Indeedy. But he combines that with being a 'total softie ' indoors ( i do see now my misapprehension ). And sleeps with me under the covers, paw of affection suitably extended.
He knows what side his biscuits are lick EE lixxed on, certainly.

We'll have to see on the food. He had some AGAIL for First Supper - I don"t know whether that's been eaten up.

Saw this picture today and it put me in mind of little Newboy, cozie.

You got me onto AGAIL, best ever advice. Sheba's on special offer at Tesco at the mo.

Well the AGAIL is all gone. Smile

cozietoesie · 20/09/2017 22:17

He looks very like that in his kitten picture, Mantra. Smile

Lanaorana2 · 20/09/2017 22:28

I'm loving that portrait too M.

I still think we should have a Litter Tray calendar. As long as it doesn't have Mr C on the front performing intimate grooming, it would be very popular.

"All you need is 13 photos"....

Ideal Xmas gift for your pet

I seem to recall that we already have most of the necessary photos? (From people's cats......displaying.)

cozietoesie · 20/09/2017 22:45

You should start a thread on the topic, Lana. (Any profits to go to charity, I think.)

RubbishMantra · 21/09/2017 00:06

Ooh, brilliant idea re. cat calender! My 2 would love to be in it!

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 00:12

Newboy shall not be in it. I've fallen out with him. Smile

Ollivander84 · 21/09/2017 00:48

Oops. More litter tray errors?

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 00:53

Indeedy. And he knows what his bad deed was. (Siamese have a good memory for sin. Wink)

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 00:54

He received Midnight Supper of course.

RubbishMantra · 21/09/2017 00:56

I know you've most likely thought of this - but might he dislike his litter?

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 01:01

I thought about that. It's pure petulance, though. (I guess he feels powerless and that's his only .....way of expressing himself. This is likely a power struggle.)

Ollivander84 · 21/09/2017 01:11

Patience is a virtue Wink

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 01:15

Oh I'll be fine tomorrow. I'm having a petulant outburst of my own. Grin

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 01:33

At the moment, he's brooding on his sin. (Although he's polished off his supper which was taken up to Club Tropicana.) I can't do (the BIG sanction) of Exclusion .From The Presence in the normal way so he'll remain in CT for tonight. No stairs.

Oh God, criminal peeing is exasperating. it should wear off though.

I can do a calendar to make money no problem, am a publisher, but If we use MN material eg your/my words and/or pictures or any of their email facilities it will be their intellectual property.

Whatever else MN founders are known for, philanthropy it ain't.
The money won't go to needy kitties. Well, unless Justine has a new kitten.

Let me have a little think - photobox would be simpler, that's for sure.

M Of course Mcat and Little M are in it. As it happens, LittleM is the cover star.

Well, I'm look askew at mine at the moment, too. Oh yes, the mouses might not come into the house. But cats playing in the garden brought the mouse into the house. Cue, me having to catch the half dead mouse in a receptacle and bringing it back out. The (now dead) poor mouse has been brought back in. So, I have to bring it back out and dispose of it.

My natural born killer kittens are now having a snooze after lunch.

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 13:47

Achhh. Cailleach. Mice come in to houses at this time of year regardless of the presence of cats. They may be entirely innocent. (Grin)

Allergictoironing · 21/09/2017 14:23

Yes, but they don't usually come into the house of their own volition in a somewhat chewed condition! Shock

cozietoesie · 21/09/2017 14:37

That's true! Smile
