Tales and Tails and NMCs - the Excellent Cats March On

[TheShellBeach]

Join us as 2024 starts and our cats continue to run our lives for us.

Leroy would look amazing in a feather boa 🥰 He'd probably have to "kill" it first though 😂

That gets my vote too Grumpy

I've just spent far too long looking at cat comic strips.

A couple more of my favourites. I am trapped under a sleeping snoring Frankenstein who has decided that my upper arm is his new pillow. He's gone from not really letting me touch him to curling up on me, which is great but I can't reach my kindle and my arm is getting pins and needles. I'm incapussitated - send help!

This isn't quite how an igloo is supposed to work, but whatevs.

This is one of the contenders (out of 7) for the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square.
It would get my vote.

Needs stripes.

Needs stripes.
As an owner of monochrome cats I'll have to respectfully disagree, but looking upthread I definitely think the sculptor missed the opportunity of adding a feather boa.
We could just propose sticking TC up there I suppose

Yes, I was thinking of just that! A statue to honour his stripiness.

The lions had better mind their Ps and Qs then.

...but looking upthread I definitely think the sculptor missed the opportunity of adding a feather boa.

I propose we send Super on a stealth mission to add a feather boa if it's selected 😁

Needs stripes.

Like these 😁

I prefer my stripes in purple, green and white 😊

although Leroy is of course gorgeous.

@YetAnotherSpartacus - I know exactly where you're coming from. I have a lovely subtle wristband/bracelet thingy in those colours. However, I love rainbows and will not have my rainbows taken away from me 😁 I'm also quite big on pink and glitter 💖

Leroy would rock the plinth, his serene expression of imperial superiority a source of awe and respect to all.

Especially pigeons.

I could nip up there with his stripy boa for bank holiday, and a sneaky cuddle.

Oh he loves pigeons! Hasn't tasted one yet but he knows they'll be delicious 😂

Sybil's murder mittens.
No. 1 in a series of cat closeups. 😺

I do not believe that Sybil would ever do anything as naughty as using her claws for evil. She is a beautiful gentle soul.

Daughter of a colleague has just had a litter of bengals 💕 well obviously the mama cat has given birth.

So cute. Apparently the mother has rejected the white one so they are being hand fed every 2 hours 💕

Dem kittens exquisite. A white Bengal! Mythical beauty.

Re the cat on the plinth

I am a Londoner by birth and old enough to remember when Nelson, his column, and most London buildings were black with soot. Trafalgar Square was full of pigeons, and you could buy bags of bird food a la Mary Poppins 2d a bag, to feed them.

Hence Spike Milligan's poem
'Tis due to pigeons that alight
On Nelson's hat, that makes it white.

Does anyone else foresee a problem with the cat if it wins?

Nothing wrong with a black and white cat 🤣🤣

Girl child would quite like the white one tbh. It's a nope from me 🤣🤣

I bet the idiot sisters would like a little friend to play with.

Love your Pet Day is headlined on
instagram by a cat called Fuskin Chuff.

Me too.

Advise me.
I'm trying to decide if we should get another cat.

Mr SB thinks Linney would be jealous. I'm not sure.

In true MN fashion my advice is don't get one, get two. 🐈🐈‍⬛.
Being serious - I tend to think that introducing kitten(s) to an incumbent cat is easier than introducing another adult cat.
Do you have a particular cat in mind?
