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

What beauties, Just.
Good luck. Yes. Keeping our paws crossed for you.

@NotMyCat

Ollie just toppled off the sofa. He was sat there perfectly happy and then managed to trip over his own paw and fall off it

That's the kind of thing Boycat does. He completely missed the windowsill the other day jumping off my bed (about 2 feet away, and about 2 feet higher, usually manages ok) and sort of slithered down the wall landing with a thud..

@Allergictoironing three times now he's been using his scratch box and got his claws hooked together so both front paws are latched and then wailed at me like it's my fault
When I untangle him he glares at me!

Massive good luck @Yes. Leroy will be moody as he has lost a key staff member, but he'll doubtless ask you to freelance for him at eves and weekends.

@NotMyCat @Allergictoironing

This is not making me feel any better about mine being on the roof. I thought cats were meant to be graceful and elegant!

@YesItsMeIDontCare good luck!!! Hopefully you will both get the job and Leroy will forgive you.

@Justonedayatatime11 they're beautiful. Forgive my ignorance - are they a special sort of cat?

@Motorina I sometimes sing to him "he's beauty and he's grace with a funny little face"
He sneezes at me in disgust

Hahahaha the sneeze of disgust! I hope you feel suitably chastened. (He is a beauty though.)

@Motorina these particular 3 are a silver Savannah, a caramel tabby oriental and a Havana brown

@Justonedayatatime11 I know it's a frequent question but just how many cats do you have?

Good luck for your interview YesitsmeIdontcare. Fantastic photo Just. How on earth did you get them to line up so neatly or was it luck?

Fun evening in the Yes household tonight.

The scene: DS & I are calmly eating dinner in the sitting room watching telly.

DH (from outside): LEROY!!! WHAT??? NO!!! Come here you little shit! Shit, where's he gone... NOOOOOO!!! NOT IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!

DS: What the fuck?

Me (barely raising an eyebrow): Mouse.

DH: He's got a mouse. I didn't know he could move so fast.

I knew 😁

Walter woke me up at 3.17am by turning the TV on! I guess I won't leave the remote on the sofa again.

Don't worry about anything Boycat gets up to @Motorina .

We (including the vet) refer to him as special needs and we think he had a bash on the head while he was still feral. He has the attention span of a paralytic goldfish, is very easily confused, has separation anxiety and is terrified of just about anyone coming in the house as well as very clumsy. On the other hand he's a total cuddle monster and I wouldn't change him for the world!

I expect Walter watches TV every night, looking for cat videos. He was just unlucky last night that you interrupted his viewing.

@Defiantly41 um, 18 . Yes, I am probably insane!

What on earth was he watching at 3.17 in the morning?

Just

You are a saint, I know they were all in need of your loving help

@Defiantly41 it's bloody hard work but I wouldn't change it. Except maybe the financial costs!

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats I dread to think!

@Justonedayatatime11 you are amazing. Do they all get along well?

@coastergirl for the most part yes. Alaska hates the chocolate girls and batters them if she gets the chance. Willow is temperamental but that's due to the percentage of serval in her. And they all pick on Mica who wouldn't say boo to a goose so she has her own room

@YesItsMeIDontCare how did it go with the interview ?

I've just had a text pop up from an agency and thought 'oh bugger not now I want some more time at home with the kittens' though it was not my normal agency

Phew work averted for a few more weeks

Dexy has been over and hissed at me the temperamental bugger and had ignored the Dreamies

He's bought two mice into the garden this week

Just chillin in the shade

So just had a very confused Dexter, as OH blocked up the cat hole in the gate. Dex can go through next door but came meowing to me

So yes I got up and opened the gate for him

Thank you Oldraver 😊 Went quite well I think, but you never know with these things do you. Nobody rolled their eyes at me though so I can't have been too crap 😁

Leroy has had another mouse, this one was lucky though and escaped. DH does get in to a flap about it all though even though I've shown him how to "praise & distract" 🤦🏼‍♀️
