Treacle is finding out that being the boss isn't quite as straightforward as he thought. He's gone escorting and Cillin was in with the hens as soon as he could hear Treacle was elsewhere.

That Cillin is no fool.

I have been trying that. So far no luck. I will persevere.

I'm concerned. I need that to work again this time.

I'm sorry @BY Bob ~ but I'm happy to virtual share.

You are very kind. Thank you.

Are there different styles of boxes? If so, I'd move the favorite box to your preferred location. I then show the cats the new location, tell them that's the box now and give a treat of two, especially if they use it right away, you know how cats are with a clean box.

It is all odd. They were settled with their other boxes for years. Then they started peeing on the mat just inside the front door. And in spite of removing the mat and cleaning with enzymes to remove the scent they keep going there. So I was forced to put a litter box there. I love them but they are maddening animals!

This is wrong. No teacher should ever make a child feel dumb. I wish I was smart enough to figure out a better way to teach math to people like you & me. I'm a non~sequential learner so you can imagine the trouble I have with even quite simple maths.

My fifth grade teacher hated my guts (the feeling was mutual). We had moved states when I was in Year 2 and so slipped through a few cracks maths-wise. She picked on me mercilessly for my maths and I didn’t feel I could approach her when I didn’t understand something. I got in trouble for not knowing my times tables (it took me a couple of decades to work out that wasn’t actually my fault!). I was experiencing some pretty major trauma that year so my behaviour was probably not as good as it could have been, I just remember it being a hateful year.

Hah my teacher last year made us sit in three collums. The smart row, the dumb row and the meh row which was in the middle. If someone had enough brains she would move them up a row. I was in the dumb row all year. I failed my exam but this year I actually did the best out of my class and I got better than the two higher classes (I’m in the bottom class) hopefully I move up. That teacher I had was awful she made you feel stupid and if you didn’t know how to work something out she would give you the answer without explaining it or anything

That’s terrible. Some people really shouldn’t be teachers.

The Littlies form the most adorable cuddle puddles while my big girls navigate around them.

So sweet...I'm so glad that the integration has gone so well!

We'll see. I have yet to move the Littlies into the Big Coop. So far they haven't shown the slightest interest in it. That's the Big Girls home & they haven't trespassed.

I should think it will go fairly well, with how well they are doing together during the day! Time will tell!

I never learnt most of my times tables. We used to joked I had 5 kids because it was 1 of 3 times tables I knew [the others were 10X & 11X ]. Rote learning. So not my thing. I had a lot of good teachers but they weren't able to break the math code for me. Most math is still a complete mystery to me.
