I think that might depend on what you’re cats name is.
It’s a good idea … litter picking.

You’ll like it … we call him Tigger. 
The cat’s back, but still in agony. Hope to get him to the vet tomorrow.
A result, or maybe a half result. Good luck with the vet.

Poor Puss, so good you have him back. Hopefully the vet has strong painkillers for him, maybe even a pain injection straight away. I hate it when an animal is in pain.

Morning, Very early morning 2am and I can’t sleep so sat at the fire with a latte. Hope I can get up again for the pool at six. Had a text from the landscaping guy says he’ll be here around nine, hope to hell he is, I know he couldn’t help being ill but it was getting exasperating waiting every day.
Will do some cooking for the freezer while he’s here as I will need to be around, can catch up with other things once he’s finished and I can get out.
Enjoy your day everyone. 
Good morning. Raining here again this morning. Not got a lot planned today except for a few bits and pieces from the shops. Rox hope the guy turns up and gets your garden started. Dex hope your kitten has found his way home.

Tigger is my 8 year old cat, who some of you have been offering kind words and thoughts about over the last few days. Thank you.
Took him to the vet who couldn’t find anything broken in his rear off-side paw. So he has been given some pain killer, and we have to keep him indoors. If no sign of improvement, the next step will be an X-ray. In which case, I intend to present myself at the nearest hospital with a self-induced broken arm and sneak Tigger in with me to radiology so I get the picture for free.
Obviously, while there, like any good tradesperson, they found that he has a heart murmur. We opted for the monitor-it-ourselves-for-the-time-being-by-counting-his-breaths-rate-per-minute-while-he-sleeps approach for the time being instead of the ECG. I shall have to think how to fake a heart attack and where to shift the sticky pads to on him and off my body at hospital.
I’m sure our one time radiologist on here might be able to offer advice.
In the meantime, we shall have to create a small en-suite for his litter tray somewhere within the house, as he has to be kept indoors for a while.
Naturally, this will involve having to get up numerous more times per 24 hour period to let our other cat in and out.
Pets, eh?
Dontcha luv 'em?

Hows Puss Wuss today Dex?
Morning, Cloudy this morning but dry, I hope it stays that way as my Landscape Guys are busy sorting out the bottom of my garden. An at home day for me while they are here, but I did get to the pool first thing.
Enjoy your day everyone.
Evening. It turned out a lovely sunny day here after a shower of rai, Had my hair done then did some food shopping so cupboards and freezer are full for a few weeks. Rox hope the garden is taking shape and your happy with it.
Did some invigilation for a local school (year 11 mocks, or PPE as they’re now referred to 
) this morning, then had to deal with some gov department on the phone before sending them the info that I sent over a year ago about my mother in law’s estate, which they claim to have never received despite sending me a couple of letters saying they had.
The cat is sleeping a lot, and the painkillers are avidly helping him do so by removing the pain and tension. Early days, but things are looking up.
Have a pleasant evening, each and all.

Good morning. Sun is shining but still cold out there. Been to the Hospital to have treatment for sun damage. I have cream on and a plaster and have to go back at 12 30 to have light treatment on it.
Morning all! Pretty cool here a 11C and light rain but the wee dog likes it. More visitors coming this afternoon. The missus is going to prepare a nice dinner. My professional task is taking the trash out…(
Oh Gad, we had a frost last night, it was only 3 degrees on the temperature dial in the cars dashboard at 6.30am, defrosted quick enough but it’s the start of the slippy bits on the road and a bit more careful drive to the pool. Same due for tonight, went and put all the more delicate planters into the greenhouse. Left the door open but a bit of shelter will be good, have to wrap the pots in bubble wrap in a few weeks I suppose. AND, AND It’s dark so early now, back of 7pm
And we still haven’t the time change yet…(
Similar sort of day to yesterday … invigilation and cat slowly getting better.
I thought you might want to see the monster of a cat this thread is about
I caught the little rascal this morning walking about with barely a limp to be seen. He saw me and immediately started to fake it. He knows what he’s doing, the little rascal.
My daughter is not working from home today, so I can do some noisy work sanding and vacuuming. I can also wash the part of her bedroom carpet which my elder cat decided to have a number 2 on this morning, as the catflap was locked due to keeping the younger cat housebound. The cat is now well enough to have loud machinery on in the background, on condition that the doors between him and them are firmly closed and he’s had his medication/sedative by then.
Am also going to nip to a Chinese supermaket (with the unsettling name YH Lung, which is even more unsettlingly very close to the Manchester Royal Infirmary 
) to get some bits n bobs to make a stir fry for tea.
Have a lovely day, each and all of you
Sounds delicious @Dextrous63 … when shall I arrive? 
Nippy night and a beautiful day here today. I seem to have a choccy fad on me at the moment …stacks and stacks of jaffa cakes keep disappearing when they’re put next to me.
