What is wonderful about your cat?

[TheCatOfAthenry]

Cookie is genuinely sweet and kind, so welcoming to Biscuit when he came to live with us and puts a paw on my face when I feel ill. She has a remarkable vocal range. Also, she has an amazing history involving likely escape from confinement, showing up at a women's shelter and being bullied at the animal rescue. She's overcome a lot.

Biscuit is just so kitteny and is fascinated by his tail. Super vocal and follows me everywhere. And he has a fat little kitten bottom.

He follows me to the toilet, curls up against my legs of an evening, has a feisty nature but is loving in his own way. I just love everything about him!

Sorry, I posted too soon - Cookie and Biscuit are gorgeous!

@PinkSparklyPussyCat I love your cat's nose!

Biscuit is growing so much!

Layla (pink collar) knows when something's wrong - whenever I'm sick, upset or worried, she runs over to me and rubs up on me, or if I'm sitting/lying down she jumps up and snuggles with me everytime :)

Purrlock (blue collar) isn't the friendliest cat in the world - he had a bit of a tough start in life, but when he had a scratch on his eye earlier this year, he went to the vet and he was scared when they gave him drops and poked around a bit. As soon as the vet let him go, he turned around to me and stuck his head in my stomach and wouldn't move from my side from the rest of the evening!

Cupcake, she's quite a nervous little ninny but loves a fuss and is very sweet natured. Love all your kitties!

Gorgeous pics!

I don't know where to start with what is wonderful about mine. She's a feisty, hates being brushed, non lap cat yet so affectionate and I just love being in her presence. She follows me from room to room & sleeps at the bottom of the bed. I love the fact she will eat treats from my hand now & she wouldn't do that when I first got her from the rescue centre. She's not a scaredy cat though seems self assured but needs love, like we all do really!

She is soothing, comforting and my best fluffy friend. I truly think she rescued me & not the other way round.

My daughter's cat is wonderful, very stressed when he came to live with her and urinary problems and permanently on meds because of this but he has accepted newly acquired lurcher pup with equanimity bless him.

He brings me inanimate objects as presents.

This year we have had

A girls sock
A flannel
A man's sock
A man's work sock
A womans sock
A chamois leather
A soggy piece of cardboard
The matching man's work sock
An earplug
A washing up sponge
A gardening glove - kids size
The frisbee in the picture
The matching girls sock
A hand towel
A cloth
The matching gardening glove
A balloon

These are all faithfully presented at feet or on face if asleep and he is so proud of himself.

I am aware that this makes him a bit of a got especially as I think he is stealing them from other houses, but it is wonderful that this year, we have not yet had any wildlife brought in

Bullies my sisters chiuahas and takes their toys. If we're gone from bedroom to long, were usually checking on lil man, she comes to check on us. Always enters a room or window with a miaow to announce that she's here and has to come find which room I'm in.

Both had a rough start in life as breeding queens. But are both very sweet and affectionate, if not the brightest, and rubbish at Catting.
Snorg has just found her voice and uses it to great effect. She loves to sit and watch me eat and squeaks to try food. Too cute.
Fatty is a bit more more dominant and likes to escort me from the bathroom back to my bed after a shower. It's so cute!

Loving the replies and pictures!

These cats are making my Sunday.

His eyes
Head bops, kisses and constant chatter

Leia is wonderful because she came to us after being rescued with her new born kittens from loving on the street. She is bomb proof and her reaction to whatever madness is happening in our house is 'thats fine I'll just sleep here until it's over'.

Boo is wonderful because she gives no fucks...ever!

Marshall (tabby pictured with b/w cat) is our oldest cat and the only male. Therefore he is the king of the house and knows it. He is not a lap cat but absolutely loves a head scratch. He likes to come and sit with me in the garden for a head rub and will happily curl up on the bench next to me.

Silver (tabby white) is the one who follows me to the toilet. She tries to sit on my lap which can be a bit awkward but settles for a head rub. She spends a lot of time sleeping these days, mostly in the conservatory which she has made hers.

Coco (upside down tabby) is bloody hilarious. She is called crazy cat in this house. She is just nuts. Falls off stuff, chases flies all over the house knocking things over. Will find a random thing on the floor and push it under the rug so she can spend the next four hours making chirruping noises and trying to get it back out.

Bella (b/w cat) is our newest girl. She was in rescue for months and overlooked because she was so timid. She is my shadow. She follows me to bed, gives me licks, lies on me, sleeps on me, follows me round the house and into the garden. She is just sooo affectionate.

I wouldn't be without any of our cats. They are all so different in temperament but all so bloody lovely.

ineed is Boo the one sat up, legs akimbo giving the camera the eye? It's like a modelling shoot!!! Brilliant!

Yes that's Boo

We think Snowflake was dumped as he appeared at our back door yelling for England about 9 months ago. So he's wonderful because he clearly has good taste in hoomans! He also puts up with quite a lot from my daughters. One is Aspie so is inclined to shriek when she sees him.

PuffinCat tries her damnedest to pretend she hates us but never quite manages it . She'll cozy up between us on the sofa, cuddle up to DH in bed (never to me) or lie above my head on the pillow (goodness knows why - unlike DH I do actually have hair to keep me warm).

How long have you got?

Leroy has just come back in the bedroom, mewing adorably. He'd got Mousie in his mouth and he's just dropped Mousie down next to the iPad so they can watch the birdie & squirrel program together.

Here's a pic of Leroy with Mousie. Yes they were in the bath .

Her incredible affection for and tolerance of our toddler.

Leroy's doppelganger, also in the bath! He's the most affectionate cat I have ever known and escorts me everywhere. He's even been on holiday with us.

My two boys are the most lovable, funny, gorgeous looking cats ever. Strangely they are also the most nervous cats I have ever had when it comes to anyone outside the family. It's such a shame as the amount of people who come hoping to meet my boys only to see the back of their fluffy bottoms

YES some of my favourite cats on this thread.

I love Kitten because he snuggles up to my neck and he's pleased to see me when I come home from work.

I'm off sick today and I'm being looked after by Dr Harry.

Toddler the pictures of Fatty and Snorg have cheered me up!

My boy Jasper is still a young thing (almost a year) but he's full of head bumps and kisses. Also tolerates being cradled like a baby by my DH.

He has a favourite blanket that he loves to knead. He goes into a trance and starts to drool. I've had him from 10 weeks old and he now very much rules our house!
