What's your DCat up to today? (Thread 8)

[TheLongRider]

Fighting my socks!

I didn't manage to photograph it, but caught Colin walking down a 10ft ladder today

Normally, I'd say 'picture or it didn't happen' ... but in the case of young Col I well believe it.

Yea there seems to be a lot of.... "WTF is he doing now, quick get the camera" moments.

I've currently got what sounds like two marauding elephants upstairs but know it's Col and Dexy

Caught them asleep yesterday, Col on the bed Dex underneath

Friends for the moment. Two seconds later they were play fighting

Anyone else got a shoulder cat?

I'm typing this standing at my kitchen worktop with Tabitha draped around the back of my neck.

And yes! She's biting her nails. Spitting out the old claw covers all around me.

I must admit, I do like having her on my shoulder! She stays on there for ages while I'm pottering around the kitchen.

She's learned how to balance when I'm walking around. And it's amazing hearing her purr when her body is pressed right up against my ear. It resonates so deeply, and just makes me feel so joyful.

Am I daft? 😻

Dolly has become clingy at bedtime since her big brother was, sadly, PTS this week. They weren't close, but he was the only one of my cats who treated her kindly.

@Want2beme I'm so sorry your big boy had to be PTS. I know he had a great last few years with you.

You definitely can't see me...

TheLongRider no, no, definitely can't see you

Thank you. He was a lovely old fella and I'm so glad his last few years were good & comfortable. RIP Bertie Boy

Neighbourhood watch. The black girl cat is ours, the grey tabby the neighbour's cat.

Relaxing in the daffodils

On my lap this morning. She's a real fidget!

Is she enjoying being an only cat? I can only imagine the amount of white hair she's shedding on you!

I think she is, TheLongRider I had to shake myself outside when she decided to jump off. She then went out onto the low roof to sun herself

I caughr Karl sticking his tongue out at Lenny earlier. Think he may have objected to Lenny joining him on his chair.

My breeder sent me this picture.

Mouse isn't ready to come home just yet but he says his bags are packed and he's waiting for me by the window...🥰

TinySongstress, Mouse is so adorable😻

Well a few days ago when it was sunny Col came to us with a very swollen paw/ leg. Got him into the vets first thing but in the morning it had gone down. Vet reckons allergic reaction maybe a sting. And no it didn't stop him test arsing a round

We've now removed most of the trellis from the tree just left a small piece for him from the tree to the wall. He was climbing up it as IH was refixing

He was a bit naughty the other night and ran off and wouldn't come in till gone 11, so is now sort of grounded

He's taken to snoozing on the bed in the afternoon with Dexter sleeping under the bed

Dexter came for Dreamies and Col licked him

Nemo had a swollen paw for 24hours last week too! He's absolutely fine since then. @Oldraver

Nemo is grounded once night falls much to his displeasure. He seems to think he's big enough now to go out with the older cats.

Oh poor Nemo, we have loads of red ants in the grass so dont know if it was that of a bee/wasp as he is obsessed with them

Will certainly do a wait and see next time to save me £43 friggin quid

Col is generally grounded from just before dark, but with the lighter evenings I have waited till his Dad is home but he then gets devilment in him. Dexter is a bad influence as well and disappears back off over the back.

We'll see where we go with bringing him in as I dont want him out all night and 50% of the time OH goes to sleep at 8.30 in a downstairs bedroom and I dont wat to be hollering for him all night want to go to bed myself

We have a swollen paw a couple of weeks ago too. Vet reckoned bee or wasp. Must be the season for it.

Sybil joins us for breakfast on the kitchen table every morning, and particularly enjoys finishing the porridge.
Took this photo while she was politely waiting for us to finish so she could dive in.

Col used to finish my porridge when he was younger and want my plate when I had crumpets. Of course I used to leave a knob of butter to melt under the crumpet for him

He's a stroppy teen at the moment who doesn't give his Mama the time of day...much

Finish your porridge NOW measly humans!

I bet you make extra just for her.
