@YesItsMeIDontCare Does Leroy let you walk him on that lead??!

RumNotRun · 02/05/2024 19:41

Leroy is so handsome in his new coat 🥰😍

leroy is a star

Very smart! 🐈‍⬛

Imperial purple is gorgeous - the colour of emperors.

Darling Leroy is the best.

He does. He has FIV so he can't go out like a normal cat. I take him out twice a day for a good mooch about (I don't walk him like a dog) and he's allowed in the garden supervised.

i just love his bat wings 😂

RumNotRun · 02/05/2024 21:04

Where did you get his coat? Also do you just take him out into an enclosed garden or "out out"? I've seen cats on My Cat From Hell going for walks in the big outside which I'd happily do with Toad but I do worry about what would happen if he saw a dog.

DaBlackCatsAreDaBestCats · 02/05/2024 21:08

@YesItsMeIDontCare Fab! I’d love to have Arthur in a little coat like that but when I put him in a harness to get some fresh air after having to stay in for 21 days after an operation he went batshit and tried to climb the fence whilst wearing it. Shame because it was a good fit. Very snug 🐈‍⬛

Hello fans. Mum put fishies on my bed cause she thought I looked lonely. I ignore the fishies as I am not a baby who needs soft toys.

Coat is made to measure from Mynwood Cat Jackets 😊

Out garden is enclosed which is why he can go out there without his jacket & lead. We go "out" out twice a day. We live on a main road but there's a lot of grass banks, trees and hedges separating us from the actual carriageway - and that's where we have our walks mooches. Leroy leads and I follow. It's very much based on how he would go out if he didn't have his mum attached 😂

Some pics of our stomping grounds -

@YesItsMeIDontCare That looks brilliant! I’d love to do that. We are in a built up London suburb. Your walks look amazing x

Anniegetyourgun · 02/05/2024 21:36

I'm fairly sure Thrifty would have been much more grateful, provided the fishies contain catnip. If they don't, she'd probably just lie on them.

We bought one of those fishes for Linney and he ran off in terror when it started flailing about. 🤣

Leroy had exactly the same reaction to his 😂

RumNotRun · 02/05/2024 21:48

One of the fish used to move and the tribe were terrified of it, but the other has always been inanimate, but both are supposed to have catnip in. They're quite old so have probably lost their potency by now.

Agatha adores her Mr Wiggly-Fish. She especially likes throwing him down the stairs when I'm on work calls, for maximum shock and noise.

Arthur is ready for bed in his life jacket

Arthur looks so cute in that

Defiantlynot41 · 02/05/2024 23:12

@Anniegetyourgun sorry I missed your question about the flying pigs - if you look closely they have cherub wings! No real significance I'm afraid, just super cute - and after all, pigs might fly!

How is Arthur's head doing? Is he back reclaiming his territory?

It's Lola's 4th birthday today! She's not impressed with today's weather but has heard that there may be birthday chicken 🍗 later so has perked up... well, sort of.

Happy Birthday Lola 🎉🥳🎂🎁🎈🐈‍⬛
His head is healing. Thank you for asking. He only wears his life jacket at night because he loves going in and out during the day. Territory all marked. Saw him marching on the spot spraying to make sure everyone knew he was back on the block.

Oh, sweet!
