I don't think anyone's begun a new thread yet?

Hope you don't mind Cozie. Smile Newboy's Fairy God(cat)mothers love hearing about his progress.

Ollie seems to like rolling around with abandon on it Grin
I am home. The boss is pleased yet shouting angrily at me for daring to be out so long and not providing a human to cuddle. I'm in for a lot of face licking and head butting I think

cozietoesie · 10/12/2017 22:10

They like luxury - and the kitchen, while not being a frozen and blighted waste, simply isn't as cozy as Club Tropicana. I think that he'll only eat food down there that is very delicious to him. (ie DD or Sheba.)

I think I may have been played on this one. Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 10/12/2017 22:21

Mr C is doing a proper I'm not talking to you pose. One of dhs colleagues cat would do the same.

Our heatings on full blast in the day, cat no longer needs me Angry

Lanaorana2 · 10/12/2017 22:22

Like a good'un :)

Darling Olli with his furry face rubs, is he trying to get you under the throw yet...

Ollivander84 · 10/12/2017 22:59

He's retreated to his igloo with his chin carefully balanced on the edge

And yes cozie, I think you have GrinGrin he's so bright (too bright?!)

cozietoesie · 10/12/2017 23:30

He's preternaturally bright, I fear. (Sitting on the bed at the moment, though, so forgiven much. Grin)

cozietoesie · 10/12/2017 23:39

Sorry it's such a dark picture.

Ollivander84 · 10/12/2017 23:39

He actually looks more relaxed now, although obviously still "on watch"

cozietoesie · 10/12/2017 23:42

He's been off the Zylkene for some days now as well.

(Probably just sooking up to me for his LW Midnight Supper. Wink)

Ollivander84 · 10/12/2017 23:58

I would show you Ollie but it's more "spot the cat"
Just noticed a bald patch on the back of his neck, about the size of a pound coin. God knows how he's done that Hmm probably a bloody pressure sore from lounging in this bed

Flipping heck Christmas came early this morning L Shock

I love it, Dh is going to ask our cat is in print Grin I haven't told him about the calendar. Thank you for everything!!!

I love the little notes you put on it.

Lanaorana2 · 11/12/2017 10:57

So glad you like it. Asbo's really is one of the all-time best photographs of all time.

Newboy looks like he is in monitoring mode, v good news. It's a bit early in his settling-in to have a pic of him splayed upside down snoring with a leg up your nose. I think he is too elegant for that sort of uncouth behaviour as well.

Unlike my own little friend, who pinched all the bed last night, woke up, slapped me for no apparent reason and passed out again. Naughty. It didn't hurt, just a fat paw across the face.

Ollivander84 · 11/12/2017 11:18

Mine has arrived! I tried to take a photo of Ollie with his card but he's refusing to get out his igloo. I love it Grin

Ollivander84 · 11/12/2017 11:26

One very confused cat GrinGrin

Ollivander That's a classic face! "Why is that cat doing ribbon face hooman?"

Lanaorana2 · 11/12/2017 13:06

Metamog :)

Superb.

I am trying to go Xmas shopping but no fear, still blizzarding. Had a friend round for coffee and had to get Mr C up, grumbling and yowling, as he was still in bed at 11:30.

cozietoesie · 11/12/2017 13:57

You got him out of bed?? Oh Cruel One! Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 11/12/2017 14:03

Our snows stopped but thanks to kids sledging the roads worse than usual & the bit by my front door is impossible. Everybody's getting stuck by us. Two cars towed, neighbours given up completely and taken his dog out (without booties so I'm judging that & the massive Pom Pom situation). If I had a dog I'd buy it a little Barbour coat for winter.

cozietoesie · 11/12/2017 14:06

We used to give our dog booties but then most of the roads and pavements by us had rock salt scattered on them. That's the very devil on paw pads.

cozietoesie · 11/12/2017 17:04

The Lodger seemed to use just the gardens but then he's a C.A.T.

(Newboy, of course, doesn't know what snow is. Grin)

Lanaorana2 · 11/12/2017 17:37

He said the same as you Cozie, believe me. But I did want to pass a bit of daylight under his whiskers before he dropped off again.

Lanaorana2 · 11/12/2017 17:56

The massive pom pom situation Xmas Grin

In Clapham Waitrose you can't tell what's pom pom and what's human head, both huge, pink and quivering madly over the Heston mince pies.

cozietoesie · 12/12/2017 19:20

I've been played on the matter of Country Hunter - and I've lost, I fear. He'll eat it happily in his upstairs room but won't touch it in the kitchen. Grin

Lanaorana2 · 12/12/2017 19:53

Just a dumb animal, see Grin

cozietoesie · 12/12/2017 21:27

Huh! Grin
