Ring Out, Wild Bells! As 2025 approaches, the Excellent Cats raise their game with a discussion on Tennyson's poetry

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

And while the cats are thus engaged, their human slaves are still finishing the turkey and Christmas pud, and idly placing bets on whether or not Kitty will use her new cat tree.

That's her tail 😁 We have all defrosted now thankfully. It was so nice to get into my bed with the heated blanket on last night. It was very cosy. I will never take electricity for granted again!

I haven't got any Anglo Bubblies left, nor any Juicy Fruits.

😥

Linney posing for me this morning.

This is the best 1st world problem I've ever seen on MN 🤣.
Whatever you do, don't raid the Dreamies.

Linney is looking gorgeous as always.

I get them on Amazon Subscribe and Save.

They're not due yet.

I could just order some anyway...........

Right, I've just ordered a box of 240.

Great news!
I think we will all sleep more easily tonight 🤣

No idea why @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne but I'm reminded of this Catherine Tate sketch.

That's the kind of "can do" attitude that we like!

I developed a similar addiction to ice pops/tip tops a few months after I gave up smoking. At the end of the summer I was worried that I'd have to go cold turkey as Poundland stopped stocking them. Thankfully I got a LOT discounted as they were selling them off and I found out that Morrisons and Tesco still stock them throughout the winter.

FWK has just informed me that Cedric and Doris are three years old today.
They grow up so quickly 😹.

I can't believe they're three years old! Did FWK get them when they were very young? It doesn't feel like three years that you first introduced us to those gorgeous chubby faces.

She got them when they were about 10 weeks from memory. 6th April 2022 was my first post about them.
Frightening.

I find it more worrying that our 'kittens' are seven in a couple of weeks time 🙀.

Oh look at those faces!

I've never seen a pair of kittens where it's so obvious who has the brain cells 😄

So true 🤣.

The grey one looks just like the I can has cheezburger cat 😄

I've always thought Cedric (the grey one) was a bit 'challenged'. 🤣

Whereas Doris is an evil genius...

How’s your DH, @Esgaroth?

Thanks for asking ❤️ He is feeling OK now but they don't know why he experienced the symptoms he did so he is still in hospital while they try to get to the bottom of it.

I'd like to say Kettle misses him but I think actually he's pleased to have 'his' spot on the sofa back without a great big man taking up the whole thing.

My sister’s DH works away a lot & when he’s not there, their dog gets his space in the bed.

The dog’s happy to see the DH back until it’s bedtime

Speaking of beds - this is a cropped version of the best pic from Kitty’s photo shoot.

Aww, so pretty, and I love your bedding

That picture of Kitty is glorious.
She's so pretty.

Well obviously that's why I ordered all the Bubblies.

I wouldn't like to think that any person on this thread would stay awake, worrying that I'd run out of bubblegum.

Kitty agrees that she’s pretty & says thank you!
