Site for sore eyes. Thanks all so so so much, am feeling much better and tottered to Waitrose to get Cap'n his specials on this week's menu ie the only pate he deigns to eat.

Today. He still just about forces M&S individual tins down but I have to use those in emergencies and ration them accordingly.

@YesItsMeIDontCare how do you walk Leroy in lockdown? Same as normal?

TheLongRider · 26/02/2021 23:01

Nemo is still being washed by Hobbes. Nowadays it turns into a nipping session. It's like a sibling squabble, "Mum, he bit me!". "Yeah, well you never clean your ears properly".

Thanks TheLongRider for starting the new thread.

Glad you are not covidy Supersimkin2. Hope the cold or whatever it is goes soon. Walter is looking too irresistible Coastergirl so any complaints about him disturbing the baby will be disregarded. I love the picture of Ollie QueenPaw because the rest of him seems so small.

Morticia and Wednesday would make the perfect parcel to receive swampy.

I don't know why you are complaining about claw marks on the card table, Grumpy. You misread the instructions. It is a cat table not a card table.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 26/02/2021 23:56

@Supersimkin2 - yep. Exactly the same, the dog walkers didn't really change their routines much so I figured we were in the same "animal welfare" reasoning.
During first lockdown that was why DS started doing the evening walk - so we were going out once a day each, the December one Leroy was hardly going out anyway (wimp) and this one I've given less of a shit 'cause I've (probably) had covid anyway. Everyone's pretty good at social distancing round here.

I rarely see anyone when the weather's cold anyway!

coastergirl · 26/02/2021 23:57

@nettie434 that is a most excellent summing up!

@Supersimkin2 I'm glad you are feeling better.

Papergirl1968 · 27/02/2021 11:06

That is a lovely photo of Nemo and Hobbes, TheLongRider.

My cats really are stupid. This is Morticia pretending to be ET 😂😂

Grin or Baby Yoda!!!

What about Leroy refusing his constitutional when weather inclement. No dog would be that helpful.

Papergirl1968 · 27/02/2021 23:39

Wednesday the burrito (purrito) cat.Smile

Papergirl1968 · 27/02/2021 23:40

Oops sorry, Morticia!

swampytiggaa · 28/02/2021 04:20

It’s ok @Papergirl1968 I had to check which one it was 😂😂

Supersimkin2 · 28/02/2021 09:12

Sneaking back for another look at smiling Nemo. Capn relaxing after several breakfast choices.

Ollie is drinking plant water with the added flavour of a plastic bag. No idea

Contemplating how he can push Ollie off the windowsill so he can get out

Soooo... done anything stupid today?

I've just given Leroy a really thorough brushing followed by a butt scritch and some tummy rubs. I'm wearing a white top 🤦🏼‍♀️

TheLongRider · 28/02/2021 14:55

You mean an artisan self-created cat mohair top, in a fetching shade of grey! Wink

The little feckers are all shedding like mad in this house.

Checking in.

My furry overlord is asleep in the spare bedroom, allowing me to use my laptop in peace.

That's the one 😁

TheLongRider · 28/02/2021 15:29

I'm wearing the matching trousers. I've just brushed the black and white cat and now my black trousers have an interesting pattern of white hairs. Totally in fashion for SS2021.

Nice!.

Yes. And his own bathroom, too. And he's the only one who uses the dining room as I like to eat in the sitting room.
