..... behind Gizmo, of course.

Calling all cats! Come and get some chicken.

Toad has decided he is sharing Raven's box. She gets no say in this.

😂 "Room for a 'little' one?"

Raven hasn’t pushed him out? Would she like Kitty to come & give her a paw?

RumNotRun · 31/08/2025 15:52

Toad is not very good at getting consent. If he wants to snuggle, then he will snuggle. Usually it ends up with the other cat storming off in a grumpy.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 31/08/2025 16:23

OMG Gizmo has just brought in a babt finch, and chased it all over the sitting room.

Pa Broon managed to grab the bird when I flicked water on Gizmo.

We thought the bird would die, but after a ten minute rest on the table, it flew across the room. So my intrepid husband caught it again, and set it free.

We're having chicken for dinner tonight, too. Perhaps Gizmo just couldn't wait.

Oh dear. Herbie is also in disgrace again.
We came down to pigeon wing remains and unidentified parts of a pigeon on the dining room floor.
Bother that cat!!

Toad has moved on from invading Raven's box. He is now asleep on the arm of my office chair, but as he's a bit too big, he's had to brace himself against the seat. This does not look at all comfortable.

Linney has fallen asleep on the window ledge

It’s a lovely picture of him but he doesn’t look very comfortable.

Kitty & I have just been playing ball. I’m going to get her the Ouija board & see if she spells out any messages.

RumNotRun · 31/08/2025 21:14

@EmpressaurusKitty maybe all the Excellent Cats who get an ouija board will start communicating with each other.

Are we sure we want to encourage cats to commune with the spirits??

If you ask her if she's hungry, I bet she'll be able to point to YES.

Or just amble over to her food bowl, so you get the general idea.

I think Lex does already. He spends a lot of time staring into my cabinet (or The Haunted Cabinet as my friend calls it) as if he's watching something. If you put your hand in front of his face, he'll move his head so he can carry on staring.

EmpressaurusKitty · 31/08/2025 21:42

Kitty stares out into the hall sometimes when I can’t see anything.

She’s already very good at telling me when she’s hungry or wants to play / be stroked / go out, but the ouija board could still be fun. I suspect the Excellent Cats have their own communication system already - after all, someone got Gizmo moved up to Scotland.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 31/08/2025 21:44

Step forward, Grumpy.

But it’s so much more fun to imagine the cats plotting.

Lex says he'll "reach out" to Kitty when his new toy arrives.

I’ve reserved one but won’t be able to pick it up until the weekend & I’m off to Puglia for a week on Monday, so it will be a while before she gets to try it out.

The September Cats & Dragons pic. I think it’s Finlay, @JaceLancs.

Some lovely NMHC in Tuscany, one was friendly and then suddenly realised it did not know me and backed off! The cat's owner laughed at it!

That will not end well for the 'owner'....😾

@EmpressaurusKitty - that’s fab there is a certain amount of resemblance 😊

I’m sure I remember you saying he roams a lot - he might be getting even further than you thought! 😸
