On Cats

Our friend Terry, who doesn't live here but would like to...

Having no cats of my own now, I look after my Daughter's cat Olive, when she is on holiday. I try to keep her entertained but she soon gets fed up.

Or, showing his opinion of it. 😉

Hmm, what would he prefer? The closest I can think of to his colouring is chocolate and cream but it doesn't fit all that well :)

A GWR streamlined railcar?

If he showed up at my place and wanted in, in he would be!

"Onslaught" the GCR Loughborough Station official feline being a bit of a poser at yesterdays Diesel Gala......

 

 

How it got a name from a loco (D832) that isn't resident there is not known.....

Perhaps someone witnessed an attack on some poor innocent rodent?

That's why it's employed there!

I'm still waiting for my Accurascale model of that loco.

Re the loco, me too. I don't think it will ever happen, with any of the hydraulic Warships, but I can dream.

[J. S. Bach]

I would not mind an O scale one, if truth be told.

There! I've corrected it for you.

Yesterday after 3 years eating not much else, Tilly decided she didn't want Fish anymore.  Fortunately I had some Chicken and liver on hand...............

They usually wait until you have bought a large supply of what seems to be their favourite food and then they refuse to touch it.

Yes, I'm sweating a bit having just shelled out £75 for a large sack of Kato's vet recommended diet.  If he so much as hesitates...😇

My last three cats have been fed nothing but Purina Indoor Cat Chow, the first of the three was a kitten (a curbside adoption of about ten or so weeks old) who, for the first year, got Purina Kitten Chow then the switch to the Indoor stuff.

 

First cat (Tyger) as a kitten, I had just brought him home, the dark on the muzzle was just dirt:

 

Second cat (Wingnut) was a shelter adoption and I still miss her:

 

Current cat (Raindrop):

So this afternoon Tilly has decided she likes fish again and not chicken (fortunately, I only had a few tins of chicken left over from a variety pack).  There are days when I think wistfully of my old ginger cat Misty, who, having known what it was like to be starving, would never leave food uneaten.

That sounds like Daisybelle (our Croatian sheepdog).

It means we can't feed the cats on the floor, they have to be fed on a windowsill or Daisy would scoff the  lot.

Typical dog!

[BR60103]

Marco will eat whatever we put down for him, usually. If we put out a plateful because w'll be out all day, it probably doesn't last past coffee break.

Fortunately, he likes the kibble and we can give it to him as a treat.

If he eats too much too fast he will regurgitate it.

I could never feed Honey and Misty together, I had to give Honey her food upstairs, or Misty would eat it all before Honey managed to eat more than one mouthful.  Misty even made a good go of the special kidney food he was condemned to in his last year of life.

When Clydie had to go onto the special kidney food,we invested in a couple of microchip-controlled bowls - they make things so much easier!

Don't think there were any of those around when Misty was alive.  Even if I could have got one for Honey I am sure Misty would have found a way to circumvent the mechanism somehow!

Back in those days, the Blue Cross did not routinely microchip cats before giving them away.  Misty (and Honey) only got microchipped after he was found after being lost for 9 weeks.  Totally pointless, as he never went very far away again, the tether to his dinner bowl was very short!

Our Romanian rescue, a carpathian sheep dog, also eats the cats food so the bowls end up in the bath where she can't reach.

Marble the cat eats the dogs biscuits.
