Poor Matt, he worked hard for that mouse.

Papergirl1968 · 25/08/2019 21:48

I just knew he was up to something when I spotted him standing on his back legs looking very interested in the bushes!

I’m getting a vision of Sylvester with Tweetie-Pie in his mouth and Granny turning him upside down and spanking him saying “drop it, drop it, drop it”! It does sound very cartoonish :).

Fluffycloudland77 · 25/08/2019 22:33

Maybe he was bringing it home for socks?.

Papergirl1968 · 25/08/2019 23:04

That’s pretty much what it was like, Spartacus. Smile
Probably, Fluffy, he seems to be relishing the role of big brother. And I thought he liked being an Only Cat!

Fluffycloudland77 · 26/08/2019 06:37

Maybe mine would like a kitten, if only till it went floppy.....

Supersimkin · 26/08/2019 10:43

Cat bed a triumph.

You seem surprised ...

Fluffycloudland77 · 26/08/2019 10:53

Technically he is using a new bed.

Supersimkin · 26/08/2019 11:01

Yes, my little prince has never made a mistake.

YesQueen · 26/08/2019 13:08

Ollie agrees best to try the box first as stupid humans often throw them out

YesQueen · 27/08/2019 19:22

Henry says hello. He likes to stay in his crate for sleeps and then have a little wander and then go back in

He is transformed!! So very beautiful, sniff.

You must be so proud of yourself - heroine.

Heatwave tip from Mr C: frozen Bounty bars are worthy of the side-eye while watching telly with the old girl.

Back from holiday and the cat is very pleased to see us but she has a torn ear 😥.
It must be 2 days old at least, as it's scabbed over a bit, about 1/2 cm long. Is it worth seeing the vet now do you think?
My money is on one of the ginger toms in the back alley 😥

Papergirl1968 · 28/08/2019 15:05

4am and I was in my nightie standing on the street corner trying to get Matt in. Little sod was with another cat and hissed and went to bite me when I tried to pick him up.
His mate fled and by the time I got to the front door Matt was trailing behind me like a sulky child whose play date has been cut short.
Socks the kitten is gradually coming out of her shell. She is still very wary but comes and peeps at me when I’m sitting quietly and last night entertained herself by bombing up and down the stairs at 100mph.

Weezol · 28/08/2019 18:36

Oh Henry - on that ermine style throw he looks positively regal.

Supersimkin · 28/08/2019 18:47

Paper just like collecting a grumpy teen from a party. I expect he was double hungry all day as well :)

drspouse your poor kitty - in this weather i would def call the vet for that ear, it could infect quickly. Blimmin' gingers.

drspouse · 28/08/2019 19:12

It's cool and rainy here! But we may ring tomorrow.

YesQueen · 28/08/2019 20:00

Paws and Ollie just kissed GrinGrin

Supersimkin · 28/08/2019 20:26

Yayayay!! Eat your heart out, Bogart & Garbo!!!!

Mr C has vomited again. [brings tone down somewhat] He won't eat. He's playing me. He's also getting Nurse Lee tomorrow as my nerves are in shreds, I'm a feeder.

I never thought I would see Mr C thin, but he's elegant as anything.

YesQueen · 28/08/2019 20:52

They did that nose sniff/head tilt thing and sort of licked each other. Was very cute

Supersimkin · 28/08/2019 21:28

You know, they are both such sweethearts it might be a dream of a friendship.

They will shortly gang up on you.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 28/08/2019 23:35

How lovely to see Henry! Thank you for posting that picture Queen.

I'm away at the moment... Leroy thoroughly disgraced himself yesterday by being an absolute shit to his sitters 😠.

Guiltypleasures001 · 28/08/2019 23:57

Evening cohorts,

Apologies have just realised I had not updated

Betboo, is in the cattery for the next 4/5 weeks on cage rest, she's taking it really well
bless her. She has a small pelvis fracture that needs to heal itself, we visit at the weekend

She doesn't drop and roll, she leans against the side of the enclosure and gently slides down on to her side, then rolls over for tummy rubs Grin

Saw Henry's pic, he looks so much better, and has Ollie got a new permanent house guest now?
