The Dogmother Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) 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!

Lesley Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy-Mama Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 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 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 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 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 What a gorgeous boy he is! Sorry Graham - my heart belongs to Chilli now! Does he snuggle up Sarah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Not unless he is particularly wet & dirty Seroiusly,he is far too aloof to cuddle anyone but the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
