If I was the Wombat I think I would be pretty chilled also.

Ah, the cone of shame… Watson’s wearing one as well at the moment - he will insist on licking a hotspot on his leg…

Chewing on their foot and licking is very problematic but there is a reason.
The most common is allergic dermatitis. The vet likely knows this.
Might be asking an obvious question here Carl, but have you approached your landlord directly about pet ownership?
I’ve found that, despite “no pet” clauses, some landlords are OK with responsible pet owners and will make exceptions.

Another day, another black cat shot.
The tailless monster, Sid, has pinched a prime sheepskin spot from our grey, old-man, special-needs Kev. This kind of eviction is a daily activity and as Kev weighs half what Sid weighs, the outcome is inevitable. Kev does put up the occasional, short-lived, perfunctory paw of defiance, but mostly respects that there is a natural order of things around here. Feline politics is always amusing.
Kev sauntered off to find a sunny window spot to slob in. He runs his own race, bless him.
So here we have a rare on-lap event from the tailed-one, Madge. She must be chilly. She’s normally a sit-by-your-side type of moggy.
I’ll take the wins where I can.

Figured this would give everyone here a good laugh.
So, I got a new bed for Boone and we were all excited that he seemed to like it and started sleeping in it right away.
A few weeks later, I was looking for my Groot around the house. I couldn’t find her in her normal spots and then I found this.
I guess she wanted to try the new bed out and was a little bit jealous all while giving me the what you looking at Willis look

Hi Graeme, sorry I forgot to answer. The short answer is no, I’ve been meaning to but had a tricky second half of last year with work and home. In a position to now but there’s every prospect of moving and buying soon so am holding off as I don’t want a cat that returns here. I think the landlord would be OK with it BTW, he’s easily the best landlord I’ve had, though he’s the first one for a lot of years.
Anyways, I’m hoping to be able to post pet piccies soon. Here’s a now very old cat who used to be mine who now lives with my sister:

…and I’m one of those landlords, it can be a risky business having pets in the property as tenants might not want to lose “deposits” or pay for damage caused by their pet, that said, I have recently taken that risk.

We had similar experiences with great dog beds, but cats sleeping in them and v.v. I think that scent and curiosity play roles in this.
Recently, one of our rescues who understandably has been a fearful little thing lets us, and now wants us, to cover her with a blanket to stay warm.

The whole tenant/landlord thing needs some mutual trust to work well. I suspect I’m one of his better tenants, he gave up inspections after the first one which was more than three years ago. I’m ready for out of rentals, my DIY ambitions have been on hold too long…
