Well meet the gang
Cobnut 6 weeks old and calming down well (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F10%2F27%2F8fef28a00a93e0007865ded0644fea55.jpg&hash=fd29441488ff262f4319570d16b02d0328b95f09)

Today has been not unlike like that Python Batley women's guild re-enactment of Pearl Harbour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcSMaNlcDPs)
The new two cats met the ginger kitten. Things went bonkers with growling, hissing, dabbing with claws and general chasing each other round the rooms. Peace seems to have returned, maybe cos we locked the littlest back in his cage where he has gone to sleep knackered

I was asked for an update
Two weeks on all 5 of us are still alive :thumbsup: most of the house is still intact (bit catlit whiffy at times sick2:) but since we let the eldest two have full house access not much sleep is being had
Turns out these are our 7th, 8th and 9th cats. Which makes Cobnut/Gismo our own Seven of Nine (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0a/SevenofNine.jpg/250px-SevenofNine.jpg) rubschin: A Borg cat scared2: Anyway we're going to try and upgrade him from fostered to adopted this weekend
I was asked for more pics
Peace is breaking out: (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs12.postimg.org%2Funend5mix%2Fi_Phone_Steve_IMG_2937a.jpg&hash=3896a4aa035bfabfb3eb7ae655efd23acd02a765) (http://postimg.org/image/unend5mix/)
And Cobnut/Gismo/Seven of Nine is growing but still as cute (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs12.postimg.org%2F55w8tk4sp%2Fi_Phone_Steve_IMG_2941.jpg&hash=9c2df2a426577cee1d37574213a800229efee3bf) (http://postimg.org/image/55w8tk4sp/)

Well the scary bit is we left them at 11 and won't get home til 6
I can also say there are nicer sounds to wake up to than Pippi breastfeeding from Bonni at 6am right by your face
And they remain adorable

Well today is the day it might worry young Cobnut
Had to starve him (and so the others overnight) and took him in for the Op first thing. Now waiting for the call to go pick him up.
All 4 of us are missing him already cry:

He doesn't seem too fussed. Tucked into his food as soon as we got him home. In the land of Cobnut food, fusses and finding ways to wind up the other cats are his priorities. And we're not going to tell him any better

As for the shrew yes but at least it got a chance. It's surprising though how some animals do survive. Often an issue with cat inflicted injuries is internal bleeding or infection.

Cats that are spotted bringing vermin into the house are themselves at risk of internal bleeding or injury.

I was informed when I first did the Brighton gig that the cats will not drink water if they witness you filling the water bowls directly from the tap. They have to be filled from a little watering can (which you fill from the tap).
I tested this the other day. Waited till they were watching and filled their water bowls from the tap. Protests scared2:
Emptied bowls, filled can and used can to fill bowls.
All well again

Tap water has chemical traces from the treatment process that the cats can taste, even when it has passed through Baldymort's all singing all dancing osmosis pump. Water that's been left for a while, such as a pond or a pool will have picked extras that makes it taste more natural to the discerning feline. :thumbsup:

Tis absolutely true. All our cats have only ever drunk pond water, filtered water or water that's been in their bowl for days
IMHO it's the Chlorine they hate, we certainly do but all the time there's Evian that pond ain't getting drunk by us

Had to take Cobnut to the vets. £50 eeek: (abscess) . . .
Another £70 cry:
Had to get up early to take him back to vets as 'abscess' not going down so they had to sedate him to 'investigate'
Picked him back up 5 hours later, seems it's something else and he'll need continued antibiotics (= £££) Thank F he's insured
he's been generally moaning ever since because we won't let him out but he's got junkie eyes right now. He's also decided (yet again) that the lit tray is ideal to roll around in even after Pippi has used it for its more normal purpose. Nooooooo noooo:
