Me again :)))

Morning Elkie... Oh she's lovely Sue...

Morning Fran...:)) How you doing....It's pouring of Rain here, we've had our two days of Sunshine....ah well....

Morning Sue... Alls well thanks x We had a downpour earlier and it should brighten up again later. It's been lovely and mild recently:))

It really has, we've been spoilt really...still it makes the Winter shorter hopefully...;)))

How are you bargain plants you bought, are they doing well...!!

Three are looking good and three look sad! Just have to wait to see if they pick up! Two I received from France are looking great though...:))

Nice...The palace Purple are quite toughys they should be ok...glad your others aredoing good...Mine are dotted about in Sun and shade, and doing ok too...Bought some more and split them, so waiting to see how they fare, have them inside at the mo...will let you know...lol...

lovely Sue - looks like she's blowing a kiss :))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Her eyes are full of expression, and you very rarely hear her miaoww...It's all in the eyes...:)))

Sweetie on the other hand is a real talker, and the expressions on her face are hilarious sometimes...lol...

:DDDDDDDDDDDD really well groomed too

Thanks Paul, they're all clean girls...they look after themselves good...:)))

Love to see people look after their animals like this- there was a video on Youtube some idiots throwing a hamster about and poor thing was so scared and they were laughing - flagged it - but they keep it on anyway - yet the site removes any music that has copyright :(

Ah ! She's beautiful :o)))

Oh Paul how awful...I can't bear to watch things like that...those thugs should be thrown about themselves, see how they like it...I'm a firm believer in "What goes around comes around"

Thanks Hywel...love her to bits...

totally cute! Hi Elkie!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cute!

I believe that aswell Crissue, and it serves them right when it does come round ... Yesterday I saw a little boy hitting a dog on it's head and dragging it by the collar down some steps. I've reported it to the RSPCA !

Well done Hywel - cowards they really are

SHocking!

Good for you Hywel...-and in one so young, so where is he learning that from I wonder...it's a disgrace, when people are supposed to be animal lovers...:((((

lovely photo!
minty turns her back, she hates the camera!

Suki doesnt like ti much either lol..usually have to take about a dozen pics before I can get one good one!

the trouble is there is a light on my camera before the flash goes off so she shuts her eyes before the shot!!!

yeah smae here lol

they knows thar knows....lol...It's me that hates cameras, can't stand my photo being taken, Freckles is camera shy too...but all the others including OH are real posers :))))

You are so sweet, Tilly and Jack says hello :))

:))) Hello back Tilly and Jack, from Elkie, Sweetie, Freckles, and Snoball....xxxx

:)))xxxx

Im camera shy too crissue!!

Lovely Elkie

It's awful Sticki...I freeze, OH really has to make me laugh to get a decent shot, or catch me unawares lol...

Thanks from Elkie Moti...x

exactly the same here.

It's bizarre...but there you go...;o)

Lovely Elkie.....Is she asking for her supper?
I hate having my photo taken. I pull a photo face and look awful unless I don't know the photo is being taken. LOL

Thanks Lindak...No she's posing for her pic...lol...:)))

It's supprising how many people are Camera shy...I hate it...I seem to have a terrified look when mine is taken...

My best tactic is to have the camera myself then Im always behind it ~ not in front!!

Morning Sticki....lol...to that...

just going to eat brekki, then will pm you...

Thanks crissue, have to go out now - will catch up later.

no worries...:)))

She's so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet :)

Aww thanks Tommy, she loves OH to bits...sleeps with him; with her paw over him, like cuddles....

aww thanks...she loves OH and sleeps right snuggled against him, like cuddles...

Oh how lovely :) My Lucy likes to sleep with me on my pillow. But! Not any more.. Last week when I was deep asleep, she went into the next room and pooed on the floor. She's banned from sleeping with me since then. Too bad but can't be helped :-(

Oh I agree...we keep a litter tray, just in case of emergencies, they do happen from time to time...Two of ours will literally walk on you to wake you up, if they want to go out in the night...and the other two rattle the blinds in the front room...The two youngest are not allowed out at night, but the two eldest prefer nights out...and from Spring through till Autumn, they only come in to eat....baby Sweetie, would love to stay out all night, but she's not allowed....:))))

Lucy is not trained to poo/wee in the house, so I don't know if she can do her business in a litter tray. We have no cat flaps and no plan to install one, so she can't sleep with me unless I sneak her into the bed without my husband noticing it. Your two youngest are not allowed out at night? Is it dangerous?

No it's not dangerous...The elder two used to have acres and acres of fields and woods around, and our barns, so it wasn't that much of a problem for them to be out...When we moved, we said we wouldn't let the younger one Elkie out at night, because we're nearer to the road more and less fields...then when Sweetie came along, we followed the same practice....We have no Cat Flaps either, but all of ours have the opportunity to use a litter tray if they need to...and normally cats automatically will use one, the litter has something in it that draws them...and I wouldn't like to hang on all night if I needed to go lol....;)))

Oh I see. A road is a real menace to cats.. My parents have cats and quite a few of them had accidents and were killed by car... It's really really sad.. I'd love to have a litter in the house so that Lucy can sleep with me, but my husband won't like it, plus we can't afford it, even the small thing like that! We are so poor.. Not nice!! Speaking of money, we have to pay "taxe d'habitation" next month, maybe water bill too. We've just paid "taxes foncieres" this month. I hate bills.com lol !!!

Us too...You had me stumped for a bit there, I thought you were in Norfolk...
and of course the TV licence is included in the taxe d'habitation...and our Water bill is in...

You would think being just on the fringe of the Village, the animals would be safer, but some of the vehicles that use the the through road, do so at a speed that suits them....We have quite a lot of land being built on around and about now, which young Families with Children in the main are buying, so I think the Marie will have to look at the extra traffic, and the old roads, with no pavements, and no room to put them either...fair enough, the roads were only ever made for a small village traffic, Tractors and Horses etc....

Our base is Norfolk but we go to the house in France every month. We have no landline/internet there, so I do GoY only when we are in Norfolk.

I know what you mean.. A great majority of French people drive really fast even on the country roads. We are often overtaken by the maniac French (sometimes by Spanish lorries lol ). I really hope your elder cats will be okay outdoors in the night, because even grown-up cats can be victims..

I think they're sensible enough Tommy they don't like the sound of traffic at all...Our other house was off the beaten track, so they saw mainly tractors....the younger ones, have grown here nearer the Villge, and are prone to taking more risks...teenagers lol...

Glad to hear that your elder cats are clever enough not to go near to the roads nearby! Big kisses and hugs to your four beautiful cats from me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks they'll love all that, they love a kiss and a cuddle...:)))

:)
