I hope the cat hand over goes well.

Not sure yet, I need to speak to rescue and see

What are you going to call him (leading question to the defence, m’lud)

He's called Dinks

He looks quite young. I'd say he's delighted with you.

He's got a very oriental face with that long type nose. Apparently around 4 years old

Ridiculously handsome Not My Cat from two doors up has been making it his business to befriend us and help the little ones get some practice in before we bring home our two cats in a few weeks.. he’s so lovely and gentle and they are loving learning from him!

@QueenPaw

Cat is now quiet, and happily tucked up in bed with me 🙄🙄🙄🙄

He is so handsome

Capn’s got the arse on cos hoover. Had to be soothed with triple breakfast. Now it’s only 5 min to lunch and he’s bolt upright sentry-style by his dish.

Ollie and Dinks is a good name for a series. I should know, done several.

Just saying.

Can you afford the cat food? I’m only asking cos we’re all so brassic (southern word, I presume, for penniless) at the mo. Will think of something if not.

I have a case of Felix that AlfonsoCat won't eat that I could donate to the cause, @QueenPaw.

Ok for now, he's eating dry as apparently wet upsets his stomach but I suspect that's probably due to other issues
Ollie isn't sure, and there's some growling going on but they're in the same room

Checking out the nap spots

He's gorgeous. I would call him Bowie. But then I've always wanted a white cat named Bowie 😂

@QueenPaw pleeeeeease keep him!!

@cricketmum84 - Changes is named after the David Bowie song. So when we chutch him in we can go 'Ch ch ch ch Changes!'

I'm sure Dinks will go to a good home. Queen would have to get Ollie's agreement and Paws would have to be consulted too. Has Ollie huffed off to find Paws and tell him about the new cat?

@IHaveBrilloHair

Thank you SappysCurry He was Dds cat, just because he decided he was, and to this day I'm not sure she's truly got over losing him, even though she's moved out and has her own cat now and a snake

🐍 haha They don’t do it for me He looks like my lad when he was young He’s 13 now I can’t face my life without him tbh

How's things with Ollie and Dinks overnight and this morning?

I don't always want to lay on your knee. But when I do it's always 4 minutes before you are due to start work.

(Ivy, aged 3 and a half)

I kept them separate overnight. Ollie is mostly eyes on stalks, Dinks has growled a few times
He's off to rescue tomorrow
Really I can't keep him as he has to be an indoor cat and I can't have one indoor and one outdoor!

@cricketmum84 Obvs Ivy can tell the time.

Notice how it’s ok for Ollie to bring friends round but not you.

That's cats for you: they make up the rules as they go along.

I have a foster arriving next week. Golden oldie, never seen a vet in his life or been flea treated . Urgh, why are some people so awful?!

@Justonedayatatime11
Dinky stinks, I have no idea what he's been eating but and his mouth is vile, I can smell it when I'm in the same room as him
He's such a lovely cat too, absolutely no trouble and as affectionate as Ollie
