No it's ok! Lurker Cat is old (I think, she's a rescue and I've only had her a few years) and tbh it's something useful to look out for. I tried rubbing her down with a damp tea towel and she was distinctly unimpressed

We had that a few weeks ago, and it lasted for days. I was wandering around with a throbbing headache waiting for the storm to break.We've not had hot hot weather today (I'm currently on the sofa with a blanket) but it feels like it's fixing to thunder. I'm not sure if it's the high pressure or what but I feel like I'm brewing a migraine and/or a big cry. Send emergency crispos.
Our heatwave is now predicted to last into August. Send SPF 50os.
I was going to say, if I tried to bring anything damp anywhere near my rescue cat she’d scalp meNo it's ok!

I think I’m going to try @MaineCoonMama’s trick but my cat will only stand on wet towels if she thinks it was her idea. I haven’t introduced her yet!
When I got her she was about one and a half and had been kept in a cage her whole life.
She’s calmed down a lot recently after I got Cece (I think she feels safer with a younger cat around).
Vets have told me before that she has ‘the most pathetic nose they’ve ever seen’ and she snores and sniffles a lot but it doesn’t seem to bother her. Another vet called her ‘damaged goods’ which I got angry about.
But she’s a very happy cat and rules the house! Her absolute favourite treats are chips (she doesn’t get them often but tries to bat them out your hand
) and anything creamy/buttery/cheesy.She’s got so much sass 🤍
daphne is so cute!
tried a frozen towel on Madame bear today, which she’s usually ok with but she acted like I was rubbing manure on her

Daphne is a beauty! I am pretty sure Lurker Cat is a British Shorthair mix because she has the classic squashed face, she sneezes a lot too - often right in my face which is delightful. How rude of that vet to call her damaged!!I was going to say, if I tried to bring anything damp anywhere near my rescue cat she’d scalp me
I haven’t introduced her yet!

View attachment 1424637This is Daphne! She a British shorthair and her breeder got rid of her because she has a little dimple in her nose, which meant that she got silver pedigree not gold

Years ago, I had a cat who used to go out in the rain, get soaked, come in and jump all over you, yelling, until you rubbed him down with a towel. He would then go out again
Both mine do that! They love it!
Oh yeah, Daph has been known to sneeze in your face and it’s very wet
My mum stayed over the over week and she got woken up by Daphne drinking out of her glass of water then doing a very wet sneeze right in my mum’s face lmao
Daphne you are fabulousI was going to say, if I tried to bring anything damp anywhere near my rescue cat she’d scalp me

Ugh, that's wretched. I'm hoping it breaks here tonight so I can get some sleep. Heatwave into August sounds a lot tho, blimey!
One of mine loves loves loves to play with water, to the point where he’ll get soaked, and the other one regularly jumps into the shower when me or OH are in there and just sits hanging out in the water (as we contort into a tiny corner to wash to avoid getting any soap on him)
Daphne is GORGEOUS!
One of mine used to come back soaked through on dry days, we worked out that he was going into the Clyde because he started bringing back water voles the absolute hole.
Blameless fanThank you, that’s really helpful. We do have a blameless fan (completed it, mate
Quoting myself like a twit because a blameless fan is actually quite amusing
Poor little Jupiter kitten cannot deal with this heat, taken out by a weed, he snoozes.
(A kittens for sale sign is now up in the window of the kittens house, so tempted.)
Ah my girl has been flopping herself around all over the place. She tries to make herself as long and stretched out as she can, looks like a draught excluderIn response to the car stuff, Lurker Cat has taken to lying on the floor looking sorry for herself...I'm going to hope that's cos of the heat and not because she's about to kick the bucket
Beware the weed, it looks like ragwort, which is carcinogenic
Do it! Do it! Do it!
Nooooooo! I have no time for kitten nonsense!
Congratulations, and great happiness to you! What a terrific achievement. You sound so proud of your profession - and by extension, be proud of yourself xI got a 2:1 today and have been put forward to join the NMC register. Fraus, I’m a real nurse
We have this celebrity cook/chef, Donna Hay. She peaked or skyrocketed into fame and wealth in the late 90s. My friends and I met her just before her first book launch (she was so excited) so we always act like she's our best friend. Donna Hay (unlike some slebs, she's always spoken of with both her names) did the choc bar in hot milk and, honestly, it was EVERYWHERE for three winters. People would set up little "hot chocolate" buffets with bowls of honey, nutmeg, different types of chocolate etc, and cinnamon sticks for stirring.Oh that might be it! Whatever it was, I was never allowed them because I might have accidentally swallowed the bubblegum!
For warm drinks for a cold frau, the best I ever had was this Spanish hot chocolate that a friend brought me. It was like a bar of chocolate, and you just break a bit off and melt it in a pan with milk and whisk it a bit - heavenly.
It's only just occurred to me what wankers we were. Snigger. It was so fun
Eta: PS my hot chocolate buffet was set up on my round, worm farm, with a cloth thrown over. I'm really laughing now
She is beautiful, I love her and please, Daphne, accept a treat chipI was going to say, if I tried to bring anything damp anywhere near my rescue cat she’d scalp me
I haven’t introduced her yet!
