My cousin in Norfolk is a musician and every year one of his gigs is to play at the birthday party of a cat. No ordinary cat, Ā this one kept scratching at his owners chest, Ā then he got quite vicious and scratched harder, Ā the man went to the doctors for a tetanus jab, Ā while he was there the doctor said he would give him a little check up, Ā heād got a heart problem and was taken in and operated on, Ā he says the cat saved his life so every year they have a party.Ā

Lyn,cat sorted out the cardiac problems,then the poor man had infection because of cat scratch fever!!! Have you seen Bob the Street cat,it's lovely. We moved once. Tiger had moved with us several times,never liked the cat carrier. We moved,he actually got into the car of his own volition,with one load,sat in the passenger seat, looking out of the window Ā It was hilarious seeing peoples faces!
'Why am I sitting next to a blue cheese with a bit of tartan wrapped around it?ā āAh, thatād be Horace,ā said Rob Anybody.Ā āHeās Daft Wullieās pet.Ā Heās noābeinā a nuisance, is he?ā āNo, but heās trying toĀ sing!ā āAye, all blue cheeses hum a bit.'
Is that a Nac Mac Feegle quote?

I think Bob was one missed cat when he died, Ā he turned that blokes life around. Ā Hope heās ok with out Bob. Heres ours waiting to go for his walk this evening.

clearly I'm an anti pet tosser. but I'm happy that I choose not to share my home with a different species.Ā ThoseĀ pet owning tossers who feel the need to do otherwise are free to do so.Ā To each his own
We had a dog, my husband, a firefighter, rescued a dog from a fire too young to leave its mother. At the time, we had two ginger toms.Ā As they do, the RSPCA told them to get lost so all the pups were taken home by the fire fighters . All died but ours. She imprinted on the catsĀ and did cat like things, but frequently got into trouble for her efforts , being a dog. Many's the time we would get a knock on the door "Your dog is out on the upstairs windowsill" Ā I'm pretty certain that the first few weeks of a pet's life are vital. If you get it wrong, you're in for a lot of remedial work. Same with children, but later. Train a child to change their own nappy and you'll never have to pick up after a teenager.
