Cue outraged hissing and yowling.

Just hissing & yowling? No claws or teeth? You ARE in favour!

So that's it, you've discovered the secret of getting along with Gizmo. Just let him do whatever he wants and all will be sweet.

Stands to reason he hasn't zapped you yet. This is the training phase.

A certain young Tobias came straight to me this morning when I came down, specifically asking for scritches 😂

Supersimkin7 · 16/06/2024 10:56

He’s a very relaxed and happy kitten.

RumNotRun · 16/06/2024 11:04

Great news @Allergictoironing

My Tobias (Toad) is still mad at me I think as I gave Frank and Ghostie Lik-e-Lix yesterday and didn't give Toad any 😮 (he had had most of the Dreamies meat sticks so wasn't at all deprived) He has now decided to sleep on the dry food bag, possibly staking his claim!

RumNotRun · 16/06/2024 11:05

Forgot the photo. There are millions of comfier places in the house, don't be fooled by the "poor orphan having to sleep on the floor".

He has since run away from me twice as I was walking past him, ho hum 2 steps forward & 1 back & all that.

Your Toad is trying the "pity poor neglected little me" thing isn't he? lol

Papergirl1968 · 16/06/2024 11:29

So lovely to hear of darling Tobias’ progress. 😻

RumNotRun · 16/06/2024 11:37

Vixen is velcroed to me again today. I just had to climb the stairs on all fours as she was on my back and wouldn't get off.

TheShellBeach · 16/06/2024 13:43

Oh look at Vixen's tongue.
I never seen to get pictures of cats' tongues.

I get plenty of cats asleep, though.

Here's Gizmo, comfortably ensconced on our bed.

So now we know what TC was up to when he wasn’t trying to break into Grumpy’s house. Fast asleep somewhere cozy ♥️

Ooh, I found him in Linney's cave a minute ago. Linney was out.

I tipped Gizmo out and turned the cave the other way round, so he couldn't get back in.

And he swiped at my bare legs this morning, when I went past him in my nightdress.

Memo to self - get dressed before going through to feed Gizmo.

Shell, he clearly believes one's servants should be properly attired before serving the first meal of the day.

It's hard to get a photo of Vixen without her tongue hanging out. Thankfully she's decided to nap in the bathroom so, for now at least, my shoulders and back are safe.

TheShellBeach · 16/06/2024 15:18

Yes, poor chap. I never imagined he'd care if I wasn't dressed before opening a pouch of cat food.

Second Memo to Self

Make DH get up and serve breakfast to cats.

Do you think it's a subtle comment on how clean your floors are? 🤔

Breadcat24 · 16/06/2024 16:12

They can look at you in a very judgemental way!
When Breadcat was sneezing I made extra efforts to hoover under the beds in case it was dust.
@TheShellBeach Gizmo seems to be settling in - I am glad that the lovely Linney is not being bullied.
Looks like he cannot wait to socialize with his cat friends. I guess he is missing Sybil

If it is, he'll have to complain to Mr SB.

Floors in this house are his responsibility, along with washing up, doing the garden, putting out the bins and cooking breakfast.

I'm dinner, bed making, and doing the washing. Oh, and dusting and the bathroom.

Mr SB cleans all the floors daily. He's very good with a hoover and a mop.
