House update

For those thrilled with such things: The cat's now in and so is the catflap. She's very suspicious and is using emotional blackmail to get me to feed her premium catfood. It won't last, the stuff stinks. But she's in, and didn't crap on my bed in the night, and has had her first fight. She lost, of course.

The weird overflow is the immersion - its ball-cock doesn't stop off properly. Am trying repeated drain-and-fill attempts to wiggle it back in place otherwise it's plumber time. Bathroom floor is totally rotted but that's fine...

You mean, the cat didn't go in first? Its traditional in Russia that the first person into a new house should be a cat. Where the cat sits tells you what sort of life you'll have in that place.

But I always lock the cat in a bedroom on moving in. Just what are those Russians implying?

I think if the cat goes and sits on the bed it means lots and lots of luvwy lil sproglets :-)

Cat free, I almost look human again.

Yay!

I think it's safe to say that you're improved for decatulation. But as my old Nan used to say (she so sour a thistle grew on her grave), "a cat makes a house a home". Mind you, she also served slices of brains fried in dripping as a treat for Sunday breakfast...
