..... behind Gizmo, of course.

Calling all cats! Come and get some chicken.

We have a similar 'portal' underneath our kitchen sink. Woe betide if we leave the door open and unattended... cats disappear behind our run of kitchen cabinets... finally reappearing covered in builders' dust and crap left there from when the kitchen was fitted about 15 years ago!

Same here!

@RumNotRun your hand tattoo is incredible! I have two and I have so many ideas for others I'd like, but I just can't afford them. I feel guilty because I have one with my eldest's name but not my youngest.

We also have a cubbyhole under the sink, which our old cat used to go into.Herbie hasn't yet (though he could get stuck. He's alot bigger than our old cat!).
That is the most realistic tattoo I've ever seen @RumNotRun it's amazing.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 21/09/2025 00:40

Each time one of them got out, the other would run to reclaim the tent.
🤣🤣🤣

Cat Two is like Gizmo about our bathroom cupboard. She goes in to steal my nail file from the drawer and take it under the bed. Has done it since she was a kitten.
I commend your fortitude in maintaining the defence, Broon. Remembering the hard time he gave Grumpy I am surprised you’ve kept him out this long.

She goes in to steal my nail file from the drawer and take it @learieonthewildmoor cats do seem to have a thing for nail files, the cardboard/glue/sandpaper types: I have a cat visitor who is obsessed with my manky old nail file and if I let him, would probably have pinched it....and now I am thinking of..
Edited to say, thought the gif would appear below the text! But my visitor is a glossy black cat, so it's appropriate

learieonthewildmoor · 21/09/2025 15:15

The nail file Cat Two loved was a metal one. I have a glass one now and when I use it she appears yelling and tries to take it from me.
Cat Two does have a look that suggests she is plotting nefarious deeds, but when she has the nail file it’s like catnip to her.

I have one of those electronic pedi things (or as I refer to it, my foot sander) Raven hates it with a passion. If she hears me turn it on, she comes running to me and starts hissing and trying to smack the sander. She's even done that weird spitting thing that cats can do when they're really mad. It's so odd, I've never seen a cat get so furious.

Found a Turkish Finlay!

Oh wow!
The Turkish one hasn't got a tracker though.

Turkish grey cat 😻

EmpressaurusKitty · 21/09/2025 20:55

Maybe Turkish Finlay slipped his collar.

Well Finlay does disappear for days at a time. Just saying. 🐈 ✈️

JaceLancs · 21/09/2025 21:38

Haha Turkish Finlay is not collared at all - lots of strays here but they do have quite a good spaying/neutering programme and cat feeding stations etc so none of them look starving - the tiny skinny ones are more Egyptian style mixed breeds
My hotel has a lovely tortie Mum with 3 kittens ❤️

That's a lovely, if a tiny bit undignified, picture of a bum, but a beautiful picture of a tail...

Pudmyboy · 21/09/2025 22:13

(I may have had a rare glass of wine)

RumNotRun · 21/09/2025 22:37

Lex and Toad have barely cuddled today in the tent. Lex has spent most of the day on one of the sofas. When I went to bed, Toad was in the tent, Lex was nowhere to be seen..until I got close up to say goodnight to Toby.

Have you ordered a second tent yet? (so they can both ignore it and continue to cram together in the first one)

RumNotRun · 22/09/2025 03:49

Yes, it should arrive this week, and I agree, they will probably ignore it!

A moment later I got the message & opened the drawer a bit further so Kitty could get under the bed.

We're having to take Sebastian to the vet's this morning because he's vomited blood and there was blood in the litter tray. That was at 11pm last night and he was still looking for food and didn't seem particularly unwell.

(He's DD's cat, the one who went deaf after his dental surgery)

RumNotRun · 22/09/2025 09:46

Oh poor chap! Fingers crossed that all goes well at the vet.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/09/2025 09:47

Fingers crossed for Sebastian. 🤞

Breadcat24 · 22/09/2025 10:20

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne best wishes for Sebastian

Pudmyboy · 22/09/2025 10:53

Really hope it's all okay with Sebastian 🤞🏼
