Oh golly, I really don't know where to begin!!!
I have been away for AGES, and have missed SO much - I am trawling through pages of unread posts!!!!
Big changes in our household - the spur of the moment decision to put our tiny little town house on the market at the end of February had a...
Oh Gosh I am in SUCH a dilemma!!! You may remember my mentioning our house was up for sale - amazingly, we had an offer for the full amount in 48 hours, and are due to complete and move out in the next 2 weeks. Our new house is being completely renovated and unfortunately won't be ready for...
I can't believe this has happened at last!! Max and Ben are nearly two years old now - and for the whole two years, Max has hero worshipped grumpy old Melchett (14) following him all over the house and begging him to play. For all his troubles, all he has ever got has been hissing, growling...
Sometimes we don't always tell the special people how much we love and appreciate them. DH and I have been going through a rough 6 months financially, (which is why we have had to sell our lovely little house ) and sometimes in moments of stress and worry I think I forget why I married this...
Well, dear little Max has been in the wars (evidently been taunting a local cat and didn;t run away fast enough!!!!) He has an infected wound at the base of his tail and has had it cleaned out and now has antibiotics to take.
I have never had to give him anything like this - my only recent...
Handsome elderly (but surprisingly sprightly) gentleman seeks lively mature lady cat for outings and companionship - must like lying in the sunshine, getting in the way, eating tuna and hissing at kittens..........
Apply to Melchett, c/o 4BadCats!!!!
Such a handsome old chap!!!!
D'you...
As we are in the process of selling the house I have been taking a few pics as reminders of my lovely little home. Here is part of my lovely lounge with its' pretty fireplace........................
ermmmmm.............so what is that on the mantlepiece?!?!?!?!
hmmmm, that is Max - he's...
Bless him, I caught Melchett doing his best to convince me that he is 'people' - sitting up in the computer chair!!! :lol
Can't have been too uncomfortable as he sat like this for ages!!
Silly old man!!
Well, today was a day off work unlike any other I have had before - I scrubbed the house from top to bottom, phoned the esate agent, and following his valuation of it...........I have put the house up for sale!!!!
I am still a little shocked - we have been talking about it for ages - love the...
A friend on the car club forum I am a member of has just posted OK Go - treadmills I have watched it three times and it is brilliantly synchronised!! If this kinda thing went onat our gym I would renew my membership in an instant!!!
I wonder how many times they had to practise before they got...
I picked the camera up this morning, and when I switched it on I realised there were a couple of pics which hadn't been downloaded. I was so pleased to find this below - the last pic of my darling Paddy boy, guarding the boat that his Daddy was building - I didn't realise DH had taken this, and...
I was sorting through some old photos this evening, and found the following from my teenage years - I was a teenager of the 80's - cue the big New Romantic hair - the satin shirt - the mass of blue eyeliner and the attitude...........
Gave me the best laugh I have had for a...
........who has gone through the loss of a feline friend.
I was sitting in the lounge last night, half asleep, with the remaining three boys dozing around me, when I heard a clattering of the cat-flap. We all jumped and Max and I raced into the kitchen.............there was nobody there...
Bug hugs needed here - me and DH have cried ourselves silly over my darling Paddy boy - I am still shocked, but at least I have hubby and friends to talk though with.
The old guy - Melchett, has never been a social animal, and remembers the days pre kittens, when he owned us and the house, and...
I can't believe it. I have only been a member here for just over two weeks, and I was hoping I would never have to post here.
Last night I remember not seeing all four of my boys before I went to bed. Paddy was missing. This is nothing new - they are all outdoor boys and usually spend the...
I was having a sort out of photographs and I came across the three little men's bay photos - these are from when Max and Paddy (littler brothers)were two weeks old, and Ben, who is their cousin, was two weeks old. You forget things - how tiny they are - how blue their eyes are, and how they fit...
I thought you might all like to say hi to my bad boys -
The old man of the house - my lovely rescue cat - Melchett, who is nearly 14 - see here surveying his territory
...........and the three troublemakers - left to right, Paddy, Max and Ben - all aged 18 months, and without whom our lives...
Hi folks!!
Lovely to meet other daft cat crazed ladies and gents!
I am Lou - I live in Cheshire in the UK, and as well as being Mum to three teenagers I am also kitty Mum to my 4 Bad Boys - Ben, Max, Paddy, and the grand (although rather grumpy!) old man, Melchett.
I shall get some photos...
