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.

He doesn't have a gunky eye but he has had discolouration on the iris for quite a few years. Our vet isn't worried and it clearly doesn't bother him.
Close up to illustrate.

And yes - nothing gets past Sybil 🤣

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats what a beautiful close up of Basil
I have always been unfortunate in the cat photos I take- as soon as I take out a camera or phone they turn round.
And you cannot be posting loads of pictures of cats bums can you

I made a bed today, closely supurrvised by Lex. Frank did start to watch but got bored so turned his back to me and napped. Lex has inspected the bed and decided it is adequate.

Unfortunately I didn't think things through and bought a faux leather bed. I give it a few hours before the first demon starts to sharpen their claws!

@RumNotRun I would be more worried about fur on that colour

Happy new year everyone, kali chrona! 🇬🇷🇨🇾

After ten days in the UK I was so glad to get back to Cyprus. Lovely break but missed my babies so much 😭

Wee Pebbles is booked in for his 'gentleman's operation' on Monday, he hasn't started spraying yet or displaying any antisocial behaviour but he's nearly 5 months old now so 🥜🪓🙀

I've attached some pictures of Pebbles and Kloppy helping me pack my case before Christmas 🙄

I bet the weather’s a lot nicer in Cyprus! Good luck to Pebbles. I recommend Cat TV on YouTube for keeping him quiet after.

Is everyone who’s likely to be affected by it ready for the storm?

@EmpressaurusKitty it was lovely until about an hour ago, now we've got torrential downpours and thunderstorms - we need the rain but this is so heavy it's destroying farmers' crops 😕

Pebbles is snoozing blissfully, unaware his 'nads will be gone forever on Monday 😅

When you find yourself a new cat, try making a funny noise at them right before you take the photo. Then you can get the cat making a wtf face as demonstrated by Kettle here.

Good luck in your search, by the way, the cat that finds you will be a very lucky feline.

The fur doesn't normally show up on my bed sheets until Frederick takes a nap. He sheds more than any cat I have ever had which is a pain cause I mainly wear black.

Gizmo takes the prize in this establishment.

I've never known a cat to shed so much fur. I mean you'd think that Linney would be a prime culprit, having long white fur, but he rarely leaves any on anything.

(Except on dark garments that I'm photographing to upload on to Vinted. He always manages to desecrate anything I'm hoping to get top dollar for)

Hamish the NMK was introduced to cooked chicken today.

History is silent on the subject of its being a famed MN chicken though.
It may well have been just an ordinary one.

Hamish's mum was kicked off MN some time ago for some supposed transgression of the TGs, so (suitably outraged) she may have a distaste for any and all things MN.

I know how she feels

Hamish looks like he approves of the chicken.

(What are TGs?)

Which some people foolishly break occasionally

Ahhh! Thank you. What kind of terrible person would ever break such a thing? 😜

I cannot imagine doing so.

Well not on purpose anyway

Grumpy famously did once.

🤣

I am being wooed by a lay preacher.

I never allow my cats on the work surfaces in the kitchen

Of course not.

Whereas others seem to make a regular habit of it 🤣

Oh, that'll be Allergic.

🤣

Oh really? And is the wooing being met with interest?

I’ve had the occasional slapped wrist but only actually been suspended once. Can’t remember exactly why.

ONCE! Once only many years ago pre cats and that was a warning not a ban.

Must admit I've sailed a little close to the wind on a few threads with completely rabid reborn Christians pronouncing "facts" that are definitely historical untruths....

My ban meant I had to do 'lines'.
