I seem to be picking Newboy up tonight......

[cozietoesie]

Currently in the middle of making arrangements to meet - he's a breed rescue - and yet to check over the house for 'breakability' issues etc. (He's only young - and it's a good few years since I had a cat that could potentially leap living with me.)

Yikes!!

'He's a REAL UNIT'.

I must confess that I hadn't heard this phrase before.

Might I assume that it's an expression of extreme approbation?

Urban Dictionary enlightens us:

unit
An absolute machine. Looks like they never leave the gym and usually out to cause trouble.

Terminator is considered a unit.

Ah.

Blinking cheek, eh. Poor timid little kitten, he could fit in a teacup, possibly.

A part of me feels obliged to point out that even the Urban Dictionary may struggle to accommodate Newboy in his prime.

....Poor timid little kitten.... Was that a direct vet quote?

Newboy is starting to put on muscle. All these stairs and the Country Hunter!

I'm renaming stable cat a unit
Groom was eating tuna, she tried to take some so got put on the floor but not before she smacked groom around the face

She must have been in a good mood for a Unit. It sounds as if he walked away.

She was in a strangely good mood. I suspect she had battered the dog. I even managed to remove about 70 burrs from her sides/tail/face without a single scratch

That groom's a bright lad. :)

Country Hunter is a cracker. Any more visuals?

I am trying to get a pic of Mr C and a teacup. If not in one, but strangely he's reluctant.

He clearly adores it.

I'll try to capture a picture come roast chicken time.

Change of plan. Taken at 'Slightly warmed soup time'.

Oh he's beautiful! That's a very inquisitive look. Or perhaps "hurry up slave creature"

He's a handsome lad. More young sealpoint colouring than chocolate - which makes sense given his parentage.

He is properly stunning. Love that head tilt of enquiry - he's not so scared these days, is he.

He's not quite as scared as he was - but that's not saying much. He has the sealpoint solemnity and pride. (The chocolate points that I've had have been more happy go lucky types.) Luckily, my very first cat was a sealpoint.

Ah, he is lovely. Alert, but not insecure. He does look quite fit too. Love the shading on his paws: a bit like having chaps on.

Girlfriend says hi

She is very impressed with his handsomeness

Isn't he a lovely boy, those big searching eyes! I bet it's hard not to just scoop him up for a big cuddle. Mine like their soup slightly warmed too.

A giant tea cup for Mr to have his Alice in Wonderland moment.

~Not just any Mr., Mr. C of course!

He ate his lunch while I was in the kitchen and then sat outside the door for a couple of minutes, just watching me. (Then he must have run out of courage because he dived back upstairs to Club Tropicana and had a pee.) Small steps but quite significant ones?

She's such a pretty one, Kibo.

Definitely significant steps there
