Ashleigh wrote: "His excuse is because they just die eventually"Well that's a bit weak. I can't wait for mine to die, the moody old bitch - cats last forever if you look after them right :P
Also thinks she's much prettier than she actually is.
Saw Angus & Julia Stone perform live tonight, something Ive wanted to do since I was 14. Perfection.
Ashleigh wrote: "His excuse is because they just die eventually"Ouch. Terrible excuse/10. Why buy a house, it'll be knocked down eventually. Why go on holiday, it'll be over eventually. Silly. Typing this right now as my gorgeous cat Benny is asleep between my legs, love him.

talking about pets, and rescue dogs etc., this is huge news in the UK today. It is all very sad, but absolutely amazing how everyone is rallying round:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-...
Oh, Elaine, I read that, too, and wanted to cry. And all because a 14-year-old psychopath-in-the-making decided to start a fire.
Well, there goes my good humor on the Saturday morning. A lump in my throat and anger as I read this story. That little sh*thead! Someone should give him a good burn!
@Liam. I think you secretly love Tally; we've all seen the photo of her on your bed that you posted. Tally is a great cat name, where did it come from? I want to save it for my next cat, do you mind?

Liam she is gorgeous and love that look she is giving the camera
Our lovely placid pure white cat was hit by a car 6 months ago but we still have Nox, a vey naughty, cantankerous black 2 year old cat.
I love cat people
Mod
I wonder if you were to bring a little "stray" kitten home would he let you keep it? That's worked on many occasions:)
Mod
Looks like a new one might be in order on return from holidays Phrynne?
Mod
Do it Ashleigh! You know you want to;)
Mod
@Ashleigh. Do what all kids who live at home do. Promise to feed it, clean up after it etc so that it doesn't bother your Dad. or Tell your Dad that you are just so lonely and need something of your own to love.
Right now, if I were you, I'd ring a taxi, go to the pet shop, buy kitty and a box, food etc and get taxi to bring you home! You Go Girl!
I'm packing my devil cat Tosca with her box under one arm and her food under the other. I'm attaching her ticket to her collar and popping her on the train right now, haha:) My Poppy would be so relieved.
Mod
Sounds like you'd better address her to Ashleigh Bette;)
Ashleigh, I've had several elderly cats die since I was a child and loved each and every one. It took us a year to get over our last gorgeous 14 y old puss when she died and feel ready for a new one but I wouldn't be without our two lovely girls now. They bring so much fun and love into your life and are great company when you're home alone. Your local vet probably knows someone looking for homes for kittens so try giving them a call and and dragging your Mum round to see them :)

wrong, Liam, she's so beautifully feline she makes me want to own a cat again....

How awful. Makes you wonder what causes a kid to do something like that :(

Oh she has an attitude alright.

Full name is actually Metallica, Tally is for short.

Did you click on the original link Michael? Not one in a "reply" post....it's still working for me:)

Great to see that the generosity of the local community. All of that because of a highly disturbed teenager."
Yes it's a pretty sad case - fifteen years of age, it doesn't say much for his future...

Yep. Our local dog rescue drove a van up to Manchester yesterday absolutely stuffed with doggy things for the survivors. Today is our local fun dog show day, so we are entering Marvin in a couple of extra classes that he has no hope of winning at all, just because the money raised is going to our local dog rescue - so it will help them a bit now that they have given so much stuff away.

Good on you Elaine....hopefully all will turn out well. Have a great time at the dog show:) I bet Marvin will;)
On a happier note, I have just come back from seeing The Hundred foot Journey with Helen Mirren. A charming film not peppered with sex scenes and language. I enjoyed it. A feel good movie.

"I... I have three... child-cats."
Mod
I enjoyed that one too. I'm off to see The Giver this afternoon.
Remember reading the book of that years ago when my daughter did. Hope you enjoy the movie Mish.
Mod
Mish?
Mod
I think I might enjoy it more than Mish:) - unless she's going as well of course!

Lovely looking puss :)

I just watched the first two parts of Outlander and am very impressed, I haven't read the books so don't know how well it holds up? Anyone else watching it??

Anyone else watching it??"I've been watching Julie and I think it's pretty close to the book but you really,absolutely must do yourself a favour and read the books. I haven't finished the series but what I've read so far I've loved!!!

Lol...Elaine, I'm not sure there's enough reading hours left in me for those and my TBR pile!
To quote Maggie Smith in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel..."I don't even buy green bananas!" ;)
I'm off to the Gold Coast tomorrow for six days. Taking my 10 year old son and my Dad to celebrate his 70th Birthday. Will also be meeting up with a good GR friend so starting to get a little excited now. Although I am a little anxious about the flight. Not sure how often I'll be checking in here but look forward to catching up with you all again in a week's time. :)

His birthday is actually in December but it's an early birthday present/celebration as it's just too hard to get time off work in December.
Mod
Happy holiday Elaine!! It's fantastic at the Gold Coast and the weather should be lovely! Have fun:) x
