So, this is Dcat’s food station. She’s almost 18 - age is sketchy, we adopted her as a stray but a very young cat.
Why is she so disdainful? She’s forgotten her roots!
She has a high food station because of “That Dog” (her words) who is a rescue that loves cats but will eat everything.

You are slacking.
No Pawsecco in a wineglass? Grin
(not my cat btw) What a lovely life she is having with you, I’m sure “that dog” is equally spoiled.

I love your wallpaper!

And you have impeccable taste in cats too.

My cat is spoilt rotten after the miserable start she had. She came from a home with dozens of cats, none neutered, so there was also dozens of kittens. She was 10, just skin and bone, never been out and had never used a litter tray. She 19 now with no teeth as they were rotten and had to he taken out, but she's a spoilt, much loved old lady now.

That's amazing, looks like a scene from a 70s sitcom! Grin She looks like a happy little old lady, enjoying her senior years with the tasty food 😋

Made me laugh my head off! The expression on her face as she proudly stands sentinel to a cornucopia of delights. And all framed by the most wonderful frolicking feline wallpaper I have ever seen! By the by, my cat eats from a bowl of biscuits all through the night, balanced on my pillow above my head. I kid you not! If I move it he pats my head with steely determination until I put it back.

Omg! That's the female version of our old boy! He would have loved a feeding station like that and his food was up high due to The Dog. Even the shouty face and her markings are him. He died last week and 19 1/2 years Sad

My 4 are arranged as follows: on the coffee table, on the arm of my chair, lounging on the sofa, and standing on the carpet with both front paws on a licked-clean dinner plate.

MiniLeopardInTheHouse · 28/01/2022 20:04

That wallpaper - wow.

FelicityBeedle · 28/01/2022 20:05

How did I not realise what the wallpaper was, amazing

My two obviously have designs on being gangsters.

Your cat's own feeding station - I love it! I love the wallpaper, too.

My old boy demands to be fed 4 times a day, let in/out whenever he feels like it, of course. He's usually asleep on this keyboard. All our internal doors are open, night and day, so he can go wherever he likes.

Grimupnoorth · 28/01/2022 20:10

Emma shipley wallpaper - thinking about the amazon one so great to see another one looking amazing! Our rule is the worse their start the more spoilt now to make up for it. (Or thats what we tell ourselves after we made a ramp up to our bed for him).
Youve got a lovely gal there who deserves to be adored - feeding station is lovely and totally normal in a cat house! Lovely to see Xx

caringcarer · 28/01/2022 20:12

My kitties get very cross if the underfloor heating is not left on for them overnight.

Snooks1971 · 28/01/2022 20:13

The thing is, she’s so predictable, loves something one day so I scour the shops for it - then she’s like… no, that won’t do at all. Confused

Mines got me feeding her on the bed. The floors too cold for her paws apparently.

Yes Emma J Shipley wallpaper well spotted! She is I agree totally adored, we adopted her as a weeny scruffy stray when our first son was about 6 months.

She’s seen out 2 other rescue dogs and a few house moves. ❤️

I adopted a stray cat years 30 ago when I was in my 20s, all her teeth had to be removed, the smell was unbearable 😷 I was earning nowt and went into debt for it. Never regretted it. Lovely to hear @tillytoodles1

@Snooks1971 - oh yes, Changes is notorious for his mucky paws! His brother, Jazzy is more refined.

ELCismyspiritnana · 28/01/2022 20:29

He is SO your cat. Just admit defeat already! Grin

I think that’s normal. I bet the floor is freezing 😂
