Dark Fred! 😎(Can't find a cat with sunglasses emoji.)

That's a grave omission.
We should campaign to MN to get one.

Picard strolled in today, and walked up to Gizmo's bed.

They stared at each other, then Picard remembered he'd come in to eat Linney's lunch, so he went to the kitchen to do so.

There was no hissing or growling.

We are making progress.

Are you actually sure it's the same cat?

Well, it's the cat which was handed to us in the undisclosed location which was overrun by midgies.

Decoy cat?

GargoyleOfBeelzebub · 14/06/2024 16:53

Decoy cat, personality transplant, or is he playing the long game? Perhaps his evil chip can't pick up the signal from Scotland?

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Like a furry ticking time bomb.

I think that he's behaving like a cat who's not with the human he knows and loves.

He's doing his best, and he's been very tactile and generally happy and purring.

Mr SB and I are really looking forward to seeing what he'll be like when he joins Linney and the NMCs outside.

But in the meantime, he's shown that he rather likes contorting himself into very uncomfortable sleeping positions

Part of me is pleased that TC has calmed and is apparently more zen (maybe it's the calming air in Argyll?), but an evil part of me wants him to continue to be the crazed psycho cat we all know and love.

We are all thinking it, you're brave enough to say it Grin

When we inherited MILs cat, she shat on the carpet, peed on the bed, scratched anyone who went anywhere near her, and refused to eat anything other than Dreamies for at least the first month. TC's reaction to being uprooted seems far more sedate.

TheShellBeach · 14/06/2024 18:38

Aw. He spotted Suzy sitting on the windowsill and jumped up to talk to her through the window.

He's really keen to go out and join all the cats in the garden.

Wow. I'm glad Gizmo is calmer than that.

"I think that he's behaving like a cat who's not with the human he knows and loves."

Aww, this made me sad. I think you're probably right @TheShellBeach. Poor TC. He must be very confused. Hopefully he'll settle in quickly and feel much more like himself.

Clone Cat?

If the cat we've got is a clone of TC, where is the real one?

Gizmo followed Linney to the bedroom, chirruping

Little boy, tenderly hoping he will be loved.

Lucky boy. 😀

And after far too much excitement for a Saturday morning, is resting on the kitchen bookshelf.

Ooh I've been hissed at!

I moved him very gently from the front door when I was opening it and he was furious with me.

Temper, temper.
