Desperate times

[Rob Noxious]

... call for desperate measures.

I'm going to see if Shooey The Wonder Cat can evoke the spirit of A Cat Called Chicken (RIP) for the last 11 games in a hopeful effort to keep us up, just like Chick helped with in 2018-19.

It may be a forlorn hope but you never know.

I'll be giving plentiful thought to his matchday preparation and also encouraging Shooe throughout the game to find his inner Chick and guide us out of this mess. In my role as 'The Cat Whisperer', I'll be exhorting Shoee to conjure up "goals for the Blues". You heard it here first.

Looks mean and raring to go.

 

[RHB]

Risky move Rob. If we fall off the cliff there will be some on here that will give you a good shooeying.

Is the cat named after the chef on Crossroads?

Nothing to lose now, RHB - except potentially the next 11 games and our League status.

Ah - I've not kept up with any of the soaps, Cyril, since 'El Dorado' left our screens on that dark day in 1993.

Many thanks, Stan. I hope that he is blessed and I know he'll do his best - and that's all we can ask for.

The pre-match prep. started tonight in the Fort Nox shebeen where I hang out the back with my drinking buddy Rob Toffee (an Everton fan). Rob Toffee's second team is us now, even above Tranmere, near where he's from in Bebington, Birkenhead. Anyway, Shooe came out to join us and I cosseted him and treated him highly kindly, with great respect for his potentially taliscatic powers. He's been well-fed too and I've allowed him to stay on Rob Toffee's chair overnight. The chiminea's still going, so he should be nice and warm for a bit more too. The serious pre-match begins in earnest in the morning though. I've a feeling that Shooe knows the importance of this one. Anyway, here's a pic of the shebeen (and Shooe lounging around there) in the daytime.

I've just been whispering the requirements for today in his ear. I think that he gets it.

He had a very early breakfast of his favourite courses, i.e. a Whiskas poultry sachet for the mature cat (11+), topped off with some dry bikkies from the Purina 11+ range along with a bowl of semi-skimmed milk and his Greek yoghurt chaser, but just a sparing portion.

He's now on his second Whiskas poultry sachet and is asking for more. And today, I'm answering his every need. However, this appears to have been a reflexive response. He doesn't actually want anymore as he didn't follow me into the utility room (where he dines).

So far, so good. Just hoping that all the prep. turns out ok and that Shooey will deliver on that whispered request: - "Goals for the Blues."

I am a Vet and will put him down for you if we loose!??UTB COYB

Ah - that's most kind, yugmot. I'd best not tell him that the stakes are so high.

Give cats milk ? Please check

Can we not joke please about our beloved cat .????

Thanks, Stan - I have noted the dangers of this and will revert to water for the old boy instead.

Thank u !????

He's just emerged from the sofa and I've fed him again. I've requested a goal for the Blues in doing so. Here's hoping!

 

[Rob Noxious]

Aha - Shooey The Wonder Cat!

 

[Rob Noxious]

He's just finished his afternoon snack and I've congratulated him on his great work.

 

[Rob Noxious]

He's just requested some more so I've obliged with the request "keep it 1-0 for the Blues."
