New thread for the inmates of Toddler Towers. Strange to think, it's about two completely different cats, from the original
Thread. But Magic, Maia and Cheddar will never be forgotten.

What a lovely update about Pads and his new brother. I do pity their slave as they look like a right pair of trouble makers 😈

Toddlerteaplease · 03/01/2025 21:29

Well it all depends of Garfield is leading him astray. Pads is a very well behaved bull in a china shop. 😂

Oh so good news on Pads. He seems like he’s really settled. Have you heard anything on Dotty?

Its so good to see Pen looking happier

Pudmyboy · 03/01/2025 23:58

It looks like 2025 will be a happy year for all the magnificent cats! Paddington and Garfield look a similar size so can rough-house as much as they like, Dottie learned how to play and explore at Toddler Towers so can fully enjoy her life with her daughter, and Penelope has had her eye all sorted and has Toddler to herself so can come out of her shell and be truly magnificent. You did good for all of them, Toddler!

@Soubriquet her new owner sent me a video of her playing with her daughter a while ago. If I'd not had either of them, they wouldn't have found the perfect home for both of them. Although I really miss them both. And wish I could have kept them.

Ugh, Penelope stinks. I put some ear cleaner on one ear. And it always smells funny when it dries on her fur. (She is not cooperative with ear cleaning!) She also gets cat milk on her chin and it smells sour. Good job she's cute

Very cute!

Toddlerteaplease · 05/01/2025 11:47

Well, yes I am very cute.

Adorable Miss Penelope. You have officially turnt me towards the smush faced cats. I could never really see their appeal before but they do look really cute.

Still don’t think I would ever get one though cos they definitely look like their expenses are constant and ever growing…

Apart from being spayed, and vaccinations, in 9 years, Toots has never had to see the vet

Toddlerteaplease · 05/01/2025 22:27

I suspect her ears might be bothering her. She's scratching them a bit, and one is quite warm. Though last time I thought that they were fine. Her usual vet was away in December, so maybe she just wants to give her the box of chocs I brought her in person!

How does she manage to get so many ear infections? It's not as though as is consorting with the great unwashed moggie population outside, or even the local fox population. Are you bringing wee beasties home from work Toddler? 😯

Toddlerteaplease · 06/01/2025 14:22

This is Penelope. So who knows. She had an untreated infection when I first got her. That led to ulcers rather than infection. Although when she was last checked in December she was fine.

Lovely to see Pads is happy with Garfield, they seem to be the perfect match,

Toddlerteaplease · 06/01/2025 20:55

Yes and Dotty happy with Cheryl. Penelope is busy keeping me under the paw.

Mine is just sleeping on her blanket, cute as can be at the bottom of my bed. She will stay there all night

That's what Pen does. Although she does like to snuggle in for cuddles. Which usually involve being tickled by her magnificent whiskers and then being sneezed on.

See Toots will lay on your lap, or on your chest if you’re laying down but only if you’re awake. She’s not one of those who will sleep with you when you’re sleeping. She prefers her own little space

Toddlerteaplease · 07/01/2025 21:32

Madam is curled up on my arm. I appear to have been forgiven for administering ear cleaning drops. 😹

Tried Madam on different wet food and she seems to quite like it. Not holding my breath though! She wouldn't entertain PAG own brand flakes.

Soubriquet · 09/01/2025 18:15

Cats are bloody nightmares in food aren’t they? Toots gets gourmet perle. She has eaten it for years but she does through phases of refusing to eat. I used to pander to her and try new foods but now I don’t. She has dry food available at all times if she’s hungry

Toddlerteaplease · 09/01/2025 22:08

She's smug that our quiz team decided not to risk the icy roads and going tonight. I was really looking forward to it. And was happy to still go. Pen tells me that she is far better company.

Dropped some chocolates and a card for Pens vet. As she's been brilliant with her. I made the mistake of saying she was behaving herself. Arghh!!!

Soubriquet · 13/01/2025 14:29

JINX!!!!! You’ve done it now

Toddlerteaplease · 13/01/2025 17:40

Checking out her new fountain. Fingers crossed she actually uses it it'
