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

If I suddenly vanish, I'll ask Annie to kindly post on here the gist of the horrifically evil things I have posted that have brought about me being reported.

Maybe along the lines of suggesting that not agreeing with every single policy decision made by the EU over the last 50 something years makes me a Brexiteer, or picking someone up on extrapolating a single comment into a massive list of things they assume must also be related thinking.😂

I think my days are numbered too.
Thus far I've been accused on that thread of being a bigot; 'racist', 'in some way responsible for 'generational bullying', a liar, and 'requiring therapy,'
I don't think I've been accused of 'low intelligence' (reserved for @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne ) but I tend to think if the cap fits I'll wear it.
Ooh and 'social justice warrior'

God knows what I'd be accused of if they knew I was a bloke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

On a different note the cats are in disgrace this
today. Dead coal tit on the patio. Unimpressed. I've given them a severe talking to.

I can guess, but let's not go there.

Yeah, Grumpy, I bet that'll sink in and they'll change their behaviour.

Robins I can accept, bloody aggressive little bastards. But Coal tits aren't exactly mega prey, they're tiny. And still nesting I think?

But are you sure it's them & not GT?

Boris managed to wee in a recycling bag that was filled with shredded paper that I'd left on my living room floor a few weeks ago. I was watching him thinking what are you doing? You're not, Oh you are. I have to hand it to him, it all went in the bag, not a single drop on the floor. I also had to agree that the litter tray needed changing and went off to do it like a well trained human.

That was meant to be a response to Rum complaining about Toad weeing on a bag. I realise it looks completely random out of context. 😂

Hello peeps. I been slacking. I've no idea what Allergic is on about with this thread you're all expecting to be banned from (will take a look presently), but she did say you were looking for up-to-date photos of kitties. So here they are. Izzy is modelling the new cat tree we got them yesterday, and Thrifty is posing on my desk while requesting attention from DS.

Huh, that image review thing is still going eh? I can assure you no cats were harmed in the taking of these pictures. Hopefully they'll be up shortly.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 24/06/2025 17:00

Hi Annie.

I'm not expecting to be banned as a result of that thread (for once).

I've just had to endure the suggestion that I'm stupid.
🤣🤣🤣

Oh I think that's going to be with us forever. It only takes 30 secs before the images appear.

Someone at work today was saying he’d had a city break with his family in Ljubljana.

I resisted the temptation to ask if he’d seen any drunk tomcats.

(Sorry, that will only make sense to people who read the stag party thread - I don’t think it was ever settled who was marrying who but the boys (and Vixen) were going on a stag weekend to Ljubljana & the girls were going for a relaxing fortnight in Tuscany.)

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/06/2025 17:18

We are off tomorrow for a week in Talinn. I'll be keeping a close eye out for Estonian moggies (and any of our lot who are out on the razz) 😁

Check your cases very very carefully for stowaways before catching the plane home.

Nice work, @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne ! I now realise it wasn't a terribly flattering pic of Thrifty. At least you can see how magnificent her whiskers are, though.

She's now sprawled right across the desk. Good thing the keyboard lives on a sliding shelf underneath.

Maybe Thrifty should be The One With The Magnificent Whiskers.

@HumanToCatBeastiesi guessed it was in response to Toad being a little sod. I swear he did it out of spite and evil because I had a delivery of bird food and nothing for him.

People get very insulting on some threads and take things so personally. Although I may not agree completely with some points, I think the insults being thrown around on that thread are overly dramatic.

It's so funny that it's all supposedly to do with an innocent playdate! Then it all kicks off!

Next thread could be called The Excellent Cats wee inside bags! @HumanToCatBeasties @RumNotRun
