......... 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.

Surely the members of your team hang on your every word, Grumpy?
🤣

Oh yeah - in my dreams 🤣

Sleeping the sleep of the permanently guilty while Raven stands guard.

I wish you hadn't done that. I really don't need to see images of Gizmo making sexy biscuits and we just know, without a shadow of a doubt, that Broon wouldnt need much encouragement to share 😩

I haven't got any pictures of Gizmo shagging my duvet, but I'll take some.

thank you Empressasaurus for bringing the sexy biscuits thread to our attention
I needed a good laugh!

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 18/03/2026 00:28

Grumpy has brought a picture of Gizmo shagging a blanket (from four years ago) to my attention.

I'm sure he'll share it if we ask nicely.

If he doesn't I'll just copy it myself

It's the concentration, biting the blanket whilst doing the deed: very realistic grim!

Argh he does that while I'm lying in the bed next to him.

The concentration is off the scale.

And my duvet cover ends up with small punctures in it. That's actually what annoys me the most.

Punctured by his teeth I really hope !

Breadcat24 · 18/03/2026 15:13

Glad I got a female cat! No humping.
I am (ahem) a bit unwell at the moment, and so spent much of last night in the bathroom.
And I had a little friend sitting with me, going round my legs and asking for head rubs. I also got to stroke her all the way to her very bushy tail. When I stopped she put a paw up on my leg to say carry on.
I have never been so happy while feeling rough

That is awesome Breadcat24! Well, not you being poorly but having a very nice nurse looking after you in your hour(s) of need! And to think you were so worried only a couple of weeks ago that she wouldn't like you. She just needed a little time to decompress and to get as many dreamies as she could. How is she with your DH?

Yes - only had "laydee" cats so wasn't aware that there could be issues in the bedroom!

Hope you're feeling better now @Breadcat24 but if that's what it takes to bring Micia out of her shell... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Needs must!

Breadcat24 · 18/03/2026 15:39

@Pixiedust1234 Thank you. She like us both when we have a plate of cooked chicken! She does not like dreamies ( perhaps does not understand 1 biscuit rather than a dishful).
She is very much a night cat and I think gets a little lonely at night. She probably thought I was up at night to spend time with her rather than sit on the loo!
I am looking forward to when I feel I can pick her up so that I can sync her with the cat flap to the catio. I think she will be less bored when she can go outside- the birds start tweeting at about 5am here.
She definitely has thumbs, but have not had chance to count her toes yet

Pixiedust1234 · 18/03/2026 16:08

My previous rescue thought dreamies were posion and would back away but she loved the Felix goody bag treats, she would even come inside for them. Might be worth a try? She also liked the crunch of their crispy bits on her wet food but ummm she got a little chubby so we stopped those.

The Stray would kill me for the dreamie packets. She's told me that and I believe her 😬

Breadcat24 · 18/03/2026 16:12

@Pixiedust1234 Thank god for Lick-e-lix
I am slightly concerned that after all this treating we will get told she is overweight!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/03/2026 16:34

I'd prefer to be sitting opposite an NMC on the train 😁

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats snazzy outfit though imagine trying to get a cat in that

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 18/03/2026 17:31

I'm glad Micia has proved to be a capable nurse @Breadcat24

Talking of which - a friend came round yesterday, having had some bad news regarding his health, and he was very upset.

To my astonishment, Gizmo climbed on to his knee and curled up in a ball.

So yes, Gizmo can be very bitey and he still swipes at my legs when I go past him, and he hisses when prevented from going into cupboards, and he regularly has sex with my duvet......... but there is good in the boy, too.

I was delighted to discover that Martha (the dog) has a feline partner in crime called William. Not travelling though. 🤣
