I love him dearly but.....

Hello all, usual good wishes!

Well, as the OP says, I truly do love him, but wish:

He would wipe his feet (a mat is in place) and not leave prints everywhere

Not be so damn clumsy! Things on the table should stay on the table!

He would not make such a mess with his food confused he is surely old enough to be able to eat without making a mess!

Not interfere with the way the curtains hang, they are fine as they are.

Leave the cushions on the sofa alone, ditto the last 6 words above.

Refrain from bringing home things that he thinks I might be pleased with, which I then have to tactfully dispose of.

Feel the need for displays of affection at odd hours of the night, when I was happily asleep. blush

Make such a big thing of blatantly washing your (ahem) nether regions when we have company.

Oliver Sprout, you are a dear cat, and we do love you, but there is room for improvement!

Thank you for a much needed giggle!

Thank you Pheonix - thought you were describing MY husband......I have read it out to him.

I'm so glad I got to the last bit!
You'll miss him when he's gone! When my elderly furry friend uses his litter tray he likes to give it a kick so that the floor has little sprinkles of gritty litter on the floor - I keep a long-handled brush and dustpan on stand-by for regular sweeps.
Thankfully, he's a hopeless hunter.

You never fail to make me laugh Phoenix - still smiling!

thanks for the laugh

???. Oh dear I was trying to visualise the washing thing, thinking what on earth does she mean?
Very good Phoenix a much needed laugh.

GrandmainOz Sun 17-Mar-19 07:34:38

Haha dear phoenix I have my own companion who behaves in an identically antisocial manner! Her Majesty is called Magpie, otherwise known as "that d#$% cat again! Get off"!
The laugh was welcome. I just had a browse on mumsnet for the first time, after hearing it mentioned on here. What a grim, judgemental place. I have retreated back here in relief shock

nfk I feel a bit queasy now ??

Doodle Sat 16-Mar-19 21:49:45

I think your frivolous posts go down well with all of us who “know” you phoenix. We look out for them and enjoy a good giggle. Long may you carry on with them and cheer us all up ?

NfkDumpling Sat 16-Mar-19 21:48:43

Thank you Phoenix

(DDiL would add - not leaving mouse intestines on the floor outside the loo door in the middle of the night. Eeeuw!)

phoenix Sat 16-Mar-19 21:43:36

Thank you all for the responses, and glad that my frivolous post was well received!

(I feel that a bit of frivolity doesn't go amiss, especially with what is currently going on)

RosieLeah Sat 16-Mar-19 21:35:27

Had me fooled there, especially the bit about intimate hygiene. What have you got planned for April Fool?

Doodle Sat 16-Mar-19 21:18:22

Really phoenix have you not taught oliversprout to use a bidet ?. Lovely bit of fun. Just what we need.

Deedaa Sat 16-Mar-19 21:09:16

I'm a bit disappointed phoenix I was trying to imagine Mr.P washing his nether regions in company and wondering exactly how he would do it. grin I had a lot of help making the bed this morning (it involved a lot of claws!) and I usually get a smack on the face at 6am because somebody wants a snack.

Grannybags Sat 16-Mar-19 20:55:26

You had me for a while there! Was a bit jealous about "displays of affection" I have to admit...!

Urmstongran Sat 16-Mar-19 20:50:26

That made me giggle phoenix as you had me there! I was thinking ‘gosh, she’s a bit harsh on him’! Heh heh.

sodapop Sat 16-Mar-19 19:47:57

Made me chuckle Phoenix and why do my dogs fart whilst sitting near a visitor. I see the the guest's face change and realise what's happeningblush

nanasam Sat 16-Mar-19 19:46:48

Brilliant, you had me fooled until the very end! grin

65clare Sat 16-Mar-19 19:44:51

Thank you did make me smile - I’ve been married a long time!

Jessity Sat 16-Mar-19 19:43:31

Loved it, I too was concerned about washing his nether regions!

No idea how you dream up such priceless posts but please continue.

dragonfly46 Sat 16-Mar-19 19:35:31

Got a bit worried at washing his nether regions in public grin

MacCavity2 Sat 16-Mar-19 19:19:32

Ha ha, you had me there until the washing bit. Very good.
