Nice moments with your cats

[chockbic]

So Jack decided to be an affectionate boy today.

He's snuggled into my neck, twice, with his paws either side.

There was some claw action. Mild. Well, you can't have everything.

I'd be terrified if killercat went under the duvet.

Is it wrong to laugh about that?

Bad puss.

Thing is Butterfly, i knew it was a mistake. Yet I actually lifted the duvet up so he could get in and cuddle up. But I find it hard to resist his purry advances. Even though they always end in fear and pain and bleeding.

And Chock, I'm glad some amusement could be gleaned from my misfortune.

Oh sorry, think it's the wanker description that's funny

Jack was in the bath last night. He'd unscrewed the plug fitting again. DH ran the water to see if he'd fixed it. Out came the claws and a strop from Clarkson.

Actually that made me laugh too

Oh, I forgot both my cats are actual wankers.

When I was in the bath the other night, Little Monsieur kept drinking out the toilet. Worried he had no water in his bowl, I went downstairs to check. Guess what? He'd 'thrown a Clarkson'. Biscuits and water, strewn around the kitchen.

Lately, MCat's taken to stomping over me in the early hours, in an attempt to wake me up. He's no sylph either.

And you know that now Basement Jack knows how to unscrew the bath fitting, it will never stop.

Wankers.

BJ throws his water dish around. Quite often the kitchen floor is soaking wet.

Not only the bath fitting, he's attacked my pumice stone on a rope. It now has a gert big crack running along it. So I've to be careful planing my feet with it, in case any flesh gets caught.

Wankers.

Pumice stone on a rope! That's so retro! Like soap on a rope.

Probably wasn't cool enough for teenage hipster kitten. Or perhaps he thought it was 'ironic' and was attempting to steal it?

Well I just went to buy a common or garden stone. As you do. They only had the 'on rope' variety. So there we are.

You're probably right, he was embarrassed that it's not cool. Had a laugh about it, with May and Hammond.

We have a visitor cat, I shall call him hairybum for the sake of his anonymity.

He lives a few streets away and regularly turns up here shouting his mouth off and waving his bollocks in front of kilkercat (who is most put out as his bollocks were removed years ago). He eats everything in sight and then lies on the bed and has a snooze. He stayed for four days once despite me repeatedly putting him out, he'd wait til the lights went off then just squeeze back through the cat flap.

His last visit I noticed he had a tick so we drove him home. He likes going in the car, he sits on my shoulder and looks out the window. Handed him back to his owner (with another gentle suggestion she get his bits chopped and get him fucking microchipped!) As well as getting the tick sorted.

So, not seen hairybum for a while so presumed he was getting sorted and would stop wandering. My mate who lives in another direction posted his photo on fb tonight to say he's visiting them, spraying their garden and waving his bollocks in their cats face.

We do love him visiting but why doesn't the silly cow get him sorted so he doesn't keep buggering off?? My friend said her husband put him out their garden and pointed him in the direction of our house.

Perhaps you should steal Monsieur Hairybum? He sounds adorable. Especially the bollock waving. And the shoulder sitting on car journeys! His owners don't deserve him, if they won't give him the most basic of care?

Just had a lovely (yet scary) moment with MCat, Sat on my bare legs, nursing on his tail, like a child sucking their thumb. Prickly joyful claws though.

BJ might be planning on getting you a PedEgg for your birfday.

It's very satisfying to see the grated feet in the compartment. It looks like finely grated Parmesan cheese.

Why do they show love by inflicting pain? Killercat tried to bite me this morning after following me into the bathroom and headbutting me until I stroked him...then lunged at me.

I am horribly tempted to keep hairybum, he's only a year old, extremely fluffy, an absolute pig with food but so sweet natured and affectionate. He has a sister from the same litter (if she's not been done either it's a bit worrying) and they have two dogs and live in a flat on a main road with no cat flap. The time he was here for four days was because his owner went away leaving a friend looking after the animals who let him out but never bothered letting him back in.

My youngest dd adores him. But I couldn't keep someone else's cat. It's not fair. Although if they don't get him sorted he will keep wandering, waving his bollocks at all and sundry.

Ah, Hairy sounds lovely. What a quandary for you. I think I'd be tempted to steal him.

It's crap when people get animals and don't care for them properly. The bastards.

I do like image of him shimmying his bollocks, male stripper like, at all the neutered toms though. I've got something you had chopped off.

Could you gently mention to hairybum's owner that he needs more care? I don't know how amenable/scary they are.

Thanks for the ped egg suggestion. I've already told him he owes me. Although I may have gone off grated cheese for life.

She said to me, I don't know why he keeps coming to your house? I replied he's liable to wander as he's still got his bollocks and suggested (several times now) that getting them removed would curb that tendency a bit as well as making killercat feel marginally happier I even sent her a link to the local rspca who were doing a "chip n snip" for £10. But he's still intact.

My friends dd was raving about him this morning and said she wants to keep him. My dd also wants to keep him. I've suggested shared residency.

Rescue steal him! If they won't even fork out a tenner for his welfare after you went to the trouble of finding out the info for them...

I used to know somebody like that. They'd get kitten after kitten, let them breed, then call the RSPCA to take them away because they 'couldn't cope'. Then get another shiny new kitten. Cycle would start all over again.

You'll be rescuing him. They're not being proper guardians to that cat.

Lordy, a tenner is nothing to keep him safe and healthy. Its a really good offer they have going.

Does he look well fed or are you feeding him?

I doubt very much they've had his sister done.

What to do though? Hopefully TheCatNeuterer will come along to advise.

He is well fed but he really is a gannet with food, will eat everything in my cats bowls. I do wonder how many houses he's being fed at. I try to remove the bowls as I don't want to encourage him as I don't think it's fair to knowingly tempt someone else's pet to come over. He's extremely fluffy and could do with a brush which I've done once.

Sadly I have known similar people who get a pet, can't cope so give it away, get another pet and it goes on, with no thought about the animals.

Well, Fred moved in with us on Monday. He is a rescue, with a poorly back leg, an accident at some point.

After months of nagging - I have finally relented.
And - I AM TOTALLY MADLY AND UTTERLY in love with him.
He is currently in his basket, as he is still quite nervous of our house - having lived in a cage in the vets for the last 8 weeks and having fended for himself for goodness knows how long before that!

Currently he can do no wrong - even peeing in the dirty laundry basket on Monday was put down to stress, (and he has used the litter tray everytime since).

I am a very happy cat owner today.

BafanasThesober - Fred has just won the kitty version of the lottery. I hope both you and he have many happy years together.

I see Fred has some books to read in case he gets bored

Good on you for giving him a loving, learned home

Fred is adorable. I hope he's very happy with you all.

Marking place. Nothing to add as I don't have a cat. Hope you don't mind me on here being vicarious.

Life with The Lamb is a succession of nice moments, from the little spoon action at night to the series of lap naps, accompanied by wild purring, throughout the day, but she's really outdone herself this time. We have a new routine. It's called 'your hand is my kitten'. It's taken me a few days to be taught the full process but I think I've got a handle on it now.

First, she will flop herself down on her side or upside down on my lap.
At this point I am required to gently stroke her belly and make vague nudging motions, while she purrs madly and waves her arms around in the air in slow motion, gazing with an expression of absolute adoration into the middle distance (the cat, not me).
Then she will mouthhandle the handkitten into an appropriate position and give it a full wash.
After this some more belly stroking and arm waving, followed by a gradual curling up, trapping the handkitten against her belly for a nice nap.
I am permitted to remove my hand once she's asleep, but attempts to do so before the proper time result in a vigorous 'do as you're told and go to sleep' wash.

I would make a video, because it's adorable, but I fear my distraction as I fiddled with the camera would be noted and there'd be some sort of washing type punishment.
