Some years ago I spent ages trying to coax my cat to come in for the night (he had an irritating habit of running off if you went out to try and pick him up and carry him in). After half an hour of rattling a box of cat biscuits and tapping his food dish, my OH mentioned that the cat was asleep on the chair and I'd been trying to coax a plastic carrier bag to come in.
What is it about cats? If it's not bad enough having to admit to chatting to your cat while you're tidying up, I have to admit that I once found I'd actually been chatting to my handbag.
love the cat one Suedonim Years ago I saw a cat asleep at the bottom of the tree at the end of our garden..it was still there when I got back from work 8 hours later.I was really worried that the poor thing was dead.When I plucked up courage to check on it it wasn't a cat ata ll...it wa s a burst football ,it was just how the light hit it that made it look like a cat..at least thats what I said to my OH ...lol
We were driving back from eating out with DD and her then boyfriend when she let out a scream and said “you just ran over a mouse! It ran into the road and you ran over it.” So DH got out, walked back to the “mouse”, picked it up and carried back to the car a large, curled up, dead - leaf! He does not miss an opportunity to remind her of it!
I've done the tomato stalk/spider thing, in my time. I'm terrified of spiders so it's always heartstopping for me.
The best one ever was when a friend was staying with me. She woke me early one morning to say that one of my cats must have had an accident as he was lying dead on my kitchen floor. In shock, I ventured down to see what on earth was going on and found my cat looking hale and hearty and very pleased with himself for having killed a rabbit and dragged it in through the cat flap. My friend had failed to put in her contact lenses!
My FIL asked me to look in his outer ear as he was complaining of unexplained sudden hearing loss. Mustering 10 years of nursing experience I peered in and to my horror saw a prominent pink growth protruding. I took him straight to his GP who, with the aid of a pair of tweezers removed a tiny pink rubber which had come adrift from the end of his pencil.
I get a little confused every time I open the 'active conversations' list on here. The second item starts "Read Gransnetters etc." I always see it as 'Real Gransnetters' and momentarily wonder what 'False Gnetters' are like
My GD let out a scream that would waken the dead this morning..she sawa massive spider on the kitchen floor .When I went to see, yes there was a huge spider but it was sitting very still ..I looked from the door.When I approached it the closer I got the spider changed shape and became...the stalk off a tomato .Ever feel like a fool ?
