Getting the car moving again coincided with Jayne getting paid, so today saw one or two rash purchases in town while I was working, leading to an entertaining few minutes at home this evening as we tried to get Scar and Rojo to model their new scarf and santa hat.

Ferrets
August 3rd, 2009 · Comments Off on Ferrets · Life
We are toying with the idea of getting a pet ferret after seeing a bloke taking his ferrets for a walk in Croydon at the weekend. They appear to be adorable, affectionate and entertaining but really I know nothing about them. Specifically I don’t know how well they get on with cats. Anybody got any […]

Copycat

Rojo is avoiding us a bit at the moment. Earlier on today we noticed a lump at the base of his tail and rushed him to the vets, where we were told he had an abcess there. Now I know what that is like – although I didn’t get mine from fighting in the streets. […]

Getting worse
May 11th, 2009 · Comments Off on Getting worse · Life
I worry that young Rojo may be turning into a problem cat. His fondness for water and getting wet generally is quite amusing – it really is fun to see him hop into the empty laundry basket and pester us until somebody pours a jug of water on him, but I don’t think it is […]
Foxed
May 2nd, 2009 · Comments Off on Foxed · Life
Chrystal reckons she saw a fox in our road the other day. It shot out of a bush and crossed the road.  Nothing unusual there so far, the good bit is that immediately after this my cat Rojo shot out of the bush in close pursuit. I am impressed. He hasn’t even brought home his […]

Shameless
April 19th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Life
Young Rojo seems to have no shame. His favourite position for relaxing, and even sleeping is on his back with legs spread wide, and losing his testicles hasn’t changed his habits at all. Photo included for proof. And he is still fascinated by water and loves getting wet. There is something not right about him, […]
Down at the doctors

It was the big day for young Rojo today: his appointment with the vets to get neutered ((sounds so much better than ‘castrated’ doesn’t it?)). To be fair, he took it all very well – a lot better than I would!  He seems less bothered by the sudden lack of knackers than by all the […]

A good day?
March 9th, 2009 · Comments Off on A good day? · Work
If its a work day then I reckon its a good day if you finish more things than you start, end the day with fewer e-mails in the inbox than when you arrived in the morning, and leave the premises without doing any unpaid overtime. By those criteria today was bloody awful, but I still […]

In the wars
March 4th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Life
It looks like young Rojo has got in his first serious scrap. This evening I noticed what I though was a sore patch on the back of his neck. Closer inspection showed it to be a huge great wound – a large chunk of hair missing, revealing pink, wet flesh. We’ll keep an eye on […]
Cat Scratch Fever
October 29th, 2008 · Comments Off on Cat Scratch Fever · Life, Technology
The other day we had another merry-go-round with mobile phones. Jane is now back with her original white one and I now have the black one that was originally Chrystal’s and then Jayne’s. The reason was that the black phone was not ringing and Jayne kept missing calls. She figured that a non-ringing phone was […]
