Worst human[tchsad]

Tara - are you sure your mum won't mind if I bring in a dead (well, half-eaten) mouse and hide it somewhere she can't find it only smell it when it starts to de-compose?
Well actually, it was her fault because they went away again and left me with friend-up-the-road to come in, she did feed me and give me cuddles but it wasn't the same.
My mum flapped around a lot when I brought in a bird - it wasn't dead so it flapped around like her; she didn't like it because it squawked as it flew around the kitchen and pooed a lot. The man next door came in and caught it and put it outside so I could have fun catching it again.

Tom.
I cannot believe that you were taken to the cat doctor for that "little op"- can they not even be truthful? I do hope that you have recovered. I had similar surgery but before I moved in here.

My life was hell when 2 ginger toms came to live here a couple of years ago, fortunately they have moved. Oh boy did I hate them. They would lie in wait at my cat flap and then I was given a fancy one that accommodated my microchip only. My mum came home one day to find me racing upstairs with one of the big brutes in hot pursuit- that is what made her do that kind thing for me. She had to do something as that brute was wearing the old one around his middle.

Although I think I live in a big city, it is very quiet here-sometimes I sunbathe in the middle of the road but that does not go down a treat.

If you could wind my mum round your little paws- you could then stay forever. There is space for you to have your own room- you would not have to share with me. You are never allowed on the sofa. It is pink and has to be dry cleaned whatever that means. It is not worth the fuss, I did try.

Tara you sound like a full-on Queen, would I be tomcat enough for you? (well, no, I had the indignity of being taken to the vet's for what they called a 'little op' the other week. Oh, the shame ).

And I am not full-sized yet and ginger to boot, just like that human they call 'Prince Harry' - and just as handsome I might add!.

You sound a bit too hot to handle for me
Your mum sounds nice though, perhaps I could wind her round my paws

Tom,
I have been thinking- if we can get on without fighting, why do you not come and stay here? I will show you how to get through a closed door which has been boarded up to keep me in at night and also where there is a friend of mum's who is allergic to cats and I do like to sneak into his house. He only lives 2 doors away so no problem for us. That really is a laugh, listening to him sneezing and carrying on.

I may be a girl but I am very strong as the cat doctor found out recently. He had the cheek to wear strengthened rubber gloves going beyond his elbows the last time I was dragged there for an inspection of an infected bite. It was so embarrassing, it was on my rear.

Hope to see you soon,
Tara

Hello Tom Cat,
I am so sorry to hear that you were abandoned-your mum may call it a break- it is pure abandonment if that is a word. Closing the bedroom doors was really mean, as you said, where would you sleep? You obviously could not snuggle under your mum's duvet. I suppose at least she asked somebody to feed you, she did not leave you to your own devices re food.

I found a delicious rat when I was a bit younger but the problem was I could not get it and me through the cat flap so I had to leave it on the doorstep for mum to remove it. I need not describe the fuss and commotion. Last year I brought home half dead birds for a treat- she did not like that either- what pleases her I wonder?

Tom, I feel for you- I obviously have a much better home than you, I am not abandoned.

Get well soon Tassie. You might be interested to know that the version of a Moon Cup used by Mum in the past was called a Tassie - Yuk!

Just reading the message about the pretend dog. My humans have one which represents their previous deceased companion called Thomas the West Highland- I of course beat it up if I get the chance as any respecting Cairn would.

Get well soon Tassie although I would chase you if you came into my garden

What a lovely thread! My name is Tassie and I am a very beautiful tabbie/tortie with white socks which I keep very clean. My people look after me very well and I can sleep any where I want to except in their bed at night. I didn't mean to bite him when I crept under the duvet but he moved his foot and surprised me! I've been a bit sicky lately and she shouldn't shout when I leave it on the carpet for them, at least they can see it! The nasty person we went to see gave me some medicine -ugh! - and some new food, which is alright. I'm a little better but they keep watching me so I'm always being disturbed! I'll soon let them know if I'm going to be sick again!! It's a cat's life!

Hello, I am a handsome and very cute grey dog with black eyes, I sit by a door all day and whenever the door is opened it hits my head. Surely this constant abuse should not go unpunished? I hear my mum telling people that I am the next best thing to a real dog that she would really, really love to have but cannot because our home is not suitable, but I say she is not fit to have a real dog if this is how I am treated - what is a real dog anyway, I thought I was real? She often strokes me and I even get my ears rubbed sometimes when she walks past me?

Tara you can still be Queen Bee, but spare a thought for others less fortunate than yourself with useless mums.
My mum went away for a couple of days and left me on my own with just a neighbour popping in to feed me. She even shut the bedroom doors before she left. Where am I supposed to sleep?

Tom Cat

ps she left the flap open so that I could get outside, I've a good mind to bring a few live mice in to greet her when she gets home

Hellooooo! This is Tara- my mum has been inviting all sorts of waifs and strays into MY HOUSE and did not bother to consult me. I will be waiting at the door and I am really good at removing an eye.

You lot can train your humans better, I am well sorted here

As usual in Cardiff all the claimants claim to be suffering from arthritis and depression.
Do you think it's the climate?

Poor Grace! I really don't know how you put up with that useless woman!
Sympathies!

Grace I hope she has put you a nice present under the tree to make amends, otherwise I could let you have some tips on how to fetch the whole lot down

Tom Cat

My mum calls me "no no bad dog!" When I rush in from the garden with muddy paws. I don't think thats my my name! (Rudi the shichi)

Batman- it sounds as though you should also move in here but it is becoming a bit crowded. That really is no way to speak to you when you are only trying your best to help.

Shysal your cat Bugsie is almost a twin of my baby girl Tara.

Alea I could not agree more- I prefer animals.

Poor Grace, what more has that poor girl to put up with? There is a comfortable bed here for her and she can have her own room but unfortunately there are no en suite facilities for her. She will not have to walk downstairs, I would take her down in the stair lift.

Knowing that Mum's not as agile as she was in her younger days I do try to help her with the stairs by wrapping myself round her ankles. What thanks do I get? Shrieks of "Go away Batman you idiot cat, you'll break my neck one day!" Where's the gratitude I ask you?

Bit remiss of me not have given updates really.

How's Cardiff?

Good! I've spent the last few years worrying about the cat/dog's bottom!

Duncan's bottom is magnificent. It recovered well thank you for your kind enquiry

Aah, so sweet Bugsie

Hear, Hear, Alea! Totally agree!

Well talking about bitches of the canine sort and our lovely moggies beats some of the bitching controversy that seems to characterise the political threads

Cool t shirt BTW! Could start a trend?
