Title: sleep
Post by: tiggerl on August 18, 2009, 15:33:32 PM

hi sorry for all the posts feel embarrassed :-[
tigger seems much better and vet was thrilled when i spoke to her this morning. thing is he does seem to sleep a lot. now i have such a crap memory i cant remember if thats what he did when i lived at old flat. i think it was as he does tend to be a bit lazy. i think he prob did sleep alot in old flat but just cant remember. hes nearly 13 and a indoor cat xx :-[

Byron has slept since 8.30 apart from when I gave her a prod to wake her up to give her some dinner  :naughty:  so Pep didn't eat it all, I took it to the sofa to her she ate it sat down and went back to sleep.  She is ancient though  :evillaugh:

Schui used to sleep about 22/7 too, infact really he only woke to go to loo and eat.
