My carer arrived a couple of days ago and put his hat and bag on the table, he turned around and Madame had claimed his hat as her own.

Definitely always keen to see a Cat in a Hat! Or generally cats anywhere! 😀 Thank you OP

That's one up on the classic "cat in a box" 😂

afluffle · 12/12/2024 09:24

Lol if i fits i sits

Berga · 12/12/2024 09:24

That's definitely her hat now. She is gorgeous!

😁 Why do they do this? My cat appears drawn to sit on anything new or unfamiliar. I came across a Union Jack t-shirt that one of the dc had worn for punk fancy dress many years ago. I laid it on the spare bed (excuse hideous duvet cover!) to take a photo to put on WhatsApp in case one of them wanted to claim it before it went to the charity shop - no takers except…..

They are strange in their little ways.

We thought our foster kitten had escaped the cat-proof fence and searched frantically for her for about an hour, only to discover that she’d just decided to have a nap in the lawnmower basket 😂

She’s been with us three years now (funny sort of foster 🙄) and still does stupid shit on a daily basis!

Cat One would have tried to get in the bag.

Ellmau · 13/12/2024 19:14

Well, who doesn't?

Pixiedust1234 · 13/12/2024 19:26

I couldn't see the hat at first. It's a purrfect fit 😂

Loving all the photos! 😍

( waves @sashh 👋)

Aww I thought your cat would be wearing the hat .

We once had occasion to have a police forensics officer round the house after a break-in. He left his case open on my living room floor...

@slightlydistrac ,
Ah the forensic team will find evidenced feline catus situs.
It's quite a common occurrence, there is nothing to be concerned about. 😆

For anyone who wanted the hat to be on her head, here you go.

She is less than impressed.

She's not that intelligent. She seems to forget things as soon as they have happened.

I see he's fragile and should be handled with care.

murasaki · 15/12/2024 16:19

Well he should definitely be handled with care (looks at scratches on wrists...).
