Thread: Farewell to Monty's Family Jewels

You're definitely right there!

Many's a time when I've wandered in on Nige having a tete-a-tete with "his lad" about his day at work

Was laughing at him yesterday cos I just know that when he drives the monster to the vet next Wednesday he will be having a little man-to-man discussion about what fate awaits him!!!

Just catching up on this thread... oh my, how many wise words have been said!

Grumpy husbands touched by Maine Coon Magic … very familiar territory. Don’t get me started.

@Peter Galbavy: “Are we happy because we are MC people or are we MC people because we are happy ?”
Just look at it this way. The other day Tatja jumped from the scratching barrel with such force it tipped over, shattering two large Areca palms in their pots. Looking at the ravage, hubby and I shrugged and said: “Oh well, they’re big strong cats. It was to be expected.” We cleaned up the mess and started designing an extra-sturdy climbing ‘solution’ to replace the old barrel. (Hope to show some results soon.)

@Halcyon: I looooove them in the sleeves! To add to Peter’s comment… if they had sequins it would be like David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust days.

@Rachel: Don’t mean to make you feel uneasy, but ‘no balls’ El Monto still keeps trying the hanky-panky with little Minnie. But then again he’s not the brightest of cats. Sweet but silly.

LOL, oh dear God - will have to invest in a furry cushion to give Gracie a break then!!!

Heheh… El Monto’s dad has a cushion like that. I’ve seen him using it shamelessly while visitors were sitting next to him on the sofa… say no more.

You have really made me chuckle tonight, although I must ask if the pain killers for your broken toe are affecting your mind... you've gone all Dr Seuss!

They look SOOO cute in those vests!! If OH played Rugby I'd try that with one of his next week when Wicca goes in!

Rach and Antonia - I think you have both demonstrated exactly why MC owners are such a happy bunch; if you can cope with your cat shagging your best soft furnishings, you can handle anything life throws at you!!

Hey there
Good luck to monty! Dudley should be minus his CJs too by the end of Monday if he's deemed well enough for the op!

Or he will spend the journey driving cross legged saying sorry to him over and over again

Just thought I'd let you know that Monty had his op yesterday and everything went according to plan.

He was bouncing around all evening last night - so much so we did wonder if they'd actually operated.

The vet made me laugh when I went to pick him up as she commented on how mischievous he was - seems not even having his nuts cut off can keep him down

Glad to hear your Monty is okay and back to his old tricks again.
