Come and join us.
All cats welcome.

Even bitey ones.

I don’t believe Kitty’s ever invited anyone to play on her rug except me so obviously if that happened you’d be too honoured & grateful to care anyway.

CatsonPollock · 17/07/2025 18:46

I'm imagining Kitty looking down on the lowly visitors from the top of her lofty tower and judging whether or not they will be allowed to approach her highness! 😸

CatsonPollock · 17/07/2025 18:48

Or maybe something like this...

This is what I’m expecting! But if Her Empressness does retire to bed she’ll have no problem with being uncovered & receiving her guests there.

Any chance of the others waking him up?

No, Vixen could sleep through an earthquake, she sleeps hard. Eventually I had to pick her up and move her. Of course I got hissed at and scratched for having the audacity to disturb her. Bloody cats.

I hope @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOneand @Grumpyoldpersonwithcatsare coming with suitable tribute for Kitty, otherwise it could end up as a thread on Catsnet "AIBU that two slaves visited me and didn't bring offerings"

ginger offerings already planned 😻

Kitty may be disappointed that Gizmo, Linney, Basil, Sybil. Karl and Lenney aren't coming along for a cat party too!

You what?
Have I misunderstood something?

This is West London, not Ljubljana! 🙀

Heard a fuss outside earlier....

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 17/07/2025 22:54

I do think @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne should have considered bringing the very special Gizmo with her, as I am sure @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats misses him so much.

Hopefully @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats found a suitable ' box ' and that gorgeous ginger cat will be meeting going home with @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne tomorrow...

After all how can she return home without a present for Gizmo, and of course Linney...

EmpressaurusKitty · 18/07/2025 07:07

I’m sure there will be photo updates posted on the thread tonight.

And GT rolling around on the road outside.

This is exactly what Wilson does when we start our lunchtime stroll. Flings himself at my feet and has a good roll around. 😁 They look like the same cat!

Are we absolutely certain that Wilson & Ginger Thug Cat are not one & the same….????

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/07/2025 08:21

GT has a cauliflower ear. So unless GT/Wilson does a very good line in prosthetic make up I'm pretty sure they are indeed two cats 🐈 🐈
I suspect GT and Wilson are very closely related though. 😁

Ahsheeit · 18/07/2025 09:31

Most definitely. Wilson is also a thug outside, but soft as shit with humans. My neighbour's cats won't go outside now. They are older ladies though, who can't be arsed with his shit. 😂

Well, at least you don’t have to worry about the prospect of him being whisked off to my flat tonight in a box.

I’ve told Kitty @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne & @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats won’t be here for hours yet, but she’s watching anyway.

Scary stuff!

Does Grumpy have a suspicious box with him that keeps moving around and hissing @EmpressaurusKitty

Kitty intercepted it, @HumanToCatBeasties.

No, but he brought two dozen bottles of wine for himself and is now insensible.

Mrs Grumpy will not be amused I'm sure.

Neither were Kitty and me but we did eat a whole cheesecake between us while Grumpy was drinking all the wine.
