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

Well, that settles the debate over whether Thrifty is a real cat or not. This evening she threw up on the carpet. Robo-cats do not do this.

That’s so sweet, @coastergirl

I have loads to do but I am incapussitated…
Don’t know why he’s so tired. I was out of the house to work at 6.45 and the lazy beggar didn’t get off the bed for breakfast which is most unlike him.

Doesn’t mean to post two virtually identical pics, sorry.

Two pics of Matt is twice as good as one.

Sad news in the rum house tonight as a very loved friend died this evening from fucking cancer. However I ordered a Tesco Whoosh delivery of wine to toast my friend and it came in a paper bag so Vixen is happy. I'm sure my buddy Tracy would be laughing at my dopey cat if she could see her!

I'm so sorry about your friend, Rum.

I’m so sorry about your friend, Rum.
I can’t read the thread you linked, Shell. Difficult times with the ever challenging DDs, and DM is deteriorating fast. Thank goodness for the cats with their healing purrs and snuggles.

RumNotRun · 06/06/2024 21:01

I don't know what we'd all do without the love of furry ones. Tracy was a huge animal lover although probably more dogs (and horses!) than cats. I didn't hold that against her though 😁

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 06/06/2024 21:32

Very sorry to hear about your friend too. Rum.
💐

CatsonPollock · 06/06/2024 23:01

Condolences to you and your friend's family, Rum. 💐

RumNotRun · 07/06/2024 12:13

Thanks all.

In happier news I had cuddles with Frankenstein earlier. He's been a bit standoffish over the last few days but earlier he came over for snugs and purrs. Toad tried to gatecrash as well 😁

LostCats · 07/06/2024 12:48

Ah Rum I am so very sorry.

LostCats · 08/06/2024 11:20

Absolutely devastated by the TC news. I do hope someone on the Litter Tray can give him a wonderful new home.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/06/2024 12:08

Thanks @LostCats - we're all very sad, mainly because TC's dad has been such a great neighbour over the years - we'll really miss him (though we will of course keep in touch and visit in Germany). He's tried every option to be able to keep TC but sadly his new location would be much to restrictive.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 08/06/2024 12:14

I'm beyond devastated.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/06/2024 12:19

'too restrictive'. FFS . Missed the chance to edit.

LostCats · 08/06/2024 12:20

I’ve thought so much about whether we could but Boone is a bit too disabled now to cope with the change and we’re a bit too close to a busy road.

TheShellBeach · 08/06/2024 15:36

Maybe.......

Maybe Linney needs a tabby companion........

Oh. My. Gosh Shell!! I do hope Linney needs a new companion 🐈

LostCats · 08/06/2024 15:53

Oh. My. Gosh Shell!! I do hope Linney needs a new companion 🐈

I think it has to depend on Gizmo's current cat dad.

Mr SB and I would like Gizmo (TC)
Linney gets on well with our own version of TC (Picard).

But we all need to have a good think.

@TheShellBeach this could be the best news ever!!!

ThugCatAdmirer · 08/06/2024 18:02

I posted on the TC thread, and am a lurker/past contributor to this thread under NCs. Just wanted to say if a new MN home can be found for Thug Cat (sorry, he will never ever be a Gizmo in my mind Smile) I would be more than happy to contribute towards any relocation costs like transport etc.

Thug Cat is a MN institution and Grumpy's threads (and TC Dad contributions) are one of the best things about MN to me. They show such a lovely side to MN, such a fabulous community feel, and like the Playmo threads and Woolly Hugs, bring pleasure to lots of people. We aren't all vipers in an AIBU snakepit!
