Ooh my new chair is arriving on Saturday. What's the bets Ollie will steal it within 5 minutes? It's a spinning cuddle chair...

YesItsMeIDontCare · 02/09/2019 13:35

No fair! I want a spinning cuddle chair! (oohh - rhymes)

Ollie may be prepared to actually share that one with you. At least until he starts sharing it with Paws, then you're on the floor.

Lovely to see MrC looking perky. •

Supersimkin · 02/09/2019 17:54

The argos one is very tempting indeed.

|Mr C fell out his tray when I was out. I'll spare you the details, but he asked for wipes the moment I got in. Really.

YesQueen · 02/09/2019 18:05

Ollie helped pick. This one. In black of course, no pink here

Ohh, I like!
I had a message flash up saying three people are looking at this right now. I bet they’re all mumsnetters!

Supersimkin · 02/09/2019 19:16

I'm loving it. Especially the swivel.

Weezol · 02/09/2019 23:27

Just realised why I've had an ache all down one side today. Weezolcat has recently decided to sleep just by the pillow instead of at the foot of the bed. Which is very lovely, but it means it's quite difficult to get out of bed without disturbing her.

I have just recalled that in my fuddled state in the small hours of this morning I did an awkward one armed semi-vault so as not to disturb herself.

I think I've pulled a few muscles. Bloody ouch. On the opposite side to my duff leg, so it's all a bit...lurchy.

Supersimkin · 03/09/2019 08:43

Ow, Weezol you have succumbed to a Bed of Love injury. Be careful how you tell other people how it happened Grin

Sympathies, I bet it pangs a touch. Flowers Two co-codamol, a full fat coke and a coffee now. Proper sitdown after lunch if you make it that far. Extra pillow on the bed? Not for her, for you.

Weezolcat is getting very loving, isn't she. I bet she is fully refreshed.

Had a frightful snory night, ended only by Mr C sitting on my back & pressing my nose into the pillow with both paws to choke me awake. He ate catfood yesterday so I've let him off attempted murder.

YesQueen · 03/09/2019 08:59

Ollie sends best wishes to everyone. Or something like that

Good morning, Black Prince. And his Queen.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 03/09/2019 09:36

He looks like he's about to sneeze 😁.

Weezol · 03/09/2019 10:30

Oh I'm telling no one about my injury, except you lot. Weezolcat was chivvied out of the way this morning (from a safe distance with a gentle nudge of the big ikea shoe horn, I'm not totally stupid).

I think Ollie is shouting "Where's MA chair Mama?"

Weezol · 03/09/2019 10:31

He ate catfood yesterday Have you informed Nurse Lee?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 03/09/2019 13:56

What exactly is Ollie’s song of his people?

YesQueen · 03/09/2019 18:20

@YetAnotherSpartacus have you heard his miaow? It's ear splitting Grin

Weezol · 03/09/2019 18:29

I like to think that Ollie has a specific song for his person.

Weezolcat has a collection of vocal stylings reserved entirely for me. All the grumpy, shouty ones.

The general ones are trotted out for visitors who say things like 'Gosh, she's very talkative, she must be great company!'

They have not seen my recent delivery of a drum of 50 pairs of foam ear plugs.

YesQueen · 03/09/2019 18:35

He does only say ma-ma to me Grin

coastergirl · 04/09/2019 00:49

Can I join in please? I've previously only used the pregnancy areas of mumsnet. I absolutely adore my cats! I've had rabbits for years, my poor Harry had to be put to sleep a few weeks ago age 9. I have two black and white boys, Walter and Bertie. They are such sweet, shy boys. Both rescues but not together. Walter is friendly but Bertie is very shy and took forever to trust us at all.

Weezol · 04/09/2019 01:00

Welcome - the membership fee is photos of your lovely lads!

Allergictoironing · 04/09/2019 07:23

Managed to grab a snap of Boycat in his favorite sofa snuggles position.

Note that my arm needs to be between both front & back legs, otherwise he maneuvers it using the back legs. Tail needs to be gently draped away so my arm doesn't squash it.

Also a good pic to show he is smoke black, with the pale undercoat showing through Smile

Excuse the mess!

Boycat such a treat for the eye this morning! He is stunning, isn't he.

I too get the 'Get orf my tail' flick. Mr C is so old his tail bends double and I have to straighten it, brush it - gently - stroke it - vigorously - and lay it flat over my arm in the respectful manner of a butler carrying a lady's sable coat. Only then will the purr begin.

Welcome coaster! Walter and Bertie - lovely names. Sadly, we need visual proof of their existence Grin

coastergirl · 04/09/2019 09:43

@Weezol here they are. First Walter. Not very bright, very affectionate and demanding of attention. Then Bertie. Missing half an ear from before he was rescued. Very wary but hits you really hard with his nose to demand strokes. Both adorable.

Please excuse the mess. I have a four year old and a ten week old baby. Hard work!

Papergirl1968 · 04/09/2019 10:03

Displayed to perfection there, Allergic, and if your arm goes numb, it’s a small price to pay for supporting your furry overlord while he sleeps.
Welcome, Coaster, they are gorgeous. Bertie reminds me of our little Socks.
Speaking of the devil, here she is, napping with Matt. Although I’m another one saying excuse the mess!
