Sadly, no cats, no dogs. Over the years, really, my movements have been a bit too erratic, too much time away, to make it practical. I ’spose I could now, but I’m really too set in my ways, which don’t include pets.

She is indeed a Shiba Inu! Not many people know the bread, despite them being so internet famous lately

Sometimes I do wonder… I’m not 100% convinced that she isn’t a cat!

      Anyone else trying to train their dog to make coffee??
      Think I need to get her a step or something!

      Probably the bit I miss about living at home most! Current landlords won’t let us have pets.

        DavecUK they reckon the place is too small. We have a small one bed mews house so I can somewhat understand it but neighbours also have pets and think it’s big enough for one cat, they don’t need much space.

            IntoxNitram Perhaps if you let them know it’s a cat you want, they might be fine with that, as opposed to a dog, noise/barking…which is why they may have simply put a no pets rule.

                DavecUK did ask specifically as the contract mentioned the need to request pets, the rights of which wouldn’t be reasonably withheld. My grandma had an older cat that needed rehoming when she moved into a home but we were told no unfortunately.

                  This will be the one and only time I will post in this thread as I DO NOT like cats. Forever having to clean up a lot of cat poo in my garden and one time getting it in my mouth has probably got a lot to do with it. As for dogs…too expensive (food, vets bills, insurance) and too tying. Plus they die and you are very sad. Or, you die first and are not found for a week and if the cat is in the house, it will eat your face off…ungrateful B******s!

                  Sorry all you dog and cat lovers out there.

                    My cat only goes outside on a lead…cos he has 3 legs, my previous cat was blind and also only went out on a lead….you would like them.

                        Has he lost his 4th leg due to an accident?

                        May I introduce our desktop cat? She is called “Félix”, despite the fact that she is female, now aged 13. Her mother was a European Wildcat and her father was the neighbour’s white Tom cat. Then we lived in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland, next to the French border.

                        In her younger years she tried to help me typing:

                        Later, grown up, she still prefers my desk:

                        The freshly carpeted staircase in our new home also seems to be quite attractive:

                              He was chewed up what I think must have been a dog attack…because of his reaction when he hears dogs barking. He was a stray and found by the RSPCA. His leg was almost off and they were going to put him down, because of the infection, he responded to antibiotics, so they removed the leg and shoulder.

                              Then his pelvis was crushed, tail crushed and damaged internally, they still considered putting him down, but again he survived. His tail can move slightly, he has trouble going to the toilet for number 2s and his digestion isn’t good, he is sick once or twice a week., sometimes he can go 10-14 days without being sick.

                              He is a very good cat though and my faithful little buddy, I am happy to look after him the best I can.
