Installing Indoor Cat Tree

[The Dogmother]

Well, we've finished and tested our pumpkin ready for tomorrow night.

 

Rosie making a start on the pumpkin - note the tongue out!

 

The finished product

 

All lit up

 

I just couldn't resist this last photo - Biscuit was so underwhelmed by the process that he had to sleep it off!

That monster cat is the scariest bit He's twice the size of our kitten

 

I like the pumpkin as well Clare - I'm with Louise - I find it incredibly hard to carve out the middle

[Linda]

What a whopper!! (the pumpkin, not the cat!!) It looks great Clare - a bit different from the designs you usually see!

[Egluntyne]

Smashing!

Great pumpkin, I was going to try and put an eglu on mine but it's a bit difficult.

[AnnieP]

Amazing carving Clare! Well done !

Love Biscuit... what a great kitty!

[Louise]

Lovely pumpkin Clare maybe next year

 

Biscuit is such a cutie isn't he

[Guest]

Brilliant pumpkin Clare

 

We did two very small ones yesterday, they were ones we had grown ourselves and they were tiny, but still looked effective

 

Not as good as yours though

[Paola]

Great pumpkin and pics Clare

[The Dogmother]

Thanks chaps - I hope we win

 

We got quite a lot of flesh out but it wasn't easy, and I will make some soup tonight. Debs - photos, please

 

Biscuit is enormous, like his Dad. Note the fat tummy - he eats for England and even tried some pumpkin.

[Mrs Frugal]

That's a smashing pumpkin, Clare!! Well done!

[The Dogmother]

Thanks Kate

 

'Smashing Pumpkins' is the name of one of Phil's fave bands.

[Mrs Frugal]

Mine too !

[Happy-Mama]

Wow, that's great. I forgot to carve my pumpkin so will be rushing when I get home tonight

 

Biscuit is lovely, he looks just like my cat though he has been in the wars lately.

[Cinnamon]

Clare - what on earth are you feeding that cat - hes got massive

He looks lovely & cuddly though.Wish Chilli was cuddly- hes still a skinny,spikey little thing

[The Dogmother]

Hee hee, he just eats regular cat food Sarah, but apparently his Dad is massive - not fat, just a big cat. Biscuit has enormous paws, and when I took him to the vet for his first jabs, they exclaimed at his size and said that he would be big. He eats soo much (including the chicken's corn) and apart from his very round tummy when he's had a meal, he is just big boned He's such a cuddly chap and loves to snuggle up in the morning just before I get up.

[Cinnamon]

Hes gorgeous!

I sort of wish I had got a "normal" cat rather than the skittish nervy creature we have ended up with.

Chilli is half Bengal,so is pretty,but tempermental with it

[The Dogmother]

He is so pretty Sarah; have you got any recent photos of him?

[Paola]

Ooooo yes, pics please

[Cinnamon]

Here he is- the bane of my life

 

 

[The Dogmother]

What a gorgeous boy he is! Sorry Graham - my heart belongs to Chilli now!

 

Does he snuggle up Sarah?

[Cinnamon]

Not unless he is particularly wet & dirty

Seroiusly,he is far too aloof to cuddle anyone but the dog

[The Dogmother]

That's a shame - I love cuddly cats. Our Georgie is a rescue cat and scared of everything, but she's quite affectionate if you get her on her own terms when she's already lying down. If you approach her otherwise, she'll head for the hills
