She took a shine to the Heating engineer doing the boiler service. And is considering a new career.

The last person who did my cat service had a cat allergy and spent the whole time sneezing and with runny eyes. He said he was never coming to my house again!

She has a new career, supervising the engineer 😍😁She's gorgeous

007DoubleOSeven · 09/02/2023 17:41

He was absolutely amazed, that she responded to him when he spoke to her. And she was demanding tummy tickles from him. He thought she is really cute. My sister (who tells everyone that she's the ugliest cat in the world) suggested I get someone else as he must be partially sighted. (She loves her really!)

Cheddar is definitely mogsplaining to him in that first photo "No, that's not where that part goes!"

My dd said cheddar is the cutest cat in the world and I agree although I do think my cat is very pretty 😁

That made me laugh out loud. She's very good at Mogsplaining. She has an opinion on everything!
@teaandtoastwithmarmite your daub has excellent taste.

Oh cheddar is fab. Haha he looks like he is an apprentice and learning the job by observing.

Eastereggsboxedupready · 09/02/2023 20:13

Hope he didn't get too close... Melted Cheddar isn't pleasant!

Toddlerteaplease · 09/02/2023 21:46

Cheddar asks me to inform her fab club that she is a girl!

I always look forward to Cheddar updates (I name change often) 😁

It's her massive eyes and cute chin that do it for me.

I also want to squish those cheeks.

Clarich007 · 10/02/2023 09:24

That little face!! I too love your updates about Cheddar and Magic.. What a fab name for a cat 😻

Eastereggsboxedupready · 10/02/2023 09:26

Nobody should assume anything these days!!

@Gingerkittykat cat service? 😹

Toddlerteaplease · 10/02/2023 10:04

@Clarich007 I wish I could take credit for the name. But she came with it, when I registered her micro chip to my address . I discovered her name is actually mini Cheddar. (I changed that bit).

Aww, I bet cats usually scarper from him, I know mine would.

Asbo would observe from a distance but refuse to have anything to do with them.

Toddlerteaplease · 10/02/2023 12:04

He was so surprised that a cat could be so friendly.

Mini Cheddar is an awesome name for a cat Grin

It’s nice to see friendly cats. My cat loves her people…but strangers and she’s gone

Toddlerteaplease · 10/02/2023 22:34

Cheddar was watching tv with me when the new advert for mini cheddars came on. She was not sure about it!

MrsMoastyToasty · 10/02/2023 23:21

I expect she is saying "Hooman this is my place to lay down and warm my belly. Ger-out!"

Balanchine has now reached the point where he is more likely than not to supervise the work of visitors to the house. Nijinsky might observe from a considerable distance; or if he is feeling Very Brave (& the human in question has Good Vibes) will put in an appearance. Balanchine was quite shamelessly demanding fusses from a nurse I’d out to see me on Wednesday though. It is mostly HCPs they see; & there would be definite advantages to a bit of feline CPD in that area 🤔 (I attach pictures of them continuing their examination of my wheelchair last year, after forgotten!pushrims were fitted. Balanchine had been keen to assist in said process while Nijinsky supervised from stairs à la lurking Batman; but once the tech was gone they were both straight in to check his work 😸)

I particularly love the photo of Cheddar where she seems to be trying to hypnotise the observer &/or communicate telepathically. She has a sweet wee face 😻

Good old cheddar! I too look forward to the updates on her antics.

Do you have another cat also?

Toddlerteaplease · 11/02/2023 11:34

@Babyloniaroma yes I have another Persian. Called Magic. She's black so really difficult to take good pictures of. And doesn't have such a strong personality as Cheddar. But she's definitely the one in charge.

What a pair! I can see why you say Magic is in charge, she does look a bit schoolmarm-ish in the photo, whereas Cheddar looks as if she's about to do something a bit cheeky.
