..............and prepare instead to track down the Easter Bunny, anticipating a delicious snack.

Pa discovered Linney asleep and squashed into a plant pot today.

I nearly didn't post this picture because I've been telling Pa to clean the outside of the pots for ages and he has ignored my instructions

That looks cosy and I'm sure a sprinkling of soil is the perfect accessory to go with his glorious white fur 😄

Meanwhile, inside the house, Gizmo jumps on to the mantlepiece, to admire his reflection and pose for a photograph.

He’s very handsome. Does he want you to send it to Sybil?

He's still muttering about marrying Suzy.

Sybil was his true love...

Raven says she would throw her hat in the ring for Gizmo's attention but she is too lazy. (Also she's grumpy as heck so doesn't like any other cats).

Kitty says there’s only room for one in her box so Gizmo wouldn’t fit.

Good grief, neither would any other cat, not just the beleaguered Gizmo.

Well, there is that. But she says there isn’t room in this box either.

Introducing Timmy...

Hymns in Minor Keys & the Russian Easter Overture - the Excellent Cats ignore Culture.....
OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 06/05/2025 10:56

Timmy arrived yesterday, 8 weeks old.
( no longer wearing the red collar just incase of any accidents )
very gradually being introduced to the ' family ' i.e. 2 adult females - me and dd, 4 dogs, and 2 cats.
Thus sleeping / fed etc in dd's bedroom for now, has met the other 2 cats - our Billy was very interested in the kitten food ! and Boris and Timmy have had a sniff.
won't be meeting the dogs yet, as they can get silly re cats, so they will be on leads until they stop being silly.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 06/05/2025 11:01

Still hoping to have Alfred and Albert next week, just working out the travel arrangement as they are actually 6 hours ish away and I am recovering from an op and can't drive far / at all.

and my logic is, Fred and Bert are already bonded, Boris is missing his brother so hopefully he will bond with Timmy just incase he doesn't get to bond so much with Fred and Bert ?

Having 3 kittens will be...lovely :)

Breadcat24 · 06/05/2025 12:36

Wow he is lovely!
That is a lot of cattitude to have in one house

coastergirl · 06/05/2025 13:04

Timmy is gorgeous 😍

Aw what a gorgeous kitten @OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon

That's a very cute kitten @OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon.
Three kittens sounds an even better idea 😺

RumNotRun · 06/05/2025 15:01

Oh he is adorable! I am very jealous.

RumNotRun · 06/05/2025 15:03

Vixen is presenting her tummy for strokes if anyone is brave enough. It's not usually a trap, unless she is feeling spicy.

Love your kitten @OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon
I have a soft spot for black and white cats!

We took Linney for his Solensia today, and when we came back, the elderly man who calls Gizmo The Broon One was sitting outside in the sun.

We waved to him and he asked if we had The Broon One or The White One in the carrier.

🤣🤣 he's from the East Coast, of course.

When we told him that it was The White One he said the following:

"Aye, I seen The Broon One going up and doon, then he went roond and roond, then up and doon again."

(The Broon One was asleep in his donut when we got back. All that going "roond and roond and up and doon" must have tired him out)
