Basil has taken to miaowing outside the patio doors (presumably he thinks it's his turn now).
Karl is out and about (trying to break in next door?).
And a random Sybil shot to add to my collection of 'frightening' cat pictures 🤣

They do say that when there is a cat vacuum that is when another one appears 😂

This is the scariest cat picture IMO

Gizmo managed to upturn his litter tray last night. I still don't know how he managed it, but almost all the litter and the poo he'd just done ended up on the floor.

Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking. There will be a neighbourhood cat who's now measuring up and planning to expand their territory... taking over TC's "route"!

TC's dad just phoned me and asked me to tag him on to this thread.

@TCsDad Here you go.

Boone used to do that with his litter box as a baby. He’s sit on the end of it and tip it. For giggles…

@learieonthewildmoor where did you get the fancy cat tree from?

We have lots but mine are v good at destroying them and that looks v sturdy!

I’m very sorry about your ddog, @sweetkitty
We lost our Staffie in the new year and it hurt like hell.
But the cats are definitely much happier. My timid little Socks has come out of her shell and spends much more time downstairs instead of scurrying between the garden and my bedroom.

CassandraCross · 12/06/2024 10:47

TC seems very settled, definitely making himself at home.

TheShellBeach · 12/06/2024 11:08

Gizmo and Linney have met again, and there was no growling or hissing.

Mr SB and I have decided to keep all the doors in the house open, and let the cats encounter one another. We're going out this afternoon for an hour, so we'll keep them apart while we're gone. Just in case!

Linney still looks anxious, and he is hiding in our bedroom.

But Gizmo wandered in there, and then wandered out again.

I'm hoping that Linney will come into the sitting room, and observe Gizmo fast asleep.

Picard is outside and I'm not sure whether to let him in. Probably not, at the moment.

Glad all is going well in Argyll.

Supermarket cat is sulking.
There is now a sign up saying he is called Picasso and Please do not feed him as he is on a diet!
I used see him regularly begging for sausage roll scraps

Picasso is beautiful and definitely an Excellent Cat by the sounds of it!

TheShellBeach · 12/06/2024 12:10

Hi there, Picasso!

I'd give you a piece of sausage roll any time. What a lovely fella.

I confess to giving Picasso the odd Dreamie!
We got back from holiday on Sunday and Breadcat has been glued to my side I am covered in Tortie fur which shows up nicely on anything!
She has started to chill a bit now.
How sad am I that I spent a fair bit of time when on holiday looking for the cat on the webcam!

Picasso is very sweet. Love a Supermarket cat 😁.
Saw this on FB the other day.

Hoping to get an allotment cat as this one made me laugh

This was a Supermarket cat we met in Cumbria last year. Said cat took a great liking to DS2.

That is an excellent cat

TheShellBeach · 12/06/2024 12:49

I reckon Gizmo would be a successful supermarket cat.
I mean, he isn't shy.

I think I'll take him down to the Co-Op and see how he gets on.

I was thinking that maybe people would donate human food to him, if we put a label round his neck:

"Please help. Now owned by two old disabled pensioners. All food items accepted. Steak and scampi especially welcome - also cans of beer and bottles of sherry"
