Please tell me someone else has thought that an eight-legged cat would be an octopuss….

And no - I didn't think of it.

@CatCurious are you sure you didn't take that photo with a panoramic lens?

Hmm, it could be a lesser spotted black push-me-pull-you...

Ah this reminds me of this glorious photo:

Oh that really is a glorious photo. Can you imagine the tummy fluff fun you could have away from the bite-y end Grin

Has TCs bloodied foot stopped making a mess everywhere yet? I wonder what caused it.

RumNotRun · 16/10/2024 09:47

There is a cuddle puddle on my sofa this morning. I am jealous that I have to work and so cannot be part of the sleeping and snuggling.

Aw, cosy.

LostCats · 16/10/2024 10:27

Rum, is that your new heated blanket? 😁

Welcome @CatCurious! and our very first 8 legged cat!! 🐈‍⬛

RumNotRun · 16/10/2024 11:53

@LostCats It kind of is. I searched Amazon for heated throws, saw this one at an amazing low price considering that it's king sized so I bought it. When it arrived I discovered that the reason it was so cheap is because it's not a heated throw, it's just a throw. A very luxurious and soft throw admittedly. That'll teach me to read the description before buying things!

LostCats · 16/10/2024 11:54

The cats seem to be very grateful though so that’s a win!

JoanOgden · 16/10/2024 12:23

Oh what a lovely photo! I want to cuddle up with them too 😍

It's still oozing occasionally.

But as he tends to lie with his feet in the air, I got a good look at it this morning.

It's a graze, not infected, doesn't seem to have any foreign bodies in it, and his claws are all there (as Mr SB discovered when he got up and foolishly tried to get into the kitchen past Mr. G).

I think we were right, that he did it when scrabbling up to the garden wall. He misses his target when he jumps, and does his best with his back legs to get to wherever he's aiming for.

Poor old Guillermo. He's having a well deserved nap on our bed, on a towel which I placed there to save the white duvet cover.

love the way he curls up his front paws!

RumNotRun · 16/10/2024 14:59

He looks so sweet and innocent. If you weren't aware of his personality from the tales (tails?) on here, you could be forgiven for thinking he's a big fur ball that would love nothing more than being picked up and cuddled on your lap for hours.

Breadcat24 · 16/10/2024 15:35

i would risk it Gizmo is adorable. And I do not bleed much.

I do, though.
I've got a clotting disorder. Honestly!

DS2 brought us a scratchcard.

There seems to be a cat called Gizmo on it.

And I do mean "brought" because he got it from the shop and came to our house with it.

Although actually, he bought it, too.

Love the term 'cuddle puddle '!😻

RumNotRun · 16/10/2024 20:44

The cuddle puddle is getting even more adorable, although I am a tad worried that Lexter is going to suffocate!

Woot woot!! Wonder if he will slither out of this in the same way as his pyramid one. Good to hear his foot is only grazed but sorry to hear that MrSB found out the hard way that those claws were okay 😱

Rum - that might be a very cheap "heated" throw but your bosses seem to think it was worth every single penny. Lovely photos!
