Well, I got us wee in the kitchen, I got us wee on the floor.
Got him weeing faster than he's ever weed before
I got us wee in the lounge, I got us wee on the floor.
Got him weeing faster than he's ever weed before.
And I know it ain't gonna last
And I know it ain't gonna last
When I see your eyes arrive
They explode like two bugs on glass.

@thepoliticalcat The tall one has taken him downstairs and is trying to get him to nap in front of the fire. I really fancy sitting in front of the fire too, but it's still too terrifying for me to move right now. No hyperventilating again tonight, so that's positive.
@Nikkileah@thepoliticalcat I've been under here for nearly 4 ½ hours now. When will it end? Will I be down here forever? Will I ever see my food bowl again?
Eric has been running around, screaming and weeing for the same amount of time. :blobcatscared:
@Colin@thepoliticalcat I promise you will see daylight, and your food bowl again... I swear to the ancient cat God Bastet.
I'll also put in a good word with Artemis too, just in case.
Humans like their loud bangs and pretty sparklies at times so it may happen again over the next few nights but it will end. I promise
@Colin@thepoliticalcat it's safe enough for Her Maj but your mileage may vary. Plus she has her emotional support shark and emotional support human as well
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah I'm out and have made it as far as the preferred human for hugs. Some say I may have tried to climb into her clothes, but that is unverified speculation.
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah by law they should stop letting off fireworks in 2 minutes so I could go out for a bit to stretch my legs etc. However, who knows.
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah I think the police are too busy dealing with multiple fires, people throwing fireworks, the football fans in town and finding 3d printed guns to bother with safe, yet antisocial firework practices.
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah Our police cover the whole of Greater Manchester and Lancashire there are some areas that have more crime than others. It is the 4th biggest police force in the UK.
You'd think people would be put off by the rain, but if people were put off by the rain here, nothing would ever happen.
@Nikkileah@thepoliticalcat I like hunting down the police helicopter. I could totally take it if it would just get a little bit closer. However, it's sometimes too noisy, so I have to bravely run away.
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah Very possibly. I'll usually give anything a go after conducting a suitable risk assessment, but I am not averse to conducting a strategic redeployment inside if it all gets too much.
@thepoliticalcat@Colin wow.. we just have squirrels, hedgehogs and various birds locally. Although some locals say deer can roam up this way on occasion
@Nikkileah@thepoliticalcat we get squirrels, foxes, the occasional deer and hedgehogs. There are owls and buzzards, but they are all best avoided IMHO.
@Colin@thepoliticalcat I swear I keep hearing owls but never seen one
I live opposite a big park and I'm informed that deer visit there. I saw a heron once too
@Nikkileah@thepoliticalcat There have definitely been deer running around near Mirrlees Field. There are herons in Happy Valley I hear, but fortunately not in my garden.
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah The preferred human grew up in a village, so there were all sorts of wildlife that we don't get here. They used to get pheasants, rabbits and grouse in the garden and deer, weasles and barn owls up the dale.
@Nikkileah@thepoliticalcat the pheasants would jump up and down under the bird table to knock the food off, then the grouse and the pheasants would eat it off the floor. Their cat, Emmie, would try to catch them, but they were too big for her.
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah Eric sometimes catches rats that are nearly as big as he is. Emmie used to catch rabbits, mice and voles, but never succeeded with a pheasant, not that she didn't try.
@thepoliticalcat@Colin I recall one of the neighbours cats running flat out past my house. I was impressed.
And then I saw a very pissed off crow flying after it. Impressive low-level flying.
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah The humans don't feed the birds as they worry we will kill them, although the neighbours do. There is a lot of ivy where blue tits nest at the back, so I would sit on the shed roof to figure out how to get to them. I did throw myself at it a few times but was unsuccessful while also being scratched on the nose by the roses. I had to content myself with shouting and being laughed at.
@thepoliticalcat@Nikkileah one of the preferred human's favourite activities is following her village's Facebook group and laughing at all the people on the new estate who are confused by wildlife.
There's an unsupervised rabbit, what do I do? (Leave it alone, it lives there)
There's a load of big birds hanging around on the roadside, they'll get hit by a car! (They'll get shot soon, so don't worry).
Has someone lost a ferret? (Leave it alone, it's a weasel).
