Hi dreamcatcher - I am on holiday so my teacher's hat is firmly off my head .... no paperwork and no lesson plans bliss!!! I wouldn't want to get that close to a spider to be able to see any of the bits ..... they look for a nice warm home in September and my abiding memory is of a particularly black and furry specimen having climbed into my recumbent trousers which I then innocently wore and whilst I was sitting on the loo it decided to climb up my leg .... truly horrible and the phrase "in space no-one can hear you scream" comes to mind and boy did I scream I had better go a do some housework now .... see you later ......

Hi all and a very good Afternoon/morning and evening to you all from me.
and the spiders say hi too
Well I'm a little later on than I planned mainly because I decided that in order to find my daughter who was playing in the garden I really needed to get the trusty balck and decker strimmer out and do something about the lawn. So I've managed to cut down the grass/weeds and such from the front garden without any major damage to any creatures that happen to br lurking and eventually managed to find Harmony (my daughter unfortunatly not the spirtual) who had fallen down one of the molehills in the garden, did manage to rescue her though with the help of borisina and her web.

Hi Artemis - er whats wrong with talking to the spiders its only polite and talking to your cats must be much much worse, I've never heard or seen of a mad Spider lady/man only mat cat .... as for there being no hope for me .... I knew that a long time ago

dreamcatcher

Lovely story enjoy your day Dreamcatcher. We are still to decide if our cat will make the trip from Oz..

We have 3 cats who own us rather than the other way around and it is Pavlov in reverse! Cats hate change and become really attached to their owners and I feel that no-one else could look after them as well as me. We will definitely be bringing them out to France. I would guess flying them would be the kindest option as even putting them in the car to take them to the vet is a trauma for them. You can buy these really enormous cat carriers in which you can fit a litter tray and food and water. It is best to cover the cat carrier with a light piece of material because they will not enjoy seeing people, cars and planes but feel more secure covered up, but we have to make sure that they can breathe so don't cut off their air supply with too heavy/thick a material!!! One thing to watch out for in your new house are open fireplaces. Keep the cats in for 3 to 4 weeks otherwise they will scarper and block open fireplaces; they can smell the fresh air and will scoot up them to escape. Keep them in one room where they will feel secure for a couple of days; lock all of the windows and doors first and then let them out to investigate the rest of the house. Put a large note on the door of the room asking people not to go in otherwise a removal person may accidentally let them out. It works I have been doing it for 25 years and had 9 cats when my son was born oops that sounds like I gave birth to them

Hi Artemis ....Our cat is 12 years old and its a very long flight from Oz I am worried the stress will kill her ....It might be kinder to find her another family
But I really don't know

dreamcatcher

Difficult decision,I am sure you will make the right one Kate45,hope you all ok.

dreamcatcher

Dont cats own usThat was top advice for anyone moving with them.Years ago we had a Persian kitten,white.We also had a chimney.Together they became one,out popped a black persion it took me ages to get her back to original colour

paulajayne

we had the same thing happen to us when we lived in an old house in West Yorkshire uk only differance is that we had twin kitties and they were ragdolls,
