I spent ages last night trying to think of this thread title.

@TheShellBeach
hard day hope you can chill without cat sick tonight

Pudmyboy · 08/11/2024 20:18

Poor Shell family! Really hope you all recover soon!
It does make for hilarious reading, though doubt you saw the funny side at the time (and maybe not yet a while)...
Hope you did no lasting damage Shell🤕

The photo of Four is just because he’s adorable and has climbed to the very top of the cat tree.
I put Cat One in the playpen to finish his million dollar digestive food and he was unable to figure out how to get out. Here he is waiting patiently for me to help him out.
And Cat Three being a very good brother.
There is no photo of Two because she is staying downstairs in the Cat Four-free zone.

That is one pretty clowder!

Oh no Shell, that sounds really stressful for everyone! I hope that all cats and humans involved manage a quiet night and feel better tomorrow.

That sounds like the nightmare car journey from hell @TheShellBeach I hope Cleo and Sebastian settle in quickly (and your daughter of course). Hope you haven't given yourself too much of an injury.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 08/11/2024 21:49

Hope you and your extended (human and feline) family are all on mend now Shell.

Gizmo has just wandered in, looking weary.

I daresay we'll never find out where he was.

I have bruised knees but I think I got off lightly.

Cleo is now on DD's bed. The two cats have explored their new living quarters and eaten some Felix and Purina Salmon and Rice, which was kindly donated by Linney and Gizmo after I accidentally ordered everything twice on Amazon last month.

Ooh, some months ago, DD was filmed on Series 13 of 999.

She'd been a call handler for London Ambulance for four years.

We're just watching it now.

Cat four is gorgeous! He's so small and fluffy, he's making me broody for kittens.

Pictures of kittens always make me broody for kittens.

Fred is pressed up against my leg, purring his little braincell out. Lexter is next to him, less purry and less loving but still adorable.

Shell, I hope things are better tomorrow for you and your family.

RumNotRun · 09/11/2024 00:27

My sister has been giving me updates on what she's been doing now I have gone. She's at my favourite restaurant tonight, a place called Chimi Churri that does the best steak I have ever had in my life. Plus the weather is 28° with a light breeze. In Cardiff it's 8°. Sigh.

I swore at the time that I would never adopt kittens again and would only go for grown up cats. After 10 years my brain seems to have forgotten all the stressful what on earth are you doing now? moments and I find myself window shopping on the Cats Protection adoption pages. I've managed to resist so far.

Cat Three and Four have spent half an hour chasing each other up and down the stairs. Both now sound asleep.
Really happy that it’s working out so well.
We’ve put Four in his room tonight and Two is on the bed purring. Applied a squeezy treat to Two during an introduction to Four earlier and it calmed her right down.
Helping my friend take Four’s mother to the vet Tuesday, and Four’s two siblings are coming for a sleepover.

Sebastian on DD2's bed today.
He's quite an old man now and spends most of his time asleep.

A very handsome old man.

And Cleo has enjoyed exploring her new abode.

Last year, she disappeared for over four months, and DD thought she'd never see her again - but she eventually returned, very thin and bedraggled.

She's always been a dainty little cat, but very, very feisty.

When DD first got her, Cleo tour a bit of skirting board off the wall, searching for an alleged mouse.
🤣

Oh aren’t they both gorgeous!
Welcome to the Excellent Cats Sebastian and Cleo!

Boone has the correct attitude to the weather today.
He’s got quite the snore on ❤️

Feisty and scarily strong!

Cleo has beautiful markings, Sebastian looks very relaxed, both happy in new abode 🙂

RumNotRun · 09/11/2024 16:51

Welcome Cleo and Sebastian.

The beastlings are content today. I have had some Amazon deliveries so the cats have two big boxes to play and sleep in. I have also finally got a new heated blanket so will be putting that on my bed shortly. I think Fred will love it.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 09/11/2024 16:56

And another welcome to Cleo and Sebastian. You can never have too many excellent cats 🐈.

Breadcat24 · 09/11/2024 18:00

welcome Cleo and Sebastian please do not dismantle or puke on your new house

learieonthewildmoor · 09/11/2024 18:00

My goodness, Cleo has unusual markings. What a beautiful cat!
