Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

@catgirl<br><br>Hi, catgirl, you have a beautiful heart to give your boy such a wonderful home &amp; life, I admire you for doing that &amp; he adores you no doubt in my mind! xo<br>I have had animals all my life no exaggerating. I ended up needing to stop working about nearly 8yrs ago due to health issues. I already had 2 cats, &amp; 3 dogs at that time. Since being house bound, I adopted 1 more dog &amp; 8 more cats, 1 cat being a mum of 4 kittens all being abused at that time, &amp; 4 kittens all litter bothers ready to be destroyed by the cruel xowner. I would not let that happen to those innocent babies no way!!!!!! <br>I found homes for 4 kittens. &amp; I kept the Mother cat, sheba, 1 of her babies, Eva &amp; had them desexed, micro chipped &amp; vac. I kept all 4 baby boys from the other litter I never saw their mum. I parted with 3 boys from Shebs litter. They went gr8 homes, even tho I really wanted to keep all her babies :(<br>I was begged to let a very kind &amp; loving lady by that lady to take 1 of the 4 bothers. I cried &amp; got so upset, but I let her take Button ( I named him) he is cite as a Button. :)<br>I kept a check to make sure she does adore Button, she does he is BIG spoilt BUTTON now &amp; very happy! I still miss him tho, I have photos to look at but not the same, hey? :(<br>Sheba Is a long hair Torti, &amp; Eva is a short hair Torti, both ADORABLE!!<br>The 3 other baby boys are HUMUNGUS now, they are Maine C..n Persian cross, &amp; are Magnificent.<br>I have Bengal, &amp; Hanna, Hanna is my first rescued cat &amp; she is a Japanese Bob Tail Persian cross, &amp; the love of my life as she is 23 yrs old &amp; healthy as can be! xo :)<br><br>Love &amp; hugs<br>Bella xo 🙂

Sorry about the message I typed in a word that is not accepted & my message has lots of little >br< & I had to type Maine C..n like that as that word can be taken the wrong way apparently? 😞

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That's so cute @Shaz51 Gee, riding in the backpack...

Tortoise-shells do seem to be very intelligent. I grew up with one (the original Megsie).

Jelly doesn't seem to have any fur-balls (so far) @catgirl, she's just over 1 year old now. Maybe fur-balls would be expected, since her fur is longer.

That does sound stressful to deal with.

I was told that Jelly would probably need brushing, due to longer fur. So far there's no sign of any matting, so maybe I'm lucky...

@Former-Member ..wow maine c persian cross..that sounds beautiful...u seem to have the united nations of cats 👍it must cost u alot to have so many...its very comendable of you ..it must be amazing to be surrounded by so much furry love 😻
@Adge ...my boy is 8 and i only started having issues with furballs when he turned 7 ...it must be awesome to brush jelly with all that long beautiful fur ..my boy loves a brush which i do everyday (less to go into his tummy) he loves it..as soon as he sees the brush in my hand he starts to purr and continues to purr and roll anout when brushed...its probably my favourite part of the day 😊
