Thanks Lizzie, but I think I'd need all of Piglet's donations plus a lot more before I'd have enough to get a reasonable foot soaking depth. However, I do have a foot spa which I love to paddle in - putting your feet in vibrating bubbly pee has got to be the way to go. It's strange because I can't even leave my feet in the bath for more than 10 minutes without them starting to itch. I bung them out beside the taps on the rare occasions I bathe rather than shower. Quite how I'd sit with my feet in a spa full of urine for an hour I day I don't know and Tim might just leave home!

On a slightly different tack, can my Rosie cat donate as well? She has a litter tray next to the loo and when I need a sample for the vet I just shove a plastic containter under her bum as she sits down. As she insists on yelling the place down until I go and hold her paw when she wants the loo getting a reasonable supply from her would be quite easy. But would it be safe to either bung on the compost or splash on my feet. I'm damn sure I wouldn't wash my face with it though.

Isn't your cat good. On our Sweeties vet details it advises the use of gauntlets. She's on medication now for hypertension (she's 13) and she gets right stroppy. Any samples have to be got via cathetar. As for holding her paw, you've got no chance.

The she comes and sits on your knee demanding a cuddle. She knocks her food dish around, demanding food and paws at you until you take notice. She wasn't like this before she started her medication.

It's always down to drugs, humans, cats, antisocial behaviour...

My Rosie is 17 this year and had a twin brother, Holly, up until a year ago, with four other basket mates (Chloe, Sasha, Jodie and Shadow) for the first 10-12 years of her life. She's now the only one left and has only used a litter tray for the past year so she's adapted really well. She just has this strange compulsion for company when she's using it, something I don't understand at all

Oh well, if it floats her boat why not. It makes one hell of an excuse for being late for work!!!!!!

She can pee enough to float anyone's boat, believe me which is why I'm asking if she can contribute to the general liquid gold concept. Does anyone know?

Can anyone tell me if my (female) cat can contribute to the liquid gold bucket for allotment use? I don't want to wash in it, just add to it my compost heap.

Idea 1.
Put the cat p!$$ on the heap and if, like us, you have foxes on site, they might try and mask the smell.

Idea 2.
Friday and Saturday night, open the site gate, put up a sign advertising french-style attended toilets, turn each bin into a urinal, put on your best frilly apron and charge the drunks 20p a p. You might need to hire Piglet as bouncer though.

Hi Chantal

All pee from either 2-legged or 4-legged animals will be high in nitrogen which is why it is such a good compost activator. To get technical for a mo - the nitrogen feeds the bacteria that break the raw waste down into compost, but it's the amonia in the wee the bacteria want and that will be same whatever the source.

The only downside I can see is that you may get other cats using your bin as a lav if they smell your cat and think she is trying to muscle in on their territory.

Peter:

Idea 1. Surely the foxes will keep clear if they smell human pee on the compost? Or would Rosie cat's donation mask mine?

Idea 2. I think you should seek therapy chuck. Unless of course we put Piglet in the French maid's outfit


Sue: Thanks for your thoughts about other cats joining it. There is a farm cat that sometimes hangs around and I really don't need a tom cat spraying over everything because he can smell Rosie. Perhaps I'll leave her to the litter tray.

Cheers both

Have I missed something?

When did Piglet get the French Maids outfit? Does he want to borrow my feather duster

Lizzie, go back up the page a bit to Peter's comments. He'd suggested me as a maid and Piglet as the bouncer, but I think it should be the other way around.

You can ask him yourself about the duster!

I would look georgeous as a French Maid, there are pictures of me dressed as a St Trinian complete with pony tails somewhere.

I might even make some money to buy a polytunnel cover with (private bookings via pm only please)

And no Peter, I am sooooo out of your price range

Chantal, I was taking the P, with both ideas. The only therapy I need is to improve my twisted sense of humour.

Piglet, I could trade you the picture of me dressed as a girl guide, brought the house down.

Perhaps you could both post the photos on the forum? Or would we get busted by the vice squad?

Oh please, post the photos. I could do with a good laugh cos i'm feeling poorly.

Grocks back soon and....... No, that's probably a bad idea. We don't want an over-excited Grock. It could turn ugly!!!

I like the idea of the alternative names on a badge. It would get people talking/staring and having you taken away
