Machiavellian Misbehaviour- the Excellent Cats Deny Everything

[TheShellBeach]

Clarion call to all the cats from the last thread and a warm welcome to any new ones who want to join us.

Welcome Breadcat and all our new furry friends!!

excellent prawning Catson!

Absolutely beautiful, and a stellar CV

Here’s my tuxedo prawn @CatsonPollock

Thank you everyone for the lovely welcome Breadcat is happy to join the band of beautiful cats on this thread.
Here is a picture of the ladder/balcony she sits on - sadly I could not get her to pose on it today like the lovely Sybil- it is wet weather here and she is not impressed!

Just to be contrary she has got on the balcony!

Lexter wants food. There is food on both the cat plates in the kitchen. The goblin is Not Happy.

Ahh I love Lexter! He’s so wonderful.
I see he has some fur? Is it just missing on his face now?

What breed of cat is Lexter? He looks like a little person. So cute ❤️

Aw Lexter! He's got a little more fur now.

Lexter looks so patient

@LostCats just his front paws and face have no fur now. His tail has a bit but not much, it's more like a rodent tail than a cat one.

Dablack, he is actually just a standard moggy. When I first rescued him he was a beautiful tabby with white patches, all the neighbours called him Pretty Face. He then didn't come home for ages and when he did, he'd lost all his fur. The vets didn't know why but it's grown back slowly over the last few years. I think he looks stranger now than he did when he was naked.

@RumNotRun Oh wow! I’ve never heard of anything like that before. Wonder if it was stress? I do love his face. He’s adorable. ❤️

He used to hate me but always loved my ex. Now he loves cuddles with me when I'm lying in bed, he's very affectionate when he feels like it. He has the most unnerving stare though, it feels like his eyes are burning into my soul 😁

Is his fur growing back exactly the same pattern as it was before?

Kind of. He's not as stripey although he does have some stripes, just not as defined. His white bits are more yellow. I think that might be due to his skin oils cause he leaves marks when he's been using the same blanket or bed for a while. I know you're supposed to bathe/wash Sphinx cats so maybe I should do that with him, but I value my skin too much!! As loving as he can be, his claws are bloody sharp and I don't think he'd be a fan of water.

Investigating the new DVD player

And then getting comfy in Mr SB's favourite chair

Vixen and Fred were exhausted earlier from a long hard day of sleeping and eating.

Whereas Raven has taken over Fred's scratching sofa, which only just has enough space for her "excess fur". I think that's the polite way of putting it!

Ha ha ha. Still love the sofa 🐈‍⬛

I was trying to decide whether or not to get Linney a cat sofa.
I bet he'd still prefer the real one.

Owing to an indoor environment, sedentary nature and enthusiastic appetite, Thrifty is beginning to look unhealthily spherical. I got her some diet cat foods today, including the Royal Canin light dry and wet foods - hope they meet with approval - and an exercise toy, the famous Da Bird, recommended by Allergic's cats. Needless to say, Thrifty accepted some chicken (shopping day is chicken day) and sat down to digest it while slim little Izzy leaped all over the lounge after this ruddy bird. After a while Thrifty strolled over, patted it a bit, rolled over on it, and lost interest again. Izzy gave an apologetic-sounding chirrup (sort of, "excuse me, have you finished with that?") and had at it again.

Time for Plan B, whatever that may be. I was thinking to get those puzzle food dishes which slows down their eating, but if Izzy eats any less she'll be a little fuzzy skellington, whereas if Thrifty doesn't eat less she'll pop. Probably worth a try though.

I'm always tempted to get one of the proper cat sofas. There are a few on Amazon that look lovely, but I agree with you, the cats would still use the proper one and the cat version would sit unloved gathering dust.

They only like this one cause it's corrugated cardboard so it's satisfying to scratch and make a mess with. It was roughly £10 in PaH.

I think someone is hiding behind the curtains.

Shh, if he can't see you you can't see him 😉

Just bought Linney an igloo.
He'd better be grateful.
