Transference

 In view of Albert’s psycho melt down last night I took Roger to today’s Trelawnyd Community Association meeting in the Hall. 
He was good as gold and watched all the proceedings carefully from my lap, his front feet wrapped around my thumb, like a baby.
Having said that, I’ve just watched an interesting case of physical transference as, after Albert had stalked through the house like The LionKing’s Mustafa, Roger, in a fit of teenage temper broke the cat flap window

I have nothing else planned today. 
Chic Eleanor messaged me about the tulips, 
I’m on night’s tonight doing the shift for a friend

  2. The cat flap ? You can see where his rage is directed. I presume teeth were involved.

    1. And a scrabble of paws, like a boxer

    Somehow I missed last night's drama so had to go back and read about what happened. Dearie me! No more food (Albert's or other) left on the table in future!
    Hope the contenders are no worse for the wear today and that the peaceable kingdom returns.
    Once again you're kind to take a night shift for someone. Hope it's quiet.

    Hugs!

    Never a dull moment in your house. Had a good laugh, the joys of animal parenthood.

  5. Roger looks so cute John - Thank goodness he is well behaved in public - My lookalikie starts as soon as we are outside on our walk - Dogs home said it's because he is overwhelmed and had lived outside with lots of dogs and fed scraps - and they shaved his hair - I hope you can meet Chic Eleanor in the not too distant future x 💐🌷 🍾

  6. And he looks like butter wouldn't melt! I hope a truce has been reached and peace reigns - until next time. I hope Eleanor's Mum is doing OK. xx

    Well he is only a baby still - learning valuable lessons all the time.

  8. Will they get to a truce or will the standoff continue?

  9. Oh dear, such household drama, lol! I should let you know that Albert will be moonlighting over at my blog next week. Starting on Monday, I'm posting a frivolous short story serialized over the subsequent 6 days, and Albert makes a guest appearance in a crucial role!

  10. I wish we had a video of the Albert/Roger confrontation! Glad everyone is learning to coexist once again, more or less.

    I am on Albert's side. I think it's awful that a stroppy, well fed teenager should steal the food of an old age pensioner cat with a poorly leg. Then when Albert tries to reprimand him in the only way he can, you all say poor Roger. Poor Albert is only a fraction of Roger's size. I say naughy Roger. Now he has broken the catflap!
    Go team Albert !
    I Love them both really.

  13. This garden view is so charming. Do you ever sit out and have a coffee at that lovely table? [when it's warmer, of course!]

  14. I do like that garden view. The new building next to blue bells parking spot doesn't look as bad from your kitchen door and across the garden.At least no picture windows looming large onto your piece of heaven.

  15. Definitely transference! Not much else for Roger to do until the balance changes, if it ever does. Roger is so lovable and gorgeous and Albert - well is simply Albert. And you so love them both.

  16. Mess with Albert at your peril. He's THE boss - and he jolly well knows it.

  18. Cats are as bad as humans slamming a door when they take their rage and frustration out on a cat flap aren't they. Toby once destroyed the cat flap we had on the farm. Luckily it led into the utility room and not the main kitchen, so the draft whistling through the entirely broken door was tolerable until we could get a new one!

      It was Roger the dog who broke the cat flap. Albert is the innocent party !
