it sure will be when Edie is fully grown

its going to be like a chair moving round my house lo
she is only 2/3 years old

and the smaller one about 5 years but much smaller due to the type he is :-D :-D

They get on great with my cats and the dog :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
If they're that big, it certainly is beyond a joke!!

hahahahaa I went into a thread about cats and I see a post saying how it grows up to 200lb and 3ft long and I'm thinking.... crikey what do the cats EAT round that way? And what are the CAT FLAPS like?!!!!

~S~

The Sulcata grows up to 200 lb and will be over 3ft long
but the Horsefeild Tennyson is the smaller type :-D :-D

RR, It seems your Moggie has remamed you tp his friends :-D Pussy Galore. ;-)

Not sure what Harold is He a BIG boy weighs almost 6lbs and has quite a dark mottled rounded shell .

Have looked online but not identified him as yet .have eliminated what he isnt though .

we got him in 1968 from the next door neighbours . they bought him from a petshop for their son but we were in newbuilds and the dad was planting out the back garden and got annoyed because Harold would eat the new plants !!.

We had ranch style fencing between the houses and Harold would often be in our garden that we had just laid to lawn . The dad suddenly said to our 9 year old daughter do you want him?? he seems to spend more time in yours than ours . So thats he came to live with us . he stayed too after she married as she would be travelling around with her army hubby

Daughter is now 56 and a grandma!!

I have two tortoise's Shirley

a Horsefeild and a Sulcata :-D :-D

We haven't got a cat now but we still have Harold the 50 plus year old tortoise

He likes a dollop of cat food with his salad and I swear the local cats are sitting outside the garden with their knives and forks ready waiting for the food to go,out

I don't feed him at the same time every day it depends on the weather but poor old Harold often gets the cat food licked clean off the salad before he has time to take a bite at it even though I have put the plate under his nose

Bee things too have a crap on the gravel part of the garden as they leave

Even had one randy unneutered Tom peed up the back door just to let me know he had been in the garden ,boy did that pong :-S

Looks like you may have at least one more cat, he's obviously decided you'd be an 'okay' slave :-D

Mayfield that looks like fun :-)

well white and black puss was put out last night and was on the doorstep ( as were the two other regulars, mine is always in over night) when I opened the door, funny little thing he has the shortest legs and a short body to go with....and is now sitting on the sofa looking like he lives here :-|

I wonder if he is lost? he's obviously been used to being indoors.

Ah you should read this book that might explain it! ;-)

Wish next doors cats would use their gravel/pebles - but it probably smells of doggy-do :-| :-| :-|

neighbour over the road has, at any one time about 6 cats (she fosters I think for cats' protection), her next door neighbour has three cats. We have a gravel patch in the front of our house, Guess where they like to leave their little 'messages'? At the moment it is covered in netting and holly leaves and sprayed with Stay off. We only have to open the front door and they are gone! :-D

I think cats can recognise a soft touch when they see one Rose lol :-D :-D

My neighbours moved in last year. They had 2 cats and a GSD. I don't mind others' cats (though my cats do), but the neighbour has removed any greenery, and covered any soil in his garden ( and got another dog), His garden is now a concoction of gravel and breezeblocks, with little squares left for the 'specimen' flowers.
My garden is a grassy bit with overgrown shrubs, sloworms, hedgehogs, and a barked over area. The barked area is where my cats cr*p. I know it's there, I am aware, they were trained to go there. They dig holes there and do it. Grandchildren have to wear wellies if they venture in to that area of the garden.
Neighbour's cats, in the desperate pursuit of somewhere to do their business, decided the grassy area of my garden - no holes dug- was suitable. :-| I don't think so. Standing in their detritus whilst hanging out my washing? No way.
Cute though they are, I will bang on windows, open the door and hiss - anything to deter them. I found myself hissing at a poor (human) stranger passing my front gate tonight :-(
They've got cats - do they not realise they need somewhere to relieve themselves? :-| :-| :-| :-|

when the butler first let my girls out we had lots of cats visit to
till Scarlett jumped on them all and chased them awya


Steve doesn't go out he is to young yet :-D :-D

It's getting like the Cravendale pussies ad Joy lol.

I think one or two of them may be coming because their owners have now got dogs and the dogs are taking the cat's food. :-(

they know your kind
because your cat has told them there's a party at yours
so come on over pussys :-D :-D
