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

Good news @coastergirl 👍. Also pleased to hear that Tobias continues to become more friendly and looking forward to seeing @Anniegetyourgun's bandages 🤣.

Sybil was being a tart this morning.

Sorry to disappoint, Grumpy. No blood was shed.

No sign of cats for most of my visit. I thought Allergic had locked them away so I couldn't get my hands on them. But after a while there was a loud thump from upstairs, which is apparently the sound of furry angels landing lightly on their soft little paws. They duly turned up and walked past me with a "Visitor you say? No problem" body language, accepted small treats placed before them, failed to persuade mum it was really feeding time (I mean, only 5 hours early, worth a try right?) and then dispersed themselves around the room. Tobias did a great gymnastic performance on the top shelf of the cat tree, Lassa sat staring at her mum with... some sort of expression. Then they mooched off again. I shall consider myself honoured.

Molly's Mice have the Thrifty seal of approval, i.e. she sat on them. There is therefore no point posting a picture at this time.

I have no idea what I have done, or not done, or should be doing.

Be very afraid.

Guilty! The defendant is fined 6 chicken dreamies.

I've given them copious amounts of treats. I think I have managed to prevent my imminent doom.

Incidentally has anyone's beastlings tried the Dreamies Shake Ups? Mine aren't that bothered by them, maybe it's the fact that they have multi vitamins in them (the treats, not the cats!) They do like Bonkers cat treats though.

I have been away for the long weekend. My lovely catsitter stayed in my absence, leaving at lunchtime today. I returned a couple of hours later to this piteous spectacle Hmm

Side food! How desperately sad! You are lucky 🐈‍⬛ hasn’t wasted away!

RumNotRun · 06/05/2024 19:32

Poor starving kitten!

Cat food measure: if you can see the bottom of the dish, it's empty.

Mrs. Grumpy won't let me buy a Lego Titanic (at £589 🙀). https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/lego-titanic-10294
Might get away with a cat though.
Mental note - Christmas present sorted.

Spotted the lego cat yesterday...he will almost definitely be joining my (already extensive) collection.

Benny has the zoomies. He's galloping around, wide-eyed and swishy-tailed. Poor Walter is hiding on the cat tree but I fear his minutes of peace are numbered.

RumNotRun · 07/05/2024 09:48

I saw the cat too on FB. My sensible self (about 3% of me) is trying to convince the 97% irresponsible part of me that I do not need a £90 Tuxedo Lego cat.

As I typed that Raven sat up and hissed. I have no idea what she was hissing at as there was nothing and no one anywhere near her, so perhaps she was giving her thoughts on the Lego cat.

So, Grumpy. Will you give the Lego Cat to Mrs Grumpy, or will you ask her to give it to you?

A fine distinction, worthy of its own thread in the Relationships board, methinks.

Deliberately left vague - whichever option works best 🤣🤣🤣

LostCats · 07/05/2024 10:33

See now I definitely need the Lego cat. But I want a pure black one 😁 so I’ll need to buy the cat and then get the extra pieces won’t I. Yey. Christmas ✅

I was wondering if I've got enough grey lego pieces to make a Sybil 😁.

TheShellBeach · 07/05/2024 10:41

Grumpy, you can't just make a Sybil.

The others will get jealous. You'll be forced to make Lego models of all of them.

Plus one of TC, complete with extended claws and fangs. Extra points if you can get them to retract and...tract? Pop in and out.

CatsonPollock · 07/05/2024 11:13

Amen to all the extra Lego cat ideas.
I feel an email to Mr Lego in Denmark is needed. 🐈🐈‍⬛

Supersimkin2 · 07/05/2024 11:20

A Lego Sybil would win the Turner Prize, surely.

With a Legover TC.
