I haven’t blogged for a while because things have been pretty hectic. A few days ago I saw one of the cats obsessively licking his paw, and I noticed that he had a massive gash down the side of his leg, his fur had been completely pulled of it and it was bleeding 
We took him to the vets’ and he had anaesthetic and his leg shaved and stitched. Poor kitty. Since my housemate had to leave for a few days me and Joe have been looking after Halo, and now he won’t leave my side, bless him. He’s doing fine but has painkillers and antibiotics (don’t know what they put in them but Halo bites my hand off to get at them, so they’re clearly some form of kitty crack). We’ve been keeping the cats in the house because Halo can’t go out, and so I’ve been getting no sleep with them crashing around everywhere!
Everyone’s very restless, and whereas before the cats were like this:
They’re now like this:
Tense! Halo’s collar is actually pretty useless and doesn’t stop him scratching the stitches on his leg, which are now looking considerably looser. I’ve bandaged him, Rich and Joe have bandaged him…nothing stays on. Hopefully it will be okay though as they look fairly secure still.
So, what else is new? I finished the 30 day challenge on EA Workout, so now I’m going to start the 60 day challenge on EA More Workouts. That one tracks weightloss as well which is good.
I added more photos to my but I’m feeling lonely, so if you have one feel free to add me 
The new style Photoshop tutorials are proving pretty popular. It took me forever, but they’ve been SEO’d and XHTML’d up to the eyeballs now. Just a couple left to rewrite, thank God.
Last night Rich came over and cooked dinner whilst I looked after Halo. Finally got a chance to chill out in front of the TV for a bit, and it was lovely being cooked for.
On Tuesday me and Joe had our Valentine’s Day, since unfortunately he’s at a funeral this weekend.
My other presents from him haven’t arrived yet, but I picked out some stuff from . I’ve been trying to find a paraben-free moisturiser for months and they sell them so that’s fab. I’m quite anti-Lush at the minute because they might be planet friendly and animal friendly but they aren’t people friendly with all the parabens, sodium laureth sulphate and other junk they put in their products and then claim they’re ‘natural’. Sigh.
This weekend I’m going home to visit my family. I’m so happy now that it’s beginning to get noticeably lighter in the evenings because this winter seems to have lasted forever and it’s been snowing a bit on and off. I’m also due some holiday at work so I’m thinking of having a bit of time off at the end of March, which will be a nice treat
*waves* Hi, I'm 
Oh man, I’m sorry to hear about the cat, but I’m glad that he’s fine now! =)
Hehe, nice Valentine gifts =) Have a great weekend with your family! =)
I’m sorry to hear about the cat. I’m glad you found out what was wrong and got it sorted out though.
That’s sweet you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day earlier – you don’t need to do it when everyone else is. That’s a pretty card!
I hope you have a good trip.

Awwww poor kitty kitty!!! Hope he gets all better soon!
I LOVE my Wii Active! I so badly want to get the new more workouts to go along with it :]
Glad you guys got to celebrate V-day early! Have a fun, safe trip and an excellent weekend, enjoy!
Aww poor kitty! It’s almost more precious when a pet is injured, since they need you more.
That’s sweet that you celebrated early, although not sweet that he has to go to a funeral!! Hope it wasn’t someone too dear to him.

I hope your cat will be fine, probably a scratch from a co-cats.. Celebrating vday very early that’s cool. I love the card, so cute bear. what do you call that bear?
I hope your kittys will be ok soon. Many people I know are celebrating Valentine’s day early due to Chinese new year.
I checked out the stuff from “Love The Planet”. I would imagine that they will be really expensive but it isn’t expensive at all. Might purchase a dew pieces to try it put. What stuff did you pick out?

LOL!!!! I couldn’t help but laugh at the photos. You’ve got some wild sleepers on your hands. Hehe. Hope your cats are OK though. I’m more of a dog person myself.
Oh no! Poor kitty! Sounds painful… I kept thinking that was going to happen to one of the ice skaters tonight on the Olympics. -slip- -slash- -screams- Luckily, nothing of the sort happened.
Anywho, keep up with the workouts! ^_^ I’m with ya!
The poor kitten!
I hope he’s doing better! I really like that Valentine’s day card. 
MEEEEEh nooo im not a lover of cats. I dont care about cats and sometimes I find myself hating them. =.=

Eeeek!
This entry made me cringe so much — ‘Specially the part about Halo scratching at his stitches. Yeouch! D’you have any clue how he got the massive gash down his leg in the first place …?
Of course, if he’s mostly an outdoor cat, ((Like all cats should be, in my opinion!)) He could’ve gotten it anywhere at all, so I suppose this is a bit of a silly question.
Hopefully he heals up nicely and you don’t have to bring him back to the vet!
And thanks for adding that little bit about Lush near the end — I never suspected that they weren’t anything but all natural! I always assumed, since they’re animal and eco friendly, that they simply must for people, too … But I guess you can’t take anything for granted when it comes to big corporations, can you? Can’t trust ‘em too much, either!
I feel better, now, though, because I’ve always loved their products … But I’ve never been able to afford them, LOL! Now I can forget all about them and save money at the same time, without feeling like I’m missing out!
PS: Is Dove’s soap just as bad as Lush’s products …? Probably, but I have no choice but to continue using it, as it’s the only thing that keeps my skin clear. Plus, it’s cheap, so it’s not too big a deal … But still, I hope it isn’t as bad!

Put a shirt on the cat and then bandage the cat’s leg then tuck the bandage in the sleeve of the shirt, that should help.
Very cool Photoshop tutorials. I can’t really do Photoshop that great, that’s why I stick to programming tutorials.

Awww
Most people like dogs am I the only cat person ?.?.
I hope your kitty gets better soon! Lol kitty crack. I had my Valentine’s Day a day late because of the Chinese New Year. And about the sodium laureth sulphates in Lush products – I KNOW! My friend keeps going on about how great Lush shampoos are, so I had a look on their website and they have Sodium AMMONIUM Sulphate in them! This is the one ingredient which caused my hair to fall out. Thankfully now I use this one by “Naked” from Boots which is totally free of any artificial ingredients and parabeds. As for moisturisers, I’ve only come across one that has none of the bad ingredients in it, and it’s by No7. However, they have decided to discontinue it… -.- Annoying!
