He's certainly being well loved. I'm on baby sitting duty this weekend. Miss DT is taking the twins for their first pub outing and she is scared she'll squash him if she's p*ssed. Told her I'm pretty sure she'd come off second best, but probably a good thing for long term relations if he comes here. That face! I fell in love with him too. Big personality for a little chap.

What will Gus, Daisy and Garfield think of the babysitting?

They won't be chuffed, but they're used to me taking in over nighters.

You do know you have to give him back?

Out of curiosity how are cats permitted to fly domestically? Are they allowed in the cabin or do they have to be caged up in the hold?

Of course I know that Ali. They have to fly on ANZ in the hold in an 'approved' carrier sp.

It didn't. Getting Gus put down pretty much f*cked up everyone's weekend.

Daisy is all over everything. She is certainly more visible. Mr DT's brother is staying atm..... she LUVS Mr DT's brother!

They all behave quite differently when one of the 4 legged family dies. The personality changes are sometimes surprising! Best check Mr DT's bags when he leaves - he may have a concealed feline if you don't

The cunning witch! I'm onto her!
She's going to Nelson next weekend (to meet her lovely man friends parents). I get Bentley Thursday night til Monday night.
Cool!
Except.................
There's a vet visit on the Friday! Evil little bag is going to get me to do the mean stuff!
I feel a 'spoil the grandkitty rotten all weekend' coming on. Too bad I can't send him home with a sugar rush to boot!

PMSL - don't worry about Bentley. He will LOVE the Vet - any attention and of course the adulation he will get. We need some more pics of the dear wee man.

Did you see the one J liked on fb? Of Bentley sleeping on the dog?
He HATES outside passionately. Or maybe it was grass. Anyway, if she wants to hang out washing he's not helping. Maybe moral support from the window sill, but that's it!

No - didn't see the photo and for some reason I can find it now either.

She's so lucky that both her flatmates and her man friend love him to bits too. Makes for a much easier life for all.

Especially when he REALLY sorts everyone out into living their lives they way HE thinks they should. One look at that face would melt most hearts anyway. Bentley is such a cool wee dude. I love the friendship he has with Van. Margaret has two little dogs and although Bentley would not have actually played with them, he would have been used to just having them around.

Van is the right dog for it too. He's only about 7 months old, so no real preset bad behaviours, plus he was raised with 2 big grumpy cats that wouldn't run from him so he doesn't chase cats.
J tells me when Bentley's had enough of Van he picks up Van's top lip and give it a tug. That sits him on his rump pretty fast and (from experience) probably brings a tear to his eye.

Good boy Bentley - PMSL. Ouch - that would really hurt! Heidi (my darling old Siamese) used to try and get my attention by tapping my face gently while I was asleep. The taps would gradually get harder and when that failed (I used to pretend to be asleep) she would stick one claw in my nostril and slowly pull it out. That usually got my undivided attention. Has Bentley won the older cats over yet or is that still a work in progress?

It's actually good that Bentley hates the outdoors at the moment. The longer he is an indoor kitten for, the more likely it is that he will be a homebody. I kept my lot in for a number of months before they were allowed out, except for Yogi. I'd have the cat door locked intentionally but darling sweet kind Zara used to unlock the cat door for him and hold the flap open for him too. It was either kindness or she was hoping he'd run away
