You did the right thing, Queen. I'm sure he did love you but having one indoor and one out was not realistic for the three of you Flowers.

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 22/05/2021 18:53

Joe keeps nicking my seat every time I get up, and yet his shock and outrage at being moved never lessens. It doesn't seem to be causing him too much stress.

Hope you're OK, Queen. I bet Ollie is Confused as to why Dinks has suddenly vanished.
Joe is very cute, HeyDemons. How could you have the heart to move him? Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/05/2021 22:04

@HeyDemonsItsYaGirl One day he’ll discover a well placed back paw on the wrist renders humans unable to pick cats up.

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 22/05/2021 22:22

He clamped his paw over my mouth the other night. I guess he'd had enough of being told he's beautiful and I love him. Grin

Does anybody else's cat kick out their back legs when they get up? I read it can be a sign of arthritis but he's only six and doesn't have any other signs...

QueenPaw · 22/05/2021 22:27

Ollie did make me laugh shouting at Dinks right in his ear
Dinks was snoring away oblivious Grin

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 23/05/2021 00:25

Is Dinks deaf, Queen? My oldest boy has recently gone deaf and I find myself still chatting away to him!

QueenPaw · 23/05/2021 01:07

Yep, totally. He has such a loud miaow!
He basically slept curled up next to me all day and then when I moved he would run after me
This was him at breakfast before he went

Little lad!

Just lurched back from work. We won Top Shop again, smug. A woman stopped me in the street where I was sucking down a whole fag in 2 secs flat to say I looked so good that was why she shopped there. :) I was wearing a cobalt blue midi dress accessorised with matching... blue loo paper headscarf-style. I kid you not, I was doing the industrial cleaning, but I'm so pleased I might just try that look again.

Capn's had the rest of an M&S steak pie and he's having an early night.

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 23/05/2021 22:31

Sounds like a winning outfit Super!

Joe is very annoyed. He wants to go out to dig 43 holes in succession before finding the perfect one to deposit his... doings... in. But it's raining heavily and as an ex-stray he's had enough of being rained on, thank you very much. He's giving me the stink eye because this is obviously my fault.

swampytiggaa · 24/05/2021 05:57

I ended up with all 3 cats in my bedroom last night. I’ve had very strange dreams where I kept finding NMC’s all around my house. It was very strange but quite sweet 😂😂

QueenPaw · 24/05/2021 16:09

Welcome to my world @swampytiggaa Grin
Paid the fee for the mortgage application today, now to wait. The broker said basically they don't apply if they think there will be any issues so I have everything crossed
Ollie doesn't care about my problems and is snoozing in his teepee (which he LOVES)

cricketmum84 · 24/05/2021 16:15

Betsy Boo is feeling shy today 🥰🥰🥰

swampytiggaa · 24/05/2021 16:31

I did think of you @QueenPaw because the first nmc looked very much like Dinks and was super affectionate 💕

I also had 4 black kittens and 2 fluffy ones.

Tbh I think my 3 were making their presence known all night 😂😂

Good luck with the mortgage! Maybe the 4 black kittens are sending you good luck 🤞

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/05/2021 19:09

Oi, you. Stop taking bloody photos and let me in.

Nice to see a resident trying to use the door.

Capn's neatly spat M&S sausages over the carpet by the bed. Back to Felix AGAIL DD with crunchy topping. Will work for forgiveness over an armpit tickle presently.

Papergirl1968 · 24/05/2021 23:17

Fingers crossed, Queen.
DD2 was able to visit for the first time in eight months and Matt made such a fuss of her. He definitely recognised her. However Socks hid and only emerged when I got back from taking DD home. She is such a timid little thing. She isn't a lap cat at all yet spends all night cuddled up to me in bed though, so she must see me as her protector. Smile

QueenPaw · 24/05/2021 23:29

I'll swap Ollie with someone at the minute, he's whinging to go out like he does every night despite not being allowed at this time, I've told him he's too small and black and to go to bed
Ollie "mama? Your ears not working like dinky. I'll stand next to you and SCREAM down your ear. Wanna go OUT" Hmm

Papergirl1968 · 25/05/2021 00:21

Sympathies. Socks meows loudly and persistently when she wants to go out, and stands on her back legs to try to reach the door handle.
However when dd was here I was calling her over and over, and getting quite worried because it was unlike her not to come when she was called, but not a peep out of her, even when I rattled the Dreamies.
Our furry overlords (and overladies) just like to keep us on our toes.

LikeAnOldFriend · 25/05/2021 04:01

Aw all your cats are so lovely! Dinks is gorgeous, sure they will find him a lovely new home x

cricketmum84 · 25/05/2021 08:58

Naughty Ivy caught herself a little bird this morning 😢 and then got mugged by a magpie who stole it from her and flew off with it!

She's still sulking.

nettie434 · 25/05/2021 09:27

Belatedly checking in to say good luck with the new mortgage QueenPaw and well done for helping with Dinks. Glad you are recovering Supersimkin2

Is that Lenny, Grumpy? Definitely less sneaky than TC in terms of trying to get in!!

I knew magpies were bold but that one needs a Bird George Cross, Cricketmum84.

Good that you got to see your daughter, Papergirl1968 and that Matt recognised her.

Justonedayatatime11 · 25/05/2021 11:42

New foster boy Mr Sunny would like to say hi. He's a rather elderly old man at 16 but still very playful and likes to climb!

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 25/05/2021 11:44

Hello Mr Sunny! You don't look a day over 10.
