We moved in a new house and found this fella and another lookalike to wander around our backyard a lot. We aren't sure if they got an owner but judging from their appetite they have not.

Lovely cat. If you can grab them give them some wormer otherwise you’re feeding the worms.

Hope the relationship works out!

For the last few weeks we have been followed along the road by this little fellow. Today he joined us in the garden. He (she?) doesn’t seem like a stray, but is very friendly.

 

With fur like a sheep, the girls nick named her (him) ‘Herdy’

Today, I am sad to report that my charismatic and loyal feline friend ‘Lightning’ passed on. She was only 12 years of age but a few weeks ago was diagnosed with a cancerous lump in her tummy. She slipped away peacefully at the vets this afternoon. She will be greatly missed, and I will always remember her.. always.

I’m so sorry to hear of this. I to lost my cat Cookie just over two weeks ago she was 23. I know what you are going through and it is horrible. I really feel for you, I really do. One thing that helps me is I keep talking to her as if she is still with me, I tell myself she is still here I just can’t see her.

This is "Nimnim" who I found starving in the garden ! She was eating stale bread that I had thrown out for the birds. I started feeding her and it took three weeks for her to come near me. Then one day she didn't run away! She rolled over then jumped on my lap.... Now I can't get rid of her. Considering how frightened of me she was, she now bosses the house. Every morning at 06.30 she jumps up on bed and hits me on the nose with her paw until I get up and feed her, if that doesn't work she sticks her cold nose in my eye ! Oh well looks like I have Nimnim forevermore lol.

This is 4 years young Checco,  neutered male which formally belongs to our neighbors two houses down from us, but in reality has two (or more ?) families - call it too much love for humans. He has become a star with his photos and adventures circulated almost daily among relatives and their coworkers. He's not afraid of anything, his favorite sports are lizard hunting and semi-friendly biting to myself.

Some lovely cats on here:thumbsu:

My current 'furry friend' Fozzy.......

yGQv8Sy.jpg

A rescue that was found, as a small kitten, by a dog walker,  in woodland, shut in a pet carrier suitably sized for a Guinea Pig, god knows how long she had been in it!:mad:. She was taken to a local veterinary hospital, where my daughter in laws sister works, she had ulcerated sores that almost cost her her tail!

QOobRQb.jpg

After two months the tail had almost healed fully and she was well enough for us to adopt her and take her home:)

She has been with us for two years now and is very much part of the family.

Some of our previous feline companions....

'Fudge' (named by my daughter) who was with us for 16 years...

'Jess' (you see the Postman Pat connection?)

And Fozzy's immediate predecessor, Missy, another rescue, shortly after she came to us in 1999, hence the shaved patch and the scar from her spaying operation........

And seen here retrieving one of my youngest son's rolled up socks!

Fozzy looks to be almost her clone :)...

    • Its 4 o'clock in the morning here in the Uk, i cant sleep, i dont sleep, not much ever really. My brain never shuts off to rest, I'm just a constant thinker, i have to be very tired to be able to sleep,  i guess eventually it will be my undoing and my health will suffer because of it I'm sure. But while I'm here i want to get as much out of life as i can, and give as much as i can, to help,maybe to make a difference to someone's life if that is within my capability,recent events have made that need even more clear to me. I'm not sure where I'm going with this or why i bring it up , or if its relevant to want i want to talk about its just in my head right now. What i do want to talk about is something thats been on my mind for ages. I like to be prepared,  I'm not fond of surprises because surprises take control away and i am a bit of a control freak at times. This forum, Our Forum if i can call it that, is here because of two reasons. The guy that created it and keeps it funded and the people that joined it.  Without either, it would not exist, and lets face it one day it won't ( I'm a realist and i talk about things others dont or who are afraid to in other words folk that dont particularly prepare for the inevitable). How many of us visit here regularly ?  How many among us almost depend on the forum as a way of socialising because they are stuck at home and how many of us has it become part of a daily routine to check in and see if they can offer advice or get help with something they are working on or just to have a chat and engage in some banter. The members here are in the thousands and thousands have disappeared over the years many had just a fleeting visit. But there are a good few of us that know each other quite well and visit regularly. I dont know about you but i wouldnt want to lose that communication with you all, in all honesty it has become an important part of that side of my life and helps to feed my passion for all things watches. Some of you may think differently and thats ok, some of may stop and think # what would i do " Without Our Forum " # 
    • Naptha appears to be a general name and its content can be varied depending upon what it's specific use is. Lighter fluid as an example can be light or heavier also with other ingredients to help it burn. Try sesrching for benzine ( as opposed to benzene which is linked to causing health issues ) . There are other fluids such as ethanol that you could try and also methylated sprirts, mostly ethanol with a small percentage of methanol added. Experiment with any new chemical to see how quickly schellac dissolves in its presence. I have tried a few things but hexane is not one of them, i understand it does evaporate very quickly.  Be sure sure to check out any safety data on chemicals you try. Toxicity of fumes and flash point information, ultrasonic machines can heat up fluids even without a heater function. And of course always ask here for personal opinions when trying a new substance. 
    • I have that set and really like it. I prefer that crystal holder over the one that came with my Bergeon claw tool and any time I use the claw I use this one instead of the Bergeon one, just an additional bonus with this tool.
    • Is the Roamer not a split stem? I'm confused on your how your case is put together. If it is a front loader where is it you are putting the case screws? I love me some Roamer, do you have any photos?
    • Oh nice. I have a similar wedge style stump for my staking tool, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
