As readers know, my Vinnie has a crystals in the bladder thing going on. This requires him to be a very strict diet of dried biscuits. On the whole, this diet is proving to be working, although I know have some weight issues with Vinnie.

It seems that you can’t have it all, he is healthy, but now overweight, and being overweight increases the chances of crystals. Round and round it all goes!

So, now that his antibiotics have finished, and as soon as I can get some digital scales, the diet of Big Fella Vinnie will commence.

Scooter on the other hand, has biscuits for breakfast and a mixture of wet and biscuits for dinner. It works well and he is healthy and at a good weight.

So, anyway…… last night I decided to treat them both with a small piece of coley each. I get them in packs of 4 and they get one each once a month.

On went the microwave, and as if by magic, the world breaking gold medallist cats for getting from the lounge to the kitchen appeared. From their deep slumber they realised that I was not cooking for me, but fish for them. How could they know that without seeing what I was doing?

The plastic box went round, the fish smells came out and my 2 silly black sausages sat there, almost in a trance, watching it all happen. As soon as the dinger went off, all hell broke loose. Cats wrapped round my feet, curling round my ankles, meowing in the loudest fashion, and creating an impossible task to get past them to put the fish in their dishes.

As we all waited for the fish to cool off, my 2 cats really did, for those 3 brief minutes, become the most loving creatures on this planet. Face rubbing, chirping, purring and generally full on loving. Lots of sweet nothings and big eyes staring lovingly at me.

The fish went down, the sound of cat eating echoed round the kitchen.

At the same time, they both cleared their bowls, and it looked as if there had never been any fish placed in there.

They looked up to me and meowed again, somewhat pitifully, begging for more fish.

I bent down and said “there is no more boys”.

I never saw them again for almost 3 hours. Talk about fickle!!!!

Honestly, for the love of fish.......!!!!
