Just noticed "fuballs" blush I have no idea what they might be!

Possibly, anno or even behind the ears, but I'm especially sensitive to that little spot between my shoulder blades!wink

If I scratched you under the chin would you purr?

Ana I do have a propensity for the odd frantic scratch, but was putting it down to my eczema!blush

No fuballs though grin

And the sudden frantic scratching and the coughing up of hairballs! grin

Aw, so funny phoenix grin. Nowt wrong with having the characteristics of a cat, apart from the public bottom licking of course smile.

Pretty much Auntieflo although it can be a bit of a close call when I run blush Not that I do that often, as the desire to chase mice hasn't manifested itself yet.

Can I adopt you if you should come up for re-homing ? You are house trained I take it?

Er, yes I think you should. ?

That is so witty.

I can't add anything to that - I am too busy laughing gringringrin

I know it is often said that dogs look like their owners, but to my alarm I have noticed that I am starting to share certain charcteristics with my two cats! shock

Take Digby (no, don't because I love him dearly) he has rather short legs, check, his tummy is becoming increasingly large and wobbly, check, (although thankfully mine doesn't cover my feet when I sit down) he is often to be seen looking confused and gormless, check, walks into the kitchen and doesn't seem to quite remember what he went in there for, so has a few cat biscuits while he's thinking.

Now, I can't put "check" after that one, but I do have the "what did I come up here for? Oh well, I might as well have a wee while I'm here" problem.confused. Digby also has the habit of gazing adoringly at Mr P. Whilst I don't gaze adoringly, I do look at him often, for various reasons including "Did you really just say that?" and "You are a grown up, please learn the difference between the floor and the laundry basket"

Also whilst I don't exactly share Digby's lustrous glossy coat (see plastic bag on head with olive oil applied post) I must say my whiskers are coming on a treat! blush

Given also that left to my own devices I would happily spend a considerable amount of time "relaxing" I think you may be able to get my point.

I can identify with some of Oliver Sprouts foibles too. A bit clumsy,check, although I keep ornament breakages to a minimum by avoiding stretching out on windowsills or attempting to walk along the mantlepiece grin. Friendly and affectionate, check, but so far I have managed to refrain from rubbing against visitors legs.

High standards of personal hygiene, check again, but personally I prefer having a shower to sitting on the bonnet of next doors car, with my leg in the air while licking my bottom.

Do you think I ought to get myself microchipped?
