She’s always been a sturdy girl, even as a kitten with paws like a Shire horse.

I’ve added a picture of my poor starving cat. Yesterday morning, I put a clean bowl down for him, and was just about to open his breakfast sachet, when the phone went.
I wondered what the rasping noise was, looked down and he was obviously so starving (yeh, right!), he was licking little a bit of dried jelly off the floor that had been dropped the previous supper time.
Wasting away, so he is........
And yes, that is a full bowl of dried cat food just behind him.

Mine is seriously fussy, he'll stop eating until you put something new in his bowl.

Heres my oldest jack unfortunately his nine lives ran out in September, by goodness had the silly old fool used them. Oddly enough there are alot of people shuffling off the mortal coil id be less upset about seeing go. He was good age mind 14, had a ginger pair of brothers before him the largest squeak ran away when he was 7 as we took him to glasgow on to my grans for the weekend as we couldnt get anyone to feed the and always being an outdoor cat he insisted on going out unfortunately never came back. His little brother bubble lasted till he was 18 then did a captian oats, passed away peacefully though we were told. Then had an all black kitten to keep jack company called bug got run over unfortunately when he was a year old.
And now we have slinky who like most girls has issues but dosent quite know what they are so is very i love you i hate you.
And now we have a new kitten called harris to keep slinky company which guess what she really aint happy about. Dont have a picture of him as i havent met him yet.

Never really been a cat person, when I was about 10 apparently I saved my younger brother from losing his eye to one, it had seen the flames from the coal fire flickering in brothers eyes and made a claws out dive at his eyes which I managed to kick away in mid air....I must have been a lot faster when younger.
I have now inherited half a cat, well it's mine when mother has a lie in (lives next door) and it decides it is about to die from hunger so comes and taps on my window because breakfast is 5 minutes late, I have to get the key, trail around and feed it... I think theres only one idiot in this game and it's not the flaming cat.

You need to adopt my Mum's approach. If we didn't eat what was for tea ["I don't want/like that"
, every kid tries it on 
] it came back for you at the next sitting when everyone else was having something else. Amazing how quickly kids learn. It'd be different nowadays, of course - someone would phone Child Line. 
But let's not get OT.

That cat could save your mother's life one day, if she didn't get up one morning the cat would alert you.
When a friend's cat wants letting in sits in the garden and waves its paw.

Megan, our b&w lump has rattled the letterbox knocker before to get in. She’s also made a mess of the garage door frames as a scratching post asking to be let in, often sits bumpered up on my welding chair looking like an oven ready turkey.

It probably already has and I am being honest.
She went down when the old fella died about 3 years ago but at least had the dog for company, the dog died a year later and you could tell at 92 she was losing interest, I went to animal rescue and got a two year old that was mistreated, walked in her house threw it on her lap and said... here look after that.
She is back doing three half days a week at work, gardening and driving...the miracles of a pet, although when you hear her playing hell because he is pestering when Coronation street is on I sometimes wonder.
This is him doing the starving to death act trying to get her up to feed him before her soaps finish.
Dogs have owners, Cats have servants.I think theres only one idiot in this game and it's not the flaming cat.
When I was a kid me dad ended up putting a big blob of blutac on the letterbox knocker to stop the cat doing that trick whenever it wanted to come in.
