All about MEE!

Correction on cat psychology.

You know I said that Cats don’t wee where they eat?

Well. some very naughty cats do. ok?
Yesterday, we had a wee-free day, and then this morning, she blew it. Pretty much straight after breakfast, (in wee corner) she went.

Maybe she’s pleased how easy I’ve made it for her? Maybe she’s secretly a bloke cat, and just LOVES the idea of having a toilet right next to her breakfast bowl? I’ve considered it might be convenient myself in the past…

Anyway, I don’t have any idea what to do at the moment, so I’ll have a think. (After cleaning it up of course) but those wet/dry vacs are looking mighty good at the moment too.

Oh dear… she gone and dun it again!

Well, on Sunday, we were out for the afternoon, and when we came back, after a short while, Anna noticed her skulking around under the desk again, and yep, she’d had a wee in the same spot again.

My instant guess is it’s a psychological issue, rather than a physical/medical one, but we’ll see. It seems that both times she’s done it, we’ve been out for 5+ hours, and she’s had a wee pretty soon after we’ve come home.

I’d read something years ago about feeding a cat where it’s weeing, as they never do bodily functions where they eat. Seems plausible, so for now at least, she’s geting fed next to her wee-spot, and we’ve been about 18 hours with out an issue! :-) Do you think that proves anything? :-)

Stinky cat! (Hope she’s ok!)

This afternoon, we came home about 16:00 after being out since breakfast, and after about 20 mins, Freya went to the back of the desk in my office and had a wee on the carpet.

IT STINKS!!!! Much worse than her litter tray has ever smelt. It’ was an ammonia sort of smell, so I’m pretty sure it’s wee.

She’s never had an accident before, and this morning, I scooped the solids out of her litter tray and topped it off with fresh litter as usual.

It’s just strange why she didn’t use the litter tray, and there’s been no other strange behaviour…

ahh well, fingers crossed it’s nothing….

Freyas favourite toy.

You know those really expensive cat toys you can buy?

Of course you do. We’ve all gone out and bought a lovely fancy toy for our cats, whilst secretly being perfectly aware that it’s more for our benefit than the cats?

And as usual the more expensive the toy, the less they’re interested?

And the cheaper and naffer the toy is… you know whats coming :-) Watch the video….

RSPCA Open Day!

What a fantastic day to have a garden party! Blistering hot sun, and more cats to look at than you can shake a feather toy at!

We felt quite the celebrities, almost everyone there was full of praise for the “Beautiful Bengals” and quote of the year goes to Leslie – “We hadn’t seen any Bengals before, and it was quite a shock – they were jumping around in their cages like the place was full of monkeys!”

It still makes me smile to think of a cattery full of Bengals! I can’t imagine what it must have been like!

Anyway, here’s some pics of the day:

The carpark

The place where it all happens!

A pretty busy day, don’t you think?

A proud mother…

Poor, poor Jake, who only has three legs, and looked soooo in need of extra hugs!

Top cat!

This dignified old boy was found as a stray, and brought in – and is going to be adopted by the couple who found him! yay!

He really touched us though, as he just looked really quite old and haggard, but just had a bit of class about him…. like an ex-show cat or something :-) I’m afraid I can’t remember his name…
