Cats used to be worshiped as Gods...

... 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

Shady's got his knees under the table already.

Oh Shady, you know you are on to a good thing! Happy gotcha day!

yey!!

and I can finally use my line from Eminem:

’will the real Slim Shady please stand up’

I‘ll go now 🤣🤣🤣

Cheddar was also like that!

What a furry eared sweet heart 😍

Oh I'm so glad you got Shady!
He's very laid back, isn't he.

Lovely to see him so at home.

He's had some food, a wee and tested out my bed

Oh wow! He’s on the bed already? That’s absolutely amazing!

He says of course! There is a standard to keep up with settling in quickly

My prediction was right!

So happy to hear that Shady is settling in and making his presence known.

You know when you think "Oh lets treat the cats to one of those obscenely huge cats towers " , it arrives , you assemble it and it takes up half of your bloody lounge .
So you think "why don't we dis-assemble it...."

Then the House Panther Godess decides she likes looking down at us from a lofty height and takes up permenant residence (apart from breakfast/dinnner/Dreamies and litter tray visits )

<<Disclaimer - dis-assemble after it was ignored for over 2 years >>

I'm glad Shady is feeling comfortable in his new home. Let us know what Paws thinks when they meet each other, Shady looks like he'll be able to keep Paws in line.

He's not as big as they thought. Well I mean he is big but not heavy! 6kg

Exactly Boycat sized 😁

(Dammit I miss that cat so much still)

I think 6kg is heavy - Basil sized 👍

Our boy was 4.4kg at one Vet appointment , he asked "does he finish his sisters dinnner?" which is Vet Speak for "Who ate all the pies" ?

MaleCat was just over 4kg last check so obviously felt ver' ver' fat shamed and muttered about Horses Heads on Beds .

He thinks everything is to his satisfaction so far

He looks very at home already!

That's like me trying to kid myself I'm just big boned, Lana! 😂

Is Shady missing his Evil Twin ?

6kg doesn't always mean fat - Boycat was just very long and quite tall. Plus I think over 0.5kg of that was his tail - again very thin but LONG. His condition used to be deemed "perfect" at his MoTs.

And at Girlcat's MoT on Monday the vet said she isn't fat at all at 4.9kg.

0I, on the other hand, am just plain fat 😆

Fully agreed about 6kg not necessarily meaning fat.
We've had some quite large (6kg plus) cats over the years but only ever had one fatty. My first black cat was a bit of a barrel with legs, his head and tail really weren't big enough to match his belly. Head first in a pint mug was not unusual for him 😹

Toad has decided he is a very speshul cat who shouldn't have to drink boring water but should drink my squash instead

If we're having a round of black cats, here is Toby.

One of my DD's late cats. He was actually the first cat we ever had in our family, so he was the template for me IYSWIM.

I loved that cat. He taught me to love all cats.
