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

Carried forward from the previous thread.

Lenny however needs a rest before he starts searching.

Aww!

Gizmo watching Linney eating, and waiting his chance to get the left-overs.
He does this every time.
Yes, I feed Linney on the table and Gizmo gets his on the kitchen floor.
If I didn't, Linney would be pushed aside after Gizmo had finished eating

I am probably about to get banned as I foolishly said on a thread that I would not mind being a bit less white as I burn to a crisp. i have been so far accused of being a racist, a fetishist and unhappy in my own skin.
I am bound to tell someone to fuck off soon!

Do NOT do this.

Hide the thread immediately.

I believe it’s very easy to get banned on here.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne Thank you - for yiur advice and your defense

@Breadcat24 please hide that thread.
I've just whizzed over and defended your comment and I'm going to hide it now. I didn't say anything contentious (for once) and I'm quite sure that it'll be deleted soon anyway.

It's already descending into a predictable bunfight.

We won't be able to see Micia if you're banned!

It was warm enough today to have the back door open for a bit. Snowcat thought about going outside and was horrified by how cold and damp the patio was on her delicate little paws.

She is now recuperating in the hideyhole in her cat tree.

Snowcat is a darling.

I did something terrible last night.
I let Linney out and forgot to open the curtains, so I couldn't see when he returned to the window ledge.

I eventually realised, and opened the front door, and he shot in. Poor old bugger. I felt so guilty.

Foster cat has just moved. I went over to settle her in and may have shed a tear when I left.

I always imagine Linney being a girl - but of course, he isn't!

People say much worse things than fuck off in AIBU... Even without swearing in them. But it's such a mix of wind-up merchants and the easily wind-uppable.

I got told to fuck off (completely unreasonably) on a thread a few days ago. I didn't report it but clearly someone did as their post was deleted.
The whole thread has gone now.
I can confirm it wasn't Broon wot did it 🤣

@Kirovasaying goodbye to her must have been so tough. Big hugs to you.

You’re a hero, @Kirova.

@Kirova Well done you that must have been hard

How dare they swear at our Grumpy!! 😁

@Breadcat24what was the thread about?

@Kirova Has bitey cat arrived yet? I'm sure they'll help take your mind off Foster Cat. I'd be rubbish at fostering, I wouldn't be able to let any of them go.

Still hiding but getting more adventurous

Finlay was helping with Lego last night and today has been keeping me company WFH

I think the biter is arriving tomorrow or Monday... It sounds as though he will be a challenge! Foster cat didn't help matters by settling herself on my lap in her new home and puddling and purring heartily. But she's going to have a great life - and a cat flap!

He is so cute, resting on your arm.
I'd like to second posters who say Mumsnet needs to bring back the laughing emoji, and also add the suggestion of a 'double heart' emoji to be used for cats being particularly adorable.

As it is Valentine's, I would like to share a picture of Pud, one of my favourites, taken on Valentine's day some years ago:

Herbie is always giving us little nips and swipes if something isn't to his liking!
We have accepted it as part of his personality (along with general greediness).
We don't take it personally because lots of random cats we meet are extremely friendly!
Lovely to see how Micia is settling in.
And that was a gorgeous foster cat @Kirova .

Continuing the valentine idea, I was thrilled to see an update on the 'New Tiny Kitten' thread: Merlin and Penny snuggled up together! It's just been a few days since she had her ears back, hissing at him. Definitely a double-heart emoji picture 😻😻

@Pudmyboy Lovely pic

What a lovely picture of Pud.

Re - my many men friends: the gay lay preacher arrived at my door with a book for me.

I did not let him in. I accepted the book though.

The strange married man who asked me out before my husband buggered off has not been seen recently. Well, not by me, anyway.

I had a woman friend who died in July and her husband has been very friendly. He asked me to go round for an Eccles Cake today, so I sallied forth to his house.

The last time I saw him, he asked me to try on her engagement ring.

Today, he showed me her wedding dress.

But he's blown it. After the Eccles Cakes, he served baked potatoes.

Done in the microwave.

Reader, I didn't marry him.

I can't, anyway. I'm still married to the bugger who left me.
🤣

However, Mr. Widower has offered to take me to my hospital appointment in Paisley next week.

We'll have to leave the village at 04.30 as it's day surgery and everyone has to get there at 07.30.

Sigh. I'm hoping DS2 will feed the cats. I mean, he will, as long as he isn't in hospital himself. If he is, DD2 will have to feed them.
