Definitely a sign to get that flat then - no NMC for days then one appears on the same street. And a very magnificent NMC too, that tail is fabulous.

We are going to take it - gorgeous flat, and the cat swung it 😁.

Yay!
Does the cat live near the flat?

He has more than a passing resemblance to your current TC.

You must have NMC animal magnetism @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

Frankenstein was giving me laser eyes last night.

DD2 and I went swimming this morning. The school holidays have started, so instead of having the pool to ourselves, there were countless children jumping in, and their mothers were there with a selection of babies.

Everyone was having a good time, until one of the children was sick in the shallow end, so we all had to get out.

Oh well. We got a refund, which we immediately spent in the cafe.

I wonder how long before he manages to get rid of it?

Linney saw me heading for the car, so decided that this must mean a visit to the V.E.T.

So he sat by this bush, where he fondly believed I couldn't see him.

Then, in case he was wrong, and I could see him, he hid under this bench.

I expect he figured that if he couldn't see me, I wouldn't be able to see him.

It's a good job cats don't come in green is all I can say. We'd constantly be losing them.

Frankfurter is being long today, still studiously ignoring the cooling mat though.

I find that cats always avoid anything which costs us money.

It must be in The Cat Rule Book.

Linney and Snowcat could have a good roll in some freshly cut grass and it might work.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 02/07/2025 17:14

Right, let's make our own Cat Rule Book.

I'll start:

Rule 1 - If you feel sick, make sure you throw up in a really inaccessible place, to make it hard for your owners to clear it up.

Rule 2 - Failing that, throw up in their slippers.

OP posts:
Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 02/07/2025 18:02

Rule 3 - Miaow outside the back door to come in. Once in, immediately run to front door and miaow to go out
Rule 4 - repeat as often as possible for maximum impact

ShoutyCatSlave · 02/07/2025 18:10

Make sure you leave decapitated gifts on the new rug, and not on the hard floors. Which are everywhere.

RumNotRun · 02/07/2025 18:53

Rule 6. Wait until your slave has stocked up on your favourite food, then decide you don't like it anymore.

RumNotRun · 02/07/2025 19:01

Look at that face! 😁

That ought to be Rule 1.

I've wasted loads of money on despised cat food. We all have, right?

Even now, there are two boxes in my cupboard waiting for us to donate them to a lady who feeds feral cats and takes in strays and random litters of kittens.

Actually, that reminds me. My friend drove up there once, just to donate some cat food, and she left with four kittens. As you do.
🤣🤣 Four! She told me that she HAD to take them all, because she couldn't just choose one and leave three of his siblings behind.

Logical.
