Can you put a flap in the door paper? It would save you a bit in winter heating bills.

She’s so grown up now.

Papergirl1968 · 04/10/2020 22:03

It was very satisfying, Silvery!
I could get someone to put a catflap in the garage door, I suppose, Fluffy, but I’d rather she be in the house with the rest of us! She loves her garage though. She looks up at the door handle and cries to go in. Which was fine in summer but isn’t great now it’s dropping cooler. And most certainly won’t be fine in winter!
She is a grown up girl now. She’s getting bigger and heavier despite only nibbling at her food unlike Matt who is greedy as ever!

Sympathetic thoughts for you Papergirl1968. It's a shame that 'Father Christmas won't bring you a nice scratching deck unless you are very good' wouldn't work as a deterrent tactic Smile

YesItsMeIDontCare · 05/10/2020 10:20

Massive sympathies Papergirl. Leroy is exactly the same with the porch so I totally understand. Weirdo likes to look through the letterbox so we get a howling gale blowing through the house.

Cat flap for Christmas!

Papergirl1968 · 05/10/2020 11:17

I might try it anyway, Nettie!
That’s so sweet, Yes. I love nosey cats Smile

Ollie is "helping"
He's also had a nap on my brand new bedding and is now asleep in a box, head first with his bum sticking out Confused

Oh Queen that is so kind of him to check the bedding! I assume it passed?

QueenOllie · 05/10/2020 14:44

Apparently so. He was drooling on it Hmm

Allergictoironing · 05/10/2020 17:28

I got a couple of little Valerian filled "pillows" for the kitties with Zooplus points a little while ago, and broke one out today. Girlcat initially treated it like a catnip toy, then suddenly went serious zoomies mode - bouncing around the room on & off furniture, pouncing on her brother, attacking every scratching device in the room. And there was me thinking it's supposed to work like catnip, which usually gets her completely stoned & dribbling on the floor!

Ah well, exercise is good for her and as indoor cats they probably don't get enough. Her afternoon nap does seem to be even deeper than usual today, reckon she's worn herself out Grin

Supersimkin2 · 05/10/2020 22:31

That counts as a success Grin

He looks a bit grumpy!

Is he well?

QueenOllie · 06/10/2020 11:52

I was stopping him licking his belly Grin

Defiantly41 · 06/10/2020 16:06

@Papergirl1968 if your garage door is a fire door (most are) you may not be allowed/it's not advisable to put a cat flap in

Morticia didn’t want me to get ready for work 💕

She knows who's Boss. How is new job? Your flowers were lovely, they must have adored you at the shop.

Papergirl1968 · 06/10/2020 18:15

Oh yes, good point, Defiantly, I think it is.

swampytiggaa · 06/10/2020 18:54

New job is lovely 😊 pretty much stress free and I get paid for every minute of overtime I do.

Old job - they advertised and interviewed but can’t replace me. Obviously. Not been in since I left.

Manager was lovely as were most of the volunteers but as ever it’s the higher ups who don’t understand what it’s like to actually work in their retail arm.

Supersimkin2 · 06/10/2020 19:38

They make bloody sure they don't understand if you ask me. Nice to be irreplaceable, though Grin Fine news re new job.

Papergirl1968 · 06/10/2020 19:59

Loving the thread called A Strange Cat Has Just Climbed Into My Bedroom in chat. Lots of people having visits from Not My Cats including Queen’s Paws.

swampytiggaa · 06/10/2020 20:02

Morticia has taken to hiding under my bed late evening then snuggling up to me once I’m asleep.

She gives me a very indignant look when my alarm goes off at 4am 😂😂

swampytiggaa · 06/10/2020 20:26

Wednesday has just scratched Francesca. She isn’t looking guilty or sorry is she?

In other news my daughter doing animal care has been walking goats and making enrichment boxes for ferrets. What a time to be alive 😂😂

Scattered Barney's ashes earlier. He had a really good turn out - 4 out of "his" 5 houses and the other one watching from the window.

Don't know if he'll wait for anyone at Rainbow Bridge or if he'll March straight over with a flick of his ginger tail and an air of superiority 😁.

swampytiggaa · 07/10/2020 14:03

@YesItsMeIDontCare I expect he’ll find another few homes on the other side 💕

Papergirl1968 · 07/10/2020 19:22

Naughty Wednesday, Swampy. But how lovely walking goats!
Barney was clearly much loved by his various slaves, Yes. Sad
