Hi Chantal!!!! Beautiful cat!!!!

Chantal

Sorry guys, been a bit busy and not looking on here Embarassed

Yes, my avatar is my beautiful cat Rosalita (Rosie) who has just celebrated her 19th birthday. She rules the house and I'm going to face bankruptcy by having the central heating on far more for her than either me or my husband. She's very thin now and really feels the cold so spends most of her day sleeping beside a radiator. Rolling Eyes

Nights are spent cuddled down the duvet with me to keep her warm. But hey, what's money compared to keeping her happy. Very Happy

Kathy

Awww bless, she's lovely and I quite agree you need the heating on for her! Very Happy

Welcome Chantal and Rosie. We do spoil our pets don't we. I'm a right old fuss pots with my cats making sure there in at night etc!
Look forward to hearing more about you and yours Very Happy

It's my cockerel Rocky who's been causing me the most problems recently. He was hand reared and in fact lived in the house with us for the first four months of his life after being battered as a chick (by his mother!). He had serious neurological problems for some months and was a star gazer, although you'd never know it now.

He still wanders in and out of the house when the door is open although mercifully only one of the girls tends to join him. He's now very big and sex mad so my poor girls are almost feather free. I put coats (saddles) on them and he just ripped them off, so I was going to try the baked potatoes on the spurs thing ands give him a manicure, but have instead found him a new home in Worcestershire. He'll have a flock of around 25 girls, 6 acres of semi wooded land with fox proof electric fencing and should live the life of Riley. I'll be very sad to see him go as he's very beautiful, we've been through a lot and has a huge personality, but it's for the best.

Rosie is very pleased to hear the news as she's dictated no less than fourteen letters of complaint to my husband about having to share the house with the "cockroach" as they called him. Laughing

Libby

Oh he is indeed very magnificent, how great that you have found him a new home!
