Flounders or Flouncers? The Excellent Cats continue their important debate

[TheShellBeach]

Welcome to everyone, old and new!

Flatfish are particularly encouraged to join us.

😂😂😂 Oh yes, I really do! I have put fleece blankets over a couple of doorways to try to prevent draughts. Lexter has been acting like I've bricked up the doors, even though he has seen the others coming through the curtain and I've shown him. Raven has been sitting in the hallway crying like she's been abandoned.

Vixie hissed at me earlier for no reason then spent ages putting and trying to give head boops like she was trying to say sorry for making the wrong noise.

They are all super special but they do make me laugh, except when Toad cuts me like he did earlier.

Newbie here, may I join you all?! We adopted this little lady 3 weeks ago and she has settled wonderfully well. We love her so much already!

We let her out for the first time yesterday and she was gone for an over an hour! Then appeared as if she'd been coming and going from this house for years 😄 cats are SO clever aren't they.

Hello @turtledovelove and welcome.
What's your cat's name?

Welcome @ladymalfoy45 and @turtledovelove You both have beautiful cats 😻

Leroy has spent the day doing the latter 🙄

Thank you for the new fred thread @TheShellBeach

I love when they put their paw over their face like that @AmeliaEarache. Very useful appendage is a tail - a cushion, an eye mask, and a useful visual aid to show stupid humans whether you’re happy, curious, annoyed or whatever. Socks’ tails is often like a question mark whereas Matt’s does not assume that particular position. Socks’ tail is also long and thin like her and Matt’s is thicker, but then he is a great deal fatter. Who knew cats tails could be so fascinating?! 😂

Thank you! I've really enjoyed reading the posts on this page and seeing the photos of all your lovely cats , in the lead up to getting her.

The name Maui seemed most fitting given she is an Arabian Mau 😍

Don’t worry, you’re not going blind, that was earlier in the week - it brought a friend yesterday but I was in my nightie so didn’t think the neighbours deserved that!

Louie’s been dancing all day. If anyone wonders why he favours that spot, of course it’s his food cupboard.

@Judystilldreamsofhorses I keep showing the tribe Louie dancing in the hope it'll inspire them but...no.

I wondered where Socks was. I just walked into the front room and a little head popped up from the new baby’s carrycot. DD2 will go mad about the fur! 😂

Forgot pic

Benny's tail has a tiny kink right at the very end. I wonder how it happened. I've had him since he was a kitten.

Just had an incredibly lovely moment with Benny. My eldest (9) is autistic, very able but quite anxious. He's never been great with animals, but Benny has changed all that. They have the most incredible bond. C came downstairs for a drink and both cats had been comatose on the cat tree for over an hour, completely ignoring me. Benny heard C's voice and jumped down, chirruping. Straight over to him for cuddles and fuss. Standing on his back legs to push his head into C's hand. It's amazing

Two of the most beautiful pet posts in the whole world, ever, in sequence!

Prince sleeps Velcroed to my back. Physio tomorrow. 😀

Ouch!

@RumNotRun I meant to say, the scratch looks sore but I love your tattoos!

Back using my "cat name" - was caught in my "non-cat" one on the last thread...not sure why I bothered changing now 😸Thanks for the new thread!

Mama Cat and Mini Cat in their look-out posts.

Looks like Gabapentin Plan B is NBG (no good) - Tobias turned his nose up at Lik E Lix last night. Think it will have to be trying to chop fresh chicken as finely as I can then mould it into a ball round the pills & hope it doesn't disintegrate, or grind them up as small as possible and hope he takes them with his food & Girlcat doesn't steal too much.

Now people can understand why I plan & trial things so much - gives me plenty of time to work out alternatives!

Hello, after fostering for my local rescue for 2 years I’ve just adopted Kitty. Although I’m pretty sure she adopted me first. She’s five, had her final litter at the rescue & is loving life now she’s finally free from breeding. Can we join please?

Hello @EmpressaurusDeiGatti ! what a cute kitty! I love a good rescue story 😻
Is Kitty her name?

Hello @EmpressaurusDeiGatti ! what a cute kitty! I love a good rescue story 😻
Is Kitty her name?

Oops don't know why it posted twice!

Hello @Pudmyboy! Yes, her official name’s Kitty although she’s got plenty of others. Including Kitty-Bella for obvious reasons 😻

She's beautiful 😍 Is she on the slightly smaller size?

Enjoying everyone’s pictures and updates
Finlay is keeping me company whilst WFH today - he is very good and knows if you put his slipper on the desk that I’m busy - applies to Lego sessions too!

No, I think that’s the perspective - she’s fairly hefty! Although she had her first zoomies last night since I’ve had her & she’s really getting into chasing toys.
