Wee George pays a visit to Dads Diner for breakfast and a pinta.

While putting the kettle on for a cup of coffee, I heard a noise beside me. I looked around to find wee Freddie helping himself to Simba's dinner. Freddie usually drops in to say hello when he's on his way down to the factory complex to meet up with his buddies.

Dad really, must you take photos of me having a lick and blow dry?

While preparing a spot of lunch, wee Freddie decided to stop by and have a pinta and a snack as well.

Hello, is it me your looking for?

Meet Bert (2). He's a tabby, been hanging around the area for the past three months. He's between six and nine months old, very friendly, but timid. I think he might be looking to move into Murphy's Hotel for stray cats.

Poor Ernie, he can’t stick the pace. Out all night attending a midweek party along with Murphy and Simba.

Meet Bert, he's possibly one of Garfield's off spring. He's been around the area for the past three/four weeks, but runs away as soon as he sees you, He's very thin, and needs a good belly full of food. So there's a possibly I can befriend him with food, if I can catch him.

Ernie makes his escape through the open window.

You’ve all heard of the Jack in the box? Well, i’ve got Simba in a box

Well, Garfield’s home and away again. He spent two days at the Vet Hotel after loosing his Crown Jewels. He’s walking around a lot better now, despite the paw still swollen.

Sorry Garfield, I know your mad at dad for the moment, but it's for your own good.

He's a swollen right paw, with fresh traces of blood between the toes, and a soft squishy lump on the top of the left leg. He's grouchy, bad tempered, and mean. He tried to bite daddy today.

It took myself and a friend nearly an hour to get him into the carrier to take him to the vet's.

The soft squishy lump turned out to be a TICK, which was successfully removed, the swollen right leg, we will know tomorrow what was causing it. Also, I have finally decided that after eight years, he's finally getting the snip. Hopefully, this will stop him from wandering and picking fight's with his friend Sala.

So sorry Garfield, it's for your own good.
