The Very Eventful Lives of the Excellent Cats

[TheShellBeach]

Calling all cats and their overworked slaves - join us as we grudgingly accept that every day is National Cat Day as far as our moggies are concerned.

Aw! Love seeing kittens.

Ah @LilacpointMummy I do love seeing yours.
I had a lilac point as a child and yours remind me so much of my Coco. She was quite the character!! So much so that I’ve loved very vocal cats since then.

What was that you said? Can I share some kitten pictures?

Yes!!! Kittens!!

Oh. I posted kitten pictures but they didn’t show. Hang on.

Ahhhh!!!!

@freeandfierce Zoëlle is gorgeous..looking so regal atop the woodburner. Is she a particular breed?😻

What lovely poems I have shown my friend this thread, and she is very pleased and thankful

Thank you LostCats 😁
They are quite chatty but I think they see needing to directly ask me for something as a failure in their training of me 😂

The baby is an absolute terror but so cute and affectionate it's v hard to be cross with her!

Her mum was a spynx and dad a Maine coon, definitely more of her dad!

Lolz. Boone walked up to DH on the swinging chair and very clearly told him to GET OFF as it’s Boone’s turn now. Boone is now very happily gently swinging himself on the chair.

Kittenzzzzz!

All the kitties are just lovely. Sight for sore eyes, instant cheer up.

Here's my beautiful girl who lost an eye earlier this year.
It was very traumatic and the help and support I had from the Litter Tray helped so much - thanks again everyone 😻

Ah!! She looks so good! I had been wondering how she was doing

She's really good thanks - it hasn't slowed her down at all from her busy schedule of eating, sleeping and cuddling 😻

Picard popped in to eat Linney's food today.

I have to say that, in that pic, she looks like she's blaming you and plotting her revenge.

Ha ha - she knew I was going away for a bit and she's NOT HAPPY with me 😺

@freeandfierce what a glorious mix! If I'm not being too nosey, was the breeding on purpose? I read that they are very rare...But such a perfect mix... very cuddly and loving. Im happy for your family that you have such a beautiful kitty😻 and I love her name

The perk of fostering is an endless supply of kitten cuddles.

@Iwontletyoudown love your three cats! How long have you had them?
Our rescue Martha had 3 kittens and the Blue Cross have them similar names!

We were very tempted by a kitten recently but decided that the boss, Martha, wouldn't take to another cat in the house

@OrangeBlossom28 our 3 were all rescues but didn’t arrive together and were renamed by my children on adoption so unrelated to boss mama Martha, not too distant cousins by appearance tho!

@Iwontletyoudown they are a very lovely trio of floofs ❤️

Toad invented a new game last night when I was in bed. It involves sitting on the metal grid above the window, shouting angrily for a while then jumping down to land on your human (an average sized cat is surprisingly heavy when it lands with full force on your side). According to the game, you then purr loudly for a while before jumping back onto the window and starting again. Bonus points are awarded for waiting till the human is asleep or nearly asleep before jumping on them.

I went back to bed this afternoon and discovered something on my pillow.
