We have a microchip catflap, but recently, one of the local cats who is friendly enough, but tends to crap in our bath or kitchen, is getting in through said catflap. I've watched him do it several times today by hitting the flap a number of times and getting in that way.
The microchip sensor is still good, but as the catflap is several years old and with our eight, gets a fair bit of use. So it occurs to me that the mechanical parts, being plastic, are wearing out and so the locking part can be overidden by suitable banging of the actual flap as said cat has demonstrated.
Replace the catflap and go through the rigmarole of reprogramming our lot with a new one, or am I missing something - ?

Well, touch wood, Dumpy is back to normal (except better, because he's not fat now). No insulin or Senvelgo, but a change of diet to expensive cat food with more meat and no grain. The vet said yesterday that his blood sugar was what she'd expect from a healthy cat that had breakfast 2 hours previously and was a bit grumpy about being taken there.

Great news. :thumbsup:

Mrs Slick took our 2 boys to the vet for a routine check up and has been told one has to lose 1kg and the big guy has to lose 3. :eek:

I'm not looking forward to the wee lady going in next week to get dressed. :sad:

Having one of my whacky dreams recently; I never bother trying to analyse their 'meanings', it would take the fun element out of them - !
At one point in said dream, suddenly I couldn't breathe properly. The sensation woke me up to discover one of our cats, who usually sleeps on my shoulder had managed to doze off on my face, hence the breathing issue - ! :eek:
Think my dreams and reality are getting a bit intertwined - ! :laugh:

Setting the controls for the heart of the sun.
A mahoosive long shot, but is anyone in, or who could travel to the Warrington/Liverpool area, interested in a new addition?
By way of background, my youngest daughter is training to be a vet nurse and she is hand rearing this little one. She was found under a shed along with her siblings and mum, but mum has rejected her. She is thought to be 4-5 weeks old, but is currently underweight, malnourished and on antibiotics following a bite from mum.
Neither Mrs B nor I are cat persons and my daughter can't keep her as she already has a rescue rabbit, (which she isn't supposed to have where she lives!).
According to my daughter, ideally she would be the only cat in the household, (at least at this stage as she is tiny) and would have to be indoors as she doesn't have the social skills to be outdoors.
