I hope the cat hand over goes well.

@Justonedayatatime11

The mini leopards, big and small, are absolutely loving this weather

Oh wow what beautiful cats!! Is the first one a Savannah?

@cricketmum84 they're all Savannah's 
@YetAnotherSpartacus yes, number 3 is Charlie. Eyeing up a pigeon on the roof in the hope he can entice it down into his mouth!

Ah the darker colour threw me with the other two! What gorgeous mini leopards!

Darling Charlie. I’m not convinced he wouldn’t be scared of a pigeon in real life.

@YetAnotherSpartacus Charlie is scared of EVERYTHING. Biggest wimp there is!

@Supersimkin2 - Don't believe you - I bet you're dead famous .

Meanwhile Karl the dirty stop out has been in the library with me all day, clearly worn out after last night's shenanigans, and also feeling far too hot.

@Justonedayatatime11
I suspect your mini leopards are much better adapted to the heat than my moggies with black fur coats.

@Justonedayatatime11 Summer wouldn't be summer without the leopards living it up. And Charlie having funtimez - he's so happy now you've got him.

Still living in hope for a family portrait of Just's kitty cats

How's the new job Grumpy? Got one of those USB powered fans from JL, proving very popular with my two Ollie lookalikes

Well the cats are absolutely loving it.

The big boy does love a lemon cheesecake 
@Defiantly41 I'd love a feline family portrait! But the babies wouldn't sit still and the f2s would scratch my eyes out

I thought lemon was really bad for cats?

Whether that's true or not is largely irrelevant- there is no way in hell I would share my lemon cheesecake with anybody. Or any other flavour cheesecake tbh.

Chances of Super's real name being Jo? 😁

Socks came home eventually, and was enticed in with food. Then snuggled up against me like a little hot water bottle on one of the warmest nights of the year. . Glad the other kitties returned too. My two are both in already tonight - I need an early night!
Just, your cats are beautiful. I don't think lemon is bad for them, is it? I just heard cats are meant to hate citrus smells. Clearly Charlie didn't get the memo.
Queen, is there any news of dear little Dinks?

CHARLIEEEEEEE! I just love him. ❤️

After discovering the other night that Walter visits my neighbour, tonight he's come in smelling of perfume and sun cream! Neighbour says he hasn't been there...so how many homes does he have?! He's here the majority of the time, so I'm a bit confused.

Yes, Charlie is gorgeous :)

Charlie is a menace. But he's undeniably loveable and a big softy.
I'm off to see big Charlie's today . About to embark on a road trip to Kent to an open day at the big cat sanctuary and I couldn't be much more excited if I tried!

Working from home with cats is just sooooo much fun 🤔

You need a toy decoy laptop for her.

I'm imagining Charlie (if he was able to go along) open-mouthed at the bigger versions of himself and wondering if he looks that big to other cats...

I'm also imagining him wanting Mama to pick him up and hide him.

Since starting home working last week, I always have company BUT as yet none of them have tried to join calls, get on my lap, sit on the keyboard, miaow loudly at me, produce a hairball etc. once.
I currently just have three fluffy companions curled up asleep in different parts of the office behaving impeccably.

I think my cats may be broken.

Nah. They are just waiting until your guard is down and they have firmly established their right to be there ...

Yes, I'm afraid your cats are faulty, @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

Please see photo of normal cat for reference purposes.

@JoanOgden
Thank you - I feel sure the user manual suggested something much more akin to your experience

Mine always choose the moment I join a zoom call to start wildly wrestling with accompanying growls and loud squawks.

All well and good until you are in an important meeting with the board of directors.

On a call with the CIO this morning. Not a sqeak from any of them. Cat fail!
