Oddly Gizmo never used this one - ours love it.

Friend with Kittens. Despite the fact that they are now three years old.

We still refer to Karl and Lenny as 'the kittens' here. They're six and a half. 😹

Gizmo is a very good boy using his bed properly.

Thanks for the photos @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats Poor Cedric still looks bemused. Also, aren't everyone's cats always still kittens? Mine will always be my kittens, no matter how old they get. Frederick and Frankenstein will always be the babies when I discuss them with Toad and Lexter even though they're two yrs old and Frederick is the same size as Toad/Lex.

Basil and Sybil only stopped being 'the kittens' when Karl and Kenny arrived.
It's a generational thing 🤣.

Scritten Kitten is five years old. DH keeps telling me she's not a kitten any more. So I will tell him the Litter Tray Collective agree a cat is still a kitten until one gets another cat .
I don't hold out much hope this tenuous reverse psychology will persuade him that more cats are needed.
Oh. I'm weird because I bury my face in DCs tummy when she's stretched out lugubrious. Allegedly.

ladymalfoy45 · 17/10/2024 04:03

Sometimes I could nibble her ears.

Not at all weird. Those floofy tummies are made to be adored.

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 17/10/2024 07:30

Kitty’s made a tent. So this is what those underbed drawers were actually designed for.

@EmpressaurusDeiGatti oh yes. Just for the convenience and comfort of cats.

See also the rest of the bed, sofas and cardboard boxes.

@ladymalfoy45 that's what Vixen does to Toad, except in her case it's more of a sucking his ears as she only has a few teeth. He doesn't even react when she does it, just lets her get on with it.

Incidentally not sure if I have previously said this, but I bought the cats the "Kind of a big dill" pickle toy after seeing how much Shady and Paws love theirs. It is a massive hit with the tribe. Lexter gives it his seal of approval (and thankfully hasn't tried to wee on it like he did with the catnip chili pepper)

Does Gizmo have any other expression when awake?

He can look appealing when he wants something

I read that look at "get off your lazy duff and feed me, you useless hooman".

Pudmyboy · 17/10/2024 20:45

Ah you see I thought that was his 'I'll kill you later when you are not looking' expression!

Pudmyboy · 17/10/2024 20:46

But he is a handsome devil!

Pudmyboy · 17/10/2024 20:49

For a proper dead-eye see this from another thread on The Litter Tray, such a splendid image of scorn for a human!

It's from Expressions of noble disappointment please , a thread started in April: where has the year gone!!!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 17/10/2024 21:09

From the TC archive - another shot of him pretending to be appealing.

If I knew white cats were luminous like spooky little ghosts, I may have been tempted to get one before.
