The Mock Turtle

Well, I'm not totally selfish. I might get to meet Mr Skips again ~ and he's a hottie.

I will come and collect him. I will bring Mr S by way of thanking you.

One thing to bear in mind Skips, is that I have a cat and dog already.

Chester was with another cat in the home but I have no idea what he would be like with a dog. I do feel more positive now though so hopefully something will work out.

Of course, it would be best if he was closer to you than out here, but don't be getting yourself stressed and worried, if there's nobody closer, I'll have him.

Sorted!

I would have had him for you if I didn't already have a cat who will not be very impressed at the idea of her space being invaded

You would have trouble getting him back from me though

can we have some more pictures of him skips, now the old ones have been swallowed?

Mine are free range, my road is quiet and I back onto allotments. I also live in Essex. I could attempt to contain him, some of mine are too busy sleeping to venture out anyway, if you need an alternative to Tybalt the catnapper.

Chester decided to make a bid for freedom and fell from our third floor flat (he got out one of the windows and either fell or saw something and went for it). He has come away pretty much unscathed with only a bruised chin and some shaved bits to show for it. Our bank balance is very much lighter whilst we wait for the pet insurance to be paid.

Ouch. Glad he's ok, though.

Oh, poor Chester! I am glad he is ok.

Poor thing! James did that as a tiny kitten, fell from our balcony (only first floor, thank goodness) and landed in the downstairs garden, I have never felt so guilty in my life!

I was so worried and so guilty as it was me that opened the window. We now have a fly screen covering the window when it's open, although I was awake half the night thinking it wouldn't do the trick.

Oh no! Silly boy. I'm glad he's ok.

They're demons, they should really know they can't just leap out of windows. I'm sure on of Cos's did similar the other week too.

Ronnie & Reggie once jumped out the upstairs bedroom window through the blinds that are quite stiff and I really didn't think a cat would think to get through. They must have jumped straight down onto the garden below, and promptly both disappeared all day (leaving me panicking that they'd both broken bones) but no, they sauntered in at 5pm totally fine.

Poor Chester! I'm glad he's ok. I've actually seen Marmite jump out of the bathroom window and land on the top of the garden parasol below. She only did it the once.

Oh, how terrifying! -=[[999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Glad to hear Chester has had a lucky escape.

Picky has jumped/fallen from my window too, second floor. Knowing she was gone (she didn't jump on my head yowling for breakfast) and then seeing the window open and having to look down - it was horrible, I was convinced I'd see her broken little body at the bottom. I ran downstairs and called her a couple of times, not expecting anything, and heard her unmistakable miaow and she came bounding back, miracously unscathed. I think she gave herself a bit of a fright when she realised that the outside world wasn't all that and she had no way of getting back inside.

It's one of the main reasons I got her insured.
