We have a half a cat (not as gruesome as it sounds!) but she is a stray that we managed to trap and neuter and she comes around for food and has a little house on our balcony for shelter. She's pretty wild so you can't touch her, it's taken me 6 months to build the trust so that she will take a piece of ham from my hand. Anyway, last night it was so cold I couldnt bear the thoughts of her sleeping outside so when she came in for her supper I gently closed the door behind her. Cue myself, the OH and the dog barricaded in the bedroom in case we upset her. Got up this morning and she had made a bed for herself under the table on an old fleece
Hopefully this can become a nightly routine so that she wont have to sleep outside in the cold. 0 -

She had very bad luck before. Must have been hard for her. We live in the not so nice part of Dublin. When she came to our door she was malnourished, had very bad flu, the top of one of her ears was missing and she was being pursued by a couple of randy, aggressive toms as she hadn't been spayed
Now she's fat, spayed and shiny! 
(and the tips of both ears are missing lol) :P 0 -

Aww, poor little things. They really go through the wars, and there are so many. For every one we find, there are hundreds fighting to survive Still, if we all do what we can to make at least our little corner of the world a bit better! 0 -

I could hear Peach purring this morning (she has the loudest purr ever) but I couldn't find her anywhere. I spent 20 minutes searching my room for her but eventually heard a scratching noise coming from my laundry basket. She had somehow managed to climb into it, even though the lid was closed, and reclosed the lid on top of her so she couldn't be found. She was lovely and cosy anyway 0

My husband got up in the night to go to the loo. He went to the loo at the other end of the house (so as not to wake us up with flushing - isnt he considerate!) - he mustnt have shut the door to the family room, so this a.m when the alarm went off, I had a very cozy youngest dog snoring in a ball in the bed, under the duvet, beside me!! He mustnt have moved a muscle all night 0

Jesse sleeps in the bedroom at night with us, most nights I get woken up by her pawing at my face. She's taken a shine to the OH however and seems to prefer cuddling up to him lately even if it means shoving me out of the way, woke up very early this morning to a face full of fur, she'd cuddled up to the back of OH's head and put her paws over his neck but she'd shoved her arse end of herself into my face. :rolleyes: She then went on to affectionately nuzzle into him and gently rub his ear with her paw.
Also caught her drinking mi wadi out of a glass, means I'v to start using a travel mug or a bottle at night. :rolleyes:0 -

Cold tea (she's a divil for it), mi wadi, beer (knocked over a can and licked some up off the carpet :rolleyes:), rice, lettuce, croissant, crisps and biscuit cake That's all I can think of at the moment and that's only in the 2 months we've had her Don't give her all of these things but she has a knack of jumping onto your plate and nicking food 0 -

Ah stop, he'd paw it off of me I'd say, and then bite my eyelids again
He's on the sofa now, he won't move to sleeping quarter until I do, but you can be sure around midnight I'll get pitiful miaows, and a few mournful looks from the doggy too, the 2 of them wanting bed.0 -
Dude is now an expert hunter... I was watching him this morning while himself and Cream were down in the orchard. A leaf floated down off one of the trees and Dude pounced on it straight away. Cream was looking at him as if to say wtf are you doing? :pac: So anyway Dude spent about 5 minuted thoroughly killing his 'prey' then ran as fast as he could up the garden, leaf in tow, to show me what he did. Needless to say he got an unreal amount of fuss for being such a relentless killer 0
