Fred says hi and he'd like to play too if Leroy and Shady don't mind playing with a white cat.

Fred fits with the colour scheme.

Thank you, thank you, cats of the litter tray and their slaves.

My stresses are easing, and they have eased even more reading and seeing the recent doings of you all.

PS Has anyone come across Cats' ABC by Beverley Nichols? My great-aunt gave me it long ago when I was a child, and I recently rebought it for myself off Amazon? It's a delightful book.

Supersimkin2 · 31/07/2023 23:15

Fred is such a beauty. Prince would be delighted to accept.

RumNotRun · 31/07/2023 23:26

Fred is a scaredy cat but only with people. Toad can be too rough with him so he needs new playmates. His litter brother Frankenstein doesn't do playing or wrestling much to Fred's disgust.

Leroy would be very happy to host Fred. He has lots of catnip toys to share, several packets of dried 'nip and valerian , a packet of silvervine sticks and 2 large catnip bushes.

Theres also a large box of Dreamies, Pickles, Pillows and Kittybix.

He will not share his Mousies though. Soz.

Walter's on his way to Leroy's digs to get stoned.

We'll see him at 4:20 then... 🙊😂

@YesItsMeIDontCare I'm trying to work out if 4.20 is a reference to something!

The size of Shady on that pic!

I'll look that out, thanks.
I can also recommend A Cat Called Birmingham by Chris Pascoe, and its sequel (the name of which I can't recall ATM - thanks, ageing).

I'd like to recommend "I could pee on this".

It's a reference to smoking weed I think. Something about the time, I dunno. I know* places in the USA have swapped 420 mile markers with 419.99 'cause they got nicked or summat. 🙄

(* I've seen it on t'internet so probably utter bollox)

coastergirl · 01/08/2023 13:56

Ah right 😂 Way over my head, as usual.

Currently in a state of panic. Can't find Benny 😢

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/08/2023 14:13

I thought you’d charted the distance from A to B and then worked out the time it would take for him to arrive at the average pace of a cat.

Florissante · 01/08/2023 14:24

Benny! Stop worrying your mum.

TheShellBeach · 01/08/2023 15:15

Have you found Benny yet?

My heart. They're both spark out

Little monkey must have squeezed through a tiny hole at the corner of my 4yo's mattress to get through to the drawer underneath! Fast asleep on a pile of school uniform in a drawer I thought he couldn't get into 😂

Off to check for grey hairs

Florissante · 01/08/2023 17:13

What news of Doris, @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats ?

Florissante · 01/08/2023 17:14

Benny! Be good.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 01/08/2023 17:23

Vet has confirmed that there is some ovarian tissue left behind. FWK is waiting for the vet to confirm next steps (although expected to be another op to finish the job 😿)
The only good news is that she hasn't gone back on heat recently.

Yamadori · 01/08/2023 17:37

Another book recommendation - The Unadulterated Cat by Terry Pratchett.
