Ollie has never seen an iron in his life. Take from that what you will Grin

Oh the unholy bliss of ironed cotton sheets Long. Nothing like the scent either.

I have Frette (via TK Maxx obv) and an iron still in its box 5 years on. If you shake Frette when slightly too damp it’s so refaiiined it looks ok without ironing - but not properly delish and suitable for Nemo like yours.

Miss Raven is not impressed that I let her brother lie on my lap as well. I've got her to accept it by agreeing to stroke her the most. She's getting grumpier and grumpier as the days go on, Toad is the only one of the tribe who can go near her without being hissed at and smacked.

I don't iron. Much to the disgust of my mother. She irons everything. Tea towels, dusters, knickers. All ironed.

TheLongRider · 27/01/2022 20:44

Ah now, knickers and tea towels are a step to far, even I have standards.

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/01/2022 21:23

I would not argue with Miss Raven.

Supersimkin2 · 27/01/2022 21:26

My uncle puts the while family’s knickers in the oven to warm them up on winter mornings.

My MIL irons socks. And was horrified when she learned that I don't.

Ours make a concerted effort to prevent any ironing at all...

That photo is so funny Grumpy. I'm just a little bit disappointed that Sybil (?) is missing.

I like ironing tea towels and dusters. They are small and there are no irritating bits like sleeves. It's everything else that's a nuisance.

coastergirl · 28/01/2022 09:24

Good effort there from Grumpy's cats.

PollyCreo · 28/01/2022 15:46

Love how Basil is majestically taking centre stage there Grumpy 😻

My four dcats are eating me out of house and home at the moment Shock I live abroad and it's usually 20 ish degrees in January but at the moment temperatures are about the same as the UK 🥶 I may as well just tip a big bag of dry food into a trough and let them get on with it 😾😹

Fluffycloudland77 · 28/01/2022 17:31

Basils the alpha. When Sybil’s asleep.

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 28/01/2022 17:53

Paws just arrived
Ollie "no"

Paws is playing!

Six months ago today Capn survived a heart attack. He wasn’t given long, but he’s still manfully working his way through the M&S lunch menu.

Papergirl1968 · 28/01/2022 22:37

Aww, well done Cap'n and Lana. May he have many more anniversaries (and lunches!)

Supersimkin2 · 28/01/2022 22:58

Thanks a million Paper.

Between ourselves I was told he wouldn’t last this long. But he’s so happy and purry.
Losing a bit of weight but still greedy. Loves cuddling more than ever. Still out daily trying to murder GAWB. And steal hams.

coastergirl · 28/01/2022 23:39

Ah Cap'n is a star!

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 29/01/2022 00:50

He deserves the whole of M&S Grin

Fun day here - smear test, 4th covid vaccine, bloods and had the oven cleaned. Ollie supervised the oven man obviously

Smear tests are not fun but a necessary evil. At least you didn't slam yourself into a ball and refuse to look at the nurse like Ollie in the vets.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 29/01/2022 08:50

Here's to Cap'n and many more M&S spoils!

Allergictoironing · 29/01/2022 09:31

Gin to Cap'n (or tipple of choice). I reckon it's a combination of sheer bloody mindedness, proving the vet wrong, and the devoted care and indulgence by his slave.

My dad was like that - was told he had max 6 months, remembered that the bible (which he didn't believe in) said 3 score years and 10, so he hung on well over a year until he'd passed his 70th birthday.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/01/2022 09:31

That’s two cats M&S has kept alive now. Where is he on salmon? Puddy only eats fresh or smoked, none of this tinned rubbish.

She’s not down with being fed like it’s a 1950’s working class funeral wake thank you very much. It’s a hard-no to the pork pie with an egg in the middle too.

Supersimkin2 · 29/01/2022 10:26

Gala pie, I love it. Have you tried crumbling the meat before Puddy approaches?

Silver Service is all.

Oh Yuk Queen - do you go to a dedicated blood test place? The nurses are so fast you feel nothing. When it comes to the other test, my doc says screaming out the Koran helps. I tried Grazia, works.
