Fortunately he will lick petromalt [hairball eliminator paste] directly from the tube.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-16414476497215060562015-12-14T15:56:16.795-05:002015-12-14T15:56:16.795-05:00Likewise here, although I'm not a fan of Chris...Likewise here, although I'm not a fan of Christmas full stop. It seems to have lost its real meaning somewhere along the line.<br />All I see is greed and money making and I do not like it.<br />I see what you mean about not baubles or fancy ornaments etc, our home is as clear of all these things as possible and most surfaces are easily cleaned. <br />Good thing as today we have cleaned up 3 lots of hairball upbringings and Rupert has been sick probable because he also has a hairball, but we duly clean it all up as we love them all so.<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-37311621677319651242015-12-14T08:53:40.238-05:002015-12-14T08:53:40.238-05:00Hildred; I expect that 'Rebel' is charming...Hildred; I expect that 'Rebel' is charming beyond his tendency to disrupt plants--it is why such creatures continue to live with us.

My problem with tablescapes is that my husband will set things on anything with a flat surface. I don't think he understands decorating any more than the cats do! <br /><br />We used to have a huge Boston fern on a stand that one of our cats thought was the perfect napping spot. They are funny animals.<br /><br />Hugs<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-88745886575181125532015-12-11T19:37:09.874-05:002015-12-11T19:37:09.874-05:00I have to say that Miss Kitty is a doll about touc...I have to say that Miss Kitty is a doll about touching nothing of the Christmas decorations.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-71627619782353245022015-12-11T15:03:08.147-05:002015-12-11T15:03:08.147-05:00Ah yes, the usefulness of Cats as Ornaments!

I am trying to reclaim the little tile-topped trolley which is over the veg baskets, by putting my big mixer and scales on it, but STILL the boys remember being fed up there and insist on jumping up on the last few spare inches to beg for grub!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
