What is your cat doing at the moment?

Dh and I are tucked up under a blanket and one of our dcat is adding to her 18hr Zzz. Other one has come in from outside soaked and looking at me as if it were me that turned the sky taps on.

Attacking me for no reason. My partner (his Dad) is stopping him from going for me by playing red dot. It's not my fault the cat didn't want to go out today and is now bored.

Hiding under the sofa. She's an old long haired, quite chubby, ladycat and I need to grab her and give her a clip around the nether regions. She's not able to reach them very well anymore so I have the unenviable task of clipping away the poo nuggets. She knows I'm after her and consequently is keeping out of my way.

Sleeping in her bed

Princess Boudi is currently sulking because she stole Simba's food and it gave her a runny tummy and she has just had prokolin.

Simba just sumped off the windowsill as I was typing and has left the living room, probably to go and sleep on DDs bed.

sky taps

Mine's cuddled up on my other halfs lap, she hates all men except him

Crunching his nails the sound is quite grim

Tabby: sleeping
Spats: sleeping
Buttonboots: sleeping

Same old, same old.

Sitting on my lap purring; in her ideal world she would spend 23 out of every 24 hours like this

Mine like to do this around 1am, if it's not that it's licking themselves so much they make a slurping sound. Hate it, goes on for ages.

One has just had Dreamies and is hanging round in hopes of more. The other is glaring at me from the opposite sofa - he's not allowed treats because he needs to lose weight.

Hellocatshome · 09/03/2022 19:54

The two girls are asleep on DH's knee, the boy is sleeping next to me. This is where they are 99% of the time on an evening after we have had our tea. They wait for us to sit down and then assume their positions for the night.

Poor puss. I wouldn’t be able to resist giving him one or two dreamies or his low fat treats.
ClariceQuiff · 09/03/2022 20:04

He has the odd one, Soubriquet. He takes after his female human - i.e. me - in that he puts weight on very easily Sad whereas girl cat is like my husband and can eat any old rubbish and stay slim.

CosmicComfort · 09/03/2022 20:14

Dcat is lying on the Pouffe by my feet. That’s as close as she gets. Feels like a visit from the Queen when she gets that close.

And bizarrely she likes to lie on bits of paper so my crochet pattern is under her🤣🤣🤣

Curled up in the corner of the lounge next to the plant pot

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 09/03/2022 20:20

He's right here on the sofa next to me.

Our boy is sitting on my knee and his sister is on the floor in the spare room just on the bit where the hot water pipes go to the radiator. He is contemplating moving to the chair near the fire which I've just lit

Mine is lying on top of the covers by my hip, fast asleep. She will stay here until about midnight when she will disappear into the spare bedroom and sleep and some weekend bags stored under the spare bed despite there being a perfectly nice, new comfortable cat bed for her by the radiator.

Allergictoironing · 09/03/2022 23:18

Boycat is curled up in a ball on my bed, where he will remain until I go up there with bed time Dreamies. Girlcat is occupying the back of the sofa, trying to tell me she hasn't had her cuddle on there yet tonight. The fact I gave her cuddles there until my back started screaming isn't here nor there...

When I do go up, Boycat will eat his Dreamies then assume The Position for belly rubs (see photo)

Featuredcreature · 09/03/2022 23:42

Yowling because she is in heat, a friend gave her to me and I can't afford to get her neutered Sad fml.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 10/03/2022 09:35

@thecatneuterer might have ideas too.

One of mine is asleep next to me. I am working hunched on my sofa because if I sit in my comfy ergonomic chair he yowls.

The other is patrolling to make sure that all is in order.
