just been to waitrose. came out rich in food, poor in cash, happy....

glad you are ok, hope the ankle heals up fast.

^ i'll buy you 2 beers for the second jar

had grouse for the first time last night and it was amazing. just roasted it with some butter and bacon over the breast and made game chips (house still smells of oil this morning). smelt very gamey, but wasn't overly. was moist and tender and very very tasty.

ok, so have decided to splash out and buy my OH a good camera for xmas. he works in teevee so want to get him a canon he can play about with and film on... now would i need to go the whole hog and get a loan, combine b-day and xmas presents for the next 5 years and get him the 5d? or do some of the lesser cameras have the same quality video....? am a nikon person so have no idea about canon.

i do however believe in getting the vet to come to your home to do it - expensive but much less stressful for the animal.

they are stronger, but also less able to communicate how they feel, and we can't make them understand pain in the way we do. it is also not natural for an animal to have a long lingering death - it would never happen in the wild. we have domesticated them and have to take responsibility for that.

i would want a lethal injection if i was suffering - it's like an anaesthetic overdose - amazing feeling!

i think that by far the kindest thing that we can do as owners is have a pet put down if it starts to suffer. i think keeping an animal alive when it is clearly in pain is one of most selfish things we do as humans.

Thanks Jemjah.. :-)

i have to admit that i cried so much when i took her to the vet i couldn't even speak to say i wanted her to be put down. she is the mother/grandmother/greatgrandmother of all the cats we have had since i bought her when i was 14. had to have her son put down a few months later too as he had broken his leg years before but got a tumour where the break was. that was just as hard!!!!

Felix and Whiskas... boo. It's like McDonalds for cats.

Buy Hills or equivalent, no wet food unless you have a male outdoors cat and even then, not much.

Cat trays are smelly from the urine, shite should be removed. Newspaper as a liner and the litter of your choice works better than most "clumping/absorbing/whatever" in my opinion.

ha! that's exactly the analogy i use - it's like feeding your kids mcdonalds. better to buy quality food that you need to feed less of, than bulked out rubbish.

since i changed the diet of my dad's cats (he used to buy whiskas type food, now they get hills or iams) the 2 fat ones have lost weight, and the 2 thinner ones have gained weight.

Molly went back to the vet this morning for checks. A tiny part of the incision is slightly open so it's back to wearing the lampshade so she doesn't lick it. Very grumpy cat.

With regard to the lump it's not so good news. We haven't got tests back and while it was completely removed, for what it was and where it was (large and under her mammary gland) it's an 80% chance that it's a nasty tumour..

We are looking at the 20% side of the situation though.

:-)

one of my cats had a tumour in her mammary glands. it was removed and was fine for about 4 years, then she got another one. by this time she was about 15 and getting a bit frail, so i opted to have her put to sleep rather than put her through more surgery.

fingers crossed that your cat's isn't nasty and she will have lots more years ahead of her.

it's that time of year again and lidl are selling lebkuchen. bought 5 packs yesterday. already finished one. eyeing up the second....

And here it is. Absolutely top-shelf meaty awesomeness.
And sealed it can last up to 5 months.

want. want want want.

looks amazing

So basically you are teaching your cat that when she wants to go outside she just needs to poo on the carpet....

Never, ever shouts at your cat. I mean it.

i know it is unbelievably frustrating, but unless you actually catch you cat in the act, they will not associate being shouted at with pooing on the carpet. moving the litter tray closer to the door then outside is by far the best bet.

this is far more entertaining.
