Our excellent, slightly dim but extremely happy Spots and Stripes, Eko.
And Dr Boone the black cat who is both DH and my ‘soul cat’. The love of our lives but who isn’t terribly well so every day is precious.

The idiot sisters in bonnets are back! The combined expressions of outrage and resignation cracks me up every time 😂
I'm sorry to hear about Boone, @LostCats They're both beautiful x

Agatha snoozing in her favourite plant pot.

And lounging on one of her many acquired beds.

Ruby age 13 being all weird while recovering from being sedated (had something in her throat). DS used this as a warning to kids not to do drugs.

I have an album of the bonnet photos 🤣🤣 I send it to people to cheer them up 🤣🤣

Would like to get someone clever to photoshop the three of them together and turn it into a picture for my wall 😭😭

Totally envisioning something like this @HouseofHolbein

Some fantastic photos here. The idiot sisters in bonnets always make me smile! How lovely that Tobias and Girlcat are getting on so well, Allergic, and Shady and Paws too Bonfirebash.

@Papergirl1968 he says no, it's actually a terribly empty tummy that can only be filled with Dreamies!

Here's a better picture of our one-eyed wonder:

Oh Allergic, that's so so sweet - what progress!

LostCats · 27/06/2023 08:17

@Peanutmeg I am extremely amused by the ‘terrible’ of Peanut. I’m very keen to hear why this. He looks awesome 😁😁😁

DollyTots · 27/06/2023 08:23

This is Loki in his favourite pink frilly floral spot, complete with draping canopy (DD’s bed) not contemplating any challenge whatsoever to his masculinity nor giving one fig about gender stereotypes.

Afternote: He was formerly Princess Peach before his plums were discovered. He still hisses at the vet who declared he had small balls.

Peanutmeg · 27/06/2023 08:25

@LostCats A selection of the terrible things Peanut has done:

Smashed the garden gnome
Destroyed DH's prized Lego models
Ripped an extractor fan off the wall (yes really. He jumped on top of it from the top of the fridge, and it really wasn't designed to take his weight)
Trained DH to get up at 3:30am every day to give him Dreamies, using the the extremely effective motivational tool of biting his feet until he gets up
Nicks our smart watches off their chargers at night and makes us chase him round the house to get them back.
Persistently steals and attempts to eviscerate DD's beloved Squishmallows, many of which require emergency surgery to repair the damage.

It is, as we often remark, a good job he is cute!

Here's my two monsters. Frank and indie.

So, I use a small side table to put a cup of coffee / glass of wine on of an evening
Needless to say Lenny has other ideas.

I have a small table by the side of my bed with a sheet/blanket thing over it.

Raven likes to sit on the table, weirdly staring at the wall like she should have a dunce cap on. Fred on the other hand likes to sleep under the table but pulls the sheet off during his nap so all my stuff falls on the floor and wakes him up.

@Willowcat77 gorgeous cats and your photography skills are incredible

bonfirebash · 28/06/2023 09:49

Shady has spent a good 20 mins neatly arranging himself on some Amazon paper

It's crucial that every bit of fur and appendage is properly placed for maximum enjoyment.

Supersimkin2 · 28/06/2023 10:41

I’m all melty with love, the naughtier the kitty the better.

Peanut! Stop messin abaht!! So clever and good.
