Nemo was out chasing snowballs this morning.

Sybil's been making a spectacle of herself today rolling around while playing with a catnip mouse.

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 13/02/2021 15:44

I'm in love with the MN kitties!

Ollie should post in AIBU and everyone will agree he isn't.
Nemo looks fabulous against the white snow and Sybil looks fabulous against the red carpet.

I adopted the baby in October and the middle child is finally deigning to go into the same room as him. She still hisses and growls, but he doesn't seem bothered. I hope this is the start of her accepting him, although I am remembering the struggles of trying to find a comfortable sleeping position when I have one cat snuggled against my back, one on my feet, and one behind my knees.

Pro tip: Give up. Your comfort is of no relevance whatsoever 😁

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 13/02/2021 19:07

So true. As long as I function well enough to open a pouch, that's all that's needed.

Supersimkin2 · 13/02/2021 19:41

Capn’s robbed both duvets.

Nemo, King Kitten! He’s showing that snow who’s boss.

Fluffycloudland77 · 13/02/2021 19:57

Have you got a duvet or are you now shivering?.

QueenPaw · 13/02/2021 20:15

Ollie is looking doubtfully at the ££££ post op high calorie recovery food. He's licked it, so I'll take that as a win. Otherwise paws is going to be like a barrel on legs...

TheLongRider · 13/02/2021 20:16

Here he is on DD's bed watching her play games on the tablet.

He's got quite big, 3.8kg of skinny muscle and his favourite thing is being carried around in your arms.

Nemo is stunning! So glad you found him (or he found you Smile)

YesItsMeIDontCare · 13/02/2021 23:08

Nice to see not all cats are pathetic wimps when in comes to snow! 😂

Super, have you tried asking Cap'n very nicely if you could maybe share a corner of one of his duvets?

Supersimkin2 · 14/02/2021 07:43

Got a bit of duvet in the end. A bit.

As befits Valentine’s Day, Capn would like to say he and I have been together a year exactly today.

Longer than most of my relationships with human men last then! Grin

Boycat has finally realised that following me around the house all morning crying piteously isn't going to persuade me not to go to work.

TBH I was tempted not to go in yesterday; not to keep poor separation anxiety ridden Boycat company, but because I had my Covid jab Friday lunchtime and I felt like SHIT. Managed to stagger round the town centre asking people to keep their safe distance from each other and nagging queues to line up nicely down the side of buildings rather than block the pedestrianised street, then gave up about 3pm while I was still capable of driving myself home in one piece.

Ironically, I should persuade people who chat to me and are skeptical about the vaccination to go and get the jab as soon as they are eligible.

Back on the streets again today, though feeling a little better than yesterday & hopefully it should be warmer.

Fluffycloudland77 · 14/02/2021 08:30

Happy Anniversary to both of you Lana. Glad you got a handkerchief sized piece of duvet in the end.

@Allergictoironing Dh is CEV and had his Wednesday, I thought he’d be bed ridden for a week but he had one day in bed then cracked on with diy. Which means I also have to crack on with diy 😭. His glands are up but that’s it.

swampytiggaa · 14/02/2021 08:39

Happy Anniversary @Supersimkin2 💕

Allergictoironing · 14/02/2021 08:48

@Fluffycloudland77 I gather that under 60s are more likely to have a reaction to the jab. In general, for those who do have a reaction it only lasts a couple of days at most. I'm still tired, a bit shivery and feeling sort of not with it this morning, but not quite as bad as yesterday.

I think part of my problem is that we are out all day in this biting wind which drains you at the best of times, and having only been at this job properly just over a week I'm still getting acclimatised to being out & on my feet all day.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 14/02/2021 09:16

With love from me & Leroy 🥰

Another exhausting day for 16 year old Silkiecat She is trying to get as close to DH as possible as she realises he is ill. But that still does not let him off being her favourite cat servant.

Happy anniversary, Lana. Now that is true love ❤️😻

TheLongRider · 14/02/2021 12:04

Happy Valentine's Day to the Cap'n and Super!

QueenPaw · 14/02/2021 12:08

Happy anniversary!

Still working on the post op food here. Ollie is doubtful "you trying to make me FAT?"
Mixed it with some natures menu and he's eaten some and stropped off to bed

TheLongRider · 14/02/2021 12:16

Has Ollie's shouting calmed down?

QueenPaw · 14/02/2021 12:20

Um. Not really? But after speaking to the vet we are prioritising weight. They've suggested a few supplements but he's so fussy with food, we don't want him to stop eating
Hopefully the steroid jab at the end of the month will help and they will weigh and review him then Smile

YetAnotherSpartacus · 14/02/2021 12:24

Happy VD and Anniversary Lana and Cap'n V!

Supersimkin2 · 14/02/2021 20:54

Thank you all sooo much, hope your V Day was as mellow as ours.

Capn enjoyed his fave M&S meal 🥘- in an act of love that knows no bounds it was not reduced - and I’ve just vanished a family size bar of Extrafine Belgian Choc.

Armpits have been ceremonially tickled with a toothbrush, and we are currently resting so as not to overdo the excitement.

This morning he held my hand in both massive fluffy paws and just looked at me and purred and purred, wouldn’t let go.
