I'm sure you're right.
We've discovered that Mr G often sits somewhere on the floor and declines to move.

That's when a judicious request gets the hissing response.

He won't budge.

Classic TC behaviour. How dare you consider inconveniencing him. You DESERVE to be hissed at.
🤣🤣🤣

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 04/07/2024 12:02

Does he ever swipe you when you walk past him?
That was another of his specialities.

Yes.
I've got a few scratches on my ankles and feet.

He's especially good at it when I'm only wearing my nightie, which means he gets my bare legs.

Little sod.

I'm so pleased he hasn't mellowed 🤣.

THUMP!!!

Are they all more relaxed in general yet or are they still on alert for tabby intruders?

I think they are more relaxed (particularly Basil).
Much more pottering about outside all day.

Gizmo's response to the election Exit Poll

An appropriate response 😺

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 05/07/2024 11:31

I realised this morning that none of my current cats have ever experienced living under a Labour Government.
They have complained about an inadequate focus on rodent provision in the Labour Party manifesto

TheShellBeach · 05/07/2024 11:47

Gizmo now has an SNP MP, despite the efforts of the residents of Argyll and Bute to unseat him.

We were mightily disappointed to discover that Brendan O'Hara is one of the few Scottish MPs to have retained his SNP seat.

I was hoping we'd have got rid of him.

I'm afraid ours still have a Tory local MP though.😭

Send them to me as the local fox population aren't too fond of rodents stuffed with hedgehog food. Nature is becoming slightly unbalanced atm 🐭

TheShellBeach · 05/07/2024 13:13

Gizmo is annoyed about the SNP MP.

He hissed at me in the bathroom, and I can only assume that that was the reason.

We also have an SNP MSP (Jenny Minto) who was as useless as a chocolate teapot when my neighbour and I were campaigning to keep the Warden in our sheltered housing complex.

To our dismay, the only politician who helped us was the unhinged former Tory councillor, who had been kicked out of the Party for being too right-wing (!)

He also annoyed us by writing: (in response to our initial email)

"Thank you for informing myself of this important local issue............."

TOSSER.

Mind you, he did help, in the end.

We have a Lib Dem MP! The Lost Cats are extremely pleased about this! 💛

Happy birthday @TheShellBeach ! 🎂🥂🍻🍷(Given the previous posts I thought at first you were going to criticise your MP about being a year older!🤭)

Pudmyboy · 05/07/2024 14:33

(or should that be over being a year older? Happy to be corrected!)
