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

I'm out for an early morning walk and just met a lovely NMC. She had an absolutely fantastic tail, it was like a feather with a parting down the middle and floof erupting from each side. I didn't get a very good photo because the little madam wouldn't keep still.

Wow.

I have a local NMC who looks like Kettle.

I live in an area with lots of cats which is great, but hardly any of them want to be friends. Fluffy tail, however, wanted to follow me and keep getting strikes and fuss 😁

strikes
Please say that was a typo!!
(I know it is, just teasing)

RumNotRun · 21/06/2025 11:52

Oops! That's what happens when I try to walk and type 😁 Yes, I definitely meant strokes not strikes!

Breadcat24 · 21/06/2025 12:55

@RumNotRun Excellent NMC!
I have failed you all as I had a new NMC in the garden- big fluffy thing almost black tabby with white front. Went to get phone for a picture and Breadcat started yowling and saw it off! Most unusual as she is usually a scaredy puss

Girlcat doing her impression of being run over by a steamroller today - her favorite position in very hot weather. Nose to bum (so ignoring stretched out legs & tail) 22-23 inches long

Allergic, we need one of Tobias.

@Judystilldreamsofhorses we need one of Louie.

Everyone if your cat has been missed out please remind me.

And Shady (and Ollie?) if Shady’s mum is still on this thread?

Pianoaholic · 21/06/2025 16:33

I am very happy with the three (!) of Herbie. Thank you @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne .
My sister has just moved house and is pleased to find loads of NMCs near her. She has a lovely tortoiseshell visiting!

RumNotRun · 21/06/2025 18:03

Frank has firmly claimed the bath as his own.

Sister has also reported signs of mice and has caught a few in humane traps.
I told her she should get her own cat.

JoanOgden · 21/06/2025 20:27

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne could you do Joancat? Possibly the lurking one...

Very hard to get a decent Tobias pic these days without Girlcat in it - when she's awake he follows her about everywhere. True Love I think!

I hope that isn't girlcat's attempt at redecorating I see in the background 👀

The Stray is doing a good job on our landing, stairs and hallway. Unfortunately it is no longer our house and the soon to be new owners don't know how enthusiastic she's been (yes we have tried to stop her, block her, put things in front of walls). Can we be sued for it? 🙁

Haven't seen much of Annie lately, either.
We need pictures of Izzy and her co-conspirator.

I haven't gone to bed yet because Gizmo is still out and I'm waiting for the bugger to come home.
Even Linney has returned and is fast asleep.

Another attempt at Tobias, without cropping off the top of his head.

@Pixiedust1234 that was Boycat's attempt at redecoration before he fell ill. As I have visitors incredibly rarely (apart from Annie & nephew no. 4), and Tobias is doing a fine job of the hall walls both upstairs and downstairs, no point in redecorating & I can't really afford it.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne I will mention to Annie. She's fine & both cats are too.

That pic shows off well Tobias's poor little fringed nibbled ears, obtained during his years as a stray bless him.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne you are doing an excellent job with the calendar!
I see we are still missing dancing Louie @Judystilldreamsofhorses
Leroy @YesItsMeIDontCare

Penelope @Toddlerteaplease

Did HouseofHolbein leave when they introduced cookies, if so no Idiot sisters in hats

There seems to be a thing called calendar labs where you can make and print a free calendar- not putting a link in in case it is dodgy

👋🏻 Hello!

We're still around but life's kinda got in the way a bit.

Leroy's cracking on a tad now and slowing down (slightly). It's his Homing Day tomorrow 🥰 9 years!

(((hugs))) to everyone 😊
