My cat is a knob but I love him

He's cost me €200 + in vets bills over the last 3 months, mainly because he believes he's a tiger and keeps scrapping with local ferals.

He's so bloody cute though 🙀

Gorgeous chap and worth every penny I’m sure x

ButterflyBitch · 09/08/2023 21:03

I told my cat earlier that he is very fickle as only loves me when I’m about to feed him or randomly at 3 in the morning when he decides to purr in my face and attempt to snuggle for ten mins before buggering off again. The rest of the time he just looks at me like I’m the crazy lady sharing his house 😁

I see your £200 and I raise you about £700 (so far) in the last 3 months in blood tests and thyroid meds, and now bloody anxiety meds because why not.

Good thing I love him 🙄😄

Gorgeous Boy OP.

Oh hell, you wouldn't spend that amount of money on yourself would you? I hope your kitty is ok (and very cute?)

Extremely cute thankfully, and doing well. MN doesn't seem to want to let me add a photo. Boo Hiss.

Christ on a bike. They had better be STAGGERINGLY cute. Award winningly cute.

They really were. Rang Tesco to take her off the insurance yesterday. I'm going to be £100 better off a month. She was worth every penny though. As was her sister. I told the call handler to look back through both of their claims. I think he was a bit gobsmacked!

Lollypop701 · 09/08/2023 21:26

Toddlerteaplease what the actual??? 24k, how?

He was a street cat when I rescued him but a charity had already got him neutered, hence the chip out of his ear. I wrote about it at the time, he was the kitty I stole from the charity shop just before lockdown in March 2020

I fell in love with him, love at first sight. You know when you meet a cat and you think you've been in each other's lives before?

He's lovely. He reminds me of my boy Bruno (with his sister willow)

It was like an instant connection. I knew this boy was for me, he knew it too. Sometimes he looks like an innocent kitty, other times he looks like a wise old man and looks straight into my soul ❤️

@PollyCreo They cut a chunk out of his ear to show he's neutered ?

Clarich007 · 09/08/2023 22:37

My cat is a nightmare plus the fact that he hates me.
It's so lovely to read threads like this 😻
