There has been a lot of sadness on the LT recently, with the loss of several old friends. So post a picture of your cats and your favourite story about them. Mine aren't very dynamic so don't actually get up to mischief, but do run up huge vets bills. Looking at you Magic!

Let's have a happy thread. Show me your kitties.

What gorgeous cat pics.

Here's my Bobbi helping me celebrate the coronation.

Here’s my darling girl Strawberry from Battersea - I’ve had her for a year and she is the grand old age of 12! I’m sure she thinks she’s still a kitten…

This pair of trouble makers are currently sulking in their cones of shame after being spayed last week!

@blueblueelectricblue28 Strawberry is gorgeous! I do love a long haired Tortie. Had a darling Tortie and white when I was growing up. The most gentle cat I have ever known who didn't have an ounce of the Tortie naughtiness in her.

She lived until she was 20 so hopefully you have many more years with your gorgeous girl.

Thank you! I very much hope we’ll make it to 20.
she’s so gentle, not a hint of “tortitude” and follows me around like a shadow. I’ve a real soft spot for long haired Torties and calicos!

@FlossieF Gorgeous.

She doesn't have to get up if she doesn't want to.

Basil, my husbands emotional support cat. He’s a real ray of sunshine though he’s also a cat of very little brain.

Teddy and Ivy, Ivy is the fat black cat and she absolutely detests Teddy. He just wants to play with her but she's having none of it! 😂

This is Sparrow, the smallest cat in the world and a prolific mouser despite a lack of teeth. We take him with us when we go away for the weekend so he can live his best life 🤩

RumNotRun · 31/05/2023 22:12

Fred was exhausted after a long day of napping and hiding from my friend who came round. My friend was here for about 2 hours, out in the garden for almost all of the time but Fred still stayed hidden (or in a portal to another dimension)

What a lovely idea, I'm sorry to hear of the sad losses. I posted under another name last year asking for help with names for our two tabby kittens.
Sadly we lost Mildred beginning of the year. She had emergency surgery for a blockage but didn't pull through. Her sister, Maud, really missed her. Her behaviour changed, she became quiet and lost her playfulness. As she was only 10 months old we decided to find her a new friend quite quickly. We spoke to the rescue we had got her from and a week or so later she contacted us about a potential cat. She had been found as a stray and was about 8 months old. We went to see her and I fell head over heels in love. She wrapped herself round my neck and gave me do many nose kisses.
Margot has been with us for about 6 months now. She is the friendliest cat I have ever met, so soft, very ditzy and has the longest, but shiest tail. Her paws are huge, I think she's going to be a big cat. After just a couple of days Maud started to play with her and now Margot has become her not so little shadow.

This is one of the nicest photos I've ever seen!

As kittens in an animal shelter in Sau Paulo, then 6 years on; as close as ever.

This also melts my heart!

Dilbertian · 31/05/2023 22:18

Why does a white cat insist on lying on the muddy patches?

fetchacloth · 31/05/2023 22:45

Mine, he loves following me around the house.

kittielittie · 31/05/2023 22:51

This is Eric. He's 6 months old and absolutely adored. He fell in the children's paddling pool the other day having mooched up the slide and slipping in. I have to say I was very amused! He recovered relatively quickly but was well pissed off for a while.

kittielittie · 31/05/2023 22:52

And here's his cousin Ernie who comes to us in a couple of weeks. Look at those blue eyes!

The app won't let me post a picture of Ernie. I'll try again tomorrow. He's worth it!
