Well done mate. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals I've found.

Sounds like they've already found their new home :)

Good man, Whitters. If they're staying overnight with you, I'd advise shutting them in a fairly small room (the bathroom might be best) with plenty of newspaper on the floor!

Those adverts on the radio where they try and cram as many words of the terms and conditions into the last 5 seconds irritate me

Thanks all for the kind comments.

The two cats are now in a good friend's loving home and have been kept together, which is perfect as they were clearly very attached to each other. Our friends have two young sons, so they both have one of the cats as their pet and are over the moon.

The kittens went to the vets today and are in very good health, 3.5 months old, and have now been vaccinated and chipped. They were only with us for a day, and I'm a dog rather than cat person, but I was quite sad to see them go. They're only in the next village, so I'm sure we'll be regular visitors to see them.

TOP man, Whitters :thup:

Cats are awesome when they're not waking you up 4 hours after you finally made it to bed after a prolonged session on the red wine.

Mine are waking us up at 05:00 for food as they haven't realised the clocks have gone back. I tried to explain it to them but I do not think they got it!

true, once we ran over a squirrel (well the poor fecker ran below us, to be fair), there was nothing left to do for him... so we all took pictures holding him by the tail in our best davy crockett pose.

Delayed trains. I understand if the train's actually made a journey of sorts. But when I'm at Clapham Junction and the train started at Waterloo?

Trying to read the best before dates on some yogurt cartons ( and some milk cartons ), they are almost invisible to read.

Delays and cancellations because someone was ill on a previous train.
Get them off the train and get it on it's way. Deal with that person at the railway station
