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

If he has balls and he’s spraying he’s a full Tom. Unlikely he’s chipped unless the a rescue did it and he’s still registered to the rescue.

TCN on here has a way of getting cats out in carriers for a better life disguised as large birthday presents.

i have a top opening cat carrier, and several extremely large uncrushed cardboard boxes out the back awaiting space in the recycling bins...

The stars are aligning.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes.
That is awful@NewBootsAndRanty . He sounds unhinged. Be careful.
And I agree some people definitely shouldn't have pets.

Grr.
Effing people.

I really don't understand his resistance to sorting it out - he's been living with fleas for a year in his flat which can't be comfortable for him.
My support worker has also offered to call the RSPCA; I've said it's fine to do that but not to expect anything to happen.

One of my neighbours further down the street has a tendancy to sort strays out with neutering etc, so I could just try blame her.

The first time I met Shadow, it was after he'd got out and disappeared - my neighbour asked me seriously if I'd stolen him and then found him in a bush shouting - all suspicion will fall on me if he goes anywhere.

Grumpy -you don’t think your insurers are on MN by any chance? The TC saga would send premiums soaring.

Oh bugger - could explain a few things And the car insurance too with risk of roof damage 🤣

Yeah, they probably wouldn't let you claim for Breaking & Entering or theft (from kitchen).

Shady has found a new fave spot. Chin rest, good view and he can chatter at the birds and lie next to me

He’s a smart cookie. Darling Shady.

Most impressed with Shady's ability to move in and immediately run the place.

It's like he always been here
He is doing many Ollie like things such as
Telling me paws is here
Stopping paws from coming in
Sniffing paws bum
Looking horrified at paws
Paddling in the shower
Sitting behind a door then looking offended when it opens on his head
Refusing to go outside when there is a human to gaze at

But then he's also different and I love that so much

I love the videos on Facebook of Shady playing fetch, @bonfirebash He does indeed look in charge. Sorry, I mean very settled!

Dammit why do I never have my phone on me for the cutest sights?

Tobias and Girlcat on either side of his breakfast both eating out of the same bowl, heads side by side. Absolutely adorable. And the way she's tucking in to it, looks like I don't have to buy 2 different types of pouches any more 😀

Awwww. Shady sounds perfect for you, @bonfirebash! How is Paws reacting to his new flatmate?

@Allergictoironing, that's wonderful to hear. Tobias is settling in and Girlcat has a new companion.

They don't seem too fussed!

Ahh Bonfire that’s so wonderful to see!

And Allergic, how lovely that they are getting on so well. Well done!!

Paper, I am sorry for the difficulty you’re going through. I really do hope it settles soon.

Very pleased that Shady and Tobias are clearly getting on with their feline friends.
@Papergirl1968, I can't offer any advice I'm afraid, but please accept my best best wishes and I hope things improve for your daughter and her baby soon.

That's such a great photo of Shady and Paws.

@Allergictoironing that's great news! Especially with the food

Shady doesn't seem bothered he's just "hello human? That other cat is here and wants to come in"

Hot off the press - Mrs Grumpy has just found mousey (RIP) in a shopping bag, (apparently smelling absolutely vile 🤮)

That's great about Shady's sang froid with regards to Paws. I was a little concerned that there would be some conflict but Shady and Paws seem to have an understanding.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats C'mon Sybil, Basil, Lenny and Karl - you need to earn your keep!

Poor mousey and poor Mrs Grumpy!
Thanks for the support everyone. You are all so lovely ❤

Ugh.

You're all going to think I'm mad, but my eyes filled with tears when I read Allergic's post about Tobias and Girlcat sharing a bowl of food.
