Paws is filthy no idea where he has been

It's a black and white cat thing. Mine come back looking like they've just done a 12 hour shift down a coal mine. There are no coal cellars round here. Grey cat is always pristine, black and white boy always looks faintly grubby until he's had a wash.

Ollie has sniffed him all over so he must smell interesting!

Leroy is attacking imaginary stuff in the undergrowth. He's in a right strop. An hour late for his walk due to DS's last Young Driver Driving Lesson (he's 17 next week so god help other road users now) and he's let me know how I've utterly failed him.

I've got Dreamies. It won't take him long to love me again.

(((Hugs))) to all broke Litter Trayers. Been there, done that. Fuck knows how I got through it, but I did and so will you. I'm still a pleb, but I'm a just-over-the-poverty-line-pleb rather than under it!

Ollie "I don't know mama, nothing to do with me"
New cat would like a name. Also filthy and covered in scratches to the nose

Oh @QueenPaw look at that little face 💕 Ollie knows his mama has a huge heart 💕

DH suggests Begbie!

@TheLongRider

DH suggests Begbie!

Begbie!?! Adolf or Saddam might be a cuter name 🤔

He looks a bit careworn doesn’t he? Poor boy.

He's more nervy than paws, I tried to say hello but he wasn't having it. Squeaked a few times at Ollie who wasn't scared of him at all

more nervy than paws ... Squeaked a few times

Mouse?

Patches is my humble offering.
Or Number Four...

For some reason food themed names are coming to mind.
Sausage
Spud
Beansie

Wanderer names
Hobo
Finn
Phineas

Maybe he should be Patches Hobo Mouse

Raws. He squeaks! Poor little love, glad he's found you.

Number four 😂

@TheLongRider I used to have an NMC whose real name actually was Sausage! We ended up sharing him because he didn't like the dog at home. Then the owner moved and he was mine for a while, until she came and took him home for good. He was lovely and Walter adored him. He used to dribble when he was kneading things! He did disrupt the lovely relationship between Walter and Helix though.

Ollie just had his tea, climbed on my lap and burped in my face (definitely not envy)

Better than a cat fart though!

He claims not to fart. I ask if he's got a stinky bum and he huffs at me and shoves his head under the blanket

Paws is here. Sniffed the wet food, the dry, rejected both and looked longingly at the fridge

It wasn’t normal wet cooked food was it 😲?.

Is Ollie's facebook page down? The only Ollie the cat pages I can see belong to impostor Ollies. Like the Ollie that hangs out at a branch of B&M?
Well, I have a job. I've been offered Dunelm. I really want the GP receptionist job because I really enjoyed my trial today but won't know till tomorrow at the earliest. I'm minded to cancel Lidl interview tomorrow. Probably pays better but harder work - they have targets on the tills and shelf stacking.

@Fluffycloudland77 even worse - it was just a pouch of food 
@Papergirl1968 yayyyy!! Well done (and yes, I'm having a FB break and can't have ollies page without my personal FB which is REALLY annoying)

Congratulations! I’m so pleased for you. Lidl would be hard work.

Really happy for you @Papergirl1968
