Ouch, indeed! He's just a youngster, right? Yeah, good luck with the eye drops! Our Holly (estimated to be 14 or so) is a chronic "snuffler" so I use pediatric nasal spray twice a day for her. She doesn't like it, but she tolerates it.

[[deleted user]]

Yes Jean, he is 15months! We adopted him from a rescue centre... So well behaved and a really lovely boy. His owners gave him up and he had been brought up in a home with lots of dogs..(we have a very friendly, placid dog) so they contacted us and asked us if we'd take him on trial..

It took him about a day to settle in!

Now he is the boss!
And we all love him to bits!

[Christine]

Always scary going to the kitty ER. We are kind of frequent flyers. They gave us some free medicine once for that reason. What is your boy's name and what's he look like Kim? I hope he gets better soon. Our guys are all rescue too.

[[deleted user]]

Chris, his name is Diesel. I've just put a few pictures up on my profile if you want to see.

Our dog is also rescue. I love rescuing.

Just had my hand sliced trying to put some drops in! Thankless task... :(

Any tips from experienced cat owners?

[Christine]

Kimberley, the secret is SPEED. No coddling. Just do it. FAST!

How about a water pistol?

[Christine]

Oh David, you are such a guy!!!

[E.]

Wrap them tightly in a towel like swaddling.

:~) Our dog is so placid, I think we could insert contact lenses, never mind drops.

Cats are a different kettle of fish.

That's good too, E.

LOL, David!! I would love see you try that!

[E.]

And like Christine said, speed. Sometimes the "getting ready to do it" ritual tips them off.

[[deleted user]]

We are trying the towel!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Chris! I will try!

[[deleted user]]

Lol E! I know exactly what you mean!!

[Christine]

You have a real shot what with another person there, Kim. And don't let him see the bottle when you approach. And have the lid already off. Part of the SPEED.

[Christine]

Geez, I just think "vet" and my cats dive under the bed. How do they do that?

[Sean, Moderator]

Hard work and difficult Kimberley, can add to food when normally, but not in this case.

I'm afraid a few scratches!

[Christine]

That can be rough, Stephanie, depending on the kitty. I did fluids for 4 years on my old granny kitty Little Red, then twice daily on my Topsy for almost 2 years. They were pretty cooperative, thankfully.

[[deleted user]]

We've done it guys..

My partner put a coat and gloves on lol!
He held him and I really quickly squirted the eye drops in!

Thank goodness we only have to do this for a few days .. He really hates it!

[Christine]

That's so great, Stephanie. It can be so hard as they don't understand why we are doing those ghings to ghem. I think my girls just decided to trust me that it must be a good thing.

Way to go, Kim!!! You can do it!

[Christine]

Awesome, Sharon. Got any special plans for that week?

[Sharon]

Nothing major probably crossfit and do some stuff round house

[Christine]

Sometimes the around home vacation is the best.

[Groovy]

As I was watching Wimbledon, between breaks they would show the giant wheel called the "Eye", I think. The people inside were standing and walking around. The cars look the size of bedrooms. I would love to ride it. Has anyone here ever been on it? Is it scary or fun? How long does it take to make a complete circle?

[Jean]

E! I just watched the pet movie trailerL LOL!

[Sharon]

I go away in october for two weeks this is just a wee break

[Amber]

My Sunday was too damned hot for me to walk to the pharmacy to pick up my Lisinopril refill.

I haven't been to London for a number of years so haven't been on the eye sorry :)

[Sharon]

I used to wrap my cat's up in a towel, like you would swaddle a baby. Make sure the cats feet are all inside the swaddling. Like Christine says, speed is key too.

Clipping nails went a lot easier using this system also. Just pull out the paw needed, clip, then return the paw inside the towel and pull out the next one. There is a learning curve but it helped me.

they just happen to be the ones that were in at the time - I just took back an s.j. Bolton am reading a j mcreanor (I think that her surname) and I also read Kathy reichs lisa Jackson lisa gardner linda fairstein janet evanovich mary burton to name a few lol it does work fairly balanced it just really depends who has what out when

[Groovy]

Wow, Sharon, that's impressive. Excuse me, you are very equal opportunity:) Happy reading!!

[Sharon]

thank you :) am always like a kid in a toy shop after a visit to the library never know who to start with first

[Jean]

I know what you mean!

It should take about 30 minutes for one revolution, and the view from the top is amazing. I say should, because when we reached the top, there sounded a loud bang, like a gun-shot. We were shocked to see a massive crack in the curved glass, and I pressed the intercom to inform the staff. They had us back down within 5 minutes, by speeding it up. Those in our car were compensated, but I don't believe everyone else was.

I would go on it again though :~)

[Groovy]

Oh my goodness, wow, David. I bet you guys were scared to death. But I also bet the ride up and down was exciting:)

[Sean, Moderator]

Oh Dear....nasty.

I am not keen on heights, but I have been on the London Eye twice, he moves so slow you hardly notice, and lovely views.

Once day time, once evening.

[Sean, Moderator]

Just to mention Tom Wood is answering questions now on the " Q&A with Tom Wood"

I do hope he gets asked more questions!

[Sean, Moderator]

fine

[Aymen]

Yesterday i watched my first movie in English with no French or Arabic Subtitles, and i was surprised because i understood the whole thing! I think reading English books and chatting with you guys helped me a lot so thank you :) Aw, yes it was "Divergent 2" by the way, Amazing movie that made me want to read the book series.

[Aymen]

Thanks Aaron :)
