Yay! More turtle eggs. Hopefully that's it & she'll now stop with the PMTish irritability & banging about & being completely unco-operative

I'd wonder if she perhaps sensed my resentment & limited affection for her if she showed any indication of recognising me as a living being.
-
I was more fond of her brother who was an easy-going turtle who didn't get PMT (obviously) & didn't swear at me every time I picked him up.
-
Visitors to my house find it relaxing to see her swimming about her ludicrously expensive tank with its ludicrously expensive equipment.
-
I tell them it would be much easier & cheaper to just have a wide screen playing a video of turtles swimming about on a continuous loop.
-
So if anyone wants a middle-aged turtle with an obnoxious personality complete with tank, filters, lamps, heaters etc, just let me know.
-
I'm only half-serious here. I took her on due to love for her previous owner, my friend, who died nearly 20 years ago.
-
She's my responsibility. However, if anyone with knowledge about & experience of caring for turtles did want her, that would be lovely.

she's deaf & cant hear her own awful cry. She's wrecked the couch & melts like mad. No tail & huge lump on her side. Nightmare.
-
Oh dear.
-
she's 16 & knowing my luck she'll live forever! Our cats hate her too!
-
Oh dear. Poor old moggy.
-
very tempted to take her to the vet when the husband goes fishing! How long do turtles live for?
-
Ohhhh. :( Red-eared Terrapins live for up to 70 years. She's 44.
-
bloody hell, you're a good friend! Surely someone would like her? We literally couldn't give this cat away!!
-
Very difficult to rehome. It was a craze when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out. Then ppl realised the work & longevity!

we inherited my father-in-laws cat. Love cats but she needs a litter tray which always stinks, lifts her food out the bowl...
