Bl**dy Brexit!

Callistemon , you have a children's book in you!

That sounds such fun. Keep writing. Jobs can wait!

There he goes!

Brilliant Witzend, that gave me a laugh, thank you. If only that was the kind of business they were doing on my lawn; it would be so much easier to clean up. Bleurgh....

@Chewbacca, I thought you might like this....

It's entertaining, though.

I have a picture in my mind of a Chinese cat called Brexit hitching a lift in various lorries from Shanghai to visit his pal GagaPuss in England. His pet passport is out of date so he gets sent home again and hitches a lift in a prawn lorry to Dover, gets across the Channel but then has to find his way back to Shanghai by whatever means he can. His owner, meanwhile, stands forlornly bashing his tin plate shouting Brexit, Brexit where are you Brexit?

Meanwhile his old pal GagaPuss, left behind in England, is bereft without his pal and isn't even offered his favourite food ? miaow, no Whiskas? so decides to go on hunger strike.

To be continued .....
(Is there anyone else who is putting off a job which needs to be done who could continue?)

Im keen on finding the answer also Chewbacca

Still not going to enlighten us on the tenuous link to Brexit GagaJo?

??? ???

He'd have a long journey to get there Callistemon. THAT Brexit lives in Shanghai.

Clever cat. No ham. He'll go far

I have friends who named their cat Brexit. He was a rehomed male stray

Will we be able to blame absolutely everything on Brexit?

Brexit has scarpered, last seen leaping into the back of a lorry full of Cornish prawns heading for Dover.

My cats are Russian. I don’t know if they understand English as they ignore everything we say just giving us a supercilious stare. I am slightly concerned they’re actually Russian bots and are feeding info on my exotic(!) lifestyle back to Mr Putin. ?

Re Zooplus being German, I put in a big order on Saturday and it came yesterday- that’s the quickest ever! Maybe it was the Brexit effect. ?‍♀️

Tyne Brand food products ( back in the late 1960’s) were made in the same factory as Spillers/Spratts cat and dog food.
Not a lot of people know that......... or care.

I think that not caring is because of br**t

Have you tried giving him tinned tuna in water? Not the tuna in oil. Our cats refuse it, but eat the other with relish.

The makers say that Whiskas is no longer addictive, but all cat owners know otherwise.

I have purposely trained ours cat from kittens to eat four different varities of cat food, plus dry food, tuna and mince.

Not sure wher you are but I think Pets At Home deliver.

That is truly shocking Lucretzia! How are you expected to eat a low fat prawn cocktail - what were they thinking?
My dog may have turned his nose up at that, though, he was very discerning. He would stick his nose in the air, walk off and look at me as if to say "Do you expect me to eat this muck"?

???

Exactly, Callistemon! I still haven't got over the shock of it

Have we established why Brexit is to blame for the lack of Whiskas?

I'm trying to download an update on the Fortnite game. My grandson is eagerly awaiting our virtual hook up to shoot some enemies. It's been downloading for over an hour and we're getting tired of the wait.

I know! I shall blame Bl**y Brexit!

Why would you rehire a cat Barmeyoldbat and how much do you pay her?
Per mouse (zero hours contract? ) ? boo! Or a daily rate?

Have we established yet what the tenuous link between cat food, and the lack thereof, is to "bloody brexit"?

I had a dog called Cider, imagine what the neighbour thought when I stood outside calling Cider, Cider We have rehired a cat and she is a delinquent teenagers but she will eat anything. Her favourite is my bowl of cornflakes if she can get at it but she turns her nose up at my cooked chicken.

I have friends who named their cat Brexit. He was a rehomed male stray. A lovely, delightful old boy. Friendly, delighted to be with people. Unlike my ungrateful, neurotic lad.

I thought that you had named your cat Brexit Gaga like another poster thought, as Whiskas is made by a UK firm.

I have a vision of someone standing outside the door every evening, shouting "Brexit, Brexit", and banging a spoon on a metal cat's dish.

Sometimes things are hard to get hold of for no obvious reason so it may be that other stores have it, or your delivery will have it next time.Some cats are very odd in their eating habits it’s true, but rest assured he would eat anything ( as would we all) if hungry enough.

If I am reading this right - OP is ordering something made in UK from a UK company to be delivered to somewhere in UK but it is Brexit's fault she can't get it!

But of course! ?

Foodwise our cats aren't over fussy, which is surprising considering they are French.
Their "takeaways" diet over the years has been extensive though. In their homeland it was mice and voles from the fields, bats from the barn and frogs (of the amphibian kind) from the swimming pool filter. O e day they caught a green woodpecker. When we moved to London they switched to rats, squirrels, pigeons, and parakeets. They've taken on wild boar and foxes in their time, though thankfully not as food. At 15 years old they haven't done badly, a mixed diet has served them well.

How about microwaving some coley or other cheap fish - if you can get it.

At least he’s consistent about what he likes! Our cat would think X flavour was the best thing ever for about a week, after which he’d just lick all the jelly off and yowl at the kitchen cupboard in the hope of magicking something better out.

That’s in addition to visiting soft hearted neighbours and doing his starving orphan kitten act, of course.
