I was sorting out my old photos and found this one of Fatcat, sadly no longer with us but those eyes, so adorable.

He knows it!

Elite non-working cats awaiting news about the expected increase in Dreamies' tax.

I'm sitting on my hands. I was about to respond to the latest garbled post in politics but it's not worth it, is it?

HHHHmmm. Let me guess. New poster/recent name changer - half dozen posts on innocuous topics and then something highly goady and contentious.

Will follow the same path as every other one of those threads - sets it up for particular posters, walks away. Changes name. And on.

Pretty much @Notonthestairs they did start another anti labour ramble recently which got one response. They do have a few other generic posts on general threads but all recent.

Keith can't bear to look, the budget, the budget, we're all doomed!

I just like it that you have a dog called Keith

My Dad's called Keith. He does look a bit like that.

Thanks for the new thread Duncin. No cat tax from me as I no longer have one 😪, pts four weeks ago this weekend. I keep looking at rescues, but it is too soon.

Oh @PandoraSox 😥

A benefit bashing thread has appeared in politics. Must. Not. Respond.Further.

Thank you for the new thread Duncin & all contributors so sorry about your cat Pandora 💐
im still half in half out of the sick bay, this bout of flu has lingered
as ever from me some flowers.

They leave such a big hole when they go.

That's the one I posted about here this morning - I was sitting on my hands. No need to worry, every single response to the OP has been brilliant!

For sure.

My dads called Keith too!

Oh

An average of 80 private schools have closed every year on average in the last decade, with no sign of an upsurge in 2024, official data shows - putting the claims that VAT on fees is already decimating the sector into some context

Sorry to hear that Pandora, don't make yourself feel worse by reading or responding to the right wing promos. Bottle of Lucozade to dontcallme, hope you feel better soon.

Thx for new thread Duncin

There's some fab pics on here with some very cheeky cats!

No cat I'm afraid, but hope this will do from recent walk, it was eerily quiet and just lovely.

Funny nobody has started a tax on private schools thread with this link!

I think Tennyson is lovely.

Paying cat tax

Next door neighbour came round to collect a parcel. She's found Tennyson in her house this morning. I felt like a bad cat parent but she was fine about it. She thinks he climbed up and followed Barry, her cat, through the window.

I’m visiting my sister. Her cat is unusual!

Was it about Labour taking away WFA?
