I hope the cat hand over goes well.

Lenny has found a box of light bulbs and made a cat shaped gap.

A lot of very clever people are badly coordinated, is all. Ollie's skillset is more cultured and social

He knows how to extract treats by being cute.

Been on an M&S trip today. If anyone is looking for a bargain, their dine in deal is 4 mains and 4 sides for £15! I got this lot
Not as good as @Supersimkin2 yellow stickers but...

I shall be attending this luxury retailer shortly! That's even cheaper than stickers, believe me, and all those goodies look lush.

It’s happy gotcha day for the idiot sisters! 2 years since I had wallpaper and soft furnishings I could be proud of 💕

Happy gotcha day for the idiot sisters and you, Swampytiggaa. You know what I am going to suggest for the celebrations, don't you? Another outing for their bonnets . Not really! I don't want the day to end badly.

Hope Ollie (and your lip) are getting better, QueenPaw!

Are Ivy and Betsy sisters, Cricketmum84? That is a great photo. That melting feeling is so clear. It feels slightly less sticky today.

Wishing all the lovely Litter Tray posters a lovely weekend. I need to tackle some laundry....

Happy Gotcha day wishes

I (very unusually) combed Basil's ruff today. I think he's looking very dapper now.
Before and after photos.

Basil you are very handsome!

Happy Caturday, everyone!

Hi Basil!
Happy gotcha day for the idiot sisters

Only 1 of these cats belong to me. Storm is keeping half an eye on the ginger cat just in case of sudden moves

Congratulations on reaching two years' indentured servitude! Without a single hour, let alone a day off!!!

@swampytiggaa. Wishing you many more years of ripped sofas and mystery stains!!!!

The more talkative Boycat is getting, the more I wonder about him. He very rarely makes a noise that could be considered meowing, more often it's sort of creaking noises & squeaky exclamations. But today took the biscuit, he QUACKED like a duck when he wanted cuddles!

@nettie434 no not sisters although they are very very similar! Ivy is 4 and Betsy has just turned 1.

When the rescue called me to say I was next in line for a kitten they just told me she was black and white. Imagine my face when I got there to pick her up and she was just a small, fluffier version of Ivy. Matching cats rule 😂

A very quiet duck I should add, he doesn't do volume.

@Allergictoironing Betsy doesn't meow either! She just chirrups and squeaks.

I sometimes wonder if the reason she won't venture outside is because she thinks the other cats will make fun of her 😂

The loudest noise Girlcat makes is her growl, she only started meowing in the last year or two even then it's creaky and quacky. Her purr is completely silent, you can feel it if you touch her neck.

She does communicate very effectively through meaningful glances and glares and her tail tells many a story.

Happy gotcha day to swampy and the idiot sisters.

I love the photos of Basil. He looks bewildered in the first one and angry in the second.

NMC is now around every evening. He's very cheeky. Got some photos last night.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Gotcha day, Swampy.

Gomez celebrated by trying to throw herself out of a third floor window and Morticia fell off the upstairs banister 🤨 fortunately Wednesday is too lazy/stupid to get up to such shenanigans 😂😂

Out of interest, how many names do your cats have??

Ivy is: ivy, Ivycat, big cat, lady cat, slinky cat, ivester, skinny cat, mum cat, ivy bear and softy cat

Betsy is: Betsy, Betsy boo, Betsy boo bear, kitten, small cat, fluffball, fluffy cat and fluffum.

No wonder neither of them respond when I call their names!!

Safety first paws. Not like that's the middle of the road.. oh wait

Walter is also: Walty, Little Walt (not bloody little anymore!), Walt, Walter-walter-john-travolta, and "oi cat get off that!" 😂

Ollie is - ollivander, boo, boo boo, stinks, chicken, munchkin, darling, idiot cat, knob...

Matt is Mattie Boo. Boo seems to be popular!
Socks is Socksie or Sockie Kitten - even though she's two.
Occasionally they get called each other's names - or the dog's!

I've finally realised the most important reason for cats being allowed to roam.

I'd never get the chance to meet, talk to and stroke little cuties like this one on my street this morning. And he was clearly very pleased to meet me too
