Dusters at dawn: Capn had a fight with GAWB this morning.

Is anyone old enough to remember Ken Dodd and his fluffy feather duster sticks?

Woke to see two huge orange ones flailing madly in the silent grey London dawn.

Staggered out, all placid and empty - then awful yowling from inside a jasmine bush.

Capn won. His tail didn't go back down for about three hours. GAWB shot me a pleading look before he whisked off, showing Capn his arse.

Oh lord, someone tell that cat he’s got a heart condition.

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 31/12/2021 13:12

I got some of those mollys mice catnip
Ollie, who doesn't usually do catnip has just begged with his paw until I opened them

I have been ordered by the tribe to find out where you get the Molly's Mice catnip? Apparently I am a terrible human for not already supplying new catnip toys. They're also not happy with me as I spent Christmas in the New Forest with my dad and came back smelling of D.O.G.

Molly's Mice also has its own website. I always use that.

mollysmice.co.uk

Fluffycloudland77 · 31/12/2021 14:24

Your lucky your not consigned to the shed for that @Athenajm80.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 31/12/2021 15:48

ALRIGHT!!! I GIVE UP!!!

I have succumbed to Molly's Mice, I shall let you all know if they are adored as much as Mousies are.

You are unlikely to regret it.

I'm going to get Walter a couple too. The litter tray will be full of stoned cats.

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 31/12/2021 16:15

Peace and quiet

Your pocket may well regret it though Wink

Happy new year everyone Smile
Ollie is watching the "bang bangs" out the window

YesItsMeIDontCare · 01/01/2022 00:18

And a Happy New Year 🥳 from me & Leroy too!

Leroy is asleep in a large box and is paying no attention to the fireworks whatsoever.

He's a bit Smaug-like in there... 🙈

Athenajm80 · 01/01/2022 00:36

Right, Molly's Mice are being ordered tomorrow to appease my overlords.

Frankenstein is not impressed by the fireworks and keeps giving me death glares each time one goes off. The rest are ignoring them. Lexter hasn't flinched once and has slept through them all, I swear nothing wakes him when he's snoring. I wish I slept like a cat!

Happy New Year to you and your furry overlords.

Overdid the sleeping potions last night - slept right through the fireworks as I'd hoped for, & didn't wake up until Boycat jumped on me at 8:15 demanding a cuddle. Even dozed off again snuggled up to the warm cuddly furriness of him Xmas Smile

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/01/2022 09:45

Happy new year from Little Missy and (not so) Little Boy.

Spart!!!!!! The Beauties of 2022!!!

Might they be YC?!

Happy New Year to everyone from me ‘n’ Capn. Got woken up after 4 hours’ sleep by our caretaker shouting Have You SEEN What Your Cat Is Doing and other seasonal pleasantries. Let’s just say Capn was patrolling the estate. Helpfully.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/01/2022 10:14

Yes, they have adopted me :).

It's all official.

Supersimkin2 · 01/01/2022 10:31

What a fantastic start to the year. Congratulations to you family of three.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/01/2022 10:33

Thank you, Lana! They moved right in and took over the place - I now just live here and fill food bowls and change the litter!

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/01/2022 11:12

Aww, look at his cheek pouches! And a tortie as well. Congratulations on your new job. Don’t forget vacuuming, you’ll be vacuuming every day like the rest of us and reviewing which robot hoover has the longest battery life.

I can never understand those housework articles that list which jobs are daily or weekly & have vacuuming down for weekly. Our house would be one giant dust bunny by then.

TheLongRider · 01/01/2022 11:20

@YetAnotherSpartacus Congratulations on your new cats. They look as if they have opinions about how things are run in your household. I hope you live up to their standards.

Are they siblings and do you know much about them?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/01/2022 11:31

Thank you! Yes, they do have opinions about dinner time (and breakfast time, lunch and snacks) as well as playtime and bedtime. I'm herded to bed at about 8.30 pm (no chance) and then I must lay still while they bicker over who gets the best spots.

They are not siblings and they are not bonded but they do get on well together, sleep near each other and play together. She likes sniffing his bum and he tried to kiss her and gets swatted. I guess that's the natural order of things.

And yes, I have rediscovered my relationship with my vacuum cleaner.
