Pictures of Shady always cheer me up.

You don't need to be able to count to have the concept of "more,"

And I think we would all agree that cats certainly do have such a concept...

LostCats · 08/08/2023 08:35

Oh I completely agree. I always give Boone just a bit ‘more’ than Eko. Because I luffs him. But also because Eko eats literally everything he can find

Yes, I give Socks more treats than Matt because she's a skinny minnie and I can barely lift him.
So proud of my shy little girl because the dog has a habit of sniffing her when we go to bed and she's been politely turning her face away with a pained expression. Dog has continued so has been hissed at. Dog has persisted so last night got a smack around the face. 😂
Go girl. Now you just have to find the courage to stand up to Matt when he starts bullying you.

Woke up to this raspberry.

Linney! Magisterial in elegance and authority!

Darling Shady, makes everyone so happy. He’s a dote, which is what the Irish brilliantly call someone who everyone just loves.

TheShellBeach · 08/08/2023 11:38

..................or to have the concept of "more often" which Linney has developed in the last few weeks.

He now appears at my side, looking hopeful, and sitting very nicely, about four times a day.

And when Emerald was alive, when she came for treats, Linney would sit behind her (briefly) until she elbowed him out of the way, and he would slink off, discouraged.

It's no wonder she was so overweight, really. And I had to get up off my chair to follow Linney and give him his share of the treats, because he always walked off.

Socks should start a thread on MN about it.

"AIBU to think my buddy is a bully - should I smack him round the face - WWYD?"

Leroy seems to have the concept of "more... than" in the context of "Daddy gives me more Dreamies/Pickles/Pillows/Kittibix than Mummy does."

Still need a wheeled carrier for the fat bugger though 😁

Supersimkin2 · 08/08/2023 12:42

I love the idea of a wheeled carrier. We’ve got to get Havers to have his claws cut - only the finest London taxi will do.

Try the Ibiyaya range.

That exactly what Magic did to Cheddar!

Oh my life I so want to get a pushchair for him 🤣

The wheely backpack might be a more practical option though 😁

LostCats · 08/08/2023 14:42

All!! It’s International Cat Day!!

LostCats · 08/08/2023 14:43

Boone is celebrating by costing us an absolute fortune in meds and making it all worth it by snoring next to me all day.

Eko is off questing as usual 😆

LostCats · 08/08/2023 14:42

Is that why Linney is sitting by the front gate, miaowing loudly and insistently?
Is he trying to get Picard and Suzy (two NMCs) to come round for a party?

It only started after she lost her eye though. At first I thought it was because she couldn't see what was in front of her. But after a couple of times I decided she was being contrary.

Want2beme · 08/08/2023 15:24

I think he might be rehearsing for Halloween 🤔

Sweety! 😻😆

He looks pretty relaxed about the situation.

RumNotRun · 08/08/2023 18:26

Miss Raven has a cold and has lost her voice. She had this before a while ago and surprisingly got better before going to the vets instead of the usual getting better once the costs have been incurred. She is feeling very sorry for herself though and is being very cuddly.

My friend sent me this (hope it works). I bought some dummies for my tribe, ungrateful bastards have ignored them apart from when I coated the dummies in Lick-e-Lix
