Give your cat Felix "Good as it looks" and Canin anti-hairball dry food and it will lick the dish clean and might even take some of the paint off.

Right, it is nit in focal point, but seems to be sitting on point "G" (point on the surface of the dish where LNB should be pointed) :rolleyes:
Santa brought us new pet today. I offered to name it "Sirius" and everybody agreed. I just have some doubts on destiny of our other 4 pets- hamsters :-doh

Mouse!

My 'humane' trap at my cottage (seems like there's a zillion mouses this year), am trying to be kind to small useless creatures, relocating them in the woods somewhere :O) but have been wondering if it's the same mouse that comes back a dozen times ! Will soon have to start tagging them to be sure lol+++

Somewhere in England (possibly?)!
"Taming" cats is a long and sometimes painful process - 9yrs ago a very skinny little B&W adolescent cat started kipping in our conservatory - probably because our other B&W cat often sleeps there in his "box" and his dry cat food was in the kitchen, and the little one just would not go away - in hindsight that was because he had nowhere to go. Then he would occasionally come into the living room and it was obvious that he kinda wanted to stay, and so, finally, we started to feed him cat treats - and that was "it"!

He stayed on, and after a lot of "training" (especially not to claw/bite!) he finally got very attached to SWMBO, and now, about 4yrs after that, he has become an absolutely lovely little Puss - I called him Scruffy because that's what he was when he arrived, but now he's a very pretty looking feline. He's very intelligent (for a cat!) and with very big eyes, especially when he attempts to "stare you out" (most cats won't do that), and he has/will boss the much larger old B+W cat (not surprising, the old cat was always timid and so just plain "thick" that I often call him Dimbo!).

Both are happy to eat most meaty/fishy things except anything spicy or heavily flavoured (especially the older one) and Tuna in Spring Water (but not brine or oil) goes down very well. Scruffy has also taken a liking to anything with chocolate in it, and so SWMBO's chocolate muffins and the like, and also anything she is drinking from, have to be "well guarded" when he's around.

Only downside is that he has a heart murmur which means he needs expensive (£1/day!) tablets every day, which is where the tuna came in - otherwise we would have no fingers left it we had tried to put them down his throat :(.

Lots happened in my pets activities since last post in this thread. This morning was a special one.... A body of hare discovered in the yard. I feel sorry, but can do nothing in this situation :( I have made lots of pictures of remains of mice and birds, but this is first time hare is found.

I was greeted with a dead wood pigeon and a garden full of feathers this morning and I do not have a cat or a dog.
