Paws for thought

Greetings BT fans!

If you have been to visit the NCAC you may have noticed that I have been looking a bit tired this week!
Benji and I have been out and about (ducking & diving)and making ourselves known to all the new ladies that have come to stay.

We have also tried to pick the locks in the cafe to get at the yummy cake we hear about all the time. Once we got the door open we realised that the cupboard was empty! You lot have eaten it all...
Probably just as well as still on this stupid diet.

Chocolate has been perfecting the art of jumping out when the door is open but then lets himself get picked up again (must teach him how to evade being caught).

Have also been trying out the old BT charm on Pepsi but it's not working. 'Alicat' on reception loves flowers so am going to try the interflora route and see if that works! I managed to 'borrow' Joels' credit card so money no object.

If you have any tips on all that romantic slushy stuff please let me know as Benji has his eye on her too (just don't tell Melody).

Big BT love to all those big ones who have been in cat cuddling, it makes us feel loved and wanted, shame you can't take us home though.

Lady Lulu looks sad this week. She has a sign on her cabin saying that she is the most lonely cat. Please, please ask your friends and see if you can find a nice Granny that will take her home.

Us cats would like you to paws for thought and send love to Kansas who departed this world this week. Great chap and had a really rough life before the NCAC rescued him. May you have found the catnip cloud in heaven bro'.

Keep cool

Taking it easy...

Girls, I am back! Yes I know you have missed me but reception duties can be soooooo tiring. It takes a lot out of a guy to be constantly fussed over by the whole female population.

Well, it's been hectic here with some of me ol' buddies going to new homes.

What really breaks me heart is the new recruits being brought into reception.
They are terrified and it's just the start of their journey here.
Once they are booked in they have to be checked by the green ones (vets to you), and put in a nice warm cabin that is clean & tidy but ain't home. The big ones are kind but it costs a helluva lot of dosh to ensure that we are tip-top.

I have been having a chat with Lulu, and she thinks that can spare a bit of time for you to help out with your feline questions. So if she can help - type 'Ask Lulu' at the start of your comment. Keep an ol' gal happy and get typing!

**Please note - if you want us to chat up one of the big ones for you, that will cost you a bag of catnip and a box of treats from the nice shop here.

Now, I like to think that I can look after myself around here, and I have a reputation to keep, so can someone please tell the pretty red head that in NO uncertain terms I AM NOT wearing a fairy costume for the open day!

I have been to the meetings and am looking forward to all you lovely people queing up to take a peek at my glossy coat, but a guy has to draw the line somewhere & dressing up is not on the agenda.

Must dash, it's shrek night down the pub and of course I am Puss In Boots - Miaooowww!

Week 2

What an eventful week I have had! It so nice to see that I have some friends on Blogger! It gets very lonely looking out at the world through a pane of glass whilst missing the comforts of home.

Well, the pretty big one came back and said that my yukky teeth had to come out. She could not believe that other big ones do not check their cats’ teeth, and she said that I was very brave as mine were rotten! I won’t go into details but they have been removed and I am so grateful to those lovely big ones that donate money. Without their kindness we cats could not have these problems fixed by the experts.

Elvis & Earl have been the reception cats this week (it's a very sought after position), and I asked them to do a bit of research on the PC when the big one wasn’t looking. Those two are great, first time I met them they were so shy. It took me 3 days worth of paw waving before they purrrred back.

So I had to bribe them with 3 bags of catnip, but they got the information I needed to share with you about moggie teeth:

It is possible to care for our teeth in several ways. If you have a young kitten you could try to start brushing its teeth on a regular basis. Do not use big ones toothpaste! You could use the C.E.T. toothpastes which are quite well tolerated by cats. There is also a gel (Logic) which helps to prevent the build up of plaque on the teeth.

If you have an older cat that is not used to having its teeth brushed it may be impossible to start now. So you could try alternative ways to help prevent dental problems. You can buy yummy chews which help to reduce plaque and calculus build up (for example C.E.T. chews). Generally it may help if some part of our diet is given in the form of hard crunchy biscuits. So now you know..

Big Tommy had a turn on reception yesterday (he’s such a hit with the female big ones) and told me that all the big ones at the centre know about toothy problems so anyone can ask them for advice. I’ve noticed that big ones also like to eat hard biscuits with their tea but I never get offered one.

I will leave you on some purrrfect news.....the pretty one with the red hair tells me I can move to the re-homing section next week! I have lots of grooming to do as I will be moving to a new cabin (and I want to show the youngsters that us older girls can play with the best of them).
