Lenny however needs a rest before he starts searching.

@PandorasBox7 So sorry to hear about your cat. It breaks your heart. Miss Breadcat every day

It's a gorgeous sunny morning today albeit bloody cold. Basil can't be arsed to go out so is gracing the windowsill instead.

I’m currently in my favourite cafe having my weekly post-gym Sunday brunch, the sun is shining through the window right at me & it’s pleasantly warm.

Still no sign of SWMNBN? ☹️. Maybe we should get up a petition or something. #FreeTheBroonOne

All excellent cats would support this!

Kitty’s going to watch out for Broon from her cosy tunnel, since it’s much too cold to sit out on the balcony.

@EmpressaurusKitty Kitty looks very cosy. They do not come in human size do they?

LostCats2 · 05/01/2026 09:31

Oh my gosh, I recommend reading the poop lunacy thread on the Litter Tray. I can't help myself but laugh hysterically. Boone is declining and today due to the ice I had to hold him up while he went to the loo (when summer comes he'll be fine, but slipping in ice is truly the final insult when you're doing that isn't it). But anyway, they have given me a laugh I really needed this am.

It’s a nice thought!

Thought I would share a couple of pictures of the Hardy Cats from down the street. They were up to all sorts of antics right up until I tried to take pictures, when a zen-like calm descended on them. Top catting.
The pictures are of two separate cats, honest!

wow @Pudmyboy you weren't joking when you said they roll in the snow! my two would never do that. 'cold stuff' is to be avoided at all costs sadly

I'm on holiday at Mexico and there are a couple of really delightful NMCs at my hotel. I have spent much time playing the String Game with the kitten.

I have an update from SWMNBN!

First: she’s managed to get shot of The Masturbator. Her friend has taken it to give to her DH as a birthday present. Lucky friend’s DH.

Second: she wants to introduce NMK 9-week-old Hamish, the friend’s new rescue kitten.

SWMNBN says she doesn’t think there’s a direct link between the friend getting Hamish & the friend’s DH getting the Masturbator. I think that as I predicted on the last thread, the Masturbator will get turned into a cat toy.

No wonder Linney & Gizmo are lookimg
for her!

Breadcat24 · 05/01/2026 14:48

Well Hamish is lovely

Esgaroth · 05/01/2026 14:54

Aw Hamish has a little beard like Kettle. What a sweetie.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 05/01/2026 16:53

Hamish is indeed lovely.

I was very glad to get shot of The Masturbator.

I went to the village lunch club for old people

I held them spellbound with my tales of my stupid errant husband. They all agreed that he's a complete wanker.

Hamish's mum said that she thought her DH would like the fleshlight as long as it hasn't been used

So I'm going to hand it over to her on Wednesday.

And thank you all for your campaigning. I was in MN Jail (which was nicer and had better facilities than Ljubljana Jail IMO).

I shared a cell with Frosty the Snowman.

Hamish is my very first NMK.

I can find out what he gets up to every week. Today he shared my friend's daughter's cereal at breakfast time.

Welcome back Broon 🐱 and welcome to Hamish too.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 05/01/2026 17:26

......... well, he lapped up as much of the milk as he could get before he was removed from the table.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 05/01/2026 17:37

I'm so touched by everyone's valiant campaigning on my behalf.
