“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.” Take it from an expert in the field ....Oscar Wilde , not me^_^
 
I'm having a great time! :angry:
My wife wanted me to put up our yawning . The canopy is held on by 18 x7 mm nuts . I must have put them safe somewhere when I took it down in the wind last year. Couldn't find them . :angry: My daughter had some left over from our old one so I cycled round and picked them up . :smile:
I have struggled to put the canopy on and tighten up the nuts. I then noticed that I have put it on inside out ! :angry:
I'm having a rest for a while .

That's a bit of a myth I'm afraid. Also not particularly good for their urinary tract. Better on wet food.
Yet I had a Cat that wouldn't eat anything else, you could put down Tuna, Chicken, Pate or any tinned/pouches Cat food and he'd still go for his GoCat biscuits and before you say it was how he'd been fed as a Kitten he was my Kissa's* first born and neither her nor his sister Pippi were like it, he always had access to 'wet' food just didn't want it.

* I lived with a girl from Finland at the time 'Kissa' is cat in Soumi and she named the kittens Tomi and Pippi from the Pippi 'longstockings books by Astrid Lindgren
 
The wet v dry food argument isn't that straightforward.

Yes, dry kibble is good at keeping their teeth clean, but cats are not great drinkers, so their intake of water might not be high enough, leading to kidney and bladder issues.

Wet food (pouches / cans) is too soft to keep their teeth in tip top condition, but the high moisture content means that they get a good deal of their hydration from that.

Raw is the best of both worlds, but not every cat will eat it.

I'm lucky as the girls will eat all three kinds. They also have a Torus water dispenser thing, although Poppy does like to paddle in it. At least it's heavy enough that she can't tip it over - which she tended to do with a standard bowl.

Maz gives the Cats a small saucer of 'Cat Milk' evey day and Tomi was partial to a spoon of natural Yoghurt every now and then, as for water he used to stick his head into the half full pint glass of water Maz took to bed with her to the point he'd nearly pass out from lack of air, quite funny to watch him stagger away from the bedside table after a session.

Warm, breezy and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I spent the morning gardening. I have clipped the grape vine, re-potted seven tomatoes and put the strawberry plants into a large planter, and then I have watered everything that needed watering.

Almost time for lunch, and then there's plenty of footy to keep me occupied.


Flipping heck Just looked at the TV schedules Thank goodness I’ve got a load of recorded programs to watch plus Netflix and Amazon Don’t mind watching the odd England game and Wales and Scotland but stuff the rest:evil::evil::evil:
