COLD DARK ROOM

[Rutibegga]

I'm more of a cat person, too.
But not really possible to have them safely in Morocco.

Why is that? I'm just curious. In Philadelphia, it's definitely not safe for cats to be outside (unless they're enclosed in a secure yard) but they're probably as popular as dogs as pets.

Here, the children will kick them, beat them to death or pick up cute ones and take them home.
There are lots roaming the streets, many disease and flea ridden.
They are popular as 'pets' but not fed anything but scraps, just left to roam the streets at night scavenging from the bin bags.
I wouldn't be able to cope.

I see. I grew up in an area where people let their cats outside, but it's not an option here, and it's actually frowned upon because it's too dangerous. Also, there is a faction of people who love birds who are opposed to outdoor cats to the point of wanting stray and feral cats rounded up and euthanized, so it's not worth the risk to let them put. But people still keep indoor cats, myself included. I have a fairly large house and devote a good portion of it to my pets, so I feel ok about this. Aside from the tortoise, all of my pets were rescued from shelters, so they are all luckier for knowing me! (I think Troggy has a pretty good life, too, though I suppose it would be richer if he'd landed in the hands of someone with a huge yard and a herd of redfoots.)

My Tidgy's a rescue, too.
And I've too many objects in my house to have a house cat, the poor thing wouldn't be able to go anywhere and it's so hot for so long, i feel it would go crazy.
Also wifey hasn't got over the loss of her last cat back in England and doesn't really want another at this time.

I understand both wanting to provide the best and needing time to recover from loss. I hope you both have another resident cat in your lives eventually, though, as it sounds like you're both fond of them.

My job is providing care for cats, and I work with a cat rescue as well, so I'm a bit biased.

And the 17th of September means :
Happy Constitution Day in the USA.
It's also National Apple Dumpling Day.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

How are you doing on this fine Humpday Adam?

And of course everyone else??

Fine in this Territory.

To be fair it's the culture here, manners don't include keeping people informed or being on time or turning up at all.
It's me who's out of step, but I just can't get used to it.
Meanwhile, wifey was with our Korean friend who has just bled all over an antique cushion.

Not the antique cushion!!!

 

[spud's_mum]

That's the same one Johns got !
A good choice for you both.
Spud and Fido can share the same landscape without fighting.

It's the only one I can find that isn't set under the water! All the others have fish haha.
