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.

🤣🤣🤣

but seriously though - is Linney ok?

Am outraged but also overwhelmed by the cuteness.

@TheShellBeach Oh my god! I am so sorry, I didn't read that about the reactions. I'm glad you managed to save Linney from his sneezing.

I didn't read the reviews either. It's not your fault.
And Linney enjoyed the couple of minutes he had with his stick!

I wonder if it's the fruit that can cause the reaction as they each have a dried silver vine at the end? The actual leaf is used in lots of cat toys so one would hope that doesn't cause severe reactions, although shops still sell Bob Martin flea treatment so I guess a shop selling something doesn't mean it's safe.

I'll make sure I keep an eye on the tribe when they're attacking the sticks though. The boys are all hiding at the moment as it's flea treatment day. I'm going to have to try to lure them out with Dreamies.

It's Linney's flea treatment day, too.

So naturally, he's hiding under the bed covers.

Great photo of Prince there. He does indeed look as if he's levitating.
I had a nip on the elbow for not getting out of bed quickly enough to feed Matt his breakfast. Purr, purr, nuzzle, nuzzle, lick, lick - then bite. Clearly he woke up hangry.

Finlay is on week 3 of hydrotherapy today - moving about more in the water but still not liking it and does not understand the treadmill concept

Aw Finlay 🥰

Nothing to do with cats but this video made me laugh so I thought I would share. I can't understand all of what is being said but that doesn't matter.

Anyone else follow Simon's cat?

I love Simon's Cat, that cartoon is great. Thank you for sharing.

We went out for lunch and when we returned, we discovered Picard inside our sitting room window, waiting for us.

Linney has run away because we managed to catch hold of him to put Bravecto on his neck.
Deeply unimpressed.

Gorgeous photo of Picard. 😻
Haven't met any holiday cats yet - but spotted this beast on the Malvern Hills. Does this count as an NMC? (Actually a NMB - but close enough)

Ooh you could take the NMB home to defend your property from TC.

Did you meet the ghost of Elgar on the Malvern Hills. Grumpy?

Very fine NMB there.

Maybe he can help to defend my property from Picard? I'm sure he's got a key.

Did you meet the ghost of Elgar on the Malvern Hills. Grumpy?

I fully expected to but we didn't. No idea why we didn't, it's an enigma.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Frankfurter (as he has been nicknamed today) is turning into a very cheeky little tiny cat. Finally after 2.5 years, he has decided he loves under the cover sleeps and jumps on the bed the minute I get in so that he can get the best spot, often resting his hands on my arm or boob.

He also likes to help do the washing up but he's not very good at it.

Good one!

Anyone watched the Pet Psychic on channel five?
I started watching it on catchup because I work with a family member of hers.
I’ve only seen the first episode so far but she asked a chicken why she’d stopped laying eggs, a dog why it didn’t want to go for walks, a rescued fox whether it was happy, a ferret whether it wanted a friend - and a cat whether it wanted to be cloned. I’m amazed a cat knew what cloning meant when I can barely understand it myself, but there you go. Anyway, spoiler alert, it said no.
According to the trailer for forthcoming episodes, another cat tells her to f-off…😂
I’d like to ask Matt whether he really hated the dog or just pretended to and ask Socks why she’s such a scaredy cat.

I was very honored this morning. Came down as usual and Tobias, rather than avoiding me like the plague, closely escorted me from the bottom of the stairs into the living room (all of about 3 steps). He then permitted me to stroke his tail without shooting off in a panic!

He also paused for a whole 3 seconds in scoffing his breakfast so he could lean in to me scratching his jaw!!! He does that sometimes when I do between his shoulders, but this was the first for the head/neck region.

Ahhh Allergic!! How wonderful!
