Hello everyone

[dinahsmum]

It's quieter here than dogweb isn't it?

I'm owned by a blue point Siamese and a dark tortie cats home moggie. Both are mature girlies, 14 and 16 respectively.

They have just experienced a severe change of life - our old dog died in May, we've just aquired a pup. We are all coping...but it's different for the cats, despite the pup being really quite good with them (most of the time).

I don't think I'll have lots to say on cats, but Azz persuaded me to register and now, if there is something I think I know the answer to, or if I need any advice myself it's all set up.

Hi Dinahsmum :smt039
Welcome to Catpages!

Yes its a lot quieter here, isnt it! I think cats tend to do their own thing more, unlike dogs who have to be excercised etc and also dogs appear to get more things wrong with them.

I have a tortie moggie, Cassie, as well, she's 7 now. I'd be interested to know if yours have any 'spiteful' behaviour habits?!

Sorry to hear you lost your dog but I'm sure the cats will get used to the pup eventually. Of course they are grown up girls now, aren't they? They are probably finding the pup a bit boisterous at the moment! :lol:

Glad Azz persuaded you to come on here and we will look forward to hearing from you again. :smt039

Hi Dinahs Mum! and Welcome to Catpages! :smt039

As Mags said I'm sure the cats will get used to the pup, it does take time... Cheetah still hisses at Rocky!!! (poor Rocky he just wants to play!).

Here is a pic of them when shes actually being nice to him!

Please post pics of your cats.. I love Siamese! :-)

[Mags]

Really luv that pic Azz......it would make a brilliant calendar photo! :smt052

[Azz]

Yeah.. imagine if it was a before and after competition lol :shock:
(jus to wind people up!)

[Mags]

:lol:

[dinahsmum]

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Azz (or is it Raze....I have the feeling we have cyber-met before!) beware of Cheetah being spirited away - by me. She is too gorgeous for her own good.

I've found some pics, a good one of Min and a c*** one of Tizz, really taken to show off a roaring fire but she crept in at the edge.

They are good girls and get on pretty well. They're not inseparable or anything like that but are usually to be found in the same room.

Min appears to be 'helping with xmas cards!

and here's Tizz testing the thermic (?) output of the fire

Hope that will help introduce me. Nice to be here.

[Mags]

Aww! Min and Tizz are both gorgeous! Funny how cats always find the best places to 'chill out' isnt it :)

Wot a smashing fireplace you have! :smt023

[Azz]

They both look stunning! And so does the fireplace!!! :-)
More pix please!

I'm still Azz on here Dinahsmum... it's a bit quieter here (but I may have a namechange soon!).

;-)

more pix more pix more pix tho! :-)

U too Mags!

[dinahsmum]

Thanks Mags & Azz

We love our fireplace too. Won't be long now till we have to oust the fern that's been sitting on it all summer and start stoking up. It's fabulous - 6 or 8 logs between 4pm & bedtime and it's tropical in our house. Our gas costs £9 per month!!!!


Anyway, what I really came to say is here's a pic taken an hour ago, showing our new family getting on well. 2nd day in a row that Min has joined the pup on OH lap. Must be progress. She is also quite happy to steal from the pup's bowl whilst she is eating. I think we are a happy family once more!

[Mags]

Awww, that's so sweet! And just look at that beautiful face on the pup, she's so gorgeous!

Min looks as though she is making sure your OH knows who is Number 1 ! :lol: Glad they're all beginning to accept each other now.

BTW, I wouldn't mind your gas bills! It must be so cosy having log fires!

[Azz]

thats fantastic! £9 a month!!! good for you, and I bet its soooooooooooooooo warm and cosy :-)

Love the pic - both animals look content and happy! :-)

More pics please! ;-)

hi Dinahsmum

how do your lot get on together?

[Naomi]

Wow fab pix DM (and Azz)

I like my open fires too. Paul's opened up the fireplace in our house now it's just a case of waiting to put the fire in.

It's fab having an open fireplace, it's so cosy and it heats the whole house.

[Azz]

I love em too :-)

[dinahsmum]

......but the weather is so mild and wild we haven't even thought of lighting the fire yet! Last year we'd used a load of logs by early December and had to get a second load in for Christmas....and a third to finish the winter.

Shouldn't complain.

it is lovely to have the logs burning - better than TV! and it's so efficient with the log-burner - all the heat into the house instead of up the chimney.

Nat - they get on fine. The pup now knows -'leave the p***ies' - and does!

[Mags]

mmmm! Log fires at Christmas time......I feel quite envious :)

[Azz]

Take pics for us!!

[Naomi]

I love going up my MIL's for xmas cos they have their fire going and it's sooo cosy. She's got a massive floor cushion and in the afternoon after xmas dinner the kids curl up on it and fall asleep in front of the fire.

It's so realxing, just listening to the crackling of the wood on the fire.....*Nae's gone into dreamland*

[Mags]

Sounds just like heaven! 8)

[dinahsmum]

Still so mild we haven't needed the fire on. Nearly lit it a couple of nights ago when we had a power cut but no.

Have made a token gesture and put a lit candle in the fire..........suppose we'll light it properly sometime soon but i'm not wishing it to get colder.

Will take some 'blazing comfort' pics in due course - probably with cats in front!

[Naomi]

That'll do DM don't mind cats in the piccies :D

[Mags]

That's good DM - would like to see pics of your wonderful fireplace in all its glory :)

[Emma]
