She's a triple P, Pampered Princess Puddy.

We are minding NMC while her humans are away for a fortnight. She only lives a few doors away. Today she sauntered into the kitchen and savaged Nemo's toy rat. He watched her do it and then went over and sadly inspected the remains when she stalked out. You could see that he disliked his guest's bad manners.

Classy. He'll play for hours with that carpetsweeper too.

Capn went hysterical when I tried the pet freshening spray on him. It cost £15.

Supersimkin2 · 04/07/2021 20:54

He's nervous. Not bossy. Definitely nervous.

Papergirl1968 · 04/07/2021 20:59

Poor Nemo! Sad How rude is that NMC?!
And poor Cap’n. So glad he has lovely Lana as a mum!

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/07/2021 21:04

Oh dear, would he accept it if you sprayed it on a cloth.

Poor Nemo, that was very entitled behaviour.

Betsy's new toys arrived today :) she flung her new mousy about for a bit and chased her dangly feathers then went back to napping. She's so fat and lazy and because she is too scared to go out she is just getting podgier and podgier.

I am also tempted by a carpet sweeper the girls are moulting like crazy and they are both petrified of the hoover.

Supersimkin2 · 04/07/2021 21:33

Dear me, Long, that's an awfully rude brat of a cat. Other People's Cats, tsk.

No second playdate for him.

I'm so tired I've just buttered my toast with body lotion.

Water main burst yest in the kitchen - I'll spare you the details, clearing up was nearly as boring than hearing about it. Today I had to revamp a shop for the charity. Just collapsed after a shower and sunk teeth into Vineyard Peach Souffle on wholemeal. Bit soapy, not that bad considering.

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/07/2021 21:37

Probably not to dissimilar to marge in the 1970’s.

I bought a carpet sweeper pre-robo vacuum but it didn’t pick up well.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 04/07/2021 21:45

My nan had a carpet sweeper...

cricketmum84 · 04/07/2021 22:06

Ooh forgot to mention!! It's our 1st anniversary of Betsy's gotcha day today! A whole year of this ball of fluff who May in fact be a Tasmanian devil rather than a cat 😂

Happy Birthday Betsy! Lovely pix. She's a beaut,

YesItsMeIDontCare · 04/07/2021 22:53

Happy Gotcha Betsy!!! 🥳🎁

Papergirl1968 · 04/07/2021 23:23

Happy gotcha day Betsy!
Someone in our house has been weeing on the hall floor. Over shoes left in the hall, to be precise. The culprit was caught red handed or should that be red pawed tonight, squatting over my favourite pair of pink shoes. Shock
You may have all heard my outraged roar of “No Matt!” It did the trick though. He scarpered upstairs, hopefully to the litter tray in the bathroom, although I’ll probably get up there to discover he did it on my bed instead.

NotMyCat · 05/07/2021 01:18

Naughty Matt! Absolutely pouring down here, Ollie came in from the rain to use his tray Confused so you can imagine the state. I sent him back outside to rinse off

Fluffycloudland77 · 05/07/2021 07:08

Happy Gotcha Day Betsy.

I wonder why Matts started doing that.

cricketmum84 · 05/07/2021 07:20

@Papergirl1968 might be worth a trip to the vets if that's a behaviour change for him.

My DSis has a cat who gets frequent urine infections and he wees in strange places when it's starting.

NotMyCat · 05/07/2021 08:36

Having a quick cuddle with a neighbours NMC. He's about 22

Hello, NMC x2.

Poor Matt and poor you! He might be frightened or weedy.

PhilSwagielka · 05/07/2021 12:04

Gary threw up something disgusting next to my door, possibly in protest at me locking the cat flap at about 1am. He kept wanting to go out, only to come back in because it was pissing it down. Why are cats?

Fluffycloudland77 · 05/07/2021 13:07

Because they can’t be sacked!.

Puddy’s character is showing, she physically blocked dh from leaving the kitchen until he’d come up with gourmet. Even Asbo didn’t do that. No wonder her first owner said she’s prone to being overweight.

Supersimkin2 · 05/07/2021 13:12

Insanely proud of Puddy already.

Papergirl1968 · 05/07/2021 14:34

Matt had a good check over at the vets last week, but he’s due to go again next week so will see how the next few days go. He is starving hungry (or so he claims) and insanely loving at the moment!

Justonedayatatime11 · 05/07/2021 14:57

Drastic measures in the hope of this TV not being a victim of Savandalism. He's very good at getting up, not so good at getting back down Hmm

In the winter you can put a fleece up there for them.
