Dad always pretended not to be very interested in animals, but Ive just remembered how when I was about 7 and had a pet hamster, Dad would let her  curl up and sleep in his cardigan pocket ....  and how Leon always sat on Dad's lap.


Same as my dad, I had to bring my hamster to my parent's house over Christmas one year, my dad complained, said it would smell, said it would have to stay in the shed etc. One day I came home and found him feeding little Gracie lettuce through the bars  :Luv: :rofl: They're all just big softies really!

What a super ramp - Blips going to love it

 Reading about it adn seeing the pictures  brought a lump to my throat - my Dad built a little ramp for their cat as he got older and couldnt get through the cat flap (the cat, Leon, not my Dad :evillaugh:)  Leon had been my brother's cat but had stayed at his original home when my brother went to university.  Dad put carpet on Leon's ramp to stop him slipping

Dad always pretended not to be very interested in animals, but Ive just remembered how when I was about 7 and had a pet hamster, Dad would let her  curl up and sleep in his cardigan pocket ....  and how Leon always sat on Dad's lap.

Thanks for unintentionally bringing back some very happy memories  :hug:

Has she used it yet?

The third picture shows Blip's reaction so far but the ramp only came at 09.00 this morning.

I'm guessing the black stripes are a bit like sandpaper?

Soft sandpaper, if that makes sense.

Is it fixed onto the door?

No, it's freestanding, but with a sort of under-lip that secures it against the threshold.  It's made of light wood so that it can't be used to smash the windows.

Can I just point out that we don’t have moss growing all over our patio: it’s pouring with rain here today and the wetness has come out an eerie colour in the security light.

Great ramp, though, isn't it?

Blip's little ramp has arrived! Update: she exits through it for first time!
« Reply #1 on: January 20, 2010, 11:15:04 AM »
My wonderful builder delivered Blip's little ramp this morning.  It's great!  I have taken a picture of it if someone could resize it for me: others may be interested in the (simple) design.

And do you know, he is not going to charge me for making it: he said it's a present for beautiful Blip.  I've already recommended him to a colleague and two neighbours, but even so, not all people would take that generous attitude.
