    My mum's a hairdresser and she's told her countless times to leave her hair rest but she just doesn't listen so it's her own fault if it falls out. It looks really bad though, orange and yellow with patches of dark brown, black roots and half the length is missing XD

    The terrible twosome! LOL
    I have the unenviable task of trying to get her to take her worming tablet tomorrow. So much fun.

    lmfao Destiny tried eating my mom's shirt again when she asked if she was hungry again. Chandler and Joey are adorable. Joey seems to like water so when he's over by the sink I turn it on and he just kinda stands there drinking from it like a water fountain.

    Oliver was getting old too so maybe he just decided to leave because he knew he wouldn't be around much longer and didn't want me to go through it? I know that probably sounds silly, but it's just a thought.

    Shocked Has she never gone to a professional hairdresser? They would instantly tell her to tone it down or she'll end up bald. If she's bleaching her hair, she shouldn't be straightening it either. Apparently she wants to look like gollum.

    These two must siblings lmfao
    Awww poor kitten :(

    @ Xxzackysangel6661Xx
    Yeah, Thor tried doing it again last night. It's a toss up between trying to groom my hair and trying to pull it out lmfao Aww Chandler sounds adorable.

    That's the main thing, that he's smart when he does cross the road. Yeah, I'd say Oliver got lost and was adopted by another family. I'm sorry for the loss all the same. I've never had a kitty go missing before so I can only imagine how horrible it must be. Sad

    Haha my cat Destiny used to try and eat my hair when she'd try playing with it. It was when she was still really little but she's learned not to since then. One of the kittens tried playing with my necklace yesterday but I didn't get clawed at as much. One of them named Chandler did try and use my sneakers to sharpen his claws though which was interesting considering I've never seen a cat do that before.

    I'm just glad Onyx doesn't cross the street so much anymore but when he does, he's smart about it. The one time I've seen Oliver outside, he wanted back in the house right away. Even though I may never know what happened I'll always love him. He was my little baby. I still remember finding him under my bed at my old house as an early X-mas present when I got home from school when I was 6. Whenever he was scared or nervous, he'd always hide under my bed too

    Yeah, I got all my money back this morning. I know right? I could get at least £200 for them on Ebay, kinda bummed now she did pay me back haha.
    She used 40% volume bleach, the dick. I did tell her that it would be really harsh on her hair, but did she listen? What makes it worse is that she's using straighteners every single day which is just killing her hair. Oh well, not my problem.

    Bella does too, she was chewing on a stone yesterday XD
    She had her second lot of injections this morning, so she's all drowsy and dopey lol.

    Yeah kittens don't know just how deadly they are, or when too much is too much. I'm still trying to teach Thor that my hair and piercings are not chew toys and that not everything is scratchable.

    I'm glad Onyx has some road sense. He sounds a lot like Jasper. Jasper will look both ways and then move. Sometimes he'll dawdle, but for the most part he knows to piss bolt, and he always stops and waits if there is a car. He's very smart. I'm just worried that one day, he won't see/hear her coming. But I'm glad Onyx knows what's what. I'm sorry to hear about Oliver. Sad Perhaps he wandered too far and got lost and someone adopted him, it does happen. And if he didn't like being outside, then it sounds more likely that he did, in fact, lose his way.

    @ RachTheBat_
    Has she paid you yet? GHD's are worth a mint if they're in good condition.
    Shocked Jesus, what kind of dye did she get you to use? Holy shit.

    Thor is eating everything! I'm talking stickers, fabric, paper, if he can bite it, he goes for it. I've lost hair just saving him from the things he tries to chow down on Facepalm

    I snuck into her pit and took her GHD's, told her if she wants them back she has to pay me back. Con

    Half her hair has fallen out now so she's going bald too! XD

    I know right? I found Bella munching on half a beetle this morning, I'm like what the fuck? That's gross! lmfao

    I'm surprised I don't have marks from one of the kittens at the shop. She dug her claws into my neck but I know she didn't mean to. She was playing with a toy and when I picked her up, she happened to pick the toy up with her and kept playing. I hadn't expected that to happen Facepalm

    It has only happened once or twice. For the past couple weeks for some reason, he's wanted to sleep in the basement. Not quite sure why though.

    I don't like thinking about it either, but it has happened. Both to his sister Ebony and to Angelbaby sometime before that. I live near a busy road and a lot of people drive like morons on my street. Onyx doesn't cross the road as much as he used to but when he does, he always looks both ways before running as fast as his little legs can carry him. I noticed he started doing that after Ebony died. But when he goes outside now, he usually just stays around the house or on our side of the road. I did have a cat named Oliver for the longest time and I know he wandered outside, but I don't entirely know what happened to him. All I know is that one minute he was here, and then one day he was gone and I couldn't find him Cry He always hated being outside too. I can't help but wonder what happened to him you know? I had Oliver since I was 6 and he's been gone at least a couple years by now.

    Yeah I hate kitty claws when they scratch. I'm covered in puncture marks from where Thor has used me as a climbing pole Facepalm
    You need to put a pet bed up there for him, something with highish sides so he won't roll out and off of the fridge :D

    I don't even like the thought of one of our kitties being hit by a car. It scares the crap out of me. There's this woman in our street who speeds like a crazy person and I'm so scared she's going to run over Jasper, or Hollie if Hollie ever ventured out that far, and of course eventually Thor when he gets old enough to wander outside. I just know it'll kill me, I don't even want to contemplate what it would be like for the other kitties. I'm sorry you had to go through that Sad People are always saying cats are solitary only, and for the most part, they're right, but when cats do make friendships, they're very deep and very important. A loss hurts a cat just as much as a loss hurts us humans.

    @ RachTheBat_
    I would honestly just take some stuff from her room and sell it off on ebay to get your money back. What a rude, selfish little brat. Sell her shit and then slap her. File

    I hope it stays that way for a long time. Ugly hair will suit her ugly personality. Snob

    Kittens, don't they just eat everything. The strange animals XD

    Because my other half's niece is a complete bitch. I have been forbidden from taking Bella back to my house, even though she wants nothing to do with her anymore. All she does is come in and scream in her face, poor thing jumps a mile and scratches the shit out of me. I've had to deal with her throwing tantrums all day today, on next to no sleep. I'm raged. XD I spent £80 on barbecue food and party food today for the party we're throwing for his mum tomorrow, and she just went through it all and emptied it into the bin because, yet again, she couldn't get her own way. Asdhddhdfhsahsdkh arghh! Twitch

    She still looks ridiculous with orange hair! LOL

    So far, we've had no accidents with Bella, she's currently stuffing her face with my left over chips XD

    Exactly.

    Haha full crazy cat lady lmfao love it!

    Very true. My cats or at Luna will just drop and lay on the floor sometimes and she seems to be fine with it. Or in one of my mom's giant purses. When Onyx sleeps on the fridge though, half the time he almost falls off. One time he did, he scratched my arms while trying to catch himself.

    Aww poor kitty :( I felt so bad for Onyx when Ebony got hit by a car. I unfortunately found her the next morning after it happened Cry For quite awhile, even sometimes now I see Onyx lay by where my mom buried her. He doesn't do it nearly as often as he did then, but I know he probably still misses her a lot. Destiny and Luna are okay again but I also sort of wonder if she was also mad because she thought maybe Luna left like their mom did. It's times like this I wish I spoke cat so I knew what they were thinking and stuff.

    Especially when I have to go hunting for places he's sprayed in order to clean it up Grr

    Unless I go full crazy cat lady, I'll never know lmfao

    I think cat's will just sleep where ever they want, and where ever they drop. And they always sleep in some weird positions too. It's like "How can you possibly be comfortable?"

    Thanks, I hope he just gets better sooner rather than later, his sneezing attacks make me feel horrible because I can't do anything to help him Sad I'm glad, for both of them, that she got better. I'm hoping Thor will help Jasper out when Holly passes. She's getting real old and Jasper's comforted by knowing she's there. I don't want him to be panicked by her no longer being there. And I know what you mean about Destiny being pissed with her sister going away. Our cats do that when we go away. I think it's the whole "How dare you leave me, who do you think you are" mentality.

    I hope that stuff works for you. I can understand being frustrated with that.

    Haha that could be it too. Who knows?

    I have pictures of Onyx with his tongue out more than I do of my other cats. That could possibly be why he does that. He fallen asleep in the bathtub too. Out of any other possible place he could sleep he decides to go there haha. His sister Ebony when we had her, if she was outside used to sleep in the dog house XD

    I hope Thor feels better. I still remember when my mom told me what the vet told her and not only was I sad about it, but I could only think what is Luna going to do without her sister? They've hardly ever been apart from each other. The only time they have been separated was just recently for a few days because poor Luna was sick and had to stay at the vet to figure out what was wrong. She got better, but I think Destiny might have been a little mad at her for a bit once she was back home.

    Jasper's started spraying everywhere Facepalm I guess I'd rather him spraying over him attacking Thor, but it's frustrating just as much. I've purchased that Feliway stuff off of ebay(44bucks instead of 72 in most vet stores) so I'm hoping when it gets here, it works. I don't want stressed out kitties :(

    I think she's just old and holding a grudge hahaha.

    Thor likes to sit there with his little tongue poking out. It's crazily adorable Cute I'd say Onyx is sleeping on the fridge because it's high up, possibly also because it's out of the way but probably more so because it's above everyone else XD

    I took Thor to the vet today and he does have mild cat flu. I have medication for him to take to get him better, so I'm happy. It still cost me 152 bucks for the visit though Facepalm I'm glad Destiny is okay now, there's nothing worse than waiting for the bad to happen Sad

    @ RachTheBat_
    LLLLLAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLL!!! Take that tehe

    Thor's trying to eat everything but some things aren't doing him favors and go right through him, the poor fella.

    Cat's are sane in their insanity tehe Aww no, how come you can't take her home? :(

    Her hair went orange XD
    Like, bright fucking orange with black and brown stripes going through it. It looks horrendous! lmfao

    Bella eats anything and everything, the little fatty. She loves ice cream and the custard you get in custard slices, she goes crazy for that stuff! The only thing she really turned her nose up at was pepperoni, I don't blame her though, it's nasty.

    She loves plastic bags too! She likes to make a little home in them and hide away from everyone, it's so cute. Her favourite place is the wash basket though, she loves laying in all the dirty clothes XD I'm not allowed to take her home with me, so I'll never know how she would have interacted with poppy Sad

    I'm just glad none of my cats are like that anymore haha although I gotta say, out of all the cats I've had, Angelbaby was the only one that really was ever like that.

    That is strange. Maybe she knows she's outnumbered by guys now? I don't know :P

    Cats are wonderful. I love watching my cats' expressions to different things sometimes. Or how sometimes they stick their tongues out lmfao I can't leave my cups of water laying around with them either because they'll stick their head in that too. My cats, the girls especially have a fascination with boxes. They'll lay in laundry baskets or paper bags too at times. Destiny likes sleeping in paper bags for some reason. Luna doesn't do it as much. Onyx sleeps on top of the fridge at times. No clue why though

    That's probably it. I remember Destiny got sick not long after she was fixed. They said something was wrong with her heart and she only had a few months left. This was years ago but luckily she's still alive and kicking. My mom thinks someone gave her too much anastesia (whatever that stuff is that they give you before surgery that knocks you out) and that it made her sick.

    Yeah, Jasper might just be doing it to let Thor know that "This is my castle boy, keep your shit under wraps or we'll have words." Jasper's beefy and badass that way haha.

    Jasper's learned that Holly has a low tolerance for him. I think she's still pissed about him taking over the nest lmfao She's actually seemingly okay with him now that we have Thor though, which is strange XD

    Cat's are strange and wonderful creatures lmfao I love the looks some of them get on their faces XD Yeah ice-cream carton, container, whatevs XD Jasper used to climb right into those, the little shit haha.

    It's probably how it is. Sibling set up. I can pick on my sibling, but the second someone else does, it's on. lol. I'm hoping the vet's just like "He'll be fine, give him this." or something. I don't want a very sick baby, it's heart breaking. And if it's crazy bad, I don't know what I'll do, I can't afford another vet bill like Jaspers when he had Bronchitis.

    Onyx stopped spraying after he was fixed. My sister's cat Angelbaby after we got Onyx and his sister (years before Luna and Destiny) the second we had them even though she was fixed was like "I shall pee on everything you love" I even woke up to her peeing on my bed while I was sleeping on it. I was not happy about that at all. She stopped after awhile, but and even though we all loved her, she was a bit of a diva. She may not have minded our boys, but I think she hated that at that time, there was another girl cat in the house.

    Aww that's cute. The second Destiny sees Onyx is back in the house she'll either follow him to the food since he usually goes there or she'll just go up to him, sniff him and then go back to doing whatever it was she was doing.

    Luna loves all types of food. Onyx will eat too. Destiny is a bit picky with her food. She loves tuna though. If I give her like ham though, she'll sniff it and then stare at me like "Am I really supposed to eat that?" Onyx loves ice cream too. I have a picture of him sticking his head in a nearly empty ice cream carton (i don't really know what to call it) i think he was standing on an empty pizza box too lmfao

    Sometimes I wonder that about Luna and Destiny XD Aww I'm sorry to hear that. If that is the case that it does have a cat flu, it doesn't get really bad and they get better.

    I don't understand why Jasper's doing it, he was desexed as soon as he was old enough to be desexed Twitch But oh welly, it's a cats thing, if he feels better by peeing on my door and marking it as his, I'll deal with it for as long as it takes him to calm down.

    That's lovely, knowing she's worried about him! Jasper does that with Holly, if he can't find her, he'll wander around the house yowling and looking for her, then when he finds her, he goes back to doing whatever it was he was doing before he realized she wasn't inside or around. It's a sign of a relatively close bond I think.

    Jasper is pretty much an addict lmfao Ham, chicken, tuna(I don't feed them cat food[except Thor, but that'll probably change when he's no longer a kitten]but tins of tuna. Normal cat food makes them both sick.) Holly loves salami and Jasper is crazy for cheese, ice-cream, cream, milk, pizza, pasta....actually, pretty much anything we'll eat he'll eat lmfao If he won't eat it, we won't lol. He also goes all dreamy eyed when eating Philadelphia cream cheese, the little glutton XD

    I think Jasper does it because he's under the idea that only he can bother Holly lmfao Thanks. The vet assistant said it sounded like mild cat flu, which I hope is not true at all. I've lost a kitty to cat flu before Sad

    You have a point with the hissing. I know some cats at the adoption center in the store have hissed at me but I know it's probably because some of them are probably scared. But in some cases some may actually be being mean. Sometimes it's a bit hard to tell. Before we got him fixed, Onyx used to do that a lot. Maybe not so much the doors but like I remember him spraying a wall and I was like "Did you really just do that?"

    When Onyx goes outside, I know the girls worry about him. Destiny seems to worry about him especially. I honestly think it may have something to do with the fact that their mother disappeared a year after they were born. I to this day have no clue what happened to her :/ But anytime I go outside to get Onyx or even if I come inside without him day or night Destiny is always at the door meowing almost as if asking "Where is he?"

    My cats love chicken or ham tehe If Luna even smells it she's like right by me meowing for it. She loves her food lol

    Hahaha that's awesome that Jasper stands up for Holly. Aww I hope your kitty isn't sick either.
