And Favourite Cat, Alizè (RIP) was a pumpkin one Halloween. I think his face says exactly what he thought of that.

I've just found a cowboy outfit that's the same.

I hope your DD realises her place in the packing order @HouseofHolbein 😁

There's also these two. I think Fred will be relieved that I'm on a spending ban at the moment.

Fabulous cat outfits. Arthur has also got a neckerchief that says Vamos el Espana for a reason I can’t remember

@RumNotRun my daughter knows EXACTLY where she is in the pecking order 🤣🤣

Anyway I'm away watching the darts 🎯 on Thursday so she needs to fend for herself on her birthday 🤣🤣

Papergirl1968 · 08/04/2024 20:06

Please post the pics of the Idiot sisters in their bonnets, @HouseofHolbein for the new members on here 😂

HouseofHolbein · 08/04/2024 20:34

Your wish is my command @Papergirl1968 🤣🤣

The girls’ outraged but resigned expressions get me every time!
That kitty is not feeling the Christmas spirit, Grumpy

@HouseofHolbein They look fab!

🤣🤣 I know I look at these photos far too often 🤣🤣

Frank and I now have a routine. Whenever I get in bed, I have to lie on my left hand side and lift the duvet so he can go under. He'll then lie with his front paws on my arm for as long as he decides, cheek and ear strokes must be made continuously or he gives me A Look. When he has finished with cuddles, he moves to the pillow and goes to sleep, snoring happily. I am then allowed to move into a more comfortable position.

He's a very demanding little beast.

I think the photos of the idiot sisters in their bonnets should be posted monthly at least. Thread rule.

I think the windowsill picture merits the same treatment 🐈🐈🐈

For the fourth morning in a row, Tobias has allowed me to gently touch his cheek before the morning offering of dried chicken liver bits. No drawing away, no batting with a paw, not even a panicked look in his eyes.

SUCH a good boy 💖

RumNotRun · 09/04/2024 07:25

Well done Tobias!

Raven, napping after a busy morning eating and sleeping.

Tobias is such a good boy.
Socks is getting braver too, since the dog died in January and DD2 and her baby left home. From spending all her time upstairs when the dog was around, she is now downstairs a lot more, curls up on my chest when I’m watching TV and is eating loads.
And no more urinary problems with Matt, touch wood. I’m beginning to think stress was a large part of it.
Matt still gets very jealous of Socks though. If she’s sitting on the windowsill or a particular chair, he wants to be there, and will chase her off. Luckily she can run faster than him!

I totally second this.
I'm pretty sure (as a lurker) I missed the very first posting of the Idiot Sisters in bonnets, so apols if this type of thing has already been discussed, but every time I see the photos I think the sisters should feature in an alternative (and probably non-PC) Beatrix Potter tale or maybe a feline Jane Austen novel.

Especially for @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats 💕

That’s pussycat perfection. Iconic image.

Prince kipped on my shoulder, lovely and cosy, for 12 hours solid. We are both rested, our faces have been thoroughly washed and Havelock had to wake us up so he could steal Prince’s breakfast.

Supersimkin2 · 09/04/2024 11:16

Allergic that’s superb news about Tobias. Your heroic love wins the day, we knew it would.

Matt is Magnificent, what a relief about the bladder improvement. Little socks growing in confidence! Sniff, the sweetness.

Any chance of a pet portrait? New members may care to note the huge, fluffy entitled black cat is NOT MY CAT. Havelock next door, bff with darling 🐈 Prince, lord of all
her surveys.
