Random cat chat thread

[feorag]

Cat, Ditta - so sorry to hear that you're packing in the reptile taxi and I hope it is just so that you can spend more time together. If that is the case, then good on you and I hope you enjoy yourselves and the animals more!

Penny your day sounds excellent!!

And yes Jen you could take your cats too - you could take the lot ('cept you'd need a bus of some sort to get all your lot in! )

A few years ago we rented a lovely house on the shores of Loch Etive and we took 10 cats there. That had a huge garden too, although the house was divided into 2 lots so there wasn't a divison between the 2 gardens. That's only just north of Oban so about half an hour's less drive!

We've decided we're going there for 3 weeks next year, if Baz can organise it at work! Except we can't go our usual first week, because they had a couple staying there earlier in the year, who are getting married next year and they've booked it for their honeymoon and pinched our first week! Bit gutted about that!!!

Just avoid July/August on the west coast because it's invariably wet then (says she who's going to have to go in July this year )


The best time for weather on the west coast is May and September usually.

maybe i should go ?... hmm


you got a link to the place you stay at?

[moonstruck]

Wow. I didn't even know this thread existed

I love cats, but I can't have one don't think the jack russel would appreciate it

[feorag]

Well you don't have to own one to talk about them or appreciate them, so you're welcome on here, cos half the time we talk about dogs and the other half about us - an occasional cat related conversation pops up though!

Gina this is the cottage we've been to the last two holidays. Accommodation at West Highlands self catering Log Chalet - Tom Fraoich Strontian Ardnamurchan

I can also recommend this one An Sean Tigh Self Catering Cottage which is where we stayed the first year when I couldn't get the chalet.

This is also a good place, was quite a bit cheaper but another 30 mile or so further north. This is on the shores of Loch Duich on the road to Skye Brook Cottage Self Catering Cottage near Skye in the North West Highlands of Scotland

And this was my favourite situation ever. We rented this about 15 years ago when it had just been rebuilt and renovated and before they extended it and we loved it. Two years later I tried to re-book it and couldn't and I've never been able to get it in the summer months ever since - it's just about like a timeshare cos people keep coming back!! Course it's been extended to provide another bedroom, so the rent has gone up pro rata and it's a bit out of our price bracket now. Shore Cottage, Glenuig - Home Page

This is the one by the shore of Loch Etive just north of Oban. Visitscotland An Cladach Connel and North Connel Self Catering Welcome accommodation Visit Scotland

For people who havent seen yet I have added new Boris photos I tried doing a video of him on our bed but all he did was whine and squeak as he didnt know where he was, silly boy. Hes getting wormed on Thursday, the breeder is getting me some Puppy Drontal(I would have bought it but she insists)
