Quite right. Respect will always be due.

I’m on the terrace with Havelock and Bobby both ‘casually sunbathing’. A centimetre from the cheese plate.

Fluffycloudland77 · 18/03/2022 14:38

Cheese thefts ARE a problem though, it’s a good idea to watch the cheese.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/03/2022 14:52

It is very very stupid for any human to leave cheese or butter in close proximity to Sybil...

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/03/2022 15:38

Would anyone care to guess who is lurking out of shot, behind the door?

@Fluffycloudland77 our tiny 2.8kg DCat thought her luck was in when this birdie paid a visit

Oh the glory and beauty that is Sybil. She looks in fine form there, awaiting the arrival of her suitor with her cousin's chaparoning her.

Fluffycloudland77 · 18/03/2022 17:54

Talk about eyes bigger than your belly @Defiantly41.

I’ve ballsed up the cat litter order, by forgetting to order any, and now I have to go and sieve her old wood chip litter for the bits that are ok to use.

We only have one sieve 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is why I didn’t have kids. This and not wanting them.

Will do my best to get a pic of Matt this weekend especially for Lana. He and Socks are currently galloping around upstairs. Hmm

HouseofHolbein · 18/03/2022 21:48

Morticia is snuggled up with me 💕 she normally wails to go in with Victoria but waits until she is asleep to start iyswim. Poor kid is in the middle of a run of 8 5am starts so she needs her sleep

Prawn toasty.

It’s 2am. I’ve just had to borrow Dreamies from Havelock due to Capns ferocious appetite. He gives me the fear by starving for two days then goes all-you-can-eat-buffet.

Havelock pretty grudging but I did ears ‘n’ chin for hours. now they’ve had half a pack each so hoping for some sleep here.

In vain. It’s now 230 and Capn is still angrily scenting me after I came back to bed whiffing of another man. Eyes narrowed to slits, paws a little bit slicy. Head rubs are frenzied.

I’ll pick up savlon with the cat foods tomorrow.

Allergictoironing · 19/03/2022 07:03

I found Germolene cream better than Savlon, has a very mild numbing effect.

Work today, alarm set for 7:30am, so of course I woke up at 5:50 and unable to get back to sleep. Cats slightly confused at the early hour, and Girlcat in my bad books as she was curled up on the only seat in the house that's mine. I don't mind the shedding there, just that both of them seem to think it's the proper place to shift hairballs (or hair soup in Boycat's case).

Supersimkin2 · 19/03/2022 10:35

Bad luck Allergic. ‘The only seat in the house that’s mine’ = definition of love.

It’s absolutely fair enough you have one personal chair. And spoon and plate.

Want2beme · 19/03/2022 11:03

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats, I wonder, who might that be?!Hmm

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 19/03/2022 14:06

If there's any doubt, my question was of course purely rhetorical. The improved weather has made the stripey one become (if possible) even more omnipresent than usual. He's camped outside the back door as I speak.

Supersimkin2 · 19/03/2022 18:07

At least he’s not nipped into your side of the bed with Mrs G.

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/03/2022 20:51

I suspect Mrs G despairs of the whole situation. Giving him dreamies would’ve been my peak TC moment.

I can hear Puddy being groomed, I think she’s winning.

Supersimkin2 · 19/03/2022 21:22

I reckon Mrs G’s battling a terrible secret shame. Despite herself, she somehow seems to leave a pack of OMO on the windowsill on sunny afternoons.

Anyone want a toothless black NOISY cat? He has been whinging ALL day

The vet said the noise is so much like a hypothyroid cat but his thyroid is perfect therefore he is just... noisy HmmConfused

Queen I'll swap you! For a cow-print arsehole. He's driving me crazy.

pawpaws2022 · 19/03/2022 22:52

Grin I ended up shutting Ollie outside for ten minutes and he's all "sorry mama" at me now
