Paws, Ollie, Captain V and all the rest

[Papergirl1968]

New thread!
I’ve found two so much more hard work (and expensive) than one, Queen

Watching now :)

Dyou want me to post you some Percy Pigs? Only women like them.

He is not helpful in me getting a photo but this is where it is

Ouch! Is that likely to need vee ee tee assistance or is it just a surface scrape?

Looks pretty superficial so I'll just keep an eye on it daft cat

Ow! Caught in a fence I reckon. Poor baby, mended soon.

Girlcat did something similar a few months back. She's not easy to handle at all but she let me clean her up. I kept an eye on it and she didn't overwash the wound. It healed fine but took over a month. She now has white hairs growing through her black fur where the wound was.

Ollie should be ok.

He's busy screaming at me as usual so seems fine

For those who liked the Christian kitty, you might like this

It’s not as good as one I found a while back where the cat alighted the minbar, but it’s pretty good.

I love that last video.

I'm grumpy. I'm doing my best in my ridiculous circumstances to find Bertie. The women from the rescue I got him from think I'm not doing enough.

You’ll never satisfy someone who works in cat rescue, they’ve got a higher bar than us.

You’ve done what you can in the circumstances. Lots of people move and have no intention of taking the cat with them.

@coastergirl some of these rescue types can be a bit fanatical.

Of course you are, and I bet she can't suggest anything else. You can't hide in the garden of a house you no longer occupy 24/7, the others would starve to death.

Loving cat of Islam. Bet the imam has to come in with pouches.

Doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, what you do... you always do "the tail thing" when you stroke a cat!

Anyone else’s cat got wanderlust? Matt has been out all day, missed his lunch which is unheard of, and no sign of him all afternoon despite repeated calls.
Then he strolled in for tea, guzzled it down, and demanded to be let out again.
Socks on the other hand barely eats anything and refuses to go further than the open door, peering nervously into the garden as if it’s full of growling dogs 🤷🏼‍♀️

Leroy's doing the opposite. Spent both his "walks" lounging around at the front of the house. Went across to the grass bank for a poo and came straight back again. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Matt in love?

Capn V is resting on the balcony. Gratifying, as I bust a gut earlier this week removing and replacing 200 kg of compost from all the pots, scrubbed the walls and floors and planted 150 bulbs.

It has met with approval. I am not allowed on it now.

Could be, Lana. I swear if he could take a picnic so he didn’t have to come home at all he would.
Your balcony will look lovely when those bulbs bloom! And the way things are looking, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy it!

Thanks for all the reassurance re the rescue people. So no sign of Bertie.

Taking a moment to envision Matt The Suitor in his handsome coat and glorious striped breeches strutting along a blossoming spring path, whistling and swinging a wicker basket, ready to meet his lady love.

No female could resist.

Try not to worry @coastergirl.

Oh that’s sad coastergoal. Will keep fingers crossed. Hope tomorrow is the day you find him.

Coaster, I’m sorry, every day I hope for good news.
I’ve been worried about Matt today as he’s rarely out for more than an hour or two, so can’t imagine how you feel.
Lana he is rather bald along one side at the moment which gives him a rather...hmm...distinctive appearance. I also fear he has fleas. But yes, he does have a certain manly swagger which some lady cats may like

Ladeez luv a bit of rough. And remember, fleas or no fleas, there's that beauteous belly...

Dbro, who offended me vilely the other day by referring to me as Sybil Fawlty while we were thrashing out some particularly horrible eldercare, texted me to say Capn was so gorgeous he 'should be a cat model'.

Little bastard knows how to get back on the Christmas card list

Ollie has wanderlust too. Or something. He is currently screaming at the window while I tell him black void cats do not play out at 1am
Here he is earlier when he was silent for fiver minutes

Oh Coaster, we are all hoping for good news for him. We all want you reunited with him.

Sybil Fawlty is an awesome comparison, Lana.
And Capn would make a terrific model. He is indeed a beautiful boy.
I’m getting shouted at a lot too, Queen.
Standing in the back garden wearing just a rather short nightie and shaking a bag of Dreamies is not my idea of a fun Saturday night!
