Pepper is splendid. I get that look too, usually for turning a page too LOUDLY.

Supersimpkin Did you hand feed Nurse Lee the ham or put it in a sandwich for him?

Leroy's a FIV+ boy too!

The Kitty Cafe has 29 resident cats, most of which seem to be kittens (6 months and up at a rough guess). They're all rescues and they have a re-homing programme.

This is Harry. The cats are not allowed on the tables, but food is served under canopies as they pay no attention to the rulez.

Rulez are for hoomans.

Aww, Ollie luffs his mama. Look at that adoring gaze!

Supersimpkin · 18/08/2019 08:44

That's a cracking pic. As for FIV, Mr C is about 600 in cat years, so take heart, it's not anything like as bad as people tell you it is.

A broken night. 2am:

Mr C: Wah! Wahh! Wahhhh!!
Me: Mummy sleeping. Not snacky time now my precious kitten
Mr C: Waaaaah! Are you deaf?! Come on, out of that bed
Me: Snacky presently, darling
Mr C: Wah!! Rise and shine!!
Me: I am asleep.
Mr C: Christ on a Bike! Get up damn you
Me: Mummy coming, sweetness.
Mr C: Finally. Right, follow me. Don't dawdle.

Turns out he had excess of meatballs and a towel had fallen over the front of the tray, impeding entry.

Mr C: Prrrtt!! Fanks mate

Of course I'm not overgrooming...

Well Pepper is currently chowing on pieces of meat that I salvaged from Brewers Fayre. She certainly benefited from my birthday!

Fluffycloudland77 · 18/08/2019 20:52

Happy birthday!

Dh took haddock home to our cat once, he flicked it around the kitchen but didn’t eat it.

Weezol · 18/08/2019 20:57

Happy Birthday!

It's all very quiet here. I'm slightly on edge.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 18/08/2019 22:55

Happy Birthday darkriver19886 🥳

All quiet here too. Worryingly 🤔.

Supersimpkin · 19/08/2019 09:29

Happy Birthday to you!!

Mr C's just walked in, yowled, thrown up on a present for someone, and walked out. Rather wish it was quiet.

No silence here. Had Ollie yowling, paws knocking things over with his giant paws and Ollie then whining that Paws was making a mess
He ate two bowls of dry, a bowl of wet and tried to eat a teabag Sad

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/08/2019 09:49

Can you paper collar him yet?.

YesQueen · 19/08/2019 09:54

I'm so close! I can stroke him and I've been working on ruffling his neck/fur

YesQueen · 19/08/2019 16:03

Ok so this is confusing
This is the cat that's been about for years in the first pic, and this is also limpy cat and startled cat
The second photo is Paws

Spot the difference... they are not one and the same!

Still on holiday and today we took a walk around the market which is the highlight of the week here. There were a few people with dogs and a couple with a cat on a harness!

YesQueen · 19/08/2019 21:17

🙄🙄🙄🙄 apparently it's food time

Supersimpkin · 19/08/2019 21:21

Yes it's all in the length of the white socks.

Paws = Just William, one up, one down
Limpy = Scholarship kid, both knee length

I tried Mr C on a harness once.

Do tell.

Papergirl1968 · 19/08/2019 22:02

Did it not end well, Lana?
We tried it with Matt. Just the once...Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/08/2019 22:13

I saw a dog in a doggy pushchair in B&Q. Looked comfy.

Supersimpkin · 19/08/2019 22:33

I've still got the scar, funnily enough. I also forked out for one of those cat slings from New York but that never even made it round his substantial tummy, let alone mine.

He's always been full of beans.

Leroy gets two walks a day on his harness... I don't know what the problem is 😁.

Leroy must be a very well behaved cat!
Everyone thinks we’re mad to take Matt on holiday but it works for us and he’s happy.
Dd1 and Socks the kitten have departed for home this morning. Matt is no doubt thinking he’s rid of the feisty little rat-like thing that keeps hissing at him. Can’t wait to see his face when we get home on Saturday and he finds out she’s taken up residence there! Grin
