LB agree that vcm is anything but funny. I was watching a question of sport how little I know of modern sport apart from the main players. Lily I hope you’ve had a rest today. Ante have a restful evening. Chive Alfie had a better night and came to sit on my knee for some time. Hazel I hope oh feels more comfortable in a couple of days.
I am going to sign out too everyone. Glad your OH is a lot more comfortable tonight Hazel. Night night everyone and sweet dreams. See you all in the morning.

Glad your OH is feeling better than yesterday. @Songbird-1 Hope you both sleep well tonight. Night night everyone. See you in the morning, hope we all sleep well.
Good morning all. Hope you slept well and are all looking forward to a pleasant weekend.
I am in work all day today then hoping for some garden time tomorrow.
Anyone any tips on getting cats to take antibiotics? Leo has a bad stomach and I paid £75 to vets for consultation and tablets he refuses to take! They must taste vile as Gatsby also refused to eat his favourite food with them crumbled into when I inadvertently left the saucer down for a minute ( had prepared it for Leo but Gatsby sniffed it and came running took a bite while my back was turned but then walked away)
A very good morning Debs and all to follow. Debs, unless your Vet has said its okay you shouldn't crumble up antibiotics to give to your cat as they can then taste very bitter. Wrap Leo tightly in a towel, gently open his mouth by pressing down his lower jaw. Put the pill as far back on his tongue as you can and gently stroke his throat to help him to swallow it. This job is far easier if you have another to help you. Good luck!

Good morning everyone. I slept better last night. Looks very grey and cold outside. Having my first cup of tea, always the bedt one ☕☕ Sorry you didn't sleep well @Ante30 hope you can have a restful day. @debs64 hope you manage to get Leo to take his tablets and he gets better soon. Hope work isn't too stressful today. @Ladybird4 think I know how Snoopy feels.......too many choccies this Christmas 😂 we've still got boxes not opened. Have a good day everyone
Hello all and thank you for your kind wishes… I had a lovely day only slightly marred by a developing sore tonsil/earache which disturbed my sleep … OH has whizzed down to Boots and returned with paracetamol and Strepsils. I’ll do a LFT later on … but I think it’s just a strep throat.
OH is at home for the next few days so I can relax and he’ll do meals etc.
I agree with @Ladybird4 re giving pills to a cat. Wrap him/her tight in a thick towel so you’re safe from lashing claws and do exactly as LB described … I have found that holding the cat’s jaws gently shut and gently closing the nostrils with finger and thumb encourages the cat to swallow and not resist, so the whole procedure is over quickly. It’s how I was shown by a brilliant vet.

Good morning everyone .Debs good luck with the tablets for the cat . As LB says that’s the way to do it .I did have a cat once that fought so much when we tried to give her tablets she had to have injections .Ante try to have a rest today you must be tired .Lily we still have unopened boxes of chocs from Christmas .I am going to put them away for Easter .I am trying not to be tempted by them .LB I love the pick .I haven’t been on my scales for a long time.I wouldn’t dare ..
Good Morning Debs, LB, Ante, SGL, Dove & Rubee and all to follow, Debs Hope Leo gets better soon and you are able to give him the pills, I use the method as described by LB but I do need assistance. Hope work goes smoothly today, LB Hope the bird watch goes well today, Ante Sorry you didn’t sleep so well last night, hope you can take things easy today, SGL Glad you had a better night, no chocolate left here it’s all gone 😩 Dove Glad you had a nice birthday, I hope your throat feels better soon, Rubee Hope you & OH are keeping well, There’s a good breeze today, my wet things are on the whirligig for the first time this year.

I need first my tea, get warm and then I'll read back. Didn't slept well last night. Outside is again freezing.
