Cat TV?!

I nearly had a heart attack earlier. Walked towards the kitchen and NMC was at the dining room patio doors. Haven't seen him for a few weeks. I could have sworn it was Bertie sat there.

Ndn tortie was on our door mat one day, I did a double take despite her being half his size.

Capn’s got a mood on cos I’m on the phone. He’s very strict about screen time.

A huge paw sends phone flying if he hasn’t had a snack or an ear rub after barely 3 minutes. Govt guidelines are a lot more generous.

Hello, new to the thread but needed to share that one of my cat's favourite places to hang out is in the shower tray. That's a bit strange right?

NutellaEllaElla · 18/02/2021 09:58

Or if the door is closed, he will sit and stare into the shower

Welcome @NutellaEllaElla!

Lovely looking chap you have there - what's his name? Nothing strange about hanging out in a shower tray. It's you who's the weird one for not doing it. 😁

(Says the woman whose cat hangs out in the porch watching the world go by through the letterbox. 🤦🏼‍♀️)

NutellaEllaElla · 18/02/2021 10:53

He is called Pepe, here he is with his brother Jimmy. They're not a year old yet but too big to both fit in the coveted basket at the top of the tree.

We were at the vets this morning (ear infection). I'm going to be murdered in my sleep, aren't I?

Not sure he's going to wait 'til you're asleep.

RIP Demon. 💐

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/02/2021 09:43

Crikey he looks murderous. Obviously you should just have let him suffer 🤨.

I used to get cross miaows all the way to the vet. Cold stony silence on the way back.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 19/02/2021 10:06

Waiting outside the vet as I type.
Lenny came in looking very bedraggled last night (looked as if he'd part slipped into the river). Now can't raise his tail. I assume he'd been fighting
Horrible feeling this will be a re-run of Poodley cat...

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/02/2021 10:19

Oh dear, is he going to the loo ok?. That would be my worry.

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 19/02/2021 10:33

Sending good vibes for Lenny. I hope it's something small.

I survived the night with Murderous Cat.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 19/02/2021 10:44

All the best Grumpy and Lenny. I also hope that Lenny can toilet himself and that he's walking OK.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 19/02/2021 11:55

Back from the vet (who seems to absolutely love Lenny Grin).
Lenny has a cat bite at the base of his tail (surprise surprise...). No visible infection yet so he's on antibiotics and anti-inflamatories for a week.
You (and our vet) will be pleased to hear he went for a pee as soon as we got back
And a bill of just under £100 - so far better than Karl's similar exploit Grin.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 19/02/2021 11:56

Demon - delighted you survived the night Grin.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 19/02/2021 12:12

Yay Lenny!

Get well soon!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 19/02/2021 12:13

Also - I hate to ask, but where was TC last night?

TheLongRider · 19/02/2021 12:16

Swift recovery to Lenny and Grumpy's bank balance. How poodley is his tail?

Supersimkin2 · 19/02/2021 12:37

Get Better soon dear Lenny!! Poor babe. Poor Grumpy.

Supersimkin2 · 19/02/2021 12:38

Welcome @NutellaEllaElla!

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/02/2021 12:41

Well I think it’s a bit soon to blame TC! 😮

YetAnotherSpartacus · 19/02/2021 12:46

Wasn't blaming :) I'm on team TC remember! I was just asking honest.

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/02/2021 12:49

TC is a good boy.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 19/02/2021 12:49

NDN confirmed that TC was in last night. (although I suppose he could have just been saying that Grin).
In terms of potential poodleyness, the vet didn't shave his tail at all, which might explain why she took so long looking for the wounds. She did comment about how fluffy he is - rather flattering for a cat who's supposed to he a DSH.
