Hi fellow pet lover,
I have a long haired moggy - her name is Katie - and she's very much a
"Lady" pussy cat - she's so dainty and fragile. She lives in the garage
- as
she is a little skittish, and she does not enjoy the company of the
other
cats - they're such a rowdy lot!
Jaap's asleep on the bed next to me! I think he's dreaming of a smelly
bone!
He's twitching and making funny noises!
My youngest cat Sammy - she doesn't really love me anymore - don't know
why -
only time she is affectionate is when she wants something to eat!
Nowadays
John gets all the cuddles! And I'm missing out! Sigh...
Oh well, at least my boys - the two fixed male toms and the dog - love
me!
You wouldn't happen to know a handy trick to keep cats from going to the
toilet
where you don't want them to? My rascally Oscar - who's only just
learning to
be a proper cat - is doing his business under our verandah - right by
our bedroom door - the smell is not very pleasant - I don't know what I
can do
about it - he was using the litter tray - we put up with that because we
realised that his old owners had not allowed him to live an ordinary cat
life.
But now that he's literaly stinking the place out - well.... you can
probably
guess how I'm feeling about that!
Hope you're having a nice day!
Love,
--
Lin
