses to go there. Next week, I'm having one of the cats vaccinated for vertigo.

You can take my kitten in if you want?

She needs her shots, so that's two visits needed

She's very cute

Ha! You can take my animals in if you like?

I think we can probably keep TW2 in Saturday vets visits for the foreseable.

Tesla really does need her shots

Mine are going to need the snippety snip soon.

Sorted. TW2, you can pick Tesla up at 10 on Saturday.

Is Tesla going out yet? Has Higgs returned?

I've now introduced the existing dog and cat to the kittens.

The cat has done a lot of crying and some hissing but is basically quite curious about them and keeps coming to investigate. We are trying to keep her territory free from mini invaders until she is used to them.

The dog has avoided eye contact and has been so gentle with them, but then, she only really cares about her stomach anyway - she's already managed to clean out their food bowls a couple of times.

Meanwhile the kittens are busy all day playing and sleeping, playing and sleeping, etc....

TW2 has a new career as a catwalk model.

Thanks for all the advise on the last page, here are my cats;

Wasn't there a website called 'Stuff On My Cat'?

EDIT: http://stuffonmycat.com/

Food on my dog is a favourite of mine.. Mainly because he sort of looks like Dino.

Higgs is still very much the author of her own misfortune.

When she is outside she is as friendly as she ever was- and she will exhibit the same behaviour in the flat.

Right up until she spots Tesla, at which point if you try stroke her she'll growl and then go for you- which she never used to do.

I'm stuck now, I really don't know how to make Higgs accept that Tesla is not going anywhere, and that by remaining stressed and grumpy she's just making herself unhappy.

Cats!

oh what a horrible position to be in! poor higgs. good luck!

I'm going to wait for Tesla to get bigger, then lock them both in the same catbox.

One way or another, the problem will resolve itself.

lock cats in box

come back in 24 hours

"Has this been resolved yet?"

It will be a superposition of resolved and unresolved.

Cats!

Some take ages to accept other, some doesn't.

It took mine a good year before it calm down and relaxed around my new cat, she's now perfectly tolerate with the new cat (she's 13 years old, he's about 2).

Magpies are fascinating creatures. There's a few that hang around our block, and they torment our cats. They imitate the calls of tits & finches, and are generally full of wit & mischief. I wouldn't say they were more or less wicked than cats, and are probably responsible for far less predation than our cuddly moggies.

I think Wolfie has some sort of pact with the magpies, I've caught him twice talking to them
Magpie: chatter chatter chatter chatter
Wolfie: Meow
Magie: chatter chatter chatter chatter
Wolfie: Meow

and so on, Wolfie was sat on the window sill next to the open bedroom window, whilst the magpie was perched on the telephone wire above.
MOC has told me he's caught the wolf doing this earlier but I didn't believe him.

Maybe they're feeding back aerial information on the movements of Evil Blue Cat in return for squirrels..

Maybe I have an over active imagination.

Could the magpie be distracting the squirrel whilst Wolfie creeps up behind it, then they share the booty?

We need video footage of this awesomeness!

Translation:

Magpie: you stupid fat moggy, you're so slow you couldn't catch a cold!
Wolfie: Come down here and say that, bird-brain.
Magpie: No chance, bagpuss, you smell like a pigeon, and you look worse.
Wolfie: Want some of my new fresh tuna? Mmm, lovely, tasty, tuna...
