So sad about Amos 😢

The idiot sisters have amazing tails!

Walter is following the Ollie method of heatwave survival. Lying as close to me as possible. Ffs.

I've prised him off me and aimed the fan at him so he's fast asleep now. Unlike me who is slowly melting

YesItsMeIDontCare · 19/07/2022 11:01

Leroy despises the fan. Won't even go in a room if it's on. Lies next to his cool mat too. In that massive black furry coat.

And you think Ollie's weird @PeloAddict 😂

PeloAddict · 19/07/2022 11:02

The plumber is here today as I've broken my shower screen. Ollie is chief supervisor of course, the plumber is a cat person Grin

YesItsMeIDontCare · 19/07/2022 11:34

I have 2 builders here today doing my bathroom. Leroy could not be less interested if he tried! I'm sure he's forgotten how to cat.

Bob the Builder has a new kitten 🥰

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/07/2022 12:24

He’s not trying to get you in his van is he?

Unfortunately he doesn't have the kitten with him.

@Supersimkin2 yep. I took some of Magic's human Piriton once as I needed an antihistamine and slept like a log!

Allergictoironing · 19/07/2022 21:38

First day at new job tomorrow - will be having a swig of Benylin before bed to ensure a good night's sleep 😸

Poor cats are still stretched out melting, despite it getting a LITTLE bit cooler this evening. Still showing as 35C in the house.

Allergic - Good luck with your first day 👍

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/07/2022 22:02

Good luck, at least you didn’t have to start today in this heat.

Papergirl1968 · 19/07/2022 22:22

Good luck, Allergic!

Supersimkin2 · 20/07/2022 01:09

Good luck Allergic!

Prince and I were just snuggling on the cool mats x4 on the bed when it kicked off here. Incursion from Ginger-and-white-Bastard who’s enjoying all the open windows. Yowling, bottlebrush tails, the works.

Defiantlynot41 · 20/07/2022 08:18

Good luck Allergic, hope your first day (and every day) goes well.

And thank you all for your good wishes, I'm touched.

Pelo, when things are a bit quieter here, I'll share the West Country version of ma bush, which has been the hiding place of choice for the cats in this hot weather

YesItsMeIDontCare · 20/07/2022 10:03

Good luck Allergic! Hope today's a good one and you can give us a run down of how it went later.

It's 22° here, cloudy and a slight breeze. Leroy's first daytime walk for a while. He's very impressed.

LostCats · 20/07/2022 10:14

Best wishes Allergic! I hope it’s going well!

Defiantly, I am so sorry about your news.

Eko doesn’t cat correctly. Went missing for both hot days and back when it slightly cooled.
Yesterday he was panting in the shade which freaked me out.
And then he let my son and I pour 2 buckets of water over him slowly while he lay there calmly! 😂he stopped panting after that and was happy

YetAnotherSpartacus · 20/07/2022 11:19

I'm gutted about Amos :(

All the best, Allergic!

Allergictoironing · 20/07/2022 18:52

First day survived, despite no air-con. Came home to be greeted by Girlcat almost flinging herself downstairs towards me, then she remembered I had to be punished for deserting them all day & turned her back on me. Boycat eventually slithered down the stairs then threw up frothy liquid with a few hairs in it by my feet. Having been sufficiently punished for leaving them all day, Boycat then welded himself to my leg on the sofa for half an hour to have belly rubs.

He must’ve been tray hot to let you do that @LostCats your user name is apt if he disappeared for two days!.

I can picture that @Allergictoironing “Mommy! Your home. COW, hating you” I’ve had the same response off Asbo.

LostCats · 20/07/2022 20:55

Hee hee. Yes. I was starting to worry after it got to the hottest part of yesterday.
he’s a strange soul. I think the Bengal in him is very strong. He is quite happy with water. If you spray him with the the hose it’s a ‘refreshing mist’.
we found out about his enjoyment of water when he was the one using the DC sprinkler and not them!
however One drop lands on Boone and he’s heading for the hills giving you daggers as he bolts.

Fluffycloudland77 · 21/07/2022 15:13

The allergic cats will be unhappy you’ve gone to work today again.

Puddy wanted my tuna so I gave her tuna which she then rejected. Maybe she’s used to Albacore? “Eeew, no I’m not eating smart price tuna. It’s ok for you human but not me”

Allergictoironing · 21/07/2022 17:34

Oh Boycat recognised the "getting ready for work" routine, and followed me round the house crying all morning. They'll get used to it - they have to if they want feeding & a roof over our heads!

Fluffycloudland77 · 21/07/2022 18:56

They need an only paws account to help out.

Dh is in hospital so Puddy is moping around not eating. Flagrant disregard for her routine.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 22/07/2022 09:12

Is everything OK, Fluffy? Flowers
