Cats used to be worshiped as Gods...

[Allergictoironing]

... by the ancient Egyptians and according to the late, great Terry Pratchett, have never forgotten. Neither should we.

Next thread in the general chat about Life, The Universe, Everything and most importantly, CATS

I enjoyed the bling but was hoping for a more rousing Zadok the Priest.

Ah, but the I Was Glad (with Vivats) was splendiferous.

I am going to put it on the memory key for the car.

The gospel Alleluia did it for me. And Penny Mordaunt’s splendiferous garb. So impressed she flatly refused to wear rusty 18c breeches and blew the abbey roof off with a new cape dress.

Yes, I enjoyed most of the music, except from the Byrd. I've never been keen on early music like that.
I loved the gospel choir.

I'm the opposite. Loved the old stuff (the chant in Greek was amazing) and found something else to do during the gospel choir :)

It's fair to say I'm not exactly an enthusiastic supporter of the monarchy, but Mrs Grumpy fancied watching so I watched till I got bored and then did a deep clean of the kitchen instead 🤣.
Loved the Byrd, enjoyed all the music except the dreadful Andrew Lloyd Wenber pap.
Best part was the presentation of the bracelet of sincerity and wisdom. Thought I'd fallen into a Monty Python shaped hole.
Anyway I'm probably in trouble now. I accidentally misgendered Charles today during the singing of the national anthem at church. Send 'her' victorious indeed? Oops.

I’m not a royalist either but I love ritual, ceremony and bling. I also felt a twinge of the Pythons or Blackadder mixed with Dungeons and Dragons. The papist was a nice inclusion in his Spanish Inquisition robes.

We’ve all been fruitful as anything.

I loved all the non C of E priests and rabbis grinning as they got a chance to have a go preaching in Westminster Abbey. Justin Welby must have been on tea urn duty in the vestry till dawn this morning with all the gossip.

Well I would have liked to watch the concert but Matt has other ideas...

A truly right and proper celebration of National Tabby Week 🍾

Darling Matt is 👑 of my heart.

The grated cheese I dropped earlier here vanished while I napped. Havelock has not called round this evening.

Linney is always standing in front of the telly. It's maddening.

Thank you, Lana. Matt is most grateful to his loyal subject. 😂
Cats! Gotta love them for ability to cause maximum disruption...

Asbo used to sit on top of the flatscreen as it wobbled precariously and dh said in his bestest sternest voice “get down” while Asbo pretended he didn’t speak English.

Asbo was a master of international negotiation communication skills.

I’m officially feeding Havelock this week. I laid a platter of Sheba out for him in his house at 640pm precisely. Got furry leg rub in acknowledgment, dish emptied.

He rushed through my back door wailing with hunger at 640pm precisely.

It’s like eating a pasty in the car after the weekly shop, calories in his house don’t count & you'll definitely have forgotten feeding him by the time he makes it to your kitchen because your just a human.

Always enjoy tales of Matt, Havelock and Asbo. 👍
Sybil used to do the 'look at me, I'm walking across the top of the TV' too.
Unimpressed with her today - found a box to use to send off a parcel. Of course she immediately had other ideas. She's currently turning round trying to get comfy but I've already told her that the box is TOO BLOODY SMALL

Ooh, post her to me pleas Grumpy!

I would, but I can't get the box lid down 😹.
Had to find another box for the parcel...

Failing as a cat slave again I see Grumpy - WHY haven't you supplied her with a perfectly sized box???

Now I've packed the parcel she's moved to another box. Better? 😹

She’s worth missing the post for Grumpy. Such a beauty.

Both cats here asleep, crammed with chicken. Taking the chance to nap while cats nap. Good policy.

I really, really would not want to be on the wrong side of Sybil.

Hi, I have 4 who are all worshipped as Gods of one sort or another. The black one is the Goddess of Goddesses. The ginger one is the Goddess of the Single Braincell aka "for cute read stupid". The b/w boys are Gods of, well, who knows what, for dim cats they are very very very. But lovely and affectionate, but oh so Very very......

We do adore the lot of them.

Photos Jux! Photos!!!

Another Cat In A Box (which she doesn't fit into)

They look so uncomfortable but they will do it.

Here is McVicar, having stuffed herself into a cat food box.
