Puddy and her fluffy paws 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@Justonedayatatime11

I loves her. But my god. She's so skinny and her mouth is a mess.

Poor thing. What a gorgeous face. She has landed on her feet with you.

Dave has me scratched to bits and worn out. I didn't realise how energetic kittens are when awake. He is getting big too. Tom slowly coming around. Has been hanging out at home more. He's getting plenty of play time just me and him.

Any bright ideas for this? I hate Ollie landing on the patio when he goes out the window - I might be being precious as it's a ground floor window so not high!
What could I put down for him to land on? I was thinking maybe a foam mat but they all seem to be for indoor only...

You can get get interlocking foam mats usually a 'for kids' type thing.

Like this, though I'm sure the ones we had for the paddling pool were as bright.

Ooh I'll have a look. I'm hoping for something grey/black to be discreet. He has the bench but he won't jump out onto that. And neither will paws

Do you mean you can't find a bespoke set of cat-sized stairs with a red carpet?

I mean I bought him a bench and he still refuses to jump out on to that mind you so does paws...

Interlocking play mats is the wording you want, I'm sure I saw some, they are also used for garages in a more sturdy variety

Though Amazon do have cat ladders

Cat ladders... that's another word for "come in, every not my cat within 5 miles"

If you scroll down to customer photos on this one you'll see someone's created cat dens 😂

Which one of you was it? C'mon, fess up!

@YesItsMeIDontCare spooky... I just ordered those!!!

That seems like a good idea. We had cat stairs for our elderly cat to get on the bed. Note I said "on", he would use them to go up. Getting down? Nope, threw himself off the bed with a big thump every single time

Cat fend you say ? Wasn't me though they DID like their cat dens

I must of pressed the wrong buttons as the other photos didn't post

And er yea I pulled a suitcase out so the could get on the bed, but they've figured climbing up through the headboard and between the pillows..... noisily

I keep reading everyone’s news & wanting to join in & completely failing to. Because assorted reasons. But am v sorry for those who’ve lost cats; & happy for those who’ve gained them (especially YAY KITTENS!!!); & I hope the poor wee kit that just is now minding is better soon.

The Ballet Cats are being particularly clingy just at the moment. Normally at least one of them would be napping atop my wardrobe at this time (they have their own spots) but instead Balanchine is sleeping on me; & Nijinsky is curled up by my feet. The furthest they’ve gone from me is when Lansipuss Maximus has swapped to curling up all of 5cm to the side of me - well, he’s further away when he follows me into the loo I suppose, but not that much frankly

(No idea why both photos posted… Mr B does indeed think that my front is an excellent & splendid spot to snuggle &/or sleep; but it’s the photo with the pink topsheet folded to my left - & Little Mermaid pyjamas - that’s from today).

They are gorgeous! They look so gentle.

Paw holds please. Charlie is back at the vets, doesn't look very good

Paw and hand hold. Is he snotty again?

He's so so ill . And he's been sick 4 times today

Poor Charlie.

Paws and fingers crossed for a good outcome for Charlie.

Oh poor Charlie 😢 everything crossed for him
