While watching the TV this evening, the marauding Simba silently appeared in the living room, and had a nose around before headbutting my leg for a stroke, and then falling over with a thump. He is one big weighty pesky, and allowed us his company for 15 minutes before he slunk off to find his next stop.

Tucked away under the shelter of a patio canopy, Magnus has found a place to sleep away those rainy days.
He spends a lot of time chilling out here, but doesn’t want to come indoors. On occasion he has stepped inside the house, he becomes very nervy and doesn’t stay long, his experience of going inside houses is probably as an unwelcome intruder with instinct to find food, scoff it, and scarper.
It’s been two weeks since his visit to the vets, he seems quite okay, very relaxed around the garden. Maybe he will stay an outdoor garden cat… i can prepare an insulated comfy outdoor cabin for him to lodge in, and well sheltered from the rain, but early days yet, when the nights draw in and it gets cold he may have a rethink.
Of course if he does decide to move in, he will have to abide by Disa’s house rules…

Miloh our visiting cat comes most days and invited himself in a few days ago, but was nervous and as soon as the door closed he wanted out. Our last chicken died a few months back and we had one of the Eglu insulated hutches on wheels……now a cat shelter at the bottom of the garden with a nice cushion and blanket. He did use it during the heat wave under the canopy of trees.

TBH, I think I Magnus is above all that. He’s just waiting for you to build the shelter, so you can move into that and he’ll move into your house.

Lil Walter back from the vets, not having his best day, no food since 10 pm last night, he was ravenous this morning, but still no food. He was finally neutered after waiting for the testicle to drop. Back home, fed, but needs a cone to stop him licking himself.
Hopefully he will now quieten down a tad, and fill out. But he did weigh in at 6.5kg at the vets, which was a lot more than the last visit.

That’s a proper motor for his status

Yes, I was impressed.
You need to get that bandage off.
Our Sasha went in for the same op, came back with the same bandage and no direction about when to remove it. We were “noobs” in those days, but after a day of obvious swollen foot and limping, we took it off ourselves, and he was fine for the next fifteen years.

Bandage lasted five minutes at home, cone comes off for food. Probably will leave off later tomorrow, after an inspection by the bosses in the house. He is not in any pain……we were told not to let him climb stairs, jump up cat trees etc……the vets forgot to tell him. The only big no no……is not playing with bunny till he has healed. Bunny always wins big time

Perhaps my favourite time of year … swallows were gathering on telephone wires this afternoon and preparations for the next crop are underway.

The influx and departure of these special lovelies is great to see.

Today’s walk was south along the coast from Whitehead, first passing under the railway.
The “path” becomes ever more precarious each time we do this.

Magnus remains very uneasy indoors, after scoffing down his evening meal he wanted out, even though it was a little chilly and getting dark early.
It may take time for him to domesticate …if at all possible.
Disa tends to boss him inside the home, which probably makes him feel unwelcome.
Meanwhile his ‘outdoor’ residence is available as a safe place of retreat.
The detached dwelling includes a completely thermal insulated box room with comfy blanket, an upper sun lounge by the window, spare room above the entrance hall, and outside convenience. Would sell for a tidy sum if located in the home counties…

Magnus is a very lucky chap!

He has a lovely home. Just one minor thing is missing, as the PPs pointed out: he doesn’t have a bell push to summon the butler.
