Finished working in the switchroom now

trying to find an alternative bolthole, The external bootlockers have heaters

but no real reason to be there, unless we are changing our footware n stuff

, oh well as they say out here, " If it's cold, remember to take Lot's of Frequent T-Break's " hmmmmm, thats never been a problem in the past, even when it's warm

Great Names Mymbles

I think it might be a work in progress thing for Stretchy pooh

Glad to see other peoples cats have evolving names. I told the vet this once about our old cat and he looked at me like I was mad. Our old cat Greycat ended up as Grif, our new two are Buffy - Boo and Xander - Zoid. Although Grif had 14 year to reach her name so these two could have a few more before we get to their real names.

Its bitter cold here so dread to think what it must be like on the rig..........outside.

Hope you stay warm and Stretchy/Robbie will be waiting for you when you get home.

Echo this, hope youre keeping warm

Too right. Mac gets Macbeenz, or just Beenz, or Macbeenz MacSquee, or stripey jim-jams or Ninja Beenz.... Paddy was the same - Pad The Lad, Paddy Padmeister, The Persil Kid......

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #43 on:** January 31, 2012, 18:57:46 PM »

I agree with Liz

Mine all have other names except Ducha

Lupin is Loopy or Meep. Misa is Misaman and gorgeous hunk lol, Sasa is Sasacat and Miss Sasa.

have to say none of ours are called my official names, Tilly is Tot, Oscar is Skeener, Amber is Bim and Star is Starbee

Liz · « **Reply #41 on:** January 31, 2012, 18:49:18 PM »

I keep coming back to gaze at Robbie Has he met Marissa yet?

Sorry, the internet out here is like dial up

and you could spend 10 minutes typing then the damned pc freezes and you lose
everything at times

Name still pretty much undecided, I might do a poll

Carol calls him Robbie and I still call him Stretchy

He has met Marissa Helen, but he is uninterested, doesn't even go into her Bedroom, but maybe thats because there isn't a carpet
( Laminated ) and no Comfy Bed ( Cot )
Damn, He spends a lot of time sleeping upstairs

and I think the longest he has stayed in the living room was 20 minutes
Still early days I suppose, He still doesn't seem bothered about wanting outside, although He did sneak out when Carol was hanging
out washing, she thought he was upstairs sleeping

He came back in basically straight away when Carol shook the
Dreamies

never ate any tho

Carol has bought Him a Safety collar so she can hear the bell ( one of them safety collars that you set for the cat's weight or something?)
She won't tell me the price of it tho

anyway, still got one week to go till i get home

JackSpratt · « **Reply #38 on:** January 29, 2012, 10:32:43 AM »

I definitely prefer Stretchy.

Hey Stuart, do a poll....

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #37 on:** January 29, 2012, 08:47:44 AM »

I remember Shuie - he was also in a war film - can't recall the name of it, but he was playing the pipes on the beach at Dunkirk.

Might have been "The Longest Day" and I think it was in black and white

Strechy!!!

Mind you, with it having been Burns Night on Wednesday, Robbie is a good name too.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #32 on:** January 26, 2012, 12:24:09 PM »

Well, well, well - am now catching up with things and delighted to read that Stretchy/Robbie [insert change of name here] has got his paws well and truly under the table. He's definitely smiling in that first pic. And well he ought.

Bless him, he looks a real little charmer. Gorgeous Boy. Definitely ooks like a Robbie tho.

Thanks Guys

erm, Robbie / Robert may be reverted back to Stretchy as it's not sitting well with Carol
FFS it was Her who Didn't like the name Stretchy in the first place

Women's perogative to change her mind

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #30 on:** January 25, 2012, 17:30:24 PM »

I like Stretchy and Robbie, I like Robbie best though

He's certainly made himself at home

sheilarose · « **Reply #26 on:** January 24, 2012, 22:16:27 PM »

Stuart - can't tell you how happy this makes me - so pleased for you, Carol and Big Robbie.

Of course, Stretchy was a fab name, and still suits him so well, with that big cheesy grin stretching across his smug chubby chops as he stretches across your bed

I hope Big Robbie snores a little bit too, it'll keep Carol company while you're away at work

What a result - you treasure, you.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #25 on:** January 23, 2012, 01:53:33 AM »

Yes he is definately grinning and made me smile

funkiechicken · « **Reply #24 on:** January 22, 2012, 23:28:09 PM »

Robbie's definitely looking like he's settled in well!! His plan is clearly right on schedule

He's a real bruiser of a lad

but a big softie!! awww....looks like he knew exactly where to go to get an amazing forever home

mad_lilli · « **Reply #23 on:** January 22, 2012, 23:04:54 PM »

Stuart - Robbie looks like he's got his paws right under the duvet! What a handsome dude he is! Is he a cuddlebum? He looks like he should be a cuddlebum! He reminds me of a cat my mum and I had.. Floyd followed me home in Sept 1991 and never left! Beautiful BIG tabby like Robbie and a total sop. X

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #22 on:** January 22, 2012, 14:19:06 PM »

Stuart - Robbie is just gorgeous

I am so pleased you have found each other and what a clever boy he is choosing the best slaves ever.

I really hope it works out for you all

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2012, 13:55:06 PM »

Of course he's smiling, he's chosen his perfect slave

He is, in fact it almost looks like he is smiling in the first pic

Just chill's all day upstairs

aww well done

i did figure he had adopted you allready though

he looks like a right chunk

Stuart · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2012, 09:00:21 AM »

Thanks Guy's

I initially thought he had always been an outdoor cat, but.... He fairly knows his comforts
and He knows what a litter tray is for

Carol sleeps in the front room ( due to me snoring

) and I usually get too hot anyway
So Robbie spent his first free run of the house night Bed Hopping

He woke me up a few times by Purring in my Face

I dunno if it was the trip to the vet's
or the application of the Flea stuff, but he seemed a bit off colour yesterday and had only 2.5
sachets of food, His nose was dry and warm, this morning however it is cold and wet, so far he
has had two sachets of grub.
He is still under house arrest, but I have bought a collar for him from tesco's, Don't know if it's
a safety collar or not ( it has a small clip for fixing instead of a buckle ) it seemed pretty easy to
disconnect, If Robbie ever got his collar caught in something he would get free, But. I wanted to
make it even slacker and rubbed the catch down with sand paper, It basically falls out now

I'll have to get another one

Will keep you all updated on his Progress

oh btw, I liked Stretchy as a name too, But it will be Robbie now

souffle · « **Reply #14 on:** January 21, 2012, 23:29:31 PM »

He is one very lucky kitty to have found you both. Looking forward to hearing lots more about him and congratulations on your new addition.
Stretchy is a nice name but so is Robbie

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #13 on:** January 21, 2012, 23:14:51 PM »

This is fabulous news Stuart

So pleased for Robbie, and you and Carole of course

Liz · « **Reply #12 on:** January 21, 2012, 20:40:31 PM »

I like Robbie, one night in his rescue place sort of worked in his favour then

So glad that you will be doing more about the house and that Marissa has a big brother again

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #11 on:** January 21, 2012, 19:42:01 PM »

now how did we all know thay this would be the outcome. Even Atretchy looks like he is thinking ... "well that was easier than I expected" LOL.

Stuart you are such a big softie .... and that's we love ya!

Congrats to you, Carol and the big furry lump .... I'm sure you will all be very happy together
