Me,Mum and the moggy

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin,,,please don't judge me,,it was all done with love (lmao)

When I was a teenager (18),,my sister K had a beautiful baby girl ,totally out of the blue,no signs of pregnancy,,had tummy ache,taken to hospital with suspected appendicitis,came out of hospital armed with a baby !!

Anyway..baby got to toddling age and kindly Aunty Nik (thats me,,my name isn't really Inca,,Inca is my black cat)..
decided to buy her a kitten,,not any old kitten but a beautiful ginger tom kitten,,he was a stunner,and soooooo cute,,he used to sit on my shoulder whilst I cleaned my teeth and drink water direct from the tap..I expected him to be given a big butch name,like Aslan (lion from Lion Witch & Wardrobe),,or Bageraa,(Jungle Book) so what does she name him?? she named him BUNGLE !! after the gay bear on Rainbow!! Flipping BUNGLE !!!
So,,living at home were Me,Mum,Dad,K,Kiddo and BUNGLE !!
Bungle grew up to be the most beautiful cat,,massive,loving and a total snob,,my Mum fed him the best of everything,and when K got her own place the decision was made to leave Bungle with Mum as they were so attached.
I got married and left home,had my own cat called Gorbachov Mandela Perastroika Archimedes Ambrose ,
Still Bungle gloried on.
Fast forward to 1995,and my beautiful wonderful Mum passed away,,it was horrendous for all of us,,and even ole Bungle noticed ,Mum was buried in the new family plot we purchased (title deeds in my brothers name T.)
Anyway,,old Bungle started losing weight and was on his last legs,we took him to a vet who said he was pining for my Mum,,then my Dad died,,he was cremated and his ashes interred in Mums grave,
Poor ole Bungle gave up after that,and died peacefully in the back garden,my sister K rang me,said she was going to see to him,and see to him she did,,she had him cremated and turned up at my door with his remains in a proper bloody casket!!
So,,we 3 sisters decide to bury the casket in the grave,,not too far down,and other side of Dad,so off we pop in my car,,dig a hole,bury casket,,and tidy up,,very pleased with ourselves cos after all,,Mum would approve.

What we didn't bargain on was my sister dying 6 weeks later..very shocking,,and her wishes were to be cremated and be interred in with Mum & Dad..funeral took place and we tottered up to cemetary the next day to inter her ashes,,,,,,,it was only as we were walking to the grave that the awful realisation hit me,,,,,THE CAT'S IN THERE !!
I had to tell my brother ,quickly,incase they had found a random casket in there :
My brother is a very very classy man,,very upright and smart,,so I'm holding his hand,with my sisters laughing their heads off,walking toward the grave and I meekly said,,Umm you remember Bungle? he smiled down on me,then the smile became a grimace as the realisation of what we had done dawned on him and he spluttered thru gritted teeth' do not tell me that mangy toothless git is buried in that grave,cos if he is and they have found him,you are DISOWNED',When we got to grave they had literally missed him by inches :rip2:,...when we got back to the wake,,he hauled me and my sisters into a back room and turned the air blue !! Oh the language was shocking but at least ole Bungle is where Mum wanted him to be

Re: Me,Mum and the moggy

Aiden had a big ginger tom called Sebastian, don't ask I have no idea, and we would swear he had a watch on!

He would go to the window and yowl, so Aid would open the window and say, "Right you.. dishcloth, you got half hour! Don't be late or it's the violin factory for you!"
As if the devil out of hell, 29 mins later we would hear the unmistakable sound of wet cat paw on glass, and there would be Sebastian tapping on the window, purring to be let in.
Then silly @rse would get my hair drier out and say "Come on.. hearthrug!" and blow dry him, all the time doing his best Camp Hairdresser impression "Now darling a few highlights, maybe a bow..."
One time I said you try and put a bow in that cat's fur and he'll rip your face off!
So he stole the ribbon I had in my hair, and tied a big scarlet bow on Seb's head, and the stupid thing let him!!

Oh and another time his sister (who insisted on referring to me as Satan's Messenger) was saying how mobile phones were the work of the devil and there were satanic messages coming through the airwaves (yeh she was a bit divvy) and Aiden popped down to look in the kitchen cupboard, and came back up with Seb in his arms, and they both had little tin foil hats on! He said I'm safe! and she stormed out!!!

Re: Me,Mum and the moggy

Not a cat.
A big gormless Beagle cross called Jemma but was known by us as jemplestink!
That dog was so stupid!
Could do a back flip chasing a ball and could "talk" to you!
if she had been a cat she would have used up all of the nine lives!
She jumped over a fence and landed on barbed wire, picked up some poison on some waste ground from us, she was a rescue and we had been told she had been "done" not the case, she escaped (good at that) and found her "attached" to a dog.
Vet said he would be unable to tell if she was pregnant but after about a week she was really poorly took he again and she had a pyometria.
On the day of my Dads funeral she escaped ran after a cat and wham was hit by a car, instant,
My daughter was devastated, she was her dog and she had often gone walks with her and "Granddad" we always said that she had gone to keep him company on his walks,
Still miss her now after over sixteen years. xx

Re: Me,Mum and the moggy

Dogtired,,you will always miss her,,pets get into your heart..As a child we had a bloody great big GSD,my Dad was a dog handler in both the Army and Civilian police.He retired just as I was born and noone else could handle Kim,,so they gave him to me (Toothless,bald,nappywearing me!!) NO COMMENTS REQUIRED APERTAINING TO WETHER I GREW TEETH HAIR AND POTTYTRAINED !
I adored that dog,,we all did,,never saw my Dad cry before ole Kim turned his toes up at 23..I can close my eyes and be right back there with him x

Re: Me,Mum and the moggy

23 is a very good age for a GSD, Inca. But your tale about Bungle really made me chuckle.

Kim was so gorgeous BB,,,provided noone came near his puppies (us kids)..he held my Aunty hostage,she came in to check on us young ones who had gone to bed leaving the adults to enjoy the bonfire party.Kim let her in,,let her go upstairs,let her down to the bottom step,,,and just sat in front of her,,every time she tried to move he lifted his 'Elvis' lip and gave a grumble,,,Aunty was stuck there for 45 mins till Mum realised she was missing

Re: Me,Mum and the moggy

OMG the dogs we have had!!

Firstly we had Goldie, who was a he, and he was the a bitsa,bitsa this bitsa that.
He was a rescue and he loved everyone but the postman! and my "Uncle" Frank.
Everyone else in the street was greeted with a wet nose and a waggy tail, Frank got charged at with a volley of barks (plus waggy tail) until he said "Goldie you stupid mutt its ME!!" Worst thing Our Goldie ever did was to lay along the front bench seat of a Bedford Camper van we had, and as a cyclist came up he let out one greeting WOOF! and the cyclist nearly fell off his bike!

Then we had Dessie, he was a collie/lab cross, black and white and no brain!
The worst thing he did was, I was going on holiday to Devon with my bf at the time, and I took him for a long run. I had taken the car with me, and he got comfy in the passenger side footwell, the police were stopping cars for MOT/insurance/tax checks, and I got asked for my details, I said I will pass them out.. DO NOT put your hand in to the car.
The officious, i mean OFFICIAL saw me trying to get the paperwork out of the glovebox and reached in, despite my warnings not to, and Des came up, leapt out the opened window and chased him down the road.
My memories of him chasing the man are only made more hillarious by the memories of the police taking bets on how far the two of them would go! I got out and whistled, Des chased back (by now the idiot has forgotten why he is chasing this man and thinks hes a bloody greyhound in a race) and leapt back in the window and smiled all the way home.
No action was ever taken as 1, he didn't hurt anyone 2, the official had been told not to put his hand in the car, and 3 the police thought it was hysterical and were petting him and telling him how clever he was (don't think he was a popular man somehow!!)

Then we got Lucy, a full blooded border collie, she was batty!
She would chase a tennis ball at top speed, get there first then bark at it till Des came and stole it!

Bailey (or Boo) was a bearded collie/GSD and as vicious as teddy bear.
One christmas my dad had a skinful and forgot to shut the door, the stupid mutt lay on the steps and watched someone come in and steal all our booze! We knew someone had been in as Boo had the mutton bone and hadnt worked out how to open the fridge door!

Luna is our ridgeback/GSD and she is totally insane, her party trick is to leap in to Mr R's arms, belly up, wagging her entire body!
She once decided to run from our garden to the living room, bouncing off the sofa like a springboard, for half an hour, then flopped on the floor with a look that read, Why did i just do that??

Amber is our GSD/Lab mix and shes a bloody barrel, she got spayed and went sidewards!
She is as mean as an old boot, and the baby sleeps with his head on her stomach! She loves everyone barring the postman and she has excema, its most embarressing rubbing E45 in to a dog, i get the oddest looks.
Once the In Laws bathed her and she ran about the garden looking like a bloody poodle covered in shampoo where she had escaped!
