......... and try to break into the film industry.

It'll be an unlikely success as they'll have to stay awake for long periods while filming goes on.

Well. Unless they decide to make Carry On Sleeping.

Ah - a purring Micia and an adventurous Stripey.
This thread truly is a saga of excellent cats 😻

Katja has her annual booster jabs and checkup on Saturday. Please send your thoughts and prayers I make it out unscathed getting her into the carrier 🤞🙈🤣

Ooo, I did not know that! I won't put it out again. Thanks for the info.

Well done Micia and brave Stripey! Clever kitties.

Kitty looking gorgeous, as ever. She really is the most photogenic cat - looks stunning in every picture.

FC2 is extremely difficult to photograph, because he immediately tries to stand on his head or pushes his face into your hand, which I think is code for, "why are you holding that silly thing in your hand instead of using your hand to stroke me?"

DD is desperate for us to take the "poor sick kitty" or the two rambunctious tuxedo boys as the next inmates. She is, naturally, uninterested in the placid happy tabby cat who is not reputed to exhibit any challenging behaviour.

She's already got a glint of intent in her very gorgeous yellow-green eyes, I'm sad to say.

Thank you! And that lovely poster showed some very proper & flattering appreciation of the Excellent Cats.

Breadcat24 · 06/03/2026 18:14

Picture of Micia chilling
I can now go up to her when she is doing this and she does not run off and lets me rub her head.

Duct tapes Breadcat to this thread.

She's coming round quite quickly now. You've flicked the switch!

Breadcat24 · 06/03/2026 18:22

I am biased but I think she is cute

Micia is so lovely @Breadcat24 !
Glad she is settling in.
Herbie had his bravecto yesterday and I am now the proud owner of a scratched finger.
We didn't get the gardening gloves ready and thought we could manage without!

No bias necessary. Micia IS cute! 🥰

She's going to be sitting on your lap in no time 🤞🏻

RumNotRun · 06/03/2026 18:44

@Breadcat24 Micia is gorgeous, I love her little white bib.

Don't swear at anyone on other posts, just close the thread and stroke Micia.

@Breadcat24 step away from the AMA thread immediately.

By order of Linney.

Thank you Linney
I did do one last comment- bad me. I am working part time on EU projects to get sustainable nutrition and sufficient protein into the diet of the poor.
That whole AMA thread was supremely tasteless

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 06/03/2026 20:04

That whole AMA thread was supremely tasteless

Yes. It's exactly the sort of thread which invites people to say things which get them banned.

Not that I have any personal knowledge of this process

Last night I had a battle of wills with the cats.

They declined to eat their final pouch of delicious cat food, and I declined to serve an alternative to them.

This meant that their tanks were running on EMPTY when I went to bed.

I should have known better.
I should have known that they'd keep jumping on top of me, crazed with hunger, until 4 am.

Argh why did I try to WIN? I lost in the end. I lost five hours of sleep while Linney walked on my head and Gizmo had sex incessantly with my duvet.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne Currently Micia as an ex stray will eat absolutely anything. Rescue advised me to keep her on Felix original which looks horrible. I an sneaking in roast chicken and sheba and bits. How long before you think I will create a picky food cat?

RumNotRun · 06/03/2026 21:36

(please ignore the missing wallpaper) I feel like I'm in the beginning of a horror film.

@RumNotRun Bit worried about the cable ties on your banister is it safe

😂 It's fairy lights wrapped round the bannister, not cable ties, although in this house I've had worse over the years. There was a period of a few months when I had no upstairs spindles or bannister. It made late night bathroom trips a bit fraught 😁

Breadcat24 · 06/03/2026 21:52

Thank goodness!
