Carry On Catting - the Excellent Cats do what they do best

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

......... 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.

@learieonthewildmoor i have recently changed medication and am also getting dizziness, usually when I turn my head whilst moving (such as checking for traffic as I cross the road) or move on to my right hand side whilst lying down. It was much worse at first, but most has worn off now 6 weeks in. I'm just currently stuck with the moving head/right hand side bit, it feels like I'm v drunk or have been on a fairground ride.

If you come up with any methods to get rid of the dizziness/vertigo, please share!

When Sybil grows up she wants to be a pirate's cat 🦜

Ooh thank you, I wonder if it's cheaper because we are 1/4 into 2026?
But worth getting for the pictures, methinks!
Edited to add: looks like they are produced yearly so I will be keeping an eye out for the 2027 one!

Finlay has abandoned me in favour of the radiator - I’m bereft!

RumNotRun: I’ll send you a PM with a bunch, Rum. I am going to Do Stuff today so probably tomorrow? Sadly, some involve inducing dizziness and I was given a head turning one to do. Thank you vertigo for being such a shitty problem!
If you want to lie down in my house you need to submit a request for space.

Thanks @learieonthewildmoor weirdly I get dizzy if I lie on my right hand side but not on my left.

I brushed Raven with one of those grooming gloves earlier. She wasn't impressed with the toupee I made her afterwards.

Rum: your vestibular disturbance is probably on your right side? There are a bunch of exercises on the Internet too. That is a terrible toupee. I would be unimpressed too. 😂
I made a final comment on my thread in Chat about how unpleasant the comments are, and am never going back there again. Too few cats, too many nasty comments. Two more people have responded but I am setting the thread free, and staying here where my wordiness and humour is appreciated.

Cat Four is still suspicious of us after her visit to the vet. Unlike Cat Three whose memory cache empties after 16 hours and everything is a new experience for him.

I just saw your thread 😲😲😲

It was a much better toupee but she shook it off while I was trying to get a photo. It lost its shape when I put it back 😁 For a short haired cat, she sheds a ridiculous amount.

Aw Linney sat on my knee this evening!

He never does that. I know it's because I had the heated throw on, but still..........

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, I caught Gizmo in his pre-having-sex-with-the-duvet mode.

He was just about to grab a portion of it in his teeth.

So I took the picture, then shooed him off. I only changed the bed today, after all.

Alaska doing her best innocent face.

Me too. Although I only really want it for the pictures, rather than use it as a calendar. Maybe I should buy it now while it's reduced.

I have a four eared cat on this calendar for this month.

I love that 4 eared cat! I have super chonky Marmaduke from the Cats Protection calendar

@Pudmyboy
You can get next years but you cannot see what is on it!

Thanks, I will keep an eye on that...maybe add to my basket but not buy till I see an image or two. Maybe it means the art is still being created?

I don't know if you are aware but the picture does give some personal details, in case you want to blur them. Just want to say thank you for your work, though, and I hope you get the support you want/need 💐
(Edited to add: unless you are using that picture to illustrate your, different, cat)

@pudmyboythanks - that is just my cat calendar, not my story! I do love that cat though and wish he was mine, but my resident Miss B is resolutely adamant that she should be the only cat in the house and at almost 20, she gets her every wish.

Cats Protection is a lovely charity, and I do volunteer for them ( and weekly resist the temptation to adopt more)

@Defiantly41 thank you for explaining! Miss B is very lovely and being a very tidy loaf!😻
So from my original post, I would alter my thanks on light of your update, to say thank you for your work with Cats Protection! 💐

Alaska has an excellent innocent face, 10/10!

Extreme bad weather here.
Hailstones, freezing cold.

Linney, of course, is agitating to be allowed out. Gizmo took a look from the window, then curled up in a ball by the fire.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne sunny and then hail alternating here, delightful!
Happy Easter everyone

My glam life- I thought the weather had cleared so nipped to our allotment to plant potatoes. All I can say is it was probably better being hailed on in a much manured bed than heavy rain given the potential for splash.
Micia is asleep in her igloo- sensible animal.
She was quite friendly last night

We've treated ourselves to some new mugs this weekend 😁

I'm suddenly very popular with the cats and am surrounded by them. It's got nothing to do with the lamb that's cooked, honest.
