Jane Llewellyn said...

Yes.. they ARE right little sods aren't they? If I weren't so fond of them, they would get a right what's for;-)

Hi Lilith & welcome:-)
I couldn't resist, that's the problem;-(
Sam is now a regular part of the household.

Hi Di.. my cats aren't so bad on the computer, they're way worse if I'm reading the paper.. it drives 'em mad.
Enjoy the G&T.. I should join you, its hot as Hades here:-(

Jane Llewellyn said...

45Govt.. I won't be bringing 'em for a visit, so un-twist your knickers!

LJ
This post should be called
"I NEED A HUSBAND"
NO HUSBAND = CAT OWNER
Mother Hitch has cats.
I started out hating them and the feeling was mutual, now we have an understanding, they dont bother me and I dont bother them.
Give the fat one its due, it tagged a squirrel and a mouse last month, downside, I have been bitten by fleas after feeding it and the other one.

Jane Llewellyn said...

Quite right Hitch! And if I do get married, I'll boot the little buggers right out;-)

Hang on.. I luv the little f**kers.. forget I said that!!!

Jane Llewellyn said...

P.S. Mine catches little tree frogs and brings them (live but stunned) to my bed, whereupon LJ SHRIEKS and jumps out, only to rescue little TF and put him back in trees. Same goes for lizards.. but I have a harder time touching those.
It's only Sam that does it - thank Gawd - and I am trying my best to dissuade him without wounding his pride, poor lad.

Jane Llewellyn said...

Hitch, are you living with Mother Hitch then? Just wondering;-)

Daisy said...

lady jane...never kick out a pet for a man...the pet is more faithful, stays longer, always comes home, and if they do talk back you don't know what they are saying so it doesn't matter anyway (well that is the same as a man but the others apply)

Jane Llewellyn said...

I was just joshing Daisy.. though, I HAVE kicked out a MAN for my pet.

(My ex knows of what I speak;-)

Daisy said...

oh my dearest lady jane i was not insinuating you would...just wanted to post the information...i'm a bit off today...just bear (yes i spelled it that way for a reason) with me :)

Jane Llewellyn said...

Daisy.. you're my girl!!
No 'bear'ing necessary;-)
