Have bought Gizmo a doughnut bed. It can go in our bedroom, so that he can sleep next to Linney in comfort.

Bet he sleeps next to it!

I know it's a trap and I'd probably lose an arm, but I don't think I could resist stroking that fluffy tummy. Gizmo is a very handsome chap.

It's his little feetsies in that pic that I would find irresistible. There's something about cats soft little feet...

And yes I realise that they are just camouflage for lethal weaponry, but they are just so cute!

Just a gentle reminder that TC doesn't actually have 'little feetsies', he has murder mittens.

Add the adorable feet to the irresistible floofy tummies and we really don’t have a chance….

And the little soft bit at the bottom of their ears.

I don't care that the tiger would probably eat me, I'd still want to snuggle with him/her and kiss his/her fluffy tummy. I might give the murder mittens a swerve though!

Yes, very likely.

It'll be a sad waste of £13.56 if he ignores it.

He is, as DS2 rightly observed, "very bitey".

Gizmo's not going to need the vet appointment, but Linney has to go, to get his Solensia.

He's therefore sulking under the table because we haven't let him out this morning.

Linney, sulking under the table.

It's just possible that I may have pointed that out before you took him on as well 🤣

Hi people. May I join please? I've been lurking for ages, especially on the Thugcat threads. We're first-time cat-slaves to two rescue kitties, Hunter and Jack. Unfortunately (see photo) they spent too long in front of the fire this afternoon and have melted into one eight-legged super-cat. Oops.

RumNotRun · 15/10/2024 18:15

That is one very content melted 8 legged cat 😁

CatCurious · 15/10/2024 18:16

Yeah, but what happens when this monster gets hungry?? I'm scared....

JoanOgden · 15/10/2024 18:18

What a lovely cat, @CatCurious! It cam double up as a draught excluder.

CatCurious · 15/10/2024 18:20

Ha, yes! I do already miss having two cats, however.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 15/10/2024 18:24

Funnily enough CatCurious, it'll morph in to two mouths and two bellies again at dinner time 😂

TheShellBeach · 15/10/2024 18:41

Welcome @CatCurious and your joint and several cats.

Hello CatCurious! What a beautiful double kitten.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 15/10/2024 18:52

Welcome @CatCurious. Love the 8 legged beast 😁.

CatCurious · 15/10/2024 18:57

Thank you lovely cat-slaves!

Allergictoironing · 15/10/2024 19:18

I think something must be living in my kitchen. It's closed over night & when I'm out, but most of the rest of the time I can find Girlcat in there either sitting or crouching staring fixedly at small gap between the side of the washing machine & the kitchen units.

Been about a week or so - started out with her sitting beside the cooker (next wall, about a yard away) with the occasional deviation to the under stairs storage cupboard, but the last 4-5 days she's been rooted to her spot by the washing machine. Can't see any signs of rodent dirts or anything being nibbled so far, but it her case she may just be after an overconfident amorous house spider!

TheShellBeach · 15/10/2024 19:19

Linney's vet appointment was not without incident.

The bugger jumped down from the examination table and got stuck under a cabinet.

The vet had to get right down to floor level to extract him. It took her quite a while to grab him by the scruff of the neck because he kept wriggling free.

Then we couldn't figure out how to put the top back on his carrier.

When I finally made it back to the car, Mr SB was wondering why the appointment had taken so long.

Love seeing cats snuggled up! Beautiful black kitties too! There is a thread asking for pics of black cats, yours would make a great addition!
