@ copycara. My cat Mackie had huge problems with his bladder about 4 years ago, passing blood on a couple of occasions and becoming very unwell. Male cats with acute bladder problems are considered to be a medical emergency as they are prone to bloc…

@ val. Thank you for your info. I trusted my instincts when I saw that Skeeley was not right. When I 'phoned my vet and they asked for symptoms, I was unable to pinpoint any. All I knew was that my beloved cat was not right. Thankfully the reception…

I hope that I am not tempting fate, but Amber ate a reasonable amount tonight. I have tried everything,as I did with Skeeleys, really posh cat food, ham, tuna fish, and liver sausage, all of which they adore, but Amber finally decided to eat some ca…

@ detritus, Now look, when did Finsbury Park last have Seals in it's pond? The only thing that I used to find were sticklebacks. Are you sure that you have not bludgeoned a few sticklebacks? If so, you will need several hundred to make a pair of bo…

@ miss annie, Huge apologies to Mr Potter, and thank you for the info on this unusual taxidermist. As you stated he was certainly unique.Thank goodness some Victorians had some respect for animal life.
-
@ Arkady. Yes, I saw this exhibition at the Jamaica Inn. I still say that it was awful!!! You say that once an animal is dead, then who gives a shit. Well I disagree,those animals did not have a choice. They were killed purely to provide the vict…

Kester is virtually back to normal. She is eating and drinking and for the first time in over a week, she has burrowed down under our duvet in the middle of the night, to get between us, purring, for a cuddle. Her sister Amber is still not well. Sh…

@ jak, Oh jak, That poem has made me cry so much. I am so very very sorry. We don't know each other I know, but I am sending you huge Hugs and a lot of Love via the web at your loss of Dearest Charlie. Friends will suggest a replacement, but now is…

@ChangN4N6, I hope that it does fade and die out completely. Whilst I can appreciate the Art of Taxidermy, I cannot condone what the Victorians did to Animals, especially the domestic kind. Not only were they killed specifically for the 'art', but t…

@ Don't look now + Jak, Thank you for your much welcolmed comments. Hope that you do not mind the graphic description, but at 2.30 am, Skeeley vomited undigested food and 2 quite large fur balls again. This morning, she was as bright as a button, wa…

@ don't look now. Little Skeeleys, thats my cats name, has deteriorated today. She is going back into vet hospital tomorrow for further investigations. It worries me because she gets so stressed. Don't look now, I just want to cry,
-
@Wisteria 53+ Dont look now. Only just seen your comments, thank you for your thoughts. Had to rush my little cat to the vet on sat am as she had suddenly deteriorated overnight. Her temp was 105.1. The vet wasted no time and put her on a drip, ant…

When I lived in Fonthill road in the 60.s there was an RSPCA clinic nearby, everything was free, and I was grateful for that, although I cannot remember which road. Sounds like it no longer exists. Had to take one of my beloved cats to the vets tod…

OOOh Blackberry and Apple Crumble. served Warm, with Thick, Rich, Clotted Cream. Now this is the Creme de la creme of puddings.

Heard on the radio that the government have sanctioned the use of water cannons. Would have thought that cannons loaded with the type of liquid 'fertiliser' that is sprayed on our fields would be far more effective.

@ Misscara.Sorry to hear about your bites, you poor thing, but did you actually see the spider biting you? I react in the same way this time of year with gnat bites. These little sods make life absolute hell!!! However, If you are sure that it is a …

I can only imagine what you guys at SGR and surrounding areas are going through at the moment. To all of you, please take care, and keep safe!

Whilst I do not want not want to put you guys down with negative NHS experiences, and yes they do happen. Can I tell you my day today as a nurse in an NHS hospital? I had not even started my shift before a patient shouted abuse at me. The next patie…

Cannot believe it! Listening to radio 2, and they are playing Riverman again!!! Does this mean that we are in for a Nick Drake revival? Hope so.

@ Marquis, sorry about that abrupt end, pressed the wrong bloody key. and now it reads like a Viz comment!!! Seriously though, the hairs are an irritant, but the spider rarely bites, if they are used to being handled.The bite is supposedly like a b…

@ Marquis, have to say that I am a spider fan too, but did draw a line at actually handling my brothers 'pet' tarantulas as if they get stressed, they shed their hairs

@ADGS Thank you, found the story, it was 'Where's my Cow! Thud would make a Great film I think, and it would have people sobbing down the aisles! With that in mind, who do you think should play the part of Vimes? I vote Michael Caine.

@ADGS, loved and hated The Last Hero. loved the story, hated the fact that Cohen + co were no more. Yes I have the illustrated book, and the illustration of the bits of wheelchair et al in the snow saddened me. Pratchett really knows how to tug the …

@ Misscara, don't be too hasty about getting your garden shipshape. I know exactly how you feel as my garden is in desperate need of sorting, however, how do I explain to the nesting wrens that neatness comes before nurturing? My hedge needs one he…
-
@ADGS, I understand what you are saying about Pratchett, but I like the way that he gets the reader to think outside the box. We Pratchett fans can get too comfortable with the earlier books and their characters. I found it quite hard to leave the f…

Haven't read any of the 'Beauty' Books. By the sound of them, I am not missing much. Think that I will stick with the Vampire novels and proceed no more. Shame, but I do not want my illusions of what I consider to be a brilliant writer, shattered. …

@ theworkhouse. I am so sorry that you think that this Forum is rubbish. Do you write for another Forum? Could you explain how yours is better than ours? Would love to hear your comments.

@ hannadala, so nice to hear from someone who also loved the books. What I really loved about the book 'Interview with a vampire', was the way that Anne Rice looked at both sides of what has always been a one sided story, despite the fact that Vamp…
-
@ Hannadala I absolutely loved the novel 'Interview with a Vampire'. I was inspired to read it after hearing the song by Sting 'Moon over Bourbon Street.However the film did nothing for me. Sometimes I think that it is better to leave things to th…

@dorothy.Many thanks for telling me.I shall stick with my childhood memories.From what you say, It is a bit like discovering that Father Christmas does not exist.Now I need to decide what else to take to my Island.So I take: The Day the Earth stood…
