Kitty’s chosen where she’s sleeping tonight. She agrees that you can never have too many naps, Rum.

Gizmo also keeps opening the drawers under the bed, but as they don't contain jumpers, he loses interest although he leaves them open for us to trip up over

I’m sure Kitty would love to be able to open them herself but as with the back door, she has to come & get me.

I cooked some beef in the air fryer last night and then left the empty fryer open to cool down. This morning I went into the kitchen and saw this. (Excuse the mess, I really CBA to tidy up last night 😳)

Sorry,I forgot to say this is gorgeous. I wish I had my old cat's paw prints to tattoo.

Not at all guilty! They usually jump down when I catch them doing something they shouldn't but he just looked at me and went back to licking the air fryer, even when I tapped him on the shoulder. He's such a little devil.

Kitty’s favourite thing about Easter was apparently a cork. She supervised lunch from her eyrie & then came down to grab it.

Someone has offered me a cat but I don't know what to do 😿 Kloppy is missing his 'brother' and is desperate for a playmate but I don't know if he'd accept a new cat into the household. He got on well with Woody but he was the senior cat and Kloppy always respected him.

This other cat is a ten month old neutered male, semi feral but used to being handled and very affectionate apparently. I don't know if this cat would adapt well, I'd have to keep him indoors for two weeks. Kloppy was a street cat when I got him, nine months old and fitted in straight away - used the litter tray immediately and was so happy to find his family but I don't know if this cat would do that?

My friend has offered to let me meet this little boy tomorrow, what shall I do?

Never look a gift cat in the mouth.

I'd try it and see if it works.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 20/04/2025 20:27

Give it a go @PollyCreo

The Ways of Cats are incalculable.

Sometimes they get on and sometimes they don't. You'll only know if you give it a try.

Aaargh you're both right. My friend describes him as a 'Russian Blue' so he must be a grey boy.

PollyCreo · 20/04/2025 20:41

We had this discussion on Friday over drinks so I might have been a little more open to persuasion 😂

Well you shouild definitely never look a grey gift cat in the mouth 😹.
I never would.

PollyCreo · 20/04/2025 20:50

I've had a grey tabby and two grey and white cats but never a pure grey. I might go and meet this boy tomorrow @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats and report back (with photos)

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 20/04/2025 20:53

My first cat was a solid grey mog. Had three to date - I've always tried to make sure I have one among the clowder.
Can't wait for the photos 😁
