My darling, precious Callie Alley Gal Pal how do you manage........
To still miss the target of a litter box the size of a baby bath?
I get that you are a mature lady of generous proportions (no, I didn't say you were fat!) but this particular container is twice as long and wide as your body.
And OMG cat you STINK

Horrid did a disappearing act this evening. Convinced myself I must have not locked the cat flap / left a window open. Nope! Just taking a random nap in his brother’s toy box!

Rodriguez Catto has seriously blotted his copybook now. Got up at 0530hrs as RC was tramping all over me demanding "Fooood!! Nooow!!!" Got up. Delivered fresh expensive wet cat food, checked biscuits and replaced water. Went to change and disinfect litter box and discovered shards of porcelain behind it. These were the remains of a pair of lovely candlesticks which were given to me twelve years ago by the Director of Children's Services when I retired from my professional career. RC had obviously levitated to the mantelpiece over the iron wood burner and swatted them off. One was still intact, the other not. I'm so cross with him. There's no point in telling him off as the deed is now done.
I've put the remaining candlestick on a low shelf, cleared up the shards of the broken one, washed, disinfected and refilled the litter box and retreated to my bunk with tea and a current bun.
I play with the wretched creature every day, he's let out daily under close supervision unless it's pouring with rain or the river's too bumpy. He's groomed every other day.
He's nineteen months old. He's "supposed " to be settling down by this age. I've had colts who've given me less trouble than this dratted cat!

I slept through my alarm today to be woken up by elder kitten repeatedly biting my arm to check I was alive. Came downstairs to find that she had dug up the corners of my new carpet in the lounge. I then went into the kitchen to find that younger, semi-feral kitten had kicked half the contents of the litter tray over the floor (she is still getting used to living in a house). That will teach me not to get up on time.

biological washing powder or gel diluted in warm water works to get the smell of urine etc out and shouldn't damage fabric if you do it gently by hand

We have a carcass somewhere in our living room. We kept smelling death, but never found it. No doubt I'll uncover a mummified rodent one day.Found mouse bit under the bed ... M has been on box rest for 6 weeks so goodness knows when he left them there. Really should check under the bed more often.
Found another ancient mouse in a suitcase under the bed which I had tucked my wedding shoes into. Now my shoes smell vile
For those needing deodorising/smell hiding scents, I recently used my homemade Frankincense eau de toilette (perfumer's alcohol and frankincense essential oil) to dissuade my young stressed cat from peeing in the wardrobe. It seems to have worked and I can't smell cat pee, there!

I love my cats, I love my cats, I really, really, really do love my cats.
Though my feelings for them was a bit temporarily dampened this morning. After an already bad night's sleep, I was awoken 2 hours before my alarm went off by simultaneously a cat landing on me after jumping from the windowsill behind my bed, and the very loud bang of one of my few remaining pot plants falling down the gap between the windowsill and my bed, and landing on the floor.
I knew what pot it was, but I just didn't have the energy to immediately go up and deal with it all the leca/"clay balls" + soil I knew would've fallen out of the pot, and spread out all under my bed, so I decided it would just have to wait until I got up, and then I went back to sleep. Except it's the type of pot that have a decent sized water storage compartment in the bottom, and I forgot that I'd watered the pot like the day before yesterday.
So when it was time to get up this morning, I sat down my feet in a pool of water coming out from under my bed over the old wooden floor, even though some spots in the floor was doing its best to soak up a lot of the water.
Dad and I was supposed to have to gone and done our weekly food shopping before noon, so that we would have time to eat, and go to our daily visits to mum at the hospital from about 15 to 19. At first, with a big bit of time-optimism, I thought that maybe I could move my bed + a whole lot of stuff around my bed, dry, and clean up the floor quickly, and maybe still have time to do the shopping, and instead of eating at noon, maybe eat at 13.
I had clearly repressed how many leca is in such a pot, and how much time it can take to clean up a fallen pot plant mess. It also didn't improve the situation that the pot had managed to fall so that the water compartment emptied out completely = the water maneged to flow about 2 metres or a bit more across the floor, in under a dog bed (the cats still use it), which of course had soaked up some of the water on the bottom side of it. So the dog bed also had to be cleaned, and put up to dry.
The cats had also played with some of the leca, spreading leca and a bit of soil out over the floor, so I felt I had to scrub the floor a bit to clean up everything. Then go over it a bit quickly with some clean water afterwards to make sure all the soap was gone.
The cats of course did their best to "help" me, and oversaw all my work, and in the end it took me about 3 hours. I only had time to hastily eat a very late lunch, before going to visit mum, and we will have to do the weekly food shopping on the way home.
But I do love my cats, they bring such joy to my life.
Most of the time.

I have a ragdoll X that loves to climb, hunt and remove things from the shelves, the CD/clock/radio has been knocked of so many times it no longer works. Clothing is taken off hangers, if the door is open even slightly she will pull clothing off of shelves,and every morning there are the remants of at least two small animals, in corpse corner.

I have one of those cat exercise wheels for my 2 indoor cats,. They love it and use it all the time. On occasion, as cats do, one or other is a bit sick on the wheel. They usually stop, look a bit non-plused, and wait for the slave (me) to clean it. Not today! R was sick on the wheel (most of her just eaten breakfast) and decided to just keep going, in fact to run faster. Cue the sick being sprayed across the room, all over the floor, up the walls.... I love my cats, yes, I really do love my cats, of course I love my cats... I think....

blatant favouritism! He avoided me for 3 days whilst I was sick apart from to stand on my belly for food, steal my toast and fart 
the minute OH is sick he remains by his side keeping vigil leaving only when I rattle the bowel. He does however seem to pee on command now. I plopped him in front of his litter tray, he runs away, I try again and say ' M you haven't peed all day have you’. He pops in and has a racehorse wee He wrapped another vet around his paws this week who was happy with his progress and seemed more concerned with his plaque than his pelvis

Today she’s spurned her more usual choice of one of the more sheltered shelves full of rugs, and instead has picked on the IDx’s supersized massage pad. Wasn’t switched on, though 
. Luckily the horse had already had her daily session.
Ruddy horrible wet day, this is where she’ll be found during the day if she’s not indoors.

*whispers in case the cat hears*
Thursday is cat’s annual jabs and senior health check appointment.
Phase one of pre visit prep is to dust off the travel cage but not overly clean it, it must smell familiar.
Phase two is to start feeding cat in the travel cage. As we all know, it’s much easier to entice a cat into a travel cage rather than to try and stuff an unwilling feline in one. Got off to a good start tonight.
Back up bribe is Dreamies, I made a special trip to Sainsburys today to stock up.

Cat was a model citizen for her vet visit apart from:-Good luck! (said in a whisper
1. Totally refusing to pee prior to visit in the special non absorbent cat litter so no urine sample to take in.
2. Complaining loudly all the way there and all the way back in her covered cage.
She coped very well despite me nearly being taken out from behind by a loose Doberman while we were walking from the car to the waiting room. I was carrying her in her crate at the time - thank goodness it’s a sturdy cage. I posted about that in the ‘irresponsible owners’ dog thread.
Vet has identified a sore area around her back teeth on her left side, so she’s booked back in for a non urgent dental under GA and possible extractions next month. Vet seemed slightly surprised that I agreed to that straight away, but if the cat is sore it needs dealing with. Will cost just over £500 but you have animals you must care for them.
It was the same vet who had checked her microchip when I first took her in a a suspected stray in 2021 and who helped give me clues as to where to ask though she couldn't tell me upfront because of GDPR.
Cat before and after vet visit this morning, she was her normal friendly self back at home.

I think I’m being watched 
.
It’s nearly 5 o’clock, you know.
Tea is slightly late due to the ongoing thunderstorm which worries the dog a lot, and also due to me having been watching Blenheim XC on the telly.
None of these excuses pass muster with the cat.
