Come and join us.
All cats welcome.

Life's been very stressful in Cyprus for the past few days, there have been horrific wildfires 🥺 They're under control now but so many villages have burnt to the ground, horrific to think about the wildlife 😭

That must be awful, sorry to hear it.
We even had a heatwave in Norway the whole time we were there. Temperatures of 29 and 30degrees. Locals said it was unprecedented.

They happen every year but this is the worst yet. I'm miles away from the flames but can see the smoke in the distance.

I live by the coast so I'm away from it but so many of my friends were evacuated

I'm really sorry, that must be awful.

So many people have lost their homes and animals. The vets in Limassol and Paphos have stepped up and offered treatment and refuge for the injured pets 😖

Linney is guarding Pa Broon's slippers.

Guarding the slippers is an important job. Anything could happen to them otherwise.

Kitty’s tolerating me spending time with M & J as long as she still gets the attention she deserves.

Another Gizmo, @wobblyweasel?

Indeed. But Pa had to go to the bathroom in bare feet, because he didn't want to wake Linney up.

Yikes, hope you're not badly affected by the smoke. Awful for the people and animals in the way 😞

Esgaroth · 26/07/2025 17:39

Do you think he's looking forward to his tea?

EmpressaurusKitty · 26/07/2025 17:45

Isn’t it a shame you can’t teach him to make your tea?

EmpressaurusKitty · 26/07/2025 17:48

Edited because the above post came up twice.

Part of Herbie"s routine when being fed is to stretch his paws up to the worktop!
Just to make us absolutely certain of what he's after! (Greedy thing!)

I think Kettle and Herbie are cut from the same cloth 😄 Glad he's been 'rescued' now from the cattery and safely back at home.

Gizmo also does this.

Linney doesn't. He's clearly more refined.

Herbie, Kettle and Gizmo definitely know what their priorities are in life!

EmpressaurusKitty · 26/07/2025 18:22

Kitty will sit next to the treats drawer to remind me when her Dreamies are due and she might follow me to the food cupboard but that’s it really.

One of my ex-fosters materialises next to me on the counter when I’m doing their food. Her sister is more refined, like Linney, and expects to be summoned once it’s ready instead of having to hang around waiting.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne
I don't suppose you know any Scottish nurses with 5 cats and a dog do you? The woman in the thread below was attacked by a tabby and a hairy cat 😲😲😲😲😲

EmpressaurusKitty · 26/07/2025 21:09

We would just like to be clear that Kitty has a full alibi and did not fly to Scotland on her dragon. Who has a full alibi too.

Picard's mum is a Scottish nurse, but only has Picard and one dog in her household.

So she's not guilty.

Or rather Picard isn't.
