Meg and Mog are house cats and we live in a first floor flat. Now at 2 and a half Mog has discovered the living room window. Mr Owl vapes so he opens the window to vape. Mog goes running every time she hears the window opening and hangs out it and has now more than once climbed out onto the ledge. We’re sure she’ll be fine but we don’t fancy having to go to our downstairs neighbour Gill to ask for our cat back. Along with her sudden window obsession Mog is also obsessed with our external staircase and dives round legs to get out so she can add her scent to them by constant rubbing. Maybe she feels it’s too busy now Mr Owl and I are home as she loved the inside life before.

My dogs desperate for a haircut. I'd do it myself but barks might get round, so his friends could look in the window to point and laugh.
Decisions...

I have to admit, although Betty hasn't been using the litter tray while the weather has been nice, I put it down last night - and yes, she's used it.
However, she hasn't done what she used to do - kick litter all over the place :-(
I'm hoping she just used it because it was there, and it was raining.

Dobby is a couch potato
She is loving this lock down
So she cant go for a walk
As we are to stay in for 3 months

She only likes going out if we get the car keys :-D :-D :-D

One of my sisters cats loved it when she was self isolating and wouldn’t leave her side except to eat and use the litter tray, there is a cat flap but he won’t go outside now. I think cats have an instinct that tells them something is wrong and that their human needs them.

My rescued cat Rhodri is enjoying being out in the garden and wandering around the front now there's nobody about.

He had a bad start to life and he is still very nervous. It's lovely to see him looking relaxed in his garden :-)

Our dog's the opposite Sharron, he misses waiting at the gate and telling his dad all about how he played me up. :-(

I love the way the dog is so happy and even turns to his owner as if to say ' OMG it's my very best friend' :-D :-D <3

Ralphie has always been sensitive to noise but had got used certain noises like airplanes and road traffic, now when the occasional airplane goes over it sounds like thunder and it can freak him out :-0

Ralphie still gets to see his friends early every morning. The following clip just shows that dogs have best friends too and how good it is to meet them after a month in lockdown
