The Excellent Cats welcome the new year by planning an expedition in search of 'She who must not be named'

Lenny however needs a rest before he starts searching.

Oh, Gizmo was terrified of that thing.
And Linney also backed away in dismay.

I sent it back to Amazon for a refund.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne I took the mechanism out and stuffed it with catnip!

After that Breadcat would cuddle it as well

Love is in the air today. Neither Lex nor Ghost ever usually cuddle anyone other than Toad so this was unexpected!

I never thought of that.

Oh look at her!
♥️

Aw you'll miss her but she sounds like such a lovely cat I'm sure she'll quickly bond with her new owner. I hope he's grateful for the wonderful job you've done with her!

To be perfectly honest, it hasn't been much of a job at all. She's great with her litter tray (although she sussed quickly that she'd get a "clever girl" and a treat each time she used it in the early days 😀) and very friendly with people. She is just desperate to get outside though - she has successfully chased off, from behind the window:

• a large boy Bengal
• a thuggy tomcat
• two fat black cats
• the oldest neighbourhood resident, a mostly white with bits of grey cat, who has a mournful and put-upon expression.

She sounds like Kettle - loves people, hates other cats!

Or Gizmo.
Loves himself, not keen on other cats (although fine with Linney)

.......... and very keen on me. Especially when I'm opening a pouch of cat food. Or carving a chicken.

Or making pigs in blankets, as I was earlier today. Gizmo was very, very interested, but they were still raw when he attended the kitchen with that look in his eye.

So I didn't give him any. Mind you, I won't be serving them to him once they're cooked, either.

Gizmo sounds like he might love food above all else! Was he as food-obsessed as this in his younger, TC days?

On the few occasions when TC managed to break into our house he'd head straight for the food and eat everything visible. He would get VERY grumpy if anyone tried to remove him.
We used to look after him when his dad was away and he was very keen at feeding time in his own house too...

And she’s on the carpet!

Her last night in foster care! She'll be up savaging her crinkle fish and bringing me all her toys at dawn, no doubt.

I gather that trying to nick the food from all of Grumpy's cats was his raison d'etre back in the day.

Also, as soon as Linney finishes eating, Gizmo is straight in there, trying to finish everything that's left.
I am very strict and I take the bowl away.
Gizmo hasn't got an OFF switch.

If a cat sent a Valentine card.

Especially for @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne

Just watched last night's The Last Leg. They were talking about Valentine's day & reported about a cat rescue with a fabulous new promotion.

You can pay to have a cat named after your ex, then neutered. Naturally I thought of Broon!

MN really should bring the laughing emoji back.
Genius 😁

I'm guessing Gizmo has been "done" long ago. And I also guess that @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne's ex is not called Gizmo!

Kettle's wondering whether to bother going out or not.

He decided not.

lost the cat then saw eyes

He isn't called Linney, either.
