Thank you

Life isn't fair. I took it for granted that she would grow to be a fat old grumpy moggy and now she has gone. I can't quite believe it. Blue and her sister Pfieffer were the first pets my wife and I got together so it been a complete shock to us both. We miss her dearly.

It sounds daft but I wanted to put a tribute for her someplace lasting where others could see how awesome she was. Felt this was the right place.

I came to post a photo but now feel all torn up. My stomach churned. Sorry for your loss Eliss. Blue was beautiful.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take away from the thread. Please post your pics, it will cheer me up no end!

In the spirit of the thread the following picture is of Pfeiffer who is Blues sister. We got them both at the same time so they have known one another their whole lives. She's currently a little lost and confused about the whole ordeal and off her food but she will bounce back soon enough.

I didn't really want to have any more dogs or cats. Probably. But then one comes along and just clicks.

I've been teaching Lebowski 'sit' and 'gentle paw' and he's picked it up!



Also to 'give kisses' which he now does



I just need him to come down from the wardrobe and accept the dog would run and hide if actually confronted!




This is all from a rescue cat who was described as a vicious, predatory attacker.

It's hard to capture his coat and markings but he has a lovely almost iridescent shine to him. Something akin to how Edward Cullen was portrayed in Twilight. A glittery sheen.





And I'm quite liking becoming one of those strange mad cat women too wink

Here are Elliot and Timothy. They adopted us while I was working in Korea on an expat assignment.

We flew them back to Scotland and they love it.




Elliot brought Timothy to us

^ That's so lovely. Well done to you and Elliot for looking out for others. If you're feeding them Cullen Skink they've really landed in their feet!

Got woken up last night by Curtis yowling and hissing right next to me, which he's never done before. Turned on the light to see another cat in my room helping himself to his food! Never even seen that one around before so don't know where he got the confidence to do that

One of ours meows loudly to let us know that she's brought another present for us...

Most of the time it's worms (when it's raining), bits of paper, bits of plastic, occasionally bread from people who've left it out for the birds.

We've had a pair of rubber gloves - although not at the same time; there was about a fortnight between them.

And she's stolen the catnip toy from another cat.

The only time she doesn't relinquish them is if it's a mouse - she growls at her brother if he comes near her!

We initially thought it was our elder cat who was bringing the mice in for them to play with, but as he was PTS yesterday (kidney failure; known about it for a month), last night's mouse certainly didn't come from him! They've not learnt to eat the mice yet (despite the elder one showing them how it's done)...

I was going to tidy the top of one of my wardrobes and see if Lenowski might like to sleep up there... It seems he's beaten me to it!





I've crafted him this today from a Christmas hamper basket and some odd fabric and ribbons
