Cat chat - 100 slave tips

New thread

Swampy Their beautiful girls. We had four cats when I was at home and it wasn’t that much work, they turned up at meal times and did their own thing in-between.

Coaster Boring is good. It’s better than walking around the block at 2am because the cat won’t come in.

I did indeed, Lana!
Socks has been crazy today, zooming around at 100mph. She jumped right over Matt’s head once. Poor boy just looked slightly bewildered. She’s asleep on two cushions now.

Socks is channelling asbo in her search for self-expression.

4 of mine are in disgrace (again). What sort of pheasant would be dumb enough to land in a garden with 11 cats?! Savannahs 1 - Pheasant 0

Pheasants do have a tendency to be a bit dim. Stable cat once came home dragging one looking very pleased with herself while we all did WTF faces

11 cats?!
All Savannahs?

4 Savannahs, 2 chocolate Suffolks, a Siamese and 4 moggies. And a partridge in a pear tree!

Cats are really thrilled when they bag a pheasant. I can't be a hypocrite, I love them too (roasted with a hot packet of crisps).

Pheasants are bred to be a bit on the slow side so city workers can pick them off with a shotgun and think themselves posh. Bankers can't shoot so these days you get a bird that's as spherical and landlocked as they are. Miles better to flap to heaven via the cat not slow death of a thousand pellets.

Oh Just how lovely.

Just How d'you get all 11 in the bed at night? Do you have to scuttle upstairs at 8pm to get first dibs on the pillow? and a tiny corner of mattress? Before the furry invasion at lights out...

Blimey. Two cats keep me busy - and eat me out of house and home!

@Fluffycloudland77 that's the thing they do do...refusing to come in. Much better when it's raining and they take refuge in the house.

I think I jinxed myself by calling them boring. We had brief 4am zoomies.

Ollie needed to stock up on love and hugs I think. Slept all night next to me on the pillow, purring away happily

Pfft, if I tried having all 11 in bed with me my poor DH would be dead. Wouldn't change them for the world but they are hard work! And that's before you add in the carnage of pheasants/pigeons/squirrels/mice

And a partridge in a pear tree

I thought it was a pheasant?

I don't know how you do it.

I love it! Although it's pretty demanding. They're all spoilt, have a big catproofed garden with lots of climbing places, both trees and some we've had made. Nothing makes me happier than sitting out in the summer with them all racing around like loons

Life of Furry Riley :)

They must love it to bits.

MrJustone probably opens the front door with trepidation every night wondering how many cats there will be now.

Is there a sign in the hallway with “x days since a new cat arrived”?

11 is an odd number, I would need an even number or my eye would be twitchy.

Fluffy you're not wrong. Poor bloke. But then I quite frequently find him wandering around carrying one like a baby and talking to her in a baby voice... he loves them really. There will be more (many more) next year as my Chocolate Suffolk's will have kittens

Someone we all know is coming round tonight. With a box.

A box containing a cat, Lana? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Ooh, what's Nurse Lee bringing you?!

Thanks to TCN, I am a kitten foster parent.

1.3kg of white fluff is now my raison d'etre.

Am trying to make a good impression on my tiny master so photos might to have to wait till morning. We are both currently getting over the excitement of the evening with an early night.

Ooh, I'm intrigued!
