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

It's proving very popular on Vinted.

Luckily I've managed to prise it from Gizmo's clutches.

Pre-loved and pre-clawed!

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne
I hope all your listings state 'from a pet free home' 😹

Ha ha ha.

Not only that, Pa Broon smokes 40 a day.

I ought to add some sort of health warning on everything I sell.

I might need to put a cat health warning on my 100% cocoa chocolate.

Kitty was more or less begging for a piece just now. Obviously she got no closer than smelling the (closed) packet & it’s now safely shut in the cupboard, but she’s clearly got very odd tastes for a cat.

We've just got back with Sebastian.

He's got six sutures which will need to be removed in ten days. The lump was excised and sent off for histology. The vet wasn't sure what it was, but Sebastian seems well in himself, so hopefully it won't be anything sinister.

He's had two teeth removed.

He was really happy to see DD.
And we're all hoping that he doesn't start picking at the wound. It's in exactly the wrong place for a Cone of Shame.

Oh wow, I've been insulted on Vinted.

I offered someone £1.80 for her £3 cardigan (which is well within the guidelines) and she wrote:

TRAMP JUST PAY THE £3!

🤣🤣🤣

If it's on the back of his neck I suppose there's little you can do to stop him if he does decide to bother at it apart from maybe a big plaster or perhaps some kind of soft cone. Hopefully he'll leave it be! And hopefully it wasn't anything to worry about anyway. Sounds like he's been a very brave boy - extra dreamies in order.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 25/03/2025 18:36

🤣 So I reported her and she was banned from Vinted.

It makes a change for me to be the cause of someone else getting banned from somewhere

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 25/03/2025 19:20

Ha! Someone's just bought the green garment which Gizmo was sticking his claws into earlier.

I hope the buyer never reads this thread.
🤣

Isn’t it difficult to protect them from the stench? Or is he very disciplined about only smoking outside?

We’d need to know the odds.

Kitty is practising poses for having her portrait painted.

A bit like Manet’s Olympia !

Yes!

She’s discussing the guest list for her birthday party with Molly’s Mouse, but her presents from me - catnip & cat grass for the balcony - are going to have to wait until it’s a bit warmer, I think.

Happy birthday Kitty

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 26/03/2025 07:48

And a happy birthday to Kitty from all at the Grumpy household too.

EmpressaurusKitty · 26/03/2025 07:51

Thank you! It’s on Friday - she has a present from my sister & her dog to unwrap & there will be lick-e-lix. There would be a tuna cake if I thought she’d enjoy it but I know she wouldn’t!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 26/03/2025 08:37

The Grumpy household breakfast table. We are joined by these two every morning 😁.

It looks like you have been judged and found wanting.

It does rather. What are you doing wrong, Grumpy????

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 26/03/2025 10:12

I thought all cats judged us?
Please don't tell me that it's only me who gets judged. 🤣

Pianoaholic · 26/03/2025 10:20

Herbie judged me unfavourably this morning when I stopped him stalking a pheasant that was coming down the road!
We have a new housing development being built on what was farmland nearby and I think they have been displaced.

Why have you got a packet of spark plugs on your breakfast table?

JoanOgden · 26/03/2025 11:22

Looking at the state of your breakfast table, I think it's quite easy to see why they're judging you Grin

RumNotRun · 26/03/2025 11:38

My new kitchen bin arrived today (the excitement!). It arrived in a very large cardboard box which I thought the tribe would like, but they appear to be suspicious of it and just keep circling it and sniffing at it.
