Chez Ollie - "Give me your tired, your paw, your purring masses..." - All welcome

New thread time, apologies to the Statue of Liberty.

Old thread here. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/the_litter_tray/4289202-Chez-Ollie-The-Not-My-Cats-of-many-colours-edition-All-welcome?msgid=110167942#110167942

Another possible help is that Boycat (long lean build, not fat) is around 6kg. If my elbow (5'2") rests by the base of his tail, I can just touch the front of his should blades with the tips of my fingers

Walter is not fat at all imho. Very handsome gentleman in his prime.

I've just checked the card from when he had his jabs in July, Walt weighs 4.86kg. He's short and stocky but not fat. He's long but seems to have relatively short legs. He's ace ❤️

@YesItsMeIDontCare

Might be able to help a bit *@Dilbertian*.

My chap is about 4ft from nose to tail end when lying down, tail out. He was weighed last week at 6.6kg and we need to be careful but no diet required atm.

Cat? Wow that’s a huge monster. How do you get him into a cat carrier?

Thanks, coastergirl. Walter must be very floofy! He doesn't sound nearly as big as he looks 

I'd guesstimate FattyCat to be 3'6" top of noise to top of tail when lying on his side. I had to measure different bits at different times and add them up, hence guesstimate. Compared to yours, YesItsMeIDontCare, 6.3kg sounds like maybe just a little more than he should be.

I think Ollie is winning the tiniest cat award at 3.4kg

@Dilbertian he isn't even particularly fluffy! I don't know why he looked so big. He does like to stretch out though and he feels big when he stretches on my knee. The vet says he's just right.

@NotMyCat , sorry, DCat 2 is 2.8kg, looks like a kitten but is very strong and muscly, despite being 15, as I find out to my peril every morning when I give her a pill

@KittenKong - it's a big carrier! He can turn round in with some thumping, creaking and wobbling, and he can "loaf" but that's about it. Fortunately the vets is less than 10mins away. He is a big boy, most people think he's a Maine Coon.

Busted....

"Yeah, and..."

Bernard is off to the vet tomorrow for his booster vaccinations. As such, today he’s having his favourite pastime of sitting in carrier bags indulged.

Bernard you are a rare beauty.

Bernard is gorgeous.

Checking in. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and are enjoy your back holiday.

Tom 5kg at last vet visit and they said he wouldn't want to her any heavier. He's tall and long, I don't think he looks chunky at all.

Dave is growing at a ferocious rate. He really is a little character. Relations with Tom improving. They were tearing around the house playing in the wee hours. Tom calls me out the back garden for his rubs. He is really coming along since Dave arrived.

I'm happy that Tom is beginning to appreciate his human. I presume Dave is still cuddly?

Spent all day rocking the street you-first-no-ok-me-then tripping dance with Capn.

We both remain alive and annoyed with each other. Rave on!

Flat is packed up - every box contains ginger fur. Emergency box contains Dreamies, valium and a cat lead...

Emergency box contains Dreamies, valium and a cat lead

You appear to be missing chocolate from the "essentials" list there...

Finally indeed. He is even purring.

Dave is still very cuddly. He is currently asleep on my lap. Growing so fast is exhausting business.

Well done on getting all the packing done super.

@TheLongRiderhow is tiny Nemo? A pictorial update might be quick and easy by way of answer :)

Hope the move goes smoothly Lana.

I've found some old photos tonight. My favourite photo of Walter, and a very funny photo of Helix, my girl who was killed by a car in 2017 😢

Oh no, just in case it's not clear, Helix was very much alive in that photo!

Helix is incredible looking. What a superb face - her colouring and splotches are the best. Walter's gone for the contemplative look in his portrait. Most classy.

@Supersimkin2

He's fine, thanks for asking. He hangs out in his girlfriend's garden all day. He's still the smallest cat in the house but is a hefty 4kg.

Good luck with the house move. I hope Mr. C likes the new arrangement. How are his health issues? I hope he's recovered from the heart attack.

He looks like our old orange tat. Biggest green eyes ever (and was a right bugger - liked stalking his humans but was scared of spiders).

Nemo has amber eyes that match his orange coat perfectly. Nemo is a total softy, chases spiders but is wary of other humans. Loves all other cats in the neighbourhood.
