....... calling all the excellent cats from the last thread.

Stop chasing shrews, mice and birds and join us here.
Less well-behaved cats especially welcome.

Sorted some gardening tools to go and help out my sister this afternoon.
Worried that Basil has spotted an 'opportunity' 🙀

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats Do you think he's armed himself in case of TC attack?

Hadn't actually thought of TC. Assumed it was for me (or maybe Lenny 🤣)

DIY jigsaw puzzle @TheShellBeach ?

I have fallen in love with Lexter at first sight 😍

I have carried out my Official Duties, but can only show you Shorty at present.

Definitely not halves of two different mice?

I'm glad somebody else loves the freaky little oddball. Even the vet didn't know what happened to his fur when he lost it all. He was a gorgeous tabby with white patches when he was a kitten, known as Pretty Face by all the neighbours.

TMI but there was a very small piece of connective tissue still attached to the two halves of the corpse.
I only glanced at the remains briefly, before waking Mr. SB up to do his duty and remove them.

Bleurgh.

Clearly, this is step one in training you to reassemble dismembered mice. He's been very helpful in starting you on the easiest puzzle first.

This was Lexter the gremlin when he first lost his fur. He loved his little shirt though, he had several of them but this was his favourite.

Aaaw he looks like a little Sphinx cat. Loving the idea of him having a favourite shirt. 😻

Loving seeing all of these gorgeous floofs!

Woken by Toberama at 6.20 so he got ignored till the alarm went off at 8.
He's now done his usual and buggered off for the day. Sorry I can't share any pics as he's hardly here!

He's meant to be meeting his new pet sitter on Thursday but I've told her not to be too hopeful.

I can sympathise RaRa, Leroy started at 6:02am 🙄 Fortunately His Lordship was appeased with a cuddle and a chitter at the birds from the windowsill. He then slept until 8:24 and so did I!!!

Currently at hospital waiting for DH's planning scan for radiotherapy - Leroy is gonna be livid 'cause he's not had a walk 🤷🏼‍♀️

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/08/2023 12:13

I'd commend getting a Sybil. She lets us sleep, and is generally only a pest at mealtimes 🤣.
Typical Sybil relaxing poses enclosed from a few minutes ago.

@TheShellBeach his usual sitter is away the same time as us this time. When we were away in the summer she actually messaged me to say she was worried because she hadn't seen him at all.
Neighbour's grandsons went on a search party and found his lordship sunbathing down by the beach!

FFS - sorry!

That is supposed to say "that sentence could mean MANY things"

When are we getting an edit function on here?
