Welcome darling Nemo Grin

Papergirl1968 · 20/08/2020 21:10

Finding Nemo...I like!

They definitely still fit in here. Oh yes.

Someone paid for the front row of the stalls and was not pleased to be put in the mosh pit Grin

@Fluffycloudland77 I demand you come to London for a visit. Battersea is overrun by Bengals.

The website copywriters who do the cat ads have completely run out of euphemisms - eg'full of energy' 'playful' 'spirited' 'a real little character' - and are now just saying 'family will need to spend a lot of time with Tiny Tinkles' accompanied by pic of 9 kilos of stripes staring at the photographer with eyes narrowed to slits.

How about 'His previous family didn't understand him?' or 'she has been cruelly rejected by a loving family who put material needs before her happiness'?

How is Cap'n V and the litter tray issue?

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/08/2020 10:19

They just need to be honest. “Requires trustafarian with waterproof house & laissez faire attitude to soft furnishings, objet d’art & skin”.

I blame the breeders not making it 100% clear it’s a husky disguised as a cat who never shuts up if awake to prospective owners.

"Sadists requiring masochistic staff"?

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/08/2020 11:09

“Dom requires new sub”

coastergirl · 22/08/2020 11:40

Off to peruse the Battersea website!

Leroy's has the runs for 24hrs. It's gonna have to be dry food only for the next 24. Fuck.

Supersimkin2 · 22/08/2020 17:10

bad luck @YesItsMeIDontCare.

Capn has only shat on the floor once this week, and that was clearly a litter tray misfire so doesn't count. He gets a 9.

On me now, considering trying a crisp as the noises I'm making are so enthusiastic he doesn't want to be at risk of missing out.

Supersimkin2 · 22/08/2020 17:23

You're right @Fluffycloudland77, these sites should specify owner traits really.

Income requirement: min £250k pa
Accommodation on offer: spacious detached period family home in grounds. Fishing rights essential.
Age, disability, special requirements etc: no vegetarians.
Marital status: single and guaranteed to remain so (cat may offer assistance).
Employment status: none.

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/08/2020 18:07

Oh that’s such an improvement, it’s soul destroying to come home to such mess everyday. He’s clearly trying.

Papergirl1968 · 22/08/2020 19:42

Aww, well done, Capn! Smile

Allergictoironing · 22/08/2020 22:33

My dear, sweet, gentle little Girlcat found herself another mouse yesterday evening, possibly in the kitchen. Brought it into the living room to torture play with it, and promptly lost it under a rather low antique Chinese chest. She spent most of this afternoon half under the chest and eventually after about 4 hours of huffing & puffing caught it again. Only to let it escape into a mahoosive pile of crap assorted items piled up under the coffee table.

Boycat did try to go and help her at one stage, and she GROWLED at him!!! Shock

I suppose she'll get hold of the escapee at some stage tomorrow - assuming it doesn't die under there & start stinking the house out (sigh) Confused

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/08/2020 23:15

I suspect boycats “helping” is similar to Michael Caines Alfie “ I can help myself”.

Fluffycloudland77 · 23/08/2020 08:29

I’ve found a new favourite Bengal on insta, Barbebengal. Reminds me of Asbo (not as pretty as Asbo but energetic). He’s got a Louis Vuitton cat bed and goes on a speed boat.

Dh did not look surprised when I said “the rope for that ceiling toys not expensive you know” while eying the bedroom ceiling.

Supersimkin2 · 23/08/2020 08:37

How are Matt and Socks?

Well done Girlcat, proud warrior of Britannia Grin

I really want this cat toy.

Supersimkin2 · 23/08/2020 08:42

Ceilings can be a touch pricy @Fluffycloudland77, as that adorable kitten's wealthy owners are about to discover.

They'll have to flog the speedboat when the little lad brings it down.

Fluffycloudland77 · 23/08/2020 08:45

I have the optimism though. Also a 17ft run of wall in the spare room that’s just right for a slack line.

I’ve seen that fish toy on insta, it looks great and it’s a change from mice if nothing else.

Supersimkin2 · 23/08/2020 09:44

You'll be fine, it takes a lot to bring a ceiling down - I'm fat as a barrel and have hung off mine loads of times, not even a crack :)

Might do a sneaky amazon for the Captain. I reckon Ollie would lerve too.

Not so well done Lana - it was definitely still alive when it went to ground last night.

I may have to try that toy too, though you never know how my pair will react with things that move.

QueenCT · 23/08/2020 10:01

I think Ollie would actually be terrified of that toy Grin

Papergirl1968 · 23/08/2020 12:39

Ohh, that looks a fun toy.
Matt and Socks are good, thanks, Lana. Apart from having (whispers) fleas, along with the dog. The shame!
