Lenny however needs a rest before he starts searching.

Did you ever see the film Goodbye Lenin? I imagine you looking like the lady main character. But not East German or (presumably) an ardent communist.

Ok, you can have Victoria Hamilton.

That’s great news, @Kirova. He’s settling in really well if he’s washing you already!

Well I've just asked Gizmo and he wants to be played by Errol Flynn.

Linney has gone for a young Colin Firth.

News has spread round the area and Picard would like to be played by Michael Aloni.

Suzy can't decide, but she did point out to the boys that they needed to be played by cats.

That didn't go down well.

@Kirova can we have a picture of the new thug in town?

Tell Gizmo I'm not going to any film with trans cats in it. 😲🤣

And that definitely includes the film Cats.

No indeed.
Or transanythings.

Yes, that's a good idea.
Let's see the biter.

Did he take lessons from Gizmo, by any chance? I gather there's an online course.

I think Herbie took that course.
Also, whatever course that makes them get very 'friendly' with duvets and blankets, Herbie has been doing this lately..

Here he is. Butter wouldn't melt.

Did Gizmo set up the course? He's an entrepreneur as well - no end to his talents and activities. (Security consultant, food critic, etc.)

He's gorgeous - can't believe he's a bitey boy. 🤣

What a darling I am sure he will not bite you

Yeah, Gizmo runs that one, too.

Oh he's beautiful!

Gizmo runs a lot of online learning

He seems like a sweetheart so far (lots of following around, rubbing round legs) but he might be softening us up. Maybe the biting will start once he's settled in properly.

I never really find cats bitey or scratchy though, although one of the two neighbourhood Bengal siblings did once get a bit enthusiastic eating a Dreamie and impaled my finger with her fang.

It's obviously the Open University for cats!

Basil is very bitey (particularly in the morning before breakfast) - but he does it in a very good natured way and always purrs loudly while biting us - still bloody hurts on occasion though.

TC however...

He is part-Bengal, is he not? They seem to have very sharp teeth...

The vet who spayed FC1 thought she was either whole or half Bengal but she didn't do any biting of people, so I can't comment on the sharpness her teeth.

He is part-Bengal, is he not?

Only possibly. I suspect it's a rumour put about by Gizmo himself.

He's a Wee Broon Cat.

He’s lovely, @Kirova.

Kitty takes my hand in her mouth occasionally but I think it’s affection when she does it, she’s never bitten me - yet.

The biter settled himself down in an Amazon box in the corridor last night (it was on its way out for recycling but he's welcome to it) but I awoke at 6am when he jumped onto the bed and stretched himself out beside me and put his head on the pillow. May think he is a human - species dysphoria?

Kitty would never bite you! She looks good as gold 😍

Most of the time! FC2 sounds adorable so far.
