To be fair to Grumpy, I don’t think it would be possible to take a bad photo of the beauteous Sybil

(also members of the grey cat fan club , our dear boy who lived to 20 was a pure grey mog)

This was my lovely Raki when he was a sweet innocent kitten. He was a big cat when he grew up and he lost his stripes, but he was still very handsome. He ended up living in with an old woman on the next street. He visited her a couple of times and she thought he was a stray because he ate warm roast chicken that she offered him. I did let her know he had a home but I think Raki decided being the centre of attention and getting roast chicken daily was too good an opportunity to turn down.

This cat just came up in my news feed. I thought I'd share.
Zeus - a 13kg Maine Coon. That is nearly 2.5 Basils 🙀

WOW.

EmpressaurusKitty · 30/04/2025 17:14

WOW.

That was exactly my thought too 🤣

Herbie thinks that photo should come with a trigger warning @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats .
He is feeling most inferior!

At what point do you start to worry about the cat eating you?

EmpressaurusKitty · 30/04/2025 18:37

You’d need a super super king-size bed. And one hell of a cat tree.

HumanToCatBeasties · 30/04/2025 19:13

That can't be real surely? Maybe that cat just has a very tiny human. If that sat on you you'd really be incapusscitated!

If you photoshopped out the fence Herbie could claim to be as big as a house.

I've heard Herbie claims to be as big as a Stately Home... 😹

Anyone here remember Obie? He could give that cat a run for his money!

Defiantly41 · 30/04/2025 20:25

I do remember Obie … and his sister? I thought there were two

My friend's kitten, Bramble.
He's only six months old.

How are your cats coping with the hot weather? Finlay is very grumpy! He came home around 5 this morning and returned to his furry house until 7 ish this evening and after eating 2 full sachets of Sheba in under 5 minutes decided it was cooling down enough to venture out

PollyCreo · 30/04/2025 22:28

I bought a cat cave from Lidl last year, it has sat there unused and last week I thought hmmm, I'm getting rid of it. Until.....

We're still waiting for double digit temperatures unfortunately. Almost there but no danger of overheating cats 😄

You're so lucky. We're about to enter summer here (Med). Kloppy is v heavy and cuddly and Rosie is very clingy - both make my hot flushes worse 🥵

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 30/04/2025 22:52

Ours seem to be making the most of the hot weather by snoozing for most of the day but being very active at dawn and dusk. Lenny is clearly enjoying it so much that he hasn't bothered to come home tonight. Dirty stop out. 🐈‍⬛

JaceLancs · 30/04/2025 23:38

@PollyCreo always the case!
Finlay loves his house in winter and summer
DD cat Presley has the same one ❤️

JaceLancs · 30/04/2025 23:40

Trying again!
