Scottish Tourism - the Excellent Cats debate Gizmo's suitability as a top influencer

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Yeah, right.

Linney is more suitable.

At least he's actually a Scottish cat.

Gizmo is an English interloper, who only came to Scotland in order to get behind my bathroom cupboard.

6 3/4. My allergy only seems to get bad when I'm more tired than usual or hang out with a long haired cat. When I was younger it was worse. I always had itchy eyes after spending time with my cat. I think I have mainly grown out of it now. Either that or my body has just given up!

That’s very sensible of your body!

I'm mildly allergic to cats too, though my body has developed a bit more tolerance over time. One of Girlcats favorite cuddles has my face buried in her neck fur, which leaves me very sneezy & bunged up afterwards.

But they are more than worth the mild irritation a thousand times over. 💖

I've just seen strawberry Lick-e-lix (well, Lick-e-puds) in Home bargains. I think the tribe would rather stick with traditional meat flavours.

Kitty’s favourite flavours are cat grass & cheese.

Strawberry just sounds weird.

I just gave them all some turkey and cranberry flavour licks. I have never seen the plates so clean 😁 Clearly that was an acceptable flavour.

Ooh. Do they have those in Home Bargains?

Yes, they had loads of different kinds and different flavours. 99p each I think.

I’ll have to pop down there then.

I’ve just taken this photo of Kitty, Bertram the camel & the moon & I’m quite pleased with it. Then she saw a spider.

Love that 'I'm gonna get you' look on her face!

She never goes beyond staring at them though! All her hunting instincts are focused on her toys.

I do very much like your arty photo of cat, moon and camel@EmpressaurusKitty!
Gives lovely biblical feelings.

My family live in Dubai and there was that one Christmas (2020 I think) where all the stars had aligned again and it has been conjectured that was what the 3 wise men followed 2,000 years ago. So we went out into the desert to look at it. Was really cool.

Quite like your photo actually!

Apologies if I make zero sense. Medication is heavy 😆

Also having cat heavy morning. Eko was all weird and lethargic yesterday. He's had the blocked bladder twice so we were all panicking. Worrying whether I should take him to the emergency vet (£315!) or home vet (£240!) decided against both. Checked on him during the night but had to keep catflap locked. So Boone has weed on everything I put down for him (he will only go on towels or my favourite carpet which I couldn't face washing again). He can't leave the garden now as his back legs are too bad now so I don't mind the flap being open at night plus the foxes are scared of him). Anyway so the house is now full of stinky towels and Eko is right as rain and sitting happily on the fence eyeing up the squirrels.

I did think of this thread a lot during the night and after paying all that money the bugger would be perfectly fine after I'd got a crazy expensive uber and vet for no reason)

What a nightmare @LostCats2 ! Though a reasonably happy ending, except for all the washing of towels and airing of rooms! Hope you can rest today after all that!

That sounds awful @LostCats2 but I’m glad Eko’s ok. That’s fascinating about Dubai.

There's an absolutely hilarious thread on AIBU at the minute, but it's just got to 1000 posts, I will try to link it, just thought @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne it may make you and all musically inclined people giggle: I have laughed out loud several times at the responses and the OP's stubbornness despite 97% of posters saying she is unreasonable!

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5422483-aibu-to-think-this-wedding-pianist-is-unbelievably-rude?

Hope this works at at least lets you all find the thread!

I've contributed to that thread. The OP's recalcitrance is indeed absolutely hilarious.

Ah, I haven't had a chance to read all responses, but did enjoy the posters offering to come with their recorder to play 'go and tell Aunt Nancy ' and 'Twinkle twinkle little star'😂
Also thought the link was appropriate to the Litter Tray as one poster put out a video of a cat noodling away on a piano😺

They should have asked Kitty, she’d have sung for them in return for Dreamies.

We had a Zooplus delivery this afternoon...

I offered to make them a Spotify list for £220.
🤣🤣🤣

How kind of you to buy Sybil a box.
🤣

I felt she deserved it 😻

I just looked at the opening post on that thread @Pudmyboy and my response would have been unprintable!
Haven't got enough time to read through the 40 pages as I am busy teaching and playing piano!
But I have had a few similar situations in the past.
Herbie is definitely not amused by it!

Cat Two and Four would probably like this. Strawberries affect them like catnip.
It’s bizarre and inconvenient if I forget to put the strawberries back in the fridge. They both try to hop into empty strawberry containers.
