Hi @Former-Member

Great to see you today - it's a fine thing to do some gardening - and it's easy to over-do things

And we only have to be here when it's okay for us - so I am glad you have had other things to do and now you are resting with your cat - something I totally do a lot of with my companion cat

It's bit of a worry with your guinea pig having disfunctional behaviour with his brother - I don't know that much about guinea pigs except they tend to breed often - I wish him the best - poor little guy having surgery so young

So it's Thursday today and tomorrow really is Friday

No they do not unfortunately. The longest they live is probably 5-6 years. My little one is only 1 years old. I had 2 guinea pigs in the past, one died of cancer and the died - without real reason, just stopped eating or drinking and left us.

Oh, yeah, I am not sure. I think it would be good to have it as a distraction. I might look at it on Sunday then ! Just see what we can do.

@Owlunar

Yeah. My garden is a mess, and when I say a mess.. it's probably worse than that without exageration.

Today was the first time I have gotten out of bed all week - surprising in a way that I have lost 5kgs. I also have been drinking a lot of water. So - not sure how I even did that. I am back sitting down now. I had some sneaky dark chocolate though 🤐 The guilt is there, but who can resist.

I totally adore my cat. He is 11 turning 12 - but everyone usually mistakes him for a kitten because he looks so so very young.

It is sad that he has had to have surgery so young. Already 700-800 spent and no sudden improvements. Its disheartening but he is a tough cookie and I know he can get through it.

What have you been up to today?

[outlander]

I had something similar with mine @Former-Member
We thought maybe the grass spiders got them........
Yeah lets check sunday
We can see what we can do or learn 🙂

[Former-Member]

You have grass spiders @outlander ??
Is there such a thing? I am no expert.

Most definitely

[outlander]

Hi @Former-Member

So many days in bed - aw - that must mean things were really tough - drinking water is good and some dark chocolate is fine - I think 6 little squares. I understand though - 6 little squares is hardly enough

My cat is 13 going on 14 - she doesn't look that old either but she used to dash outside the backdoor whenever I wasn't noticing her - and she would jump up a high gate and onto the car-port roof - like me - she's past it - not that I was into jumping high gates and climbing onto the car-port roof - but we are both aging as gently as possible without aggravating our arthritis - we both have arthritis

Tough work for the guinea pig - what was wrong with him that he had to have an operation - hey - I know it costs a packet just for the GA - let's hope is he a tough little beggar and gets over it

I wa taking my cat into the vet for weigh-ins for over a year because of unexplained weight-loss - she had tests and they though she might be really ill but over this winter she has put on a lot of weight - she is still small but really - she seems to weigh a ton when she sits on me in bed - How I wish she didn't do that!!!!

Today we have had fog in Melboure and it is freezing cold - I have been organising my trip to Sydney - just waiting for my agent to ring me back so I can pay my fare over the phone - to cold to go out today when I otherwise don't have to. It took ages to heat my unit too.

Hi @Former-Member 💜 That's good re gardening. Sorry about your guineapig. Hope he gets better soon. We had guineapigs when I was young and always cats/kittens. 😀 A few dogs, but mainly cats.

How's your foot today @outlander ? 💜
I'm going to go and cook early dinner now.

Hi @Owlunar 💜 How's your kitty cat going?
I hope your day is going ok.

[Former-Member]

I just read re your cat @Owlunar 😀

Hi @Former-Member & @Former-Member I dont think we have "met" before.  Its a good forum.

Hi @outlander @Owlunar

Today I had an doc appointment and a zoo encounter.

I have personally related to all sorts of animal behaviour understandings. In that I kind of know it is "normal" if a reaction I have had during my life is similar to an animal.  How much of a nutter am I? There was all this natural mother stuff from my mother but unnatural neglect and expectations on me.

We fed the giraffes browse, carrots and celery. They dont like snow peas and are on a sugar free diet this year, so not allowed fruit anymore ... like all us peeps.
