Title: For Gwen (and anyone else) vid of Clapton playing in the "garden"
Post by: Mark on August 20, 2008, 10:13:38 AM

Or wildlife habitat as we prefer to call it  :evillaugh:

He's not doing too badly as it is almost 2 years since he was diagnosed CRF  :Luv2:

"Not doing too badlt" is an understatement Mark.  He looks so well and happy.  Has he killed the paper ball yet?

Clapton woudn't kill a fly  :Luv2: He really is the gentlest cat I have ever known  :Luv2:

Paper balls are his favourite toy as he is scared of anything that makes a noise.

Another thing I never notice until watvhing these is he never does the shredding with his back claws.

i will never stop loving the cat trait of "woo hoo i'm having such a good time! ... ... ... as if i would deign to play with such a thing!"

Apparently sheep do so why not seagulls? - Ours are chav ones  :evillaugh:

One of the downsides of living near the sea.

I'm sure I heard that birds had accents as well??????????

a friend of mines mum had some thuggish seagulls around, the council recommended a very cruel way of getting rid of them that involved them sort of exploding inside

Clapton is simply gorgeous. Love how he is having such a great time entertaining himself with a paper ball. I wish I was that easily pleased too!!

Aww, he's having a lovely time with that  :Luv2: - was it a ball of foil or just paper? I love seeing them so absorbed in playing like that - he's lookin good!

I thought it was silver foil  :evillaugh:
Clapton is looking really well and happy  :Luv:

I'd try that with Misty, but I know I' spend more time chasing it than he would  :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

You wouldn't think he was middle aged with CRF would you - he looks like a kitten dashing after his ball  :Luv2:

He has really surprised us. Two years ago, we didn't expect him to be around for long but he has proven us wrong  :Luv2:

That's a wonderful sight Mark, how happy he looks.  Well done to you for looking after him so well, he is a lucky boy.
PS Charlie liked the sound effects!

Thanks MM  :)

I was aware there were birds around but didn't realise how noisy they were until I played it back  :Crazy:

We once had a B&B guest who complained that the seagulls woke her up really early. I apologised and told her I would have a word  :tired:

what a handsome boy Clapton is. He's bigger than I thought too  ;D and he looks so well and happy. As for the seagulls, blimey I thought the crows & parakeets here were bad but that's a whole new decibel count!

I cant believe how well Clapton is looking considering he has CRF,he's simply a credit to you  :Luv2:

seagulls really are something else - i'll be on the phone to people and they'll ask where i am... i say in my lounge... they say all they can hear is sea gulls!!!  (only when i have the windows open)
i'm going to try record them and we can compare accents  :)

does clapton have a new paper ball today or does he recyle?  :Luv:

He is having a day in bed after all that activity yesterday  :evillaugh:

He tends to have "mad half hours" between sleeping  :Luv2:
