I really recommend one of those little, hand-held carpet shampooers. I've got a Bissell Pet Stain Eraser and, despite Poppy's best efforts to stain every soft surface by puking on it, there isn't a single mark. A lot cheaper than either a new, wipable surface OR a new saddle!

I keep coming back and laughing, go Ted 
. Both must be some of the hardest to catch? Squirrels are pretty feisty and to have both intact and whizzing about is just a class act all round .

My previous cat specialised in squirrels. Thankfully, he'd eat them all except for the tails, which he liked to keep as toys. It was my job to do the weekly clear-out of the garage, and there were usually three or four tails in there.I keep coming back and laughing, go Ted

My start to the day was hearing the cat throw up - turns out she was in the utility area and (it’s the most I’ve seen) is on some saddle cloths waiting to be washed but, most annoyingly, is all over my Lister clipping bag 
. Goodness knows how I’m going to get that clean. I’m going to have to take everything out and see if I can wash it

Sunday afternoon I got home from the yard to find one of the new feral kittens (they just appear, the older ones must tell them where the food lady is) almost unconscious on my back patio.
Little black one with white feet. On Sat evening he had barged into the kitchen to attempt the dogs food (sides of bowl were too high, very confused collie dog no deterrent at all..) so I knew he had been previously spunky enough... Somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks old I think, tiny little thing.
Rang my OOH vet. He asked me was I serious about a Sunday call for a tiny feral kitten which wasn't even conscious. I said yes while he was breathing he was worth a try. He reminded me that while they neuter the feral cats for free, that doesn't extend to hospital stays etc.
Luckily the actual on call vet was a much more sympathetic lady called Molly and I was able to bring him to her a couple of hours later when she got back to the surgery (surprised he got that far tbh, kept checking him in the little box I put him in and he was just about breathing). He was floppy and barely alive but managed to bite Molly while she was looking in his mouth... So we both decided it was worth a shot.
His glucose levels were undetectable and pretty much everything else was bad too, but she started him on steroids and antibiotics and glucose and rehydration fluids.
She brought him home with her on Sunday night
and kept up the medicine. Rang me on Monday morning to say he had made it through the night and had woken her with his cries that morning which was great news.
He has continued to improve and I can bring him home tonight! Bit more nursing still to do but if he likes people at all then this one can graduate to the house
So what did the cat do? Well, he has prob cost me a fortune BUT he came back from the dead... Name suggestions welcome! Lazarus? Jesus?

The much-missed Freddie Mercury would love that. He had many cats, and apparently adored them. They were all buried in his extensive gardens. I hope whoever buys his house respects their resting places.

Not one of the cats, but cat food. I buy Felix AGAIL from Amazon on their subscribe and save, one of the sachets of a 40 sachet box has exploded and sprayed every other sachet in there. I pulled out tonight's quota and got rancid cat food all over my hands. Now myself and my entire house stinks of rancid cat food, which is a much worse smell than *just* cat food. I have a pile of sachets I've washed down and they still smell 
or maybe I still smell.

Not what the cat’s done but rather what a cat owner’s done.
A friend’s cat went missing. A week or so later she was driving along a nearby road, saw a cat, thought “it’s Dougie!” and screeched to a halt.
She duly bundled the cat in the car and, cat loose in the car and duly ricocheting off the ceiling as they do, she drove back home and unloaded the cat.
Her dog - who grew up with the cat- wasn’t impressed with Dougie’s return. Neither was Dougie impressed with the dog so mayhem duly ensued, whilst my friend text her daughter a photo, saying “Look who’s back”!
Her daughter instantly replied with “that’s not Dougie. This is a photo of Dougie”.
Wrong cat.
So back into the car the impostor was shoved and driven back to where she stole him.

My mum’s neighbour once buried a cat that wasn’t hers thinking it was
.I had a “should have gone to Specsavers” moment when I spoke to my cat on a neighbours wall, only to find her fast asleep on the sofa when I got in.
It‘s easily done!

It's been raining a lot in Sweden lately.
My beautiful, sweet ball of fluff Fröjdis decided for a short while to increase her repertoire of prey she can catch, to also include earthworms.
Fortunately they're apparently not as fun when they're no longer swimming around in a puddle.

When you're running late for work after cleaning up the decapitated rodent head, the large pile of entrails and the partially eviscerated mouse when he comes in soaking wet and muddy and deposits a live tiny rodent in the kitchen

This little b....
The same one that vomited under the bed once...
Cat decided to go outside for a bit since I was out there faffing about. He then ate some sort of plant, came inside and vomited under the sofa!

The late lamented Burmese used to drag his live feathery prey in through the little porthole in the wheelhouse. Then murder them and eat immediately. No need to cook - they were still warm.
Nature red in teeth and claw, and all that!
