Onwards and upwards for the denizens of the Litter Tray. Best of luck to all job-hunting, cat-mourning, Paws-swiping posters. I can't do a proper link to the old thread.

New boy cat arrives on Friday, a one-year old tabby boy currently under the moniker of "Bobby". I don't have a proper picture yet.

Paper you haven't failed!!! Get real! You've done them nowt but good!!!!!

Thanks so much, means a lot.

Well done Socks. Sleep well eh.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 17/01/2020 08:12

Hugs Lana. I'm sad for you and Mr K., but I think he will be happy on a farm as you say. Hopefully a kitten that is a better fit for both of you will come your way soon. All the best with the family mess too.

Allergictoironing · 17/01/2020 09:25

Hugs from me too Lana. You went over and above, and if anyone could have tamed him it would have been you. Farm cats can have a fantastic life, especially where they are cared for properly.

Supersimkin2 · 17/01/2020 09:30

Thanks Spart and Long.

He's so small and soft. Will get Nurse Lee to have a look and check he's ok before calling Batt. That may take some time as he is impossible to catch.

Too little to be Beast of Bodmin. Even tho he fancies himself Grin

Maybe we'll have a nice warm weekend of soups and dreamies and sleeping on his rug behind fridge.

coastergirl · 17/01/2020 17:36

Ah I'm sorry to read the update on Little K. You have given him the best possible chance and even now you are making sure he has a safe, happy future. Much love..

So glad Socks came back. Mine have both done that a few times. So scary.

Supersimkin2 · 18/01/2020 08:28

All is not lost. Talked to TCN at length; we're doing a taming bootcamp, starting Monday. Little K - now the size of a football - will be reinserted into the hospital basket for 3 weeks as a last ditch attempt to domesticate.

Ran out of dreamies yest am. Shit on centre of bed.
Ran out of dreamies yest lunch. Shit on my half of the sofa. Grin

Lana when I first got Snow she was as feral as they get. Not that the RSPCA had bothered to tell me that. 3 years later and she's the most affectionate loving little cat. There's hope for Mr K yet

YetAnotherSpartacus · 18/01/2020 10:01

Good luck Lana and Mr K ... but also remember that it's fine to say 'no' Lana and to look after yourself. Think of Fred and Ginge, happy kitties with a world free to roam in.

Supersimkin2 · 18/01/2020 13:25

Thanks so much both. Sofa to be replaced Grin let's hope not the kitten too.

Miniature Beast of Bodmin currently snoring behind fridge. Off to get Industrial Container of Dreamies for the catching on Mon.

@ClientListQueen - new arrival in the M&S deli aisle - pork crackling sticks. Inspired by Ollie, I thought I'd give them a whirl last night as missed supper.

This is what my feral cat thought:

  1. Having been too scared to come anywhere near me, shot out from behind the fridge and sat on the bed where I was crunching away with purry noises.
  2. Chased the empty packet all night loudly and pointedly.
  3. New packet purchased. We are now both eating our own stick for breakfast.

Ollie, pet rescuer and Influencer.

Grin kitten with taste Ollie says

Matt hugging Socks - or possibly holding her down to bite her Confused

So glad things are looking slightly more positive, Lana.

Supersimkin2 · 19/01/2020 16:58

Look at darling Matt with fat paw round Socks. They love each other. Sniff.

Just like Ollie and Paws. Sniff.

And Boycat and Girlcat. Sniff.

And Charlie and his 11 friends :)

Justonedayatatime11 · 19/01/2020 18:27

Charlie would quite like to eat his 11 friends at the moment Hmm not sure how much socialisation he's had

Two of mine trying to blend into the carpet so they could trip me up. Don’t know who would supply them with dreamies then 😱

Ffs just had to clean runny poo off Wednesday’s arse. She cried but let me get on with it. Never have a problem with the other 2!

Supersimkin2 · 19/01/2020 20:45

Charlie, he is magnificent. He should stop being a little bit nibbly soon?

Bad luck Swampy. These things are sent to try us.

ClientListQueen · 19/01/2020 21:49

Ollie is very tired. No idea why, and using his back leg as a pillow Hmm

and using his back leg as a pillow

Leroy does this! Why? Why? How?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and Little K, Lana.

Justonedayatatime11 · 19/01/2020 22:19

YesItsMeIDontCare did I spy Leroy on the Mynwood cat jackets gallery?!

BabyBunnyMama · 19/01/2020 23:08

Hi, I'm new here! Blush
Have 3 cats - that's my lazy lump Boo who has happily allowed herself to become DD's cat since she was born 😆

Ooh, what beauties to cheer up a Monday morning.

Boo is kitty Gwyneth Pawltrow of yoga.

Justonedayatatime11 · 20/01/2020 10:12

Someone like to give me the odds of me getting Charlie into said Mynwood jacket when it arrives? He's very gentle but if he accidentally bashes you with his giant paws you certainly know about it Shock
