Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Littlepeahead]

My old cat, Cromarty, was the master at letting you put the pill in his mouth then pretending to swallow it. I once sat there for 25 minutes watching him before he skulked under the table and spat it out when he thought I wasn't looking.

At 4am Iggle ran into the bedroom, wet from playing outside in the rain, sat himself on my throat then batted my face with his soggy tail. He seems to think this sort of affection should make me happy.

Pill Gun for Dogs and Cats available from Pets at Home. £2.50. Works by placing the tablet at the end of the syringe and using water to push the tablet to the back of your cat's mouth, encouraging it to swallow.

I have one of those - but it relies on you getting the cat's mouth open in the first place. That is the problem I have, even if I can wrestle them into a position they cannot move they are not opening their mouth. Not a chance.

This. Getting the cat's mouth open is the issue for me too

I am on the cat forum, aren't I?

Wife found kindle in two seconds flat. Despite me moving and looking exactly where she found it. How is that even possible?

Kenzie, that is what's known as having a boy look. Happens frequently with my other half.

My own fault, I should have bought a bigger house with 3 bathrooms.

I know what i would do Tim, install a loo in her bedroom

High tech, one of them posh saniflow ones with a macerator

Medium tech a chemical toilet

Low tech a bucket

Why some kids think they can dictate to their parents is beyond me.

Time to relocate to your man cave Tim

Traffic. I've been driving to work because of being on crutches. Every day various bits of road are gridlocked. Yesterday was around 7 hours of driving to spend 6 hours in the office. I got home shattered. The journey is less than 60 miles, if I don't have to take tiny B roads and back streets because there have been 2 big accidents in NW London and the M25 had twenty mile tailbacks. Of course I'm still paying £480 per month for my train ticket that I haven't used for 2 months. They only refund if you are made redundant, not for injury or illness.

MRI results today. Fingers crossed, toes too.
