RANDOM MONDAYS YOU HATE

[Rachey]

Now I want lasagne AND Greggs

Also one of my cats had flea issues - obv you can get the usual treatments from the vets but I also swear by the Seresto collars now. You can't get them off Amazon but you can get them online from other pharmacy websites..

Seresto collars are amazing! Especially if your cat hates flea drops.

 

[lolly]

Cowes, where the shop is. My 1.5 hour bus journey is getting annoying.

Is that a round trip?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

That's the one! It's amazing. We had a flea outbreak at the vets one day, used that and by the next day it was sorted. Just do a room a time, open windows and keep the cat out of the room for an hour or so.

Flea treatment for him, use something like Advocate or Advantage.

Yeah we get those from the vets on subscription. They just post them to us every few months..

 

[lolly]

I sometimes think I should treat heathcliff. Last time I did was 8 years ago but luckily we never seem to bring fleas home.

I'm not sure how much of a risk it is. But I Mr L is incapable of stopping and petting every single cat he sees anywhere.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm so constantly itchy.

I'm the same. I have no idea how I didn't bring fleas home when I worked at the vets. Maybe I did and Heathcliff repels them. But even the rabbit doesn't have them. But if it's on your monthly plan it's worth using because it treats for mites and worms usually too

 

[Rachey]

Is that a round trip?

No, one way

£4.60 each trip. I often walk half of it if the weather's nice.

It's good stuff, especially as it does worms too which a lot don't.

@Ag are they biting you as well?

My commute is just under two hours each way by public transport, twice a week. It would be £5.50 a day if I didn't buy a monthly pass.

I could do it in about 65/70 minutes in lockdown

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Although I think I'm just itchy now regardless.

 

[Lucille]

An hour and a half one way?

I assumed you could circumnavigate the island in that time!

 

[lolly]

In HOT CAT CHAT, my friend got two 15 week old Maine Coons last week.

 

[octophone]

I might get drunk tonight.

On the flea spray? Solid effort, A+.

 

[octophone]

I do love a Maine Coon but they do look as if they'd have no hesitation ripping you in half should the need arise.

I shouldn't moan really as I know most people commute for ages, I just got used to 20 minutes. Could you cycle?

We love cowes since working there so do want to move, although I'll be sad to leave my flat. And cowes is stupidly expensive for the island.

I mean all cats do that. It's just that with Maine Coons you believe they could do it quickly.

 

[Rachey]

Although I think I'm just itchy now regardless.

Yeah you will be if there's fleas around, even if you aren't being bitten. Indorex will definitely help!

 

[big ron]

Thursday night I went and got pissed in a rough pub because I was sulking. I was supposed to have a birthday party Friday (thanks for all the well wishes moopy) but it got CANCELLED because a load of us are going to America and everyone got the fear about covid.

I'm now feeling ill and I daren't do a test because if I've caught covid in a booze fueled sulk I might actually commit war crimes.

You can, if you didn't do it on public transport

I mean I guess I could, but I won't. It would be about a 45 minute, pretty hilly cycle. I think probably an electric scooter may be the way to go. I don't mind the bus though, particularly at the end of the day. It allows me to get rid of all the trauma I hear in session and I can usually arrive home not about to burst into tears.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I tried to buy the Advocate but I needed a prescription.

Actually I quite enjoy a bus ride, at the top, looking at the scenery.

Your job sounds sad

@Rachey

 

[Rachey]

Your Vets should be able to write you one. There is a charge for it but they can usually do a 12 month prescription.

Failing that, and to keep it cheaper, advantage is just as good if it's just fleas you want to treat. It doesn't do worms.

 

[Rachey]

In fact, your vets should sell decent flea treatment. Although they may be more expensive it might be worth it as a one off to get something quickly. Although if you have just treated him, you need to wait at least 3 weeks before using anything else.

I mean it can be. I'm just not very good at dealing with it some of the time.

 

[GNL]

This just popped up on my twitter feed. I...

 

[ZenGiraffe]

What a random thread to be perusing almost a year later.

You should try CBD oil. I've been using it for nearly 2 months now. Amazing stuff.

I'm famous

I have used it. It certainly can be useful.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Ordered all that @Rachey

Thanks for your advice

You're welcome..hope it works!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate my new bathroom, compared to my old one

 

[COB]

It looks great! The bathroom is first on our list of rooms to do once we can afford it, I think.

 

[Kate]

Mine desperately needs doing but I've decided to move house instead.

We've waited 9 years to do ours, and I've no idea why. I've hated it since the day we moved in, but it was manageable for a few years. It feels so nice to have a clean, fresh bathroom. And it was pretty cheap.

 

[Rachey]

That was our plan but high house prices and a new business has put a temporary stop on things.

 

[Marina Salty]

I kind of redid mine too last week, basically changed the shower curtain, light, mirror, sink and sink furniture. Not a massive change but still feels new.
