Week 11 Bingo and Bongo

Week 12 Bingo and Bongo

All I can say is that Bingo and Bongo continue to steal toys and
in the last two weeks we have acquired 7 which are in the
photo set.

Bongo has been injured twice due to fighting. Left back paw
for which I had to take to the vets and a massive welt to the
left of his anus but since he is already on anti-biotics I resisted t
he temptation to take him to the vets again.

Other than that they continue to be the greatest company
and I wouldn't change them for the world.

Over-eating Bongo

I got up this morning to the most piteous of cries from Bongo. He followed me around everywhere I went and I ignored him at first.

Eventually his cries pierced thru my consciousness and I bent down to comfort him and he was just oh so stressed! So stressed! In what I associate with a mother trying to comfort a screaming child and failing, kind of way!

I was beside myself. I decided to get the next train and spend an extra 20 minutes with Bongo and Bingo and by the time I left 4 work he was still crying and I'm sure he wanted to follow me out the door! This is unusual of Bongo who is usually the more reserved and aloof of the two.

It was on my mind and thru out the day I mentioned it 2 a couple of people and suggestions back & forth were a) get a timed food tray, b) feed them once a day in the morning, c) feed them less, d) don't worry - cats are sick sometimes, and so on.

Neighbours do call me though questioning the fact that they are out and about and sometimes letting me know that they are eating chez them! I don't want to encourage this so I have to make sure there is food out for them at all times. How can I put them on a diet? Bingo is slim and I would suggest the more active of the 2 with a higher metabolism and needs to eat! (I suspect he is the one making friends of the neighbours as he is the ultimate attention seeker). I digress...

I rushed home and was greeted by both cats as I usually am and as if nothing was wrong. My strong reserve ended very quickly when the 3 of us entered the kitchen. I put the kettle on 4 tea and went to change into my walking gear and when they realised that was all that was happening the "screaming" began and it just gets into your very skull until U CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

I relented. The two empty bowls were now filled with Whiskas fish pouches and the reigning quiet that followed as they munched their way through yet another meal was more than welcome

Cats Stolen Toys - Week 9

I guess if there is one thing I have learned this week is that just because toys may belong to someone else, does not mean they are dirty, rotten, nasty as I had previously suspected.

Other pets toys do however demand inspection before they become a permanent fixture Chez Ufot!
