I used to fancy Abyssinians, or Siamese, or polydactyls. But I've never had any sort of cat except DSH (and one MLH) because they were all rescues, and if I should get another after P&D cross the bridge, it will be the same story. I've long fancied a calico (had two dilute torties and a torbie)...
I have wondered if megacolon could be behind it, but that seems more likely to cause weight loss (and hers is well under control at present, she hasn't had constipation since August 2022). The vets don't seem to have any idea, but also don't seem overly concerned, which is a bit odd.
What a beautiful snake! I've never handled a snake, but I'd like to.
When you think of it, a wand toy looks and moved more like a snake, but cats aren't fright of them. So goodness knows what it is about cucumbers that scares them.
I think I have to get up now. 9am and someone is demanding...
Yes, that seems to be the usual explanation, plus the sudden appearance startles them (when stupid owners deliberately frighten them with one). My two have never seen one, I only have cucumbers on the bench being cut up or in the fridge. Deliberately frightening a cat, ugh.
Knitting group; got all the neck and right front shaping done on the cardigan I'm making.
Gave Daisy her evening pill and cleaned her teeth.
Had big snuggles at bedtime and gave her her special drink (Osmolax, which she likes).
According to this I’m Gen X (most things I see have me as tail-end Baby Boomer). This seems more accurate. My whole working life was shaped by privatisation and recession.
