Lap dances, strippers and punch-ups - the Excellent Cats arrange a stag party

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Well, the boys among them are making plans.

The lady cats are having a spa fortnight in Italy.

Bills for flights, accommodation, food, booze, medical insurance and legal fees (not to mention a fund for bribing officials at Ljubljana Prison) are allegedly being sent to an unmonitored email address.

Great news for you and Tobias @Allergictoironing

Raven is the only one of the tribe who is "extra cuddly". I think it's partly because she seems to prefer dry food which apparently is quite high in carbs (sigh, carb addiction runs in the family!) She still has the zoomies regularly though so at least she's getting some exercise.

Toad is currently shouting at me as I am cooking sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, and chorizo (weird combination but it's lush) in the air fryer and I wouldn't let him have any chorizo. Apparently he is STARVING and only chorizo will stop him from wasting away.

That sounds a nice dinner @RumNotRun.
Herbie doesn't do zoomies very often, but after the salmon skin theft just now, DH chased him around to "give him some exercise". So maybe DH can be herbie's personal trainer from now on. Good luck with that, Herbie is probably thinking.

Great news @Allergictoironing , another one hoping for a cancellation so you get seen sooner

Photos are very deceptive Finlay looks very chunky tonight whilst completely crashed out - truth is he’s not even 4kg and burns it all off catting about
Back to top of local Tractive leader board today - despite being untracked for a day or so due to losing his collar again!!

I've just been told that there is no room for me in my bed tonight.

🤣🤣🤣

I've just been told that Linney's food bowl is empty again.

Linney looks quite wistful there!

Having said upthread that Herbie rarely does zoomies, he has done half an hour of whizzing madly around the house this morning!
Cats have to be contrary don't they.
It's half term, so I was having a lie in, therefore his breakfast was half an hour late.
The service here is terrible!

Kitty’s new favourite thing is a tin of cannellini beans. God knows why but she’s been rubbing against it & purring.

Wonder if she would eat any if they were offered?!

Toxic to cats, apparently, so the lid’s staying firmly on until I want to cook with them!

She’s been whizzing around a bit this morning too. I wonder if it’s to do with the weather improving?

I do love Herbie.

The Stray. Complete with "bed sweat" from the heating. She can't decide whether to have 5 more minutes or whether to bully me into letting her out.

And in the time it's taken me to type this post she's started snoring. Guess the 5 more minutes won 😂

This cat caught a train to Waterloo all by herself. I wonder if a cat really could sneak onto a plane too?

Edited to add 2 examples of cats who actually did sneak onto planes.

Frankie has decided he loves it when I have soft boiled eggs (air fried eggs really).

Completely off topic: how do you boil an egg in an air fryer?

Just put the eggs into the basket and then cook for about 7-8 minutes for soft "boiled", depending on your air fryer. I do 8 minutes at 190 and then put them in a bowl of cold water while I make the toast.

Frankie discovered yesterday that he likes them. Today he was emboldened and kept trying to eat the egg before I had finished. I may have to start cooking an extra one for him so that I can have my breakfast in peace!

Leanora enjoying the sun

Linney loves eggs too.

@KeziaOAP That is one fluffy cat!

She is 🐱 - she loves being brushed, even if in a different room she senses when the brush comes out!

Instead of sitting on my seat, Gizmo decided to lie on the floor in front of it tonight, and refused to move.

........ even when I asked nicely.

So I still couldn't sit down.
Well, not without treading on him.
🤣

Had to get up at the crack of sparrow fart this morning for work (on my way now to sunny Warrington 😭).
Cats were displeased at having their slumber rudely interrupted.
I'm sure there is more space on our bed - I think we may need more cats 🤣
