The patter of tiny feet

[wafflycat]

It feels strange. He was never "my" cat but as he was Mrs Noodley's cat before I met her 13 years ago. But he and I got on well...he would usually lumber up onto my lap and sit there as I typed onto the computer which is balanced on the arm of the sofa...or cuddle up against me on the sofa.

I keep looking down to see where he is.

I have a lump in my throat...

I have a lump in my throat...

Sorry.

Okay, back on topic.

New pattering of feet...

This might make you smile Noodley.... knowing cat's as I do, the getting onto your lap when you have the computer near by will be the bloody exhaust of hot air from the CPU cooling system.... I know......!!!! You know !!! Cheeky buggers they are !

Careful, waffly. It could be a fur ball.

I've always loved cats. Had them since I was a kid. My sister has 2 cats, but they are a bit boisterous and their jumping around freaked my kids out when they were young. Now they're terrified of cats and won't go anywhere near them.

It's a bit early to say, we have another cat and a dog who are best of mates. Not sure if t'other cat will be okay with her doggy pal or miss Hamish big time...

I miss him, as he's usually sitting on my lap when I am on the forum.

really sorry to hear that Noodley I dread the day that I lose Peanut . 16 is a really good age and it sounds to me like every day your boy would have felt how special he was.

Kittens do nowt for my health.

I hate bitchy, narky, aggresive cats but chilled relaxed adults aren't too bad.

My Dad says a Cat is like a woman; lovely and soft on the outside but below her exterior those 'claws' can do some serious damage

I hate bitchy, narky aggressive people...hard and abrasive on the outside they are usually the same on the inside ...


thats why I prefer cats !..

I think you should call it Cyclec(h)at.

That's what i think. What about a name proposal competition, with me (if there's any justice left in this crazy world) being the winner?

I'm sorry, but Aperitif suggested that over 24 hours ago.

How about 'Sprocket' as a name.

 

[Speicher]

Yes, possibly.

I wanted to call Leo, Reg, short for Reyjavik, but then it would be "Reck". Perhaps something from Scandinavia or South America - oh yes Paddington (as in Bear) he was from Peru.

* See it second day and rub it's head.
* Tell mates down the pub you have a cat.
* Bury a real friend 13 years later.

Cattesse?

Cattesse?

Could be a tad confusing if I get a tom cat.
