Seriously though...Gizmo?! Perhaps someone fed him after midnight one night Smile

I am now very worried about him falling in the river and generating lots of tiny TCs...

RumNotRun · 08/06/2024 18:42

I'd love to see tiny TCs, he was a cute little kitten, all innocent and loving 😁

LostCats · 09/06/2024 09:14

Can’t begin to describe how happy I am that TC has now got a waiting list of potential homes. I’m still desperately thinking if it would work here even 😁
Was an interesting part of a strange day. Got the worst vestibular migraine I’ve ever had. No real pain but I may as well have had a bottle of vodka. Couldn’t even stand from the vertigo 😦 all good now and sighing at Eko rolling in dirt for no reason

You mad fools! You won't have an intact ankle between you!

Encouraging.

I'm so sad to hear the news about TC and NDN. I wish he could stay close to Grumpy! I'd have him if there was any way I could make it work, but my kids are challenging enough. I'm lucky to have pretty chilled cats. Although Benny is a bit cross tonight that I can't switch the rain off 🤷‍♀️

TheShellBeach · 10/06/2024 11:09

NEWS

Mr SB and I are meeting TC tonight in an undisclosed location in Scotland.

We're looking forward to meeting him and his dad.

Please God it goes well, and TC (Gizmo) and Linney enjoy many happy years together.

I'll keep you all updated on events. We're expecting Gizmo to hide behind the sofa for a few days.

LostCats · 10/06/2024 11:12

Oh my gosh how exciting!! Yey!

LostCats · 10/06/2024 11:13

Can we still call him TC though? 😁

I don't know!
Argh I didn't sleep last night.

It'll be okay. I'm pretty sure it will. Linney gets on with all our visiting cats.

He's even stopped chasing Suzy.

TheShellBeach · 10/06/2024 11:26

Suzy and Picard have been told that TC is on his way.
They've formed a Welcoming Committee.

Oh, Shell! You and Mr SB are truly wonderful!
(I may have something in my eye... very un-MNetty!)

And not forgetting the magnificent Linney. 🤞🏻

Have you read the previous six threads?
Does this look like a cat that hides behind the sofa?
Actually the last picture is indeed Gizmo hiding behind our sofa in one of his incursions 😹

Ahh Grumpy. You’ll miss your little cat burglar 🤣

ThugCatAdmirer · 10/06/2024 11:45

I'm not ashamed to admit I may have cried a little at this  lovely news. I won't @ you Grumpy and Shell as you'll be getting tonnes of notifications but love to you both (and TC Dad)

I don't deny it - I'm very fond of the little furry sod 😻.
I may gave to start taking photos of my (adult) children instead.

Luckily I've finally worked out how to use the camera on my phone.

It's only been six months

I wonder how TC is going to feel about Suzy and Picard trying to break into his house…

I love Suzy’s teeth 😁

That will be interesting.

Linney seems to have disappeared. I expect he's gone to buy some catnip, to welcome TC to his new house.

Or possibly he's in NDN's garden, looking for birds.

ThugCatAdmirer · 10/06/2024 11:55

Grumpy careful with adult kids and photos - if you have Snapchat they may send you drunken "stories" at 3am. If your phone is connected to Alexa for soothing night music, it's a shock to open a story and be treated to very loud drunken singing...

Although I think your DC are older and better behaved than mine Smile and more inclined to the soothing music themselves, not bloody loud drunken ABBA.

We love them really (and at 3am they tell us they love us Grin) Cats are more fun at this age for me though!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 10/06/2024 12:15

No Alexa, No Snapchat. I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to tech (even though I work in IT 😲)
Since both our sons are going down a 'classical' (in it's broad sense) music career route, the biggest risk is probably Schoenberg or very loud Mahler. I can happily live with either of those.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 10/06/2024 12:16

@TheShellBeach - forgot to say - Gizmo does like dreamies a lot.
