......... as Gizmo and Linney almost reach their first anniversary, they reflect on the joys of living in the same hoose.

hello all I have been lurking and reading about all the fabulous cats for so long that I thought it would be rude not to join in so meet the fluffy clan, white cat is snow-be-wan, tortie is Padame, and fluffy black and white is Anakin. No prizes for guessing the naming theme. We would love to join all you fabulous cats and owners.

Benny is so cute my first cat was a ginger girl she was such a character

coastergirl · 12/05/2025 03:48

I've never been sure about the relationship between these boys. It's hard to tell whether they're fighting or playing. Tonight they've made me melt. Walter was asleep and Benny just went and flopped on him and snuggled in. 😍

Enjoy the concert (congrats to your dd). I love Mahler's music but always have to quote Educating Rita before ever listening to any 🤣.

Edited

The concert was fantastic.
You will have to remind me of the quote @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats . I have seen Educating Rita though!
DS and Herbie kept each other company and Herbie didn't catch any more birds at least.
Nice to see new cats @Fluffycat2906 !

'Wouldn't you just DIE without Mahler'
Delivered in a gloriously OTT way by Maureen Lipman in the film.

Pianoaholic · 12/05/2025 07:32

Oh yes!

Breadcat24 · 12/05/2025 11:02

It was amazing. I am going to listen to all the Mahler symphonies I have on cd over the next few weeks.
Nothing like hearing it live though.

@stormsandsunshine I loved that picture of Snowcat.
Do you have a stripy blanket for Stripey to practise her camouflage on?

Walter looks like he's getting squashed there.

Introducing
Alfred and Albert - aka Fred and Bert

they only arrived last night, after a very long drive

the grey is Fred and the black is Bert, currently hidden under dd's bed tho I can see they have eaten and someone has used the litter tray.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne

' only ' 5

Billy is a teenager, and is all black

Boris is 5, ginger and white

and whilst Boris loves Billy, one day Boris would be on his own as we lost his brother Gary, also ginger and white, just a few weeks ago.
( won't mention Purrfect Pete who we lost suddenly 2 years ago, he was 5 and I had acquired him through a colleague, we only had him 6 months
nor will I mention Fearsome Frank I gained him as a result of a Facebook plea. He was also a teenager but of unknown years, and we only had him a year. )

Timmy arrived last week, he was on his own as siblings already found homes, he was local-ish
and I saw him before I ' found ' Fred - dd always wanted a grey.

However Fred has his brother Bert and I decided to have both :) and Fred and Bert were many miles away ( Coventry to South Devon ) but probably not as far as Gizmo was for you ? :)

Been a few a couple of years since we last had 5, I feel we poss had 8 at one time.

CatsonPollock · 12/05/2025 14:14

Adding the Pollocks' welcome to the new cats! All very excellent indeed.

Padme looks like she's just been introduced to Darth Sidious@Fluffycat2906 😸

@OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon Fred and Bert have landed on their feet - former "new boy" Timmy will show them the ropes!

Stripey was doing an excellent job yesterday lying on DD1's bed in a pile of stuffed toys pretending to be a stuffed toy. I genuinely did a double take when I realised she was there.

She is a master of disguise then. Doesn't need a blanket!
