Please please meet up and then post really confusing pix of the wrong hand on the cat 🤣

Supersimkin2 · 14/01/2022 08:37

Capn’s just dragged nearly a whole ham out from under the bed.

We won’t be in today if the neighbours pop in.

Please pass on our congratulations. That's proper catting Grin

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/01/2022 09:10

I now have an image of Cap'n running down the street with a string of sausages in his mouth, pursued by an irate butcher (Beano style).

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 14/01/2022 09:14

Ollie has now perked up and gone to wonder if there is ham under his humans bed

This new flats given the Captain a whole new lease of life, home invasion, punch ups and now ham theft.

coastergirl · 14/01/2022 09:29

The mental image of Cap'n pulling a ham out from under the bed is giving me the giggles. Excellent.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 14/01/2022 09:33

Why do you keep ham under the bed?

Fluffycloudland77 · 14/01/2022 09:40

Captains taken it there like prey.

A Litter Tray meet up would be a fabulous event. Obviously we'd have to meet on the Isle of Man because that would be neutral territory.

I intend to be in the UK doing another long cycling event in September. It starts in Clitheroe so I'd be nearer to Ollie than anyone else.

I'm imagining the AIBU thread.

DH claims he's just meeting with a bunch of mad cat women he's met on the internet. I looked at his mobile and there are a large number of photos of cats including ones belonging to other people Shock. What should I do?

I remember first meeting someone off the internet and the 1000 questions my dad asked
He met her and found she wasn't an axe murderer

Now it's "oh you're meeting someone off the internet 500 miles away? Have fun!"

USER123456 - AIBU

12 strange women are sitting in my garden. They’re drinking at 11am and impertinently approaching our family pets.

They don’t look terribly respectable, all giggly and covered in cat hair. They call each other peculiar code names. One of them is dripping blood after trying for a selfie with next door’s fat tomcat.

I’ve asked them to leave. They won’t. They’re insisting they’ve come by invitation from DH on some dodgy chat site and they feel like ‘we know and love him’. One of them says she’s a model!!! That’s the only bit I do believe, which as you can imagine doesn’t improve matters.

Worse, they’re here to discuss something to do with rubbish?! You couldn’t make it up.

DH left the house at dawn and isn’t answering his phone.

AIBU?

Feel free to come and me get Ivy and witness Betsy running away from you and hiding if you go through the Yorkshire area!

Loving User123456!

@MaybeHeIsMyCat are you sure that @Supersimkin2 hasn't relocated her neighbouring GAWB to your neighbourhood? Your latest NMC fits the description.

coastergirl · 14/01/2022 12:16

This is all hilarious 😂

@TheLongRider Clitheroe is lovely. I grew up not far away and went to sixth form in Clitheroe.

Ollie is peering outside all "mean kitty. Smacked mama"

Wanda has just spent 5 mins spinning in circles whilst holding her feathery wand toy by the end her human slave should rightly be holding and creating large feathery circles on the kitchen floor... wish I could upload the video I took... think chasing your tail but on steroids...

TalkedTooMuchStayedTooLong · 14/01/2022 17:03

She has now decided she needs cuddles and has climbed up me for snuggles and hair chewing! She doesn't take no for an answer either...

Is she the oriental? The No word means nothing to orientals, siameses, burmese, bengals 😭 “What the hell does No mean?”

Which is odd considering it’s the word the owners use most 😎

Yes 🤦‍♀️

So I am learning... although on the plus side, she is very good at coming when called and plays a great game of fetch (for hours!)... she does take a "no" in cat form, although that took a while to sink in too, and will give (mostly playful) Kipling peace if he hisses or (mostly silent and solitary) Sparky the same if she raises a paw warningly. They are, however, very patient with her to my surprise...
