Yes but each kitten is really only half a cat...

Biscuit looks like an absolute sweetie btw 👍

This is a very valid point!

Shady wants my biscuit

That paw looks ready to swipe!

bonfirebash · 17/07/2023 14:38

He's already swiped me for stopping kissing his head

RumNotRun · 17/07/2023 15:34

This is not a trap. This belly is free for smooches and tickles and general worshipping.

TUMBO BINGO!!! Magnificent.

Shady is having a lovely day.

@coastergirl
I'm nervous to ask - but is it you who has reserved Biscuit?

TheShellBeach · 17/07/2023 19:28

Linney has had a very tiring day.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats unfortunately it is not. I wasn't fast enough.

nettie434 · 17/07/2023 23:53

Linney and RumNotRun's cat look like entrants for the White Cat Appreciation Day Award. I don't know if there actually is an appreciation day for white cats but there's definitely one for black cats, so why not have one for white cats too. Every colour cat should have their own official day!

Girlcat would do OK out of that.

Clearly a black cat to anyone who sees her.
Look closely when the light is just right, and you can see she's charcoal tabby, at least on the head, legs and tail.
Part her coat, or shave her, and she's silvery white under the black nose to tail.

Sorry about that Coaster - keep looking.
, there's a kitten or two out there for you 🐈.
Poor Doris (belonging to FWK) has been struggling this summer, as she's been showing signs of going on heat every three weeks or so. Been for tests (ultrasound) and has come back with two bald patches, one on each side. Bloods next apparently.

Poor Doris!

I thought your FWK had had them "done"? There's a slight chance a tiny bit of tissue was left behind which is doing the hormonal stuff.

Yes - both Doris and Cedric are spayed.
And yes - the assumption is that something was left behind when Doris had the OP.

LostCats · 18/07/2023 08:30

Poor Doris. That sounds horrid

Florissante · 18/07/2023 08:46

Poor Doris. I hope the problem is soon resolved.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/07/2023 10:07

Thanks all - I've passed on your sympathy to FWK. She is expecting the vet to confirm at the end of the week, but the likelihood is that Doris will need another op to remove anything missed the first time. 😿

Supersimkin2 · 18/07/2023 12:01

Hope little Doris feels better after the op. Nasty for her.

Havelock was resting on the sofa and Prince sniffed his tail. Havelock hissed!!!!
Prince chased him out.

Am very upset as I think little Prince just wanted to sit next to H.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 18/07/2023 14:20

Pants. DH has cancer. Leroy gives zero fucks and demanded that DH break out the laser dot. DH complied - obvs.

Sweetpea1532 · 18/07/2023 16:00

@Shallysally
Your little Miss looks like she's full of mischief 😸 very adorable, and I'm sure she keeps your life from becoming boring

Defiantlynot41 · 18/07/2023 16:12

Oh I am so sorry @YesItsMeIDontCare. You can count on the support of the ladies of the litter tray (and Grumpy) so please come here to shout, scream or say the things you can't say otherwise. All good wishes to your DH and strength to you both.

RumNotRun · 18/07/2023 18:07

@YesItsMeIDontCare sorry to hear the news. Hope you and your husband are ok, and that things go well. Leroy is clearly just trying to take your mind off things (or he's being an asshole like most cats!)

nettie434 · 18/07/2023 18:28

I am so sorry about your news, YesItsMeIDontCare. Leroy was probably trying to take his mind off things. Hoping it's treatable and something you can get through.
