One large Lindt bear
Four bags of chocolate coins
Two marzipan logs
One tube of smarties
Box of heroes
Tube of chocolate buttons
Tray of Reece’s treats
The cotton bag the coins were in

Little shredded bits of foil, plastic and paper all over the cupboard. Cat gives me a nonchalant look and goes back to sleep.

AIBU to fire the cat, go through all our food cupboards to check for recon mice and engage in all-our war with the little buggers?

He's actually called Inigo Montoya

Did you kill his father?

Is anyone else looking at justcly's cat and hearing Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots...?

Yep.

That cat has the look of what would be known as a rum bugger around these parts.

My cat is excellent at catching mice... and bringing them in alive and releasing them to run around the house. Hmm We've stopped him by giving him a huge, loud bell and keeping him in at night. He's taken his displeasure out on the dog by nicking his bed.

I'm really a dog person, but all these pictures of your gorgeous cats is making me sway towards the dark side. My neighbour has the most gorgeous cat who is a fantastic mouser and ratter, and has so far kept the vermin problem at bay for both our houses. No pics unfortunately.

This is my leave mouse catching to the blood crazed chickens , freeloading cat.
She owns us all!

Has he got 6 fingers justcly?

One of ours had 6 fingers. But ours was a girl - I suppose we could have called her Anne Boleyn, but we didn't - she was Soozee.

@ItsNearlyMorning that cat has the same expression as teenage ds when I ask him to vacuum his room

She's lovely, Morning

Very, very pretty.

As indeed are they all.

I would end up with RSI if I gave them all the accolades they deserve,

ItsNearlyMorning · 15/12/2019 16:41

Madam as a kitten, totally feral and absolutely terrifying!
We call her madam resting bitch face.
She's an absolute diva !

I am feeling now that yesterday’s mousey fuckers discovery is having a silver lining as it’s resulted in a thread of kitty pictures. I love the beautiful ginger chez @flouncyfanny too.

She IS a breed!

I thought she looked like a pedigree but had no idea what she is - but her baby pics suggest that she is something exotic and oriental . . .

No the wonder she isn't prepared to work for a living!

What were you thinking Morning?

ItsNearlyMorning · 15/12/2019 17:30

@DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh she came from a Siamese / oriental cat rescue and was rescued from a crazy cat hoarder / breeder.
She is certainly half Siamese I'd say but half tabby.
I'm glad she grew into her ears 😂
She's the softest , most dependant cat now.
So needy but the early weeks were tough going because she was so wild.
We were all covered in wicked scratches and bites but it was all worth it in the end.
She's 3 now and still tiny because of the bad worm and mite filled start to life she had.
Ah bloody cats rule you !!

CorBlimeyGovenor · 15/12/2019 18:04

You need to borrow my cat! This morning she caught 2 squirrels, a rabbit, a mouse and an entire hedgehog family!! Albeit all Sylvanian families living in a doll's house! She did once catch me a five pound note and bring it up to me in bed one morning! She had extra cat food that day!

Ooh my heart sank a little then until I read on Xmas Grin

I'm loving all these cats, I've only ever had dogs 😍

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 15/12/2019 20:13

Shes a fluffy delight CorBlimeyGovenor plus she brings you cash and plays with the dolls house. What more do you want?!

Would totally have voted for QueenCranberry if she had put herself forward in the election. Total boss!

OneForMeToo · 15/12/2019 20:18

My cat likes to leave us dead mouse presents from outside. We found some living in the utility where the cat doesn’t go Shock got some traps and used ice cream sauce for those ones.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 15/12/2019 20:21

Thought that yestrday!Smile

And they stink Catherine - even neutered and frequently bathed, they absolutely STINK!

Thanks for the info @DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh.....Ugh!! Typical. I really am stuffed when it comes to furry friends. The only ones that are practical to keep seem to be the bloody mice!!Angry

I don't know, I am getting so fed up with the bastards I might resort to stinky living for a while (assuming I can breathe)

CorBlimeyGovenor · 15/12/2019 21:06

@Catherine

She is a delight! Slightly bonkers, but fab!

I’d be so pissed off about the marzipan !

CorBlimeyGovenor · 15/12/2019 21:11

An she's an excellent ratter!! We were filming for a BBC documentary at home, when she walked in and dropped a massive dead rat onto my kitchen floor mid interview....before promptly puking up a huge hairball (that looked like a Turd). Because nothing says, "welcome to my home British viewing public', like a fecking great big rat and a pile of sh*t.

You need my boy. He is a ruthless mouser. Although, as a vegetarian I'm hoping you catch and release.

CorBlimeyGovenor · 15/12/2019 21:19

We have her little brother too. They're both Siberians. Very fluffy, hypoallergenic. Very good ratters. Occasionally catch worms, snails and the occasional neighbours sock! They earn their keep when not lounging around spooning the dog!

The fluffy black tail is an exotic touch, CorBlimey. Xmas Grin
