If I lose my job it’s your fault for directing me to this site.

This post reminded me very much of Alice Thomas Ellis’ Home Life books. Remind me to tell you sometime how I nearly went out with one of her sons.

That is the best blog post title I’ve seen in years.

GP is wrong – cat’s claws are curved down for exactly that reason – they hook in and then pull/rip. No poles or prods needed – just keep a plant sprayer with water in it on single jet – next time it comes around one phwish of water and it won’t be coming back. I love cats but cat scratches really hurt and water dries out and doesn’t hurt them….go on – get spraying! Hope it gets better soon. x

PS: my son has been referred to as the ginga whinger in his time!

hi mel my doctor is a bit of an animal lover, i reckon, and told me that, basically, by pulling away when the hideous beast sank it’s claws into me, i’d frightened it and that was why it had sunk them in even deeper and bit me too. i expect i should have spoken soothingly to it or maybe sung it a little song. grrrrr (Freddy sounds divine)
hello tim, just don’t get piranhas by mistake.
lucy(y) the ginja ninja seems to have left of his own accord – maybe i gave him indigestion. yes – i’ve often fancied a duelling scar *drifts off into fantasy about life as a pirate*

Get a big stick with a nail in it and wallop the interloper with it.

Or bait a coolbox with tuna and then “release” it into another area one dark night.

At least you’ll be left with cool duelling-stylee scars as a memento.

I’ve got two scars: a dog bite on one wrist and a cat scratch on the other.

I’m seriously considering goldfish.

Ouch! I got mauled (yes, mauled) by a half-wild tomcat when I was 10 yrs old. He tore open my right wrist and left claw marks from the back of my hand all the way up to my elbow. The torn wrist bled so bad, I soaked thru a couple of towels on the way to the ER. Fortunately, he failed to turn me off cats. In fact, my childhood kitty, Freddy, was ‘meowing’ in a concerned voice and licking me all over when I got home. Yeah, pound for pound (kilo for kilo?) cats are much stronger than dogs, they can do some real damage if they feel threatened.

corgi, m’dear – it is the friendly bacteria (allegedly) – but i think producing a foodstuff with a name that contains the letters y u k is an elementary marketing error. the ninja has left … as mysteriously as he came. but the cats are still jumpy. (and so am i)
flutter i’m very tempted. it would confer instant kudos (from my son, at least)
alph how is little felafel these days? not too good from the sound of it. yakult tastes as it sounds!

I’d lend you the WunderDog to take care of the ginga ninja, but she is really only a danger to herself. Her sad sad sorry self.

Does Yakult taste as bad as it sounds?
