Edit - no idea why I've quoted @stormsandsunshine on this post

You're getting into a tizz at the thought of meeting me and @EmpressaurusKitty

Well, it is pretty exciting. In two days’ time you’ll both be sitting on this very balcony.

Weather permitting. Due to have thunder storms in the south east by the end of the week.....

Argh Allergic!
I'm going to sit on that balcony even if the monsoon comes to West London.

Considering how hot it's been recently - I'll quite happily sit outside in a thunderstorm 🤣

Current local forecast for Friday.

We’re east facing so the balcony’s just about right on hot summer evenings. Although Kitty may choose to watch us from the bedroom window.

I’m afraid GT & his box will need to wait downstairs, I hope he won’t mind. Happy to give him some Dreamies to keep him occupied until Broon’s ready to take him back with her.

Afraid I haven't yet spotted a single cat in Norway. Weather is scorching, yesterday and today has been 29 degrees so we cooled off in a freezing fjord!
Missing Herbie and hope he's coping in the heat. He was unsociable at the cattery, growling and hissing at the other cats!
Then he tore at our heartstrings by yowling very pitifully as we left.
I have enjoyed catching up with the thread!

HumanToCatBeasties · 16/07/2025 19:49

Boris is home, much to the disappointment of Matilda who hasn't seemed to miss him at all. He was a very sorry sight when he got out of the carrier. His back legs and part of his tail were wet and spiky and he must have peed and then sat in it. I originally thought it must have been in the carrier, but the towel I put in there was dry. It seems very weird that the vets didn't mention it if he was like than when he went in. They are normally super thorough and I wouldn't have expected them to try and clean him, considering how feisty he was being with them. He's had a wash and looking much more like himself, though with a slight urine scent.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 16/07/2025 21:06

Pleased to hear Boris is home - even if he does niff a bit. Best wishes to him.

Esgaroth · 16/07/2025 23:16

Good to hear Boris is home, I'm sure another few washes and he'll have himself all cleaned up.

Kettle's just having his own bath incidentally.

Apparently there's no room for me on my bed tonight.

Looks like cat yoga!

Hope Boris feels better (and is more fragrant) very soon, and Matilda decides she likes him after all

HumanToCatBeasties · 17/07/2025 16:07

Boris is feeling (and smelling) much better. He spent most of the day lounging around and pestering me for fuss and has just gone mad playing on the cat tree and has now found a Mollies mouse to attack.

Good for Boris!

RumNotRun · 17/07/2025 17:21

I am currently trapped under a sleeping cat. I'm hungry, the rest of the tribe are all appearing for their dinner, and I'm not very comfortable, but how can I disturb this stupid face?

Any chance of the others waking him up?

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 17/07/2025 17:47

Very glad to hear about Boris and Sybil.

Meanwhile, down in London, I'm a lot hotter than I was in Argyll.

Have ordered some cooler clothes to be delivered tomorrow. One of the advantages of London is immediate delivery, of just about anything.

I'm meeting Grumpy and Kitty tomorrow, so I need to look my best.

It's a good excuse to buy more stuff anyway

Cat hair.

If you earn the unbelievable privilege of being invited to play with Kitty on her rug, your legs will be covered in it.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 17/07/2025 18:10

I frequently have almost a complete cat's worth of fur attached to my trousers so I'm not worried 🤣

I’ve PMd you in the name of being organised, Grumpy.
