Supplies Day

The mogs and pooch are happy tonight:o)

Today was 'buy pet supplies' day, so we have lots of pet food, treats and pine scented cat litter for the week.

Anyway, Junior and I decide to visit a supermarket on the way back (Morrisons). We like it there. You can buy stuff in reasonable quantities...like a wedge of watermelon instead of a whole one, sort of thing. All at reasonable prices. I'm all for being reasonable.

So we are toddling around, looking for ingredients for vegan dinners that I'm set on trying out. A sales assistant dances around in the alley and announces that 'everything in the baskets can be bought for 9p per item!) Yikes!! So, we have ended up with a trolley load of very nice fruit and veg:o) Apart from coconut milk and soy sauce, we are sorted. Then, in the chiller dept was yet another sale.

Result:- lots of nicies for the pets...basically chicken and ham, of which some they've had for a treat tonight.

Our tea tonight cost 71p! (stir fry and veggie bolognaise with left over stew from yesterday and a veggie tomato and mozzarella bread.) Finished off with a chocolate trifle (19p for 3). We are ALL pogged.

Lovefest

Today we took delivery of an ionic flea comb, courtesy of our local Betterware lady:o)

I had been warned that these are crap (after I ordered the thing!)

Anyway, it arrives. We pop in two little AAA batteries and off we goes:o)

I thought that the high pitched noise might spook the cats and that they'd turn tail in the opposite direction once they spotted the device....but no... they LOVE it. They were lining up to be combed..... nudging, purring....a proper little lovefest we had:o)

Didn't find any fleas, which either they don't have any (should think so, with all the Frontline I buy) or the comb is indeed crap!! lol Still, daily grooming with the thing is now on our 'to do' list and we shall see how we get on:o)

I would put piccies up of the mogs rolling around in happiness/gay abandonment but camera says memory card is full and I haven't the foggiest how to delete some of the piccies so I have room for more. Shall have to toddle off to see local camera shop guy for help.

Loo and Bart

Bart hogging Jimmy's chair. Still not unpacked boxes and bags in the background. Oooops!

LooLoo with her 'sour' look!!

We have plans to build a cat run at the back of the house. This will mean that the mogs can go 'outside' and I won't have to worry about them getting hurt, flattened, chased by dogs or poisoned by cat haters!! lol

First need to drag big bro down for the 'digging out' bit. I'm working on him:o))

THE MOGS

Bart-Ginger and white boy. Big lad, little meow:o) Snoozing partner of Tinks. Very cuddly. Always looks scruffy. Olive's first born:o)
Henry VIII- Black and white. A cute, active fellow who loves Cilla. One half of the Chuckle Brothers. Eighth kitten in the house, hence the 'title'. lol Olive's no 4, after Meg's 4.
Honey Pot- Black, big round eyes. Well trained by Junior. Besotted with one another. She is Megan's daughter and quite titchy.
Jimmy - Tuxedo and getting on a big. Bit large around the waistline. He is Mother's cat but he has to live with us. Lives a life of luxury, thanks to Mother. Likes tuna and sleep:o) Very quiet gentleman who is no trouble at all:o) Junior's charge.
LooLoo- Black fluffy. Expert at balancing on dining chairs or anything beam like. A delicate little soul.. She is my pick from Olive's first litter (but we kept them all..how could we choose?) She has the tiniest of miaows but is steely in determination when it comes to fussing her. She won't let you stop with the fussing and stroking until she says so!! Olive's second born.
Megan- Grumpy of late. Entitled to it. One of the matriarchs. Junior's No 1 cat. She came to us via my brother, who rescued her, together with Popeye and Olive when they were 6 weeks old.
Muppet- Feral and elderly. Still gives us a run for our money!! She just HATES being inside.
Olive- Sweet, tri coloured, fluffy. She lets me sleep in my own bed! A dedicated mum. A bit potty and her waistline seems to be expanding to Garfield proportions, even though she runs around alot. Had her from a 6 week old. She was attacked by a dog when she was 12 weeks old and had to have her jaw and palate wired up. Thought we were going to lose her, but she's a brave little thing. There's just something special about her. She's my favourite because of what she's gone through. A bit naughty, though. She takes great delight in tormenting Spooky and Muppet, who just don't want to play!!
Popeye-Daddyo:o) Sweet natured and loyal. Black shiny coat. Very strong...he can headbut a heavy dog crate to escape outside!! I often wake up to find him snoozing beside me. All protective:o) He came here at 6 weeks of age and now is a handsome lad.
Ringo- Talkative Felix lookalike. Sweet. Likes his own bed and is the other half of the Chuckle Brothers. He has an almost Siamese miaow. Has soulful, beautiful eyes. When he decides to give you a cuddle, he plonks himself on you and won't budge!! lol He is Olive's no 5.
Spooky-Muppet's sister. Very talkative and cantankerous! You can hear her up the road!! She likes to pad on your knee.....ow!!!
Tinkabelle-brindle coloured. Sweet, slender and trills for England! Snoozing partner of Bart. She is absolutely hyper!! Loves looking out of the window. She, Bart and Olive are the fly catchers and can often be heard jumping up against the garden room windows in attempts to catch the little creatures...which are, unfortunately, usually on the other side of the glass! lol Olive's No 3.
