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

Gizmo has bagged a little sun trap on the carpet.
He lies there every day.

There are now a couple of topless bearded blokes opposite, comparing their tattoos. Kitty’s moved to her bed in the window to watch them.

Do you think she approved of them?

Hiding (again hindered by his hi-vis fur).

I think she thought her fur was a lot prettier than their tattoos.

Which, to be fair, it is.

Yes, I don't even need to see the tattoos to know that.

The thread title seems most appropriate this evening!
Herbie decided randomly to accompany DH and I on our walk round the block. He trotted after us quite happily and wasn't bothered by the dog walkers we met.
At one point he seemed a bit worried and his ears were down. So I think maybe we'd left his familiar territory at that point.
Before that, he'd had a little disagreement with the Linney lookalike, Glamourpuss!

Mr Tuxedo is back.

There was a standoff by the window for while. Snowcat came to support Stripey. Everyone was very calm and still, though Stripey’s tail swished back and forward. Eventually Mr Tux got up very very slowly and prowled off.

I’m not sure if he is trying to intimidate or befriend our cats. I’m also not sure what would happen if I opened the door.

I've had a Kloppy drama this afternoon, don't even know where to start 😸

My folks are staying with me, in my shiny new place. All's well, they like cats 👍 It's quite difficult to describe but I have a big grapevine over my car port, there's a metal frame with the vines all over it. Kloppy all of a sudden decided to clamber up the frame, like a toddler gone wild. I said oh, he's trying to sneak into my neighbour's apartment, he'll be back. Next thing... a huge fucking thud and he fell from a height onto my car, he literally bounced off the back windscreen 🙀 😹

Have you ever seen a video of a bear falling? That was him 😂 😂 😂

RumNotRun · 14/05/2025 21:47

Oh jeez @PollyCreoI presume he's ok and just his pride that is wounded. Sometimes I do wonder where all the PR came from that cats are elegant, graceful, great climbers...I suspect cats made it up cause my lot certainly fail at elegant and graceful!

Esgaroth · 14/05/2025 21:50

Oh my goodness, is he all right?

PollyCreo · 14/05/2025 21:57

Oh he's fine, he scuttled off for 5 minutes then emerged ten minutes later casually licking his paws. I think he was showing off in front of my parents, we all shit ourselves though when he dropped like a stone.

My car broke his fall, I've checked it and no damage 😹

PollyCreo · 14/05/2025 22:00

This was him earlier, after the sudden descent

PollyCreo · 14/05/2025 22:01

Kloppy drop

PollyCreo · 14/05/2025 22:02

Pics won't post, never mind 😒

RumNotRun · 14/05/2025 22:16

Frank has turned into something spooky, and also has humongous ears!

No, he's bright orange.

This made me laugh and laugh and laugh! I don't know why 😂

It was meant to be funny!

I know it was meant to be funny...well I assumed so. But it was one of those things that the more I looked at it, the more I laughed.

Not seen Finlay for a few days so making the most of a quick lap moment tonight!
At moment he’s coming home for 2-3 hours in every 24 - always in the early hours when I’m usually in bed - harumph!

Been at a conference and just catching up on all your glorious cats.
Is there such a thing as a non beautiful cat? Glorious orange, sophisticated grey, spooky black, glamourous white or wild tabby. All beautiful.

RumNotRun · 15/05/2025 12:19

@Breadcat24 Lex has a certain appeal but I don't think many, if any, would call him beautiful.
