    ....Mmmmh... :/

    Three days ago it was "A wave drowned my phone"... what's the excuse now, "The dog chewed my USB cable"? WHERE'S FINBARR??
    We. Need. Photos. Pwetty pweeze... Or at least updates...

    Or, in my case, a life... but that's a whole different thread...

    I'd say by now Master Cobblepot is catching his own fishies for dinner... ;)

    PREVIOUSLY, ON THIS THREAD:

    Last week, our little darling Finbarr was taking to the new food pretty well. Last we heard, Taytobreath, he was on a purée of freshly cooked fish with formula in it, but he was beginning to eat from the saucer.

    Now, if only Damagegt posted something we'd have a new episode to watch... Netflix move over...

    Our first stray had no fur on his back and burned skin from a hot engine. Only a few weeks when we found him, skinny and lonely, he's 10 now and happily sleeping in front of the fire with a full belly, purring away :)

    Send him to boarding school, that'll teach him! ;):D

    He seems in great form, I think the vet visit can wait another few weeks, but that's just me. As for the disciplining, I'd start with a good scratching post and a few toys to keep him entertained and away from your curtains - fat chance :rolleyes:... I remember reading some other posts a while back about a Feliway plug-in or similar, it might help to calm him and make him feel less anxious/nervous/stressed while you're away.

    Anyway, thanks for the update, D! That young cat is gorgeous, he's growing up big, strong, funny and happy - we knew already he was smart :cool:. I'm sure you'll never be bored again, with him around! Congratulations, you've done sterling work with him!

    Time to start his routine; before he get fed make sure you play with him (da bird is great but buy plenty as they will break) to the point he wants to go after it but simply cant. Then you feed him, he'll groom himself and go to sleep. Rinse repeat basically. This way you can focus his energy to the toy rather than becoming a acid addicted clawed fur ball terrorist roaming around your house :P

    Have just read this thread from start to finish and it's made me laugh and cry. Such luck that you found him OP, you really saved him and he's thriving. Well done, you should be really proud of yourself. It's obvious from your posts how much you love him!

    This post really made me smile this morning. It's brilliant that such a fluffy wee joy-bundle can drop into your life out of nowhere and that you're both doing so well together. Fair play to OP, little Cobbles is so lucky to have you :)

    Yeah man, need to get a webcam. I'm sure you could get a kick starter campaign going to have Finbars entire life caught on camera ala the Truman Show
