When I got the kittens as a birthday present to myself two years ago, I thought I’d try dog-training them. I’d been a dog person all my life, specifically an English Springer Spaniel person, so I thought it’d be interesting … Continue reading →

Posted on September 27, 2011 by janh1

I have acquired a proper cat box. It has a wire, removable sunroof and a respectable wire entrance which can be removed to allow walking in and walking out. My aim is to get two cats in there on Saturday … Continue reading →

Advanced cat-flappery

Posted on April 1, 2011 by janh1

Well, it had to happen.  Runty Lily, who I was quite worried was actually too small to activate the hi-tech chip-recognising cat flap, has taken control of the one and only feline entrance to the house. The kittens are still … Continue reading →

Two kittens? No, tree kittens!

Posted on October 23, 2010 by janh1

Well, it’s Freedom Day for the kittens tomorrow. Sunday morning will be their first real look at the garden.   It’s very shrubby around the edges so I’m hoping the grass, the pond and the interesting nearer bits will occupy … Continue reading →

Feline dog-training II

Posted on October 3, 2010 by janh1

Starting to see results dog-training the kittens. They both come and greet me at the door when I arrive home without me calling them. Leo bounds over to say hello vocally, cavorting and purring loudly. Think feline lawnmower. Lily takes … Continue reading →

Dog training II

Posted on September 17, 2010 by janh1

Dog training decidedly patchy.  Leo now races to the door when I arrive home and looks satisfyingly pleased but without all the panting and leaping about that you’d get from a puppy.  Lily takes her time, pads around the corner … Continue reading →
