Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 They'll come round, Ben, sooner than you think. I have a ginger feline guest for a few days. Her owner just had a hernia op and is recovering where I can keep a beady eye on him. My Moggies are not too pleased! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,218 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 By law cats in all council areas in South Australia have to be registered and one council is proposing a a "cat curfew" in passing a law for all cats to be confined to their owners property between 9:00pm and 7:00am. The council says it is being brought in to protect wildlife and limit the nuisance behaviour of cats. Are there any moves to do this in the UK? I think it is a good idea.

benjamin1945 16,118 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Despite their very young lives being rough amazingly they are '''Litter tray''' trained......expected some mess last two nights,,but thankfully had used their ''Fray''........so dont expect they will be ''Crapping''' on neighbours gardens,,,,but we'll see.........

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's only homo sapiens who goes defecating in doorways! Cats learn very quickly to use a tray and only use it if it's clean! Curfew? Nuisance behaviour? Let's start with people, shall we? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking after a friend who's just had a hernia op in a deli cat place. He's feline a bit ruff ruff! Sounds like a catastrophe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,893 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Ben we have a dog who is very sensitive. She is now 8 yrs old . We got her as a puppy and she has never lost her timidity. Where we got her from was a house in the country, the owner had 2 small children and a Doberman. The children were always picking her up and playing with her. We accepted her but couldn't take her straightaway as we had arranged to go to Nottingham for a few days but the owner said she would keep her for a few days until we got back. During our visit to Nottingham we got a phone call to fetch her straightaway because she was afraid the Doberman would kill her. We got back pretty quick and fetched her. On talking to the owner she revealed that both dogs stayed outside and the Doberman was always loose. It sent shivers through us, we took her home immediately, but she is still nervous. She's treated like a baby and now gets on well with the other dogs despite the difference in size. My husband doesn't pass her without telling her he loves her and kisses her every minute he can. They have a special bond between the two of them but she is nervous when she goes outside and to come back in she's afraid of the door closing on her. She's a good natured dog but always looks sad. So Ben if your cats are a bit shy it may be that it's their nature. We came to the conclusion that Misty was badly treated by the owners children and left with a much bigger dog, however friendly he appeared to be. Another thing we've noticed lately, having 4 female dogs in the house their cycle has become " all for , one for all" and although she's been with the other dogs for a few years , she's starting to take an " interest" in the others which she never has before and didn't know what to do. Now it's a bit too much , we got a spray , it works and if there's a bit too much attention we reach for the spray and they flee like the wind. It's quite funny. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I’ve just heard a cry of ‘good grief’ from the kitchen as my wife took the pork chops out of the ‘fridge. When presented to me for my delectation I could see what she meant. They are rather on the large size to say the least. One is even larger than the other - will that be mine?

Beekay 5,094 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Oooohh deep joy !!! Today is a real treat in store.... today I is having a bowl of stew ! Just about to tear off a chunk of bread to go with it. It's like living in the fast lane Katyjay. And not a chop in sight Phil, (can't get to Newark to buy any). A balanced meal indeed, a bowl in each hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 This week hasn't been much fun. Still less for my chum who has a sizeable gash where you don't need one, following hernia surgery! Thank goodness for morphine! If he doesn't take it, I don't get any sleep! Molly the feisty ginger cat has been very well behaved but mine are all giving her a wide berth. They haven't even tried to eat her food! The weather's enough to depress anybody! Roll on spring!
