My cats love me. I'm always greeted with a unholy and extended yowl when I get home. Kinda how a little kid moans about how hungry they are.
Monkey is all black and absorbs all the light from photos so can never get a decent indoor pic of him. He loves sleeping on my shins, which kills after a while. I'll see if I can get a recent photo. I've no idea what breed they are, domestic shorthair really. Quite svelte though, I think I prefer that and means he's got a wicked turn of pace.
I don't think she's any sort of pedigree, but one our our two cats is pure grey, and when you tip her upside down she acts a bit spaced out. The baby cradling position - our other cat would rip my face off if I tried that, but the grey one loves it.
New tactic for running Nash into the ground: Ball throwing up hill.
Brilliant. It's like running him on the beach, possibly better. He has to power his way up the hill, then back down again. Only had time for quick walks on the weekend, and even 30 minutes on the hill at one of the local parks and he was pretty much a couch potato for the evening. Win. $70 for a new harness for big walks itf though.
Can't remember the brand. The one we had was called ezidog, but it got quite harsh on his skin after a while and tended to dig up under his front legs. he does put a lot of pressure on the lead when we're nearly ready to be ball throwing.
The one we have now is a lot softer. Straps under the belly and straight across the chest. Still haven't tested it yet. I only use it when we go for long walks. With the weather at the moment I drive him down or take him just across the road.
adkmette is moving into mine on Friday. Â She studied marine biology, and loves all piscine life. Â I've always fancied having a fish tank, so we've set up a wee tropical fish tank. Â Just a very basic 24l tank to get started. Â Unfortunately three wee blighters died early doors, but the rest are looking bright eyed and frisky. Â We've got a lyretail black molly, a lyretail gold comet swordtail (male), two male guppies (two perished), three neon tetras (one died) and two otocinclus (otocincli?). Â I'm already looking forward to being able to have a bigger tank in future.
Fisht tanks are great until you have to move the fuckers, back-breaking if you get a biggish one.
In other news toko the kittens to the vet and he identified 2 issues with the girl cat. Firstly, she has a heart murmur, hopefully that won't be too big a deal, and secondly she has a penis.
Has made naming them a bit easier though, they're now called Jake & Elwood.
This morning, my father's budgie, Giggsy, passed away. He was a noble bird, an honourable bird, and for Giggs, you dear fluffy, chirping, uninterested thing, with your confusion towards any light reflecting off a watch, and for your belief that a football crowd was communicating only with you, I salute you.

My wee old diva of a cat, wee yin, passed away yesterday in her sleep, sunning herself outside in the back garden. That was her fave thing to do so I guess I can be happy with that but I'm still very sad about it all since I wasn't there to give her one last hug.Â
RIP Wee Yin 2004-2012. You were the greatest little baby gurl.
Yeah, it's pretty terrible for me. She was *my* wee baby cos I brought her over from Ireland after a trip with a mate to see his gran n that. Whilst him and his mum went up top on the Stenaline, I stayed in the car holding with her in a small box for an iron. She was scared shitless. In the months after bringing her home, she only ever really trusted me, and that stayed right through until today. She never really had any time for any other human but me, or maybe my dad. I feel just horrible that I wasn't there, but I probably would've made it even worse for myself and my mum, who was already hysterical on the phone yesterday. Holding myself together whilst on a packed train as I was told was a fucking challenge. But yeah, she went peacefully and happily and that's all I can ask for. Cannot wait to live in my own place where I can keep pets. Missing my other cat and my dog far too much here..
