Passports, buckets and spades - the Excellent Cats go on their holidays

[TheShellBeach]

The last thread filled up very quickly, mainly thanks to Gizmo's adventures. He is now a fully-fledged Excellent Cat.

And it's allegedly summertime so Ho for the Hols!

That's the tiniest little blep ever. He's so handsome!

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats Basil must be so hot with all that long fur.

He keeps flopping around looking mildly grumpy.

He's definitely feeling the heat.

Breadcat (who is not the sharpest knife in the box) has finally realised it is cooler indoors

Just catching up on the laser eyed robocats! I let this one sleep with me last night. DP is abroad with work, and he was curled up looking all cute, so I didn’t have the heart to move him to the kitchen. He slept on my feet until about 4, then I remembered why we shut him away. This when he heard my alarm go.

Thank you so much, that was brilliant!

Vixen has been telling me how hard her life is. She doesn't even have a bed to sleep on. It's a tough life.

Hello everyone, and sorry I've been MIA.

Anyway, I've got some Gizmo news.

Our sheltered housing warden tells me that he accompanies her on her rounds in the morning, when she checks up on the decrepit and incapable residents here.

Apparently, he enjoys calling on everyone, and pops into each house.

Knowing Gizmo, this will be because he's hoping to be given something to eat.

Or maybe he's hoping to depose the warden and take her job.

Welcome back @TheShellBeach I was wondering how Gizmo and you were getting on. That's so cute that he accompanies the warden on her rounds. Sounds like "our TC" has found his perfect home. Lots of neighbours that allow him into their house each day 😁

Oh that's so sweet!

I confess after I read your first sentence and then saw "I've got some Gizmo news" my heart dropped!

Phew! Anyway - as you were... 😄

@TheShellBeach That is really cute. Gizmo in a caring (for himself) role.
Seriously if I was decrepit He would cheer me up a treat.

TC really doesn't like to stick to one house does he? 🤣
Hope he's refraining from biting and scratching the decrepit and incapable residents too much.

Our sheltered housing warden tells me that he accompanies her on her rounds in the morning, when she checks up on the decrepit and incapable residents here.

He must be in seventh heaven. Not only are multiple doors being opened for his majesty but he's actually being welcomed across the threshold! This is what the King was born to do, hear him roar (across the country telling grumpy he was a meany poopoo head). What a lovely update 🦁

.........telling Grumpy he was a meany poopoo head.........

Well, quite.
🤣🤣🤣

Can I just say I'm no longer feeling that this thread is an emotionally safe space for me 🤣.

The whole of MN was denied to me for the last week, as MNHQ and I had a minor dispute. I was emotionally outraged. Sympathy, Grumpy.

I wasn't banned, oh no, not me

Oh no @TheShellBeach
Glad you are back

Oh you rebel, @TheShellBeach
What did you say to be banned?!!

I'd better not say it again or I'll be back on the MNHQ Want A Word With You list.

Sorry Grumpy

At least you are no longer the stripey one's enrichment anymore. Is it really that peaceful in your home now, or are your own fluffbutts plotting to keep you on your toes?

Being serious for a moment - banishing TC to the wilds of Scotland has been great. We can now leave windows and doors open and our cats are far more relaxed about going out than they were.

Gizmo just tried to swipe Linney's tail.

As Linney can jump and Gizmo cannot, he was unsuccessful. Linney leapt out of the window and Gizmo failed even to get on to the table.

We must get Gizmo on the Solensia now. He's hopeless at jumping even small distances.

Memo to self - wear gauntlets next week when putting Gizmo into his basket for his visit to the vet's.

I was back in work yesterday after six weeks off - DP is abroad so this fella was on his own. He was SO happy to see me when I got home, and even cried outside the bathroom door when I went for a wee. I don’t work on a Wednesday so we’ve had a nice day in the sun today. Look at his little hands!

He is so gorgeous!

Linney brought us in another dead bird this morning, before we got up. He kindly dropped it by Mr SB's slippers.
