Lenny however needs a rest before he starts searching.

I’m on the way home from a party & expect to be greeted by a grumpy Kitty demanding to know what time I call this.

Is that Ginger Thug Cat, @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats? Has he started practising his Scottish accent yet?

Yes - and I hope so 🤣.

In other news - proof that I have more than one cat t-shirt 😁

Nice T-shirt Grumpy. I’m still down the rabbit-hole on the Cats Protection site after a previous poster linked to it, such nice Ts. Also Llama leggings, someone in my gym has them and some very cute designs (sorry Grumpy, may not be your thing)

If only I could buy half the stuff that pops up on Facebook!! Eg: really cool cat themed clothes, and all things music and piano related!

I’m tempted by this. It’s accurate after all.

Those are all brilliant @Breadcat24 😁.
I can offer this as another part of my existing (far from extensive) wardrobe.

I have this design on a tote bag. It gets lots of compliments! (draws the cat lovers out 😸)

I thought this one looked a bit like Gizmo.

I like this one. It's a shame it doesn't come in black.

By the way if anyone is interested? Micia is playing with toys at night - catnip mice and a fish, she has also it seems been in one of the bed.s During the day I have been sitting with her on and off and she has started to position herself to watch me rather than behind the furniture. Today she ate with the door to her safe room open. She does not hiss if we stroke her anymore
Looks completely baffled if I dangle a toy on a string. Eats anything offered.
It might not seem much progress but I am trying to view it as positive

That sounds like quite a lot of progress to me. 😁

That is amazing progress and we are very interested! Also, photos would be most appreciated 😁

Lex and Toad are being awfully cute these days. They've just fallen asleep with Toad in what I call the "hungry hippo" position, so I'm a line with his neck and head outstretched, only this variant of the position involves him burying his face in Lex's fur.

Definitely progress! Well done Micia 🐈‍⬛
Regular updates please ❤️

Well, Grumpy.

That's a picture of someone's back. How do we know it's yours?

I'm loving your Micia updates Breadcat.

It sounds like a lot of progress has been made.
♥️

EmpressaurusKitty · 08/02/2026 19:58

That’s terrific progress, @Breadcat24! And love the photos, @RumNotRun.

HumanToCatBeasties · 08/02/2026 20:11

Definitely very interested in updates @Breadcat24 I think you've made a lot more progress than you've realised. If you wanted an easy lap cat I'm sure you'd have asked for one. You've taken on a more difficult cat and you are making great progress. Please don't doubt yourself. Micia is very lucky you've taken her on and she will get there.
