Well it’s clear that I’m not favourite human when my mum is around! 😡

I'm sure Pen is just a bit preoccupied with training up her new member of staff. That or your mum is bribing her with chicken and Dreamies behind your back!

The face of a traitor! My mum is covered in her fur. And it’s the first time I’ve touched her all day! She is unrepentant.

My mum is upstairs fraternising with Pen. So I’m downstairs cuddling Mithril 😂

That's a lovely photo of her.

MissyPuds · 08/07/2025 11:25

Such a pretty girl!

Toddlerteaplease · 08/07/2025 11:52

I don’t think she’s a fan of hot weather, although the cooling mat I bought her is untouched. (Of course!)

she looks so happy and settled

Toddlerteaplease · 08/07/2025 21:07

She’s helping me write my dissertation by blowing snot on my laptop. Thanks pen.

She had blood round her bum last night, after having a poo fingers crossed she’s just had a hard poo and it’s caused a fissure. She’s done theatre before. Although this must be the longest we’ve stayed away from the vet. So who knows. She’s completely fine in herself. She wouldn’t let me look this morning though!

oh gosh, keeping my fingers crossed that Pen is OK.

Ellmau · 10/07/2025 21:52

Oh no, I hope she's OK.

Toddlerteaplease · 10/07/2025 22:05

Couldn’t see any more blood when I got home. Bum looks normal. The house is very hot though so she probably won’t sleep on the bed. So hopefully will get a more through look in the morning. She’s completely her usual self though.

Since her ladyship doesn’t appreciate her cool mat. I will make use of it.

Funny that, I bought one of those cooling mats for my old girl and ended up using it myself while she hogged the fan! Quite nice to put on your pillow at night.

MissyPuds · 11/07/2025 21:00

Here's a picture of the furry fan hogger!

@MissyPudsiscshe a Persian as well. She has similar marking to Pen.

OP posts:
MissyPuds · 11/07/2025 22:48

Yes, a long haired one. I lost her last year but she was about 15 so she did quite well for a Persian. Pen reminds me of her both in terms of colouring and personality which is why I am a bit of a Pen fangirl!

Toddlerteaplease · 12/07/2025 20:56

@MissyPudspost some more pics, I’d like to see her!

Toddlerteaplease · 12/07/2025 20:57

Was she a bossy madam like Pen?

Actually sitting on her cooling mat. I can’t believe it!

Hurrah, Pen on her cooling mat!

Photos of my late girl, Princess Pud Pud (known as Puds) as requested. She was an absolute beauty and she knew it. Vets and groomers would fall over themselves when they saw her and would tell me how she was the best behaved cat ever. They never believed me when I told them that if I tried to brush her, cut her toenails or administer meds I would be left with blood injuries!

And yes, she was bossy. She was a very shouty cat and I often thought she sounded like she was continuously listing all the ways in which I had failed to meet expectations. I realised the other day that I still sleep on the very edge of the bed as rolling into her 3/4 of the bed was met with a swift whip of the tail in the face or a kick in the face. She had me well trained.

Also like Pen, she managed to run up some pretty impressive vet bills over the years, particularly in the last year of her life. Worth every penny.

Despite making out that I was a barely adequate staff member, she did follow me around the house and I could never go away and leave her with a pet sitter for more than 1 week. She was a real character and made me laugh with her daft behaviour.
