Ah so glad TC is settling in!

Breadcat24 · 11/06/2024 11:15

TC looks like he is settling well, I hope Linney gets on with him. I think it is great that you have taken him on.

Iamacatslave · 11/06/2024 11:28

Wonderful news. I look forward to many more updates and photos.

TheShellBeach · 11/06/2024 11:39

Gizmo has settled in very well and he's letting both of us stroke him.

Linney is being watchful, so we've separated them.

Linney's actually just gone out with Picard and Suzy.

I expect he's telling them in dismay about the "new cat".

This all puts into the shade my news that for the fifth day running Tobias has actively requested a shoulder rub & a stroke first thing before breakfast.

That's very good news, Allergic.

I haven't seen any pictures of Tobias and Girlcat for a while.

I hope you're all going to carry on posting about your cats.
This thread wasn't just for TC!

Girlchild has just reminded me that it's 5 years today since we brought the Idiot Sisters home 💕

So five years since I had wallpaper 😱

HouseofHolbein · 11/06/2024 13:28

And how they grew 💕💕

Gizmo looks well settled in.

We have a new cat tree. After liberally applying treats to every level and removing the extremely comfy cushions which they refuse to touch while in the tree, we have success. Even Cat Three sits in it. Here he (taxied)is super impressed and somewhat incredulous that he on the top level. Cat One is loving looking out and Cat Two just likes it for a snooze.

That should say tuxie.

RumNotRun · 11/06/2024 13:57

That is a very posh cat tree! I took the taxied but to mean you'd lifted him into the top basket and that's why he was surprised at being up there 😂

LostCats · 11/06/2024 14:10

That’s what I thought too Rum! Boone needs a taxi up and down the stairs a lot now. Back legs not doing as well again.

TheShellBeach · 11/06/2024 14:29

How do they get up to the top!?

Yes, I know they can jump.
It just looks......a bit difficult.

@HouseofHolbein
I always love the windowsill one. Do you arrange them or do they sit like that

Yes, so did I.
Can you imagine having to be on hand to lift cats into cat trees whenever they want?

I thought, after catching him drinking out of the bathroom tap, he would ignore a water fountain. I was wrong! And it looks quite stylish in the corner.

He is.

How are Linney and your NMCs getting on with the stripey menace?

Edited

All three of ours are in the front garden, but not Gizmo.

Linney is fine, but we're keeping him and Gizmo separated for a while, till they get used to each other.

And we're not letting Gizmo out yet, so he hasn't met Picard and Suzy.

I thought Picard came in? For cream

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/06/2024 09:27

Ahaha Grumpy - what will you do with your time now you don’t have to guard every minute

I have no idea - but without TC around I'll probably post less on MN and certainly take fewer photos! 🤣

Edited

Oh no! We need pictures and updates of your set (clowder?) looking bemused at being able to come and go as they please! Does Sybil miss him?

TheShellBeach · 11/06/2024 15:51

Breadcat24 · 11/06/2024 15:46

He does. So does Suzy.
They haven't come in yet today, and I can't leave the window open, in case Gizmo gets out.

In good weather, Linney and the NMCs use the window. There isn't a cat flap.

Picard is on the wall now, looking through the window and hoping I'll open it.
🤣
