Your cat's favourite baked potato filling - testers here

[LanaorAna2]

Come one, come all to the Olli et al. appreciation thread.

Mr C has started wheezing again. Give me strength.

On the upside, might see Nurse Lee tomorrow. Not in my skimpy lace nightie, Spart (good plan tho ).

At least you're allowed to use a brush, and do it in bed! For both of mine all grooming must be done by my hand only 'cause brushes are scary torture implements, even grooming mitts. Boycat will happily lie on the bed next to me, or beside me on the sofa, but Girlcat insists on being either on the back of the sofa so I have to stand up to stroke the fur out, or be on the floor so I have to bend over & knacker my poor back even more.

The are used to me working again now, but insisting on having my undivided attention when I'm home unless they are sleeping.

Talking of work, I forgot the joys of working in a blue collar environment. Down to earth people with no airs & graces, no snobbery about looks, weight or clothing, and comparatively little office politics & back biting.

The new scratcher has arrived. You can judge his thoughts on it

Money well spent then. Pretend it’s going in the bin, I said I was binn8ng asbos dog bed, cannot get him out of it now.

Company last night, asbo jumps up on the table. Walks around the table greeting everyone and head bumping.

“Hello, DN1 partner”
“Hello Mommy”
“Hello DN2”
“Hello DN1”

Totally swerved poor dh. It was harsh. “Your cat doesn’t like me” he opined while asbo jumped off the table to rub around dn2 ankles, possibly to make sure he triggered his cat allergy.

Mr C has a bed cat scratcher too. I'm shameless

He won't touch it.

Ollie has been helpful tonight and thrown up 5 times. Was it on the hard kitchen floor? Or outside?
No. Helpfully - living room carpet, spare bedroom carpet, hallway, my duvet and a merino wool blanket

Ollie, naughty boy.
Matt has been a handful too. He didn’t come in last night till 11.45pm and was off gallivanting round the corner when I, wearing a nightie and towelling robe, spotted him. He made his way to two doors away from our house then rolled in some dirt on a garden before I could grab him and bring him in.
Then at 3.30am he bounced all over my bed on his way to the windowsill.
Then at about 11am I was stroking him and singing to him when he bit me!
But when it started raining and thundering tonight all was forgiven and I was anxiously stood at the door until he galloped in.
Cats!

Paper was he biting you 'out of sheer love'? That happens in our house. Singing to him so do I. Do you make up songs? I do.

Four M&S chicken thighs have entered an elderly tabby, when I fell asleep after work. Pet is snoring in front of fan.

Oh God Yes there's nothing like sick to welcome you home after a hard day.

I like to think it was out of love, Lana, but maybe he just hated my singing.
Yes indeed I make up songs. There’s Mattie Boo boo boo boo boo to the tune of Baby Shark. And I made up a couple of bedtime lullabies for him.
He has had a shock at the weather this morning. He ran out of the front door when dd left for school - again sheer naughtiness as he knows he’s only allowed out of the back door - abruptly changed direction when he realised it was raining, and has retired back to bed in disgust.
Did you consent to these chicken thighs being consumed? Or were they stolen?

I reckon Matt was overcome with musical ecstasy.

Thigh 1 was a gift, Thighs 2-4 robbed.

Thigh 5 went AWOL in the night.

Mr C is mithering me to turn the weather off. I've set him up a chrome fan. And a dehumifidier for his asthma.

Obviously he just left the room.

Five thighs - goodness!
Matt has also been feasting on chicken. They’re spoil rotten, these cats!

Is that roast chicken mama? He battered me with his paw

Woke up cackling about asbo practising The Rules on DH Fluffy. Waitrose has an offer on salmon, but asbo knows that already.

Is Cozie still here?

I prefer the term “looked after properly” to spoilt rotten 😉

I never get love bites though, dh gets mouthed but probably to get salmon....

I'm slapping on the fake tan to to hide Mr C's worst scratchy excesses. DH should try it.

Nurse Lee is back from hol and is coming for Mr C tomorrow. We decided he needed a checkup.

I feel awful as I managed to both fall over and tread on Matt earlier. He cried out and fled upstairs.
I have checked him all over and he seems ok. Poor boy 😿

I’ve been wondering about Cozie too.

Matt will be fine, honestly. You'd know if he wasn't. I have fallen flat on Mr C several times.

Dh slapped asbo in the face. He was fine.

Cozie Will be watching.

Jacket potato face for cozie

Hopefully cozietoesie is flat out watching a film with PB and checking in on MN to see how we are managing without her.

(Answer = badly )

Fluffy I just had to read that twice - assumed it was asbo smacking DH, natch.

I have to say, Lara, that I did wonder who the 'He' was.

Hope you and PB not too hot. I'm loving the warmth on my bones I must say. London is humid - inch of water appeared in Mr C's dehumidifier overnight, but it's lovely and breezy in the evenings, everyone in swishy dresses going for drinks outside the bars.
