But the cats & dog don't seem to mind, and I stay clear of humans...<br /><br />SWB: My son fights a losing battle daily in trying to get that cat to lose some weight. It's the force of her personality, I reckon!<br /><br />K in B: She's called Tosca; it's traditional to this blog that she's always referred to as the dog. She answers to anything though.<br /><br />Von: have done, and left a message on the other blog too.<br /><br />S&S: I was taught that it meant IF you feed a cold, you'll starve (ie kill off a potential) fever. I live by this excellent rule!<br /><br />M: Just get a cat (pref. two), for heaven's sake! Put a large noisy bell on its (their) collar(s) and make sure the area round the feeder is open so that birds can spot anything creeping up! Your lives will be enriched beyond measure....<br /><br />P: Thanks. I agree about Spring!<br /><br />L: Let's start evangelising for more cat households. No home should be without a cat!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-5167568216518598862010-01-10T10:09:50.258+00:002010-01-10T10:09:50.258+00:00Your household always sounds such fun (if a little...Your household always sounds such fun (if a little manic at times). <br /><br />To Marie and Todd - we have a bird table with several feeders hanging from underneath as well, and Rupert has never gone for them (well, not with any success, anyway). He's an older cat, but still very agile, so I don't think it's that he's slow. I read somewhere that birds act as look-outs for each other, so maybe the fact that we always have lots of birds feeding is what helps protect them.<br /><br />Incidentally, one cat can be just as much a slave-master as several! Rupert says the training is more specific!!!Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-9811889298827402972010-01-10T09:31:29.534+00:002010-01-10T09:31:29.534+00:00Hope your cold is on the mend now.

I do miss having a cat so very much! Todd fears that if we were to get one, it would see our bird feeder a bit as a drive through feeding station and so he is against our having one... but I would so love one. Especially an orange one. I love ginger cats the most of all.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-56995211452366674082010-01-10T08:19:45.547+00:002010-01-10T08:19:45.547+00:00Get out more and do what ?
