I never trod on it, nearly skydived down the stairs trying to avoid it though! Oh bless it. Were you able to revive it then? It would have made a nice pet. Now you're just being silly  |

it was stone dead sleepy! Have I told you about the time I begged my Mom to let me look after the science lab rats over the school hols. She bumped into me carrying them proudly home from school. I asked her if she wanted to look at them and whipped their covering off. Mom was thrown back into a nearby garden hedge in terror and demanded I took them back to school.

I you really want one as a pet I reckon I could probably lay my hands on one for you. |

I think fancy rats are ok, very clever! But any other kind are just dirty, incuding roland rat, and stuart little.

You wish! Common as muck and with revoting habits they are. I don't care if they can recite Shakespears sonnets and make divine flapjacks. Dead dead dead. Oh, hang on flapjacks......hmmm.....

He gets treated to a tin of value tuna every week and squirty cream at christmas, I cant help it if OH has gone off chicken! As for the collar I think he looks very dapper, 1970's game show host chic! Not sure that I would fancy tuna and squirty cream together :  |

Look at this gorgeous beastie - he's a Geoffroy's cat - pictured at Banham Zoo yesterday - I have a feeling he'd make short work of the rodent hordes round here.....  |

I know what you meant sugar plum, those glass viewing windows are terrible for that. You just made me realise that eldest was in the picture!
My grandson was nose to the glass (yuck, all those smears.....) , nearly eyeball to eyeball with a cheetah at the zoo....it makes you worry...how strong is that glass? I remember Harry Potter and the snake too....

What a beautiful cat!!!I wonder if I can borrow him for a bit - our neighbour's latest obsession is terrorizing our cat if she ventures into his garden.I've seen her come flying back over the wall a couple of times really upset with tail fluffed up.Yesterday we heard 'CAT!' and there was a kerfuffle and back she flew, I'm sure he's doing something to hurt her. If Banham Zoo is interested in hiring that big cat out I think our neighbour would swiftly move from the sudden cat obsession to some other silly fixation.  |

Oh no! You live to a cat hater......I hope he's not being really nasty to her. You can't control where a cat goes. You're not lucky with your neighbour are you? I hope he doesn't object to chickens too.....

He did say ages ago he had no problem with chickens. The last people who lived in this house had chickens AND a cockerel with no neighbour problems so if he's got a problem with our girls it's going to have to be good......... He's got his own cat who terrorized our cats when we first moved in. It helped to break the cat flap on chasing our cats inside, ate the cats' food and on one occasion was glued to our bathroom window hissing at the cats inside. At last our Snowy had enough and faced up to him - we don't see him any more.  We have NO luck with neighbours. We seem to migrate towards bored old troublemakers who have turned moaning into an art form. It sounds like we could be at fault but I know we aren't - they just wreck it for EVERYONE  Moan over - see? It's contagious.  |
