I need some advice please. I have a standard lockable cat door in the laundry, where my young cat Tammy sleeps! I leave the cat door unlocked at night, so she can get outside! Up until I had the cat door installed, she was using a litter tray in the laundry, and she always used it! Since...

I'm really pleased to have found this thread! This morning when we were heading out to the letter box, I saw my wee Tammy pounce on a bee on the porch, and was batting it around with her paw! First one I've seen around since last summer! I grabbed her quickly, and then pounced my own big foot...

If I don't close the door, my Tammy likes to watch me on the toilet as well! She jumps up and sits on my knee! The only problem with that appeared when she jumped up at the side, and her wee claws went into my bare bottom! Ouch! She's also fascinated of course with the toilet roll, which I...

I. FEEL. YOUR. PAIN. AND. HORROR.......As well as the little ones, the big ones I've had have been about 2" long. The ugliest scariest things I have seen. Especially in winter at the last place I lived in where the hot water cylinder/linen cupboard was in my bedroom, and when I turned on the...

Kiwis are nocturnal animals, and are very seldom seen in the wild! I think they'd run away and hide from you! However, you do need to watch out for some of the human kiwis :lolup::yummy::tongue:

I'm in NZ, and we don't have many wild animals that would attack here. Possums and feral cats would be about it, there may be more, but nothing I know if. No snakes, no crocs, no bears, but a we do have couple of poisonous spiders! The Katipo and the Whitetail! I think we have a much higher...

. Thank you for that! I think I'm familiar with it after all! My children had ponies and they have an extra eyelid too, which only showed up when they had an injury!

"one of his eyes his TE is showing a bit" - sorry, I don't know what TE is??? Could someone please enlighten me? Thank you.

I have to leave my wee kitten at home alone when I work at our Local Hospice Shop on a Friday afternoon. I have to shut her in her little room, as she would play havoc in the house otherwise! I leave her with biscuits, water, and some favourite toys to play with, so know she'll be OK in that...

Tammy The Tornado usually wakes me up at daybreak, meowing from inside the laundry (where she sleeps) and standing on her hind legs scratching at the sliding door into the loo! She peeps out the side of the door when I go into the loo, which of course is the first thing I do, while she tries...

Telephone Customer Service in a Govt. Benefits Office! Not all the clients were rude, swearing and cursing and demanding immediate and urgent access to more money, but there were plenty of them and they certainly made things VERY difficult for the CSR. Sadly though, that type of person seemed...

Thanks all - very helpful advice! I was looking online for a photo of a kitten having a cuppa, but this one's even cuter, as it looks just like Tammy!

What an excellent article:hellocomputer:Thank You! As lunabella says having a cat is indeed like having a young child - I would say a 2 year old child! Distraction is a tactic I used with my young children, and it seems to be working well with my little tornado too!

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'm going to get my grandson to make Tammy a cat tree thingie - he's always looking for a bit of pocket money, and enjoys doing woodwork. I'm sure he'll jump at the opportunity - (.....IF I can get him off his computer games). We have plenty of timber and...

Thanks Kashmir64. That gives me some more hope - I always enjoy a success story! I'm sure that Tammy and I will reach a happy medium, one day anyway! Maybe when it's summer here, with the longer days, she'll probably be in her bed by the time I close up, or more hopefully, forget about them...
