But The Telegraph said it's other things and not to over-dramatise.

I don't know what's more annoying, Brexit or 'Sandwich Artist'

Probably suffering from the same cat meat problems as me.

Is it a specific brand? A bunch of UK cat foods from one supplier are linked to a serious cat disease at the moment.

Is it OK to use if you've got a comical cat?

I might be misremembering entirely, but I seem to remember the possibility of food shortages being ridiculed...

Which makes me wonder, are food or bog roll shortages more critical? On the Brexit Bonus side, I suppose if you don't eat, there won't be so much shît.

Sandwich Artist.

I am talking about Whiskas and Felix and whilst I can’t be bothered to do a diary and my cats aren’t starving Pets at Home limit you to two boxes and other retailers have no or limited stock.

They can eat mice and birds let tough British cats did before we joined the EU and they were forced to eat food from tins at the same time we were being forced to eat straight bananas.

Tins? They must have pouches, and it must be in jelly (not gravy) and no fish

I told my cats that, if they don’t like it…

That they should let you know and you'll get whatever they want instead? Typical cats

My mum used to finish that with “there are thousands starving in Africa” then would out wait the cat.

Unfortunately my missus panders to their every whim, even opening the bifold door to save them the walk to the side door. A side door that is only there to put the cat flap in it.

Sorry, is this the same person posting about people having too much regard for animals? 🤔

You would love the story about the quote for a £4.5k bill for an operation. Turns out me and the missus have a different idea on the price of life for a cat

I think people should think about the cost of animals before they take them on.

I think it is immoral to spend that much (as a starter) on trying to fix a cat but I suspect we will never agree on that.

Anyway when I refused (and so did the vet when I offered them the chance to chip in) they came up with plan B that only cost £60.

Ten years later he is still with us with liver and thyroid problems and the misssus does not tell me what it is costing.

The only time I saw five minutes of that dire vet programme with, gulp, Rolf Harris, it featured a kitten that had been born inside out (fur on the inside, organs on the outside - can't remember the medical term), and they tried to do an operation to save the thing (of course, it didn't survive). At the time, I thought the much better option would have been to use the opportunity for the vet to explain why the operation would be the unethical (and ridiculous) thing to attempt, rather than "Aw, it's a fluffy kitten, aw, can we save it?" It's not as if the world is short of cats.

I have a similar difficulty with the RSPCA putting down thousands of healthy animals and yet nursing severely abused animals back to health.
Personally, I have an issue with their death camp attitude but, regardless of my opinion…

On any objective level, the two processes are totally at odds with each other.

I am glad people care about animals as I really don’t like them. Would be pretty bad if everyone was like me.

I do think this Afghanistan escape with animals seems to be a waste of very precious time and resources when there are hundreds if not thousands of people who need help escaping and aren’t getting it.

Another thing to add to the list.

It’s a very long list. Are you sure you’re not an octagenarian with intolerance for everything outside your own interests.

Got it. It’s like Stevo bingo.

Blame Barnier? Check
Blame EU? Check
Thinking there is a technological solution to a political problem? Check
Ignoring British intransigence? Check

One day Brexiters will realise the political calculation has been made that making Brexit and its legacy costly is worth the cost to keep remaining EU 27 unity.

I suspect we are not there yet,

Until the EU is feeling more confident it won’t make the British situation improve. After all, if leaving the club is so great, the union will cease. That’s the political reality. The political incentives are not aligned.

It might be easier to list what Rick can tolerate.
