Just adding my condolences for the sad loss of Cap'n Sad

coastergirl · 29/05/2022 19:04

Cap'n 😢 I still can't quite believe it.

OrangeBlossom28 · 29/05/2022 19:28

So sorry about your beautiful floof Cap'n

Supersimkin2 · 29/05/2022 21:28

Thanks so much Allergic. And to you both for your condolences. Am wrapped in our duvet now, hoping for a bit of ginger fur to make its way onto my pjs.

hope everyone had a good weekend. Socks must be so pleased with herself.

If you find some fur Super, keep it safe. You can have jewellery made with strands of fur. I have some of Harley's fur still and I really want to do it. Not cheap though.

Sending you love ❤️

Yes, I’ve got a huge kissable clump of apricot fur - saved it after he had a wash (rare)! It was brilliant for stuffing felt Xmas decorations of my aunt’s dogs 😄 Now it’s in the Jewellery box.

Also got Capn’s last whisker (always save whiskers) in a locket round my neck.

I also have Mr C’s whisker saved. When the cost of cloning goes down…

Fluffycloudland77 · 30/05/2022 16:14

Cost of cloning is ridiculous. Don’t they want us to clone them?

Mumsnet have informed me that the pictures are now fixed 😼
Random Sybil pic (sleeping on our record deck) as a test.

Sybil has a flooftastic butt!!!

Supersimkin2 · 30/05/2022 19:14

No butts it’s got to be butter-wouldn’t-melt adorable. 😀 She always is.

I couldn’t agree more re cloning Fluffy. £10k?!? I expect TC’s owners are sick of sending off a strongly-worded letter to the Dept of Agriculture. For just one helpless kitten.

Maybe a petition would do the trick. Grumpy can take it round the neighbours. ‘GIVE 10,000 TCs THEIR CHANCE TO LIVE.’

The place I used is really reasonable and she's lovely

I paid about £100 for my three rings

Oh, Oh that’s LOVELY 🥰

I reckon Capn would have cloned me a few times in case he had extra needs. Mind you even if I was asleep he always got me up to do what he fancied.

TheLongRider · 30/05/2022 20:02

Your rings are beautiful. That's a really nice way of keeping them close.

Fluffycloudland77 · 30/05/2022 20:34

It was £25k for cloning when Bertie died.

Supersimkin2 · 31/05/2022 10:13

No offence Fluffy, they might have a ‘bespoke’ price list for Bengals. CITES convention for animals who need restraint and all that.

It’s 9k for a dachshund.

I interviewed the bloke who cloned Dolly the Sheep! He called her ‘it’ and didn’t say what her favourite snack was!!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 31/05/2022 11:09

Still terrified by the idea of 10,000 marauding TC's 🙀

I'm not keen on the idea of cloning pets, but I did very half heartedly consider having my old boy Monty taxidermied. Fortunately common sense and good taste prevailed!

YesItsMeIDontCare · 31/05/2022 12:44

I missed my old boy Harley so much I spent about £250 on a Cuddle Clone.

It really does look like him, but still like a toy so it's not creepy, iyswim.

Allergictoironing · 31/05/2022 20:26

Look what my friend brought home a couple of weeks ago!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 31/05/2022 21:18

FWK (friend with kittens)

Best type of friend 😹

Fluffycloudland77 · 31/05/2022 21:36

Aww, look how their using their cat tower!

Allergictoironing · 01/06/2022 09:08

He was very lucky to get both. When he went to look at them (mate of his DD) there was technically only the tabby left. But once the owner saw the behaviors of experienced cat slaves, she returned the deposit for the ginger and FWK got him too.

Sadly for me, he lives about 120 miles away 😟 so can't really visit right now due to petrol costs.

@Allergictoironing They are so gorgeous!

YesItsMeIDontCare · 01/06/2022 10:22

I have that cat tower! How on earth did they get up there? It's not big, but it's certainly not kitten sized 😁
