@TheLongRider that's SO adorable how they have their paws around each other 💜

Well now, Nemo sat on top of Hobbes. Hobbes grabbed and washed Nemo. Nemo is now nearly 4kg of kitten. Nemo put up with the washing until Hobbes got fed up of having a heavy kitten sitting on him and wriggled out if the basket. Nemo did a happy sigh and curled up in the basket for the next few hours.

Moral of the story, Nemo is craftier than he looks.

@TheLongRider
Absolutely love that photo of Nemo and Hobbes. Reminds me of two of my previous two cats, Monty and his brother, who were completely bonded, always together and always grooming each other. None of my current lot behave like that .

See with my pair, mutual grooming always ends up with biting then fighting/chasing. Typical siblings!

Sybil sometimes grooms Basil, but only if he is sitting on Mrs Grumpy. She does it to irritate him so he moves, thereby freeing up Mrs Grumpy's lap.

Happy Mother's' Day to all kitty mothers!

💐

(Leroy did not allow me a lie in today 🙄)

Now there's a question. Have our sons got round to doing anything for Mothering Sunday. I did remind them both earlier in the week .

The only time my DSis's sons remember Mother's Day is when their respective (female) partners sort it for them!

Leroy: No.

DS: He asked me (from the depths of his bed) if I wanted to open my "things" before I took Leroy out or when I got back. Which is promising.

Huzzah! DS2 made Mrs Grumpy a card.
When I texted DS1 this morning to wish him a happy Mothering Sunday he responded
'I shall call home after I have played in a Steinway masterclass' Pretentious git.

The cats needless to say have done sod all to celebrate. To he fair though we missed Basil and Sybil's 10th birthday earlier this month so it may be revenge.

Food coma here. I'm not allowed to move

I love it, Ollie is half on the warm fleecy blanket, and half on the nice cool M&S bedding. He's got the best of both worlds!

Keeps his bum warm and head cool he says

Leroy is the present. Leroy knows this.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats Obviously ds1 gets that from Mrs Grumpies side.

Au naturellement. He couldn't possibly have got it from moi.

You are one of the proletariat like us @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats 😂

Paws, who has never wanted the wet food has just asked to come in (via the door) and demolished ollies leftover £££ raw food

Christ on a furry bike that Purrform Raw is expensive shit!!! 😱

No wonder Ollie has smug-face and Paws polished it off!

I had a look for Leroy 'cause he likes a nice bit of raw meat... it's not gonna happen 😕

They’re meant to eat less raw though. I’d eat more if I lived on really processed food so I do wonder if it’s true they don’t need as much.

@Fluffycloudland77 nobody has told Ollie that
He's eaten 520g in 2 days (average is meant to be 100g a day..) I'm surprised he hasn't popped yet
Ordered some cheaper raw stuff which has v good reviews seeing as he's demolishing this

I always suspected they hadn’t read the feeding guides, asbo ate 450g wet a day. 500g if dh put him to bed that night.

Including fresh salmon, if I remember rightly. Darling Asbo.

I've ordered this sample pack and told him it's not a light snack

Also paws needs to start bin diving again

Paws didn't listen, has just come in and eaten all the food, licked the plate clean and vanished

Ollie "but but that's MY food"

Has anyone seen the AIBU thread about cats pooing in other peoples gardens. Shows a scary hatred of cats, lots of suggestions to ‘cat proof’ gardens to keep them in. Seems to be a complete lack of understanding that cats are considered wild animals and don’t give a toss whose garden humans think it is, they consider it to be there playground.
Tongue in cheek but seriously do people really think us cat owners cat control where our masters go and where they poo?
