Cats still catting away part 5

I think our kittens are all around the same age?

Only 7 months ? She’s destined to be a big girl, I think.

My Biscuit is 6 months and already bigger than Cookie! And far heavier because he’s a muscular kitty.

Ducky is about a tenth of their size!

Yeah Maisie will be 9 months at the end of the month. She's already as long as Freya but has a lot of filling out to do. Haven't managed to get her on the scales in ages- so wriggly!

Destined to be like The Lodger. ( A ‘ lift with two hands and feet firmly braced’ sort of cat. )

I find scooping her up under one arm most effective

She's also VERY chatty and more so in recent months- lots of funny chirping burbling noises. Freya mainly looks askance at her and occasionally bops her on the nose when she's being too noisy

In my brain Freya is Maggie Smith playing the Dowager Countess of Grantham, in cat form. Maisie is Robert Carlyle playing Begbie out of Trainspotting

We have a new word at home - befelinated. It means “occupied by cats”.

Example: Will you make me tea? I am befelinated.

My Dolly talks like mad I’ve never had cats before and Daphne is mute it’s very strange to me

There's a lot to be said for mute cats. It's better than the "I'm home, you've shut the kitchen door & I'm trapped forever...I've done it, I'm out the kitchen, where are yooooou, I'll sit on the landing & miaow mournfully until you come to me" routine.

Interspersed with twanging door handles & thundering up the stairs like a herd of elephants.

@BulletFox they’re not obstructing - just reminding you of the important things in life.

That cat just knows its picture is being taken but is allowing a statement to be made. (Look at the tail.)

Small cat, big chair

Ha that's like the princess and the pea of cats Ollie

Freya this morning - regally monitoring the house from position of authority.

Spoke to vet, poor Biscuit is all anxious! Zylkene for the poor jittery little adorable fecker!

Rant: Mr C has broken EIGHT laptops since Xmas by jumping on them to get attention. Screens split, keyboards fly apart and keys ping off crazily. Even tho he is most spoilt cat in England served by the Little Woman What Does 24:7.

Now he's learnt to flick off the qwerty keys with his claw.

I might have some electronic goods left If he wasn't so fat.

Woe

Just found the neighbours ancient, mostly blind and incredibly tolerant cat repeatedly whacking Ollie over the head with his paw. I figure he probably deserved it

How was Ollie reacting?

Shouting loudly and indignantly

I kind of love that Ollie was shouting rather than doing the more sensible thing of running away

Lana you are very tolerant! After Maisie dropped a large and only recently deceased spider on my keyboard, followed by some sick, she is banned from computer access!

He could have easily come inside or run off but no, just sat there going "no no no no" at top volume while other cat is whacking his head like a whack a mole game. It seemed more friendly than actual fighting

Then he was guilty. Of something.

Ahh yes cat whack-a-mole
Freya did that to maisie in the car en route home. While Freya, not maisie, yowled. Maisie just looked at me with ever-widening eyes.
