Top of the morning to Mr Sunny! How handsome and relaxed he looks!

What a beautiful, mature gentleman.

TheLongRider · 25/05/2021 13:00

Hello to Mr Sunny! What do the other cats think of him?

@nettie434 - Good spot - it was indeed Lenny.

Waves to Mr. Sunny.

I'm cleaning for the valuation on Friday. Ollie has been instructed to keep paws out and sit neatly in his teepee SILENTLY
Progress so far on the room I don't use (storage/clothes/laundry/junk room)

Bloody hell @QueenPaw want to come and declutter my entire house?!

TheLongRider · 25/05/2021 18:50

Excellent decluttering QueenPaw. I'm going to bet that Ollie greets the assessor like a long lost friend. Tell them to bring Dreamies.Grin

That shot's worthy of a Declutter Your Soul book cover @QueenPaw.

Sequel: Get A Cat by Ollie Queen, MA.

More to do tomorrow afternoon! Most is done but living room and kitchen both are still to go

cricketmum84 · 25/05/2021 21:35

Can I get in the queue for @QueenPaws services???

Papergirl1968 · 25/05/2021 22:10

Thanks, Nettie.
Mr Sunny is lovely, Just. He looks a happy chap.
I had a half hearted sort of my floordrobe today. As in I piled it on the bed instead. Blush
Clearly I need Queen to show me the error of my ways.

It's not only Lenny (and TC) who attempt to break through the patio doors.

And in grown-up news; after a number of failed start dates, I finally start my new job at 9.00 this morning. It's going to feel very odd being a wage slave again, (and also being in a job that is almost entirely wfh)

Welcome to the world of WFH Grumpy. I've done nothing else since the beginning of March 2020. Your new colleagues will soon know your cats by name

Supersimkin2 · 26/05/2021 08:10

How did Day 1 go Grumpy? Did TC enjoy his first Zoom? Were all your workmates suitably felled by Sybil's beauty?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 26/05/2021 08:20

@Supersimkin2
I actually only start today - it's taken forever for the admin to be sorted.
I plan to keep the cats put of my office area GrinGrinGrinGrin.

nettie434 · 26/05/2021 08:36

Good luck for your new job, Grumpy. I confess I am slightly disappointed that your colleagues won't be dragged into The World of TC as he suddenly jumps into view on a Zoom/Teams call.

I'm in awe of your cleaning and clearing up skills, QueenPaw!

cricketmum84 · 26/05/2021 08:42

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats good luck today! I'm also completely home based now so my colleagues get regular glimpses of the terrible twosome walking in front of my camera or hear the growling in the background while they are wrestling 😂

Betsy likes to sit on the windowsill to watch me and look pretty in the background.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 26/05/2021 09:13

Having TC glare at the camera during zoom calls you'd rather not be on might be an effective strategy.

TheLongRider · 26/05/2021 09:23

"Feeling cute, might delete later".

Good luck with the new job Grumpy.

I'm off to have bloods taken and sent to Denmark (random) and then it's home to start on the kitchen clear...

QueenPaw · 26/05/2021 13:20

Kitchen progress...

I just came home early for our weekly MS Teams team meeting (we don't have work PCs, laptops or desks, just mobiles), checked my work mobile as soon as I got in & found out the meeting has been cancelled! I am NOT going to drive 25 miles back to patrol the towns for an hour & come home again, nor is that expected, so win! Boycat is somewhat confused, but very pleased to see me about 3 hours earlier than usual.

However I do need to spend the whole of tomorrow morning scraping anti-covid stickers off surfaces around on town centre - the ones saying Covid is a hoax, ditch the muzzle, media is the virus etc. Hmm

I HATE White Rose supporters Sad

TheSilveryPussycat · 27/05/2021 00:29

I'm still here. Thought you might like to see my lucky little black cat, she is about 50 years old...

I’m so enjoying browsing this forum while I try and learn all I can before we bring home our first cats at the end of the June... so far I’ve only posted photos of the very handsome NMC two doors up who has us all under his spell but these are (kind of, two of them, soon to be!) our own, thought I’d post a first wee hello since we decided on their names yesterday.... two of these will be Rosie and Theo (Teddy when he’s being cute!) and are due to join us in just over 4 weeks!

This is lovely!
cricketmum84 · 27/05/2021 08:47

Are anyone else's cats WAY lazier than usual this week? I swear Ivy and Betsy have just dozed all day every day!
