......... 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.

@Breadcat24 Micia seems to be improving in leaps and bounds! So glad she's starting to settle down ❤

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats I love those mugs! I'm hoping you'll tell me they are from Asda rather than Harrods 😂

Spotted them in a shop window in St Albans. Couldn't resist then at £3 a mug.
I've found that they have a website 😁

Oh dear this isn't going well. Apparently we have that shop in our shopping mall so I'm looking at their mugs. All 522 of them. But the really weird thing is that some of them remind me very vividly of my grandparents house in the 70s and I can't figure out why. I'll see you all in May at this rate 😂

RumNotRun · 05/04/2026 21:56

Oh, Flying Tiger is amazing. It's full of things you never knew you needed. Their stationery is great. I have banned myself from the shop and the website!

Cat Three helped me play in the garden yesterday. He would be a very good supervisor if he had an attention span of longer than 3- make that 2 minutes.

I would like to change the terms of my slave contract with Cat One but am unsure who to go to in order to achieve this. Presumably someone who does not capitulate when whacked on the head with claws.
Mr. AoTP gave Cat One his million dollar biscotti at The Usual Time when he jumped on the table and whacked me on the head. Maybe half an hour later he returned, whacking fiercely, so I asked Mr. AoTP to put out the Fancy Feast, much to the rejoicing of all the other cats. THEN THE BUGGER CAME BACK AND WHACKED ME ON THE HEAD AGAIN.
Really pissed off, I got up and fed him his million dollar biscotti and the bastard has gone off happily to sleep. Apparently only I can give him said biscotti.

Here is my cat related find from flying tiger...I think it's a noodle bowl. But DH is always leaving batteries lying around (the catflap kept playing up and leaving Herbie outside and we kept replacing batteries in it!)

@RumNotRun if I go in flying tiger, I don't think I've ever left empty handed!

Do you need paracetamol? Or a hat made out of a cushion, perhaps.....or Cat One could wear soft padded gloves?
(Sorry I have just eaten a Terry's Chocolate Orange Easter egg so am experiencing a bit of a sugar rush..).

JoanOgden · 06/04/2026 20:00

Cat One only does it because he loves you and feels so deeply connected with you, learieonthewildmoor.

At least, that's what I tell myself when I'm having a lovely snuggle in bed with Joancat and she suddenly slaps me across the face.

learieonthewildmoor · 07/04/2026 00:36

Cat One is doing that because he is a bastard cat, Gizmo’s brother from across the sea. You wouldn’t put up with this shit from people.
He’s obviously in secret communication with Joan cat, too.

learieonthewildmoor · 07/04/2026 00:41

Am going to point out to Cat One how all the other cats in this house manage to communicate without whacking and he should get with that program. Look at how adorable Cat Two is! Be more like her!
A hat would make me too hot, Pudmyboy. Maybe I’ll stop sitting at the table. 🤔

I have discovered that Frederick is not a Real Cat. I bought them a window bed, put it up yesterday, and this afternoon there is this...

We all know cats don't use cat beds so Fred must be an imposter. Ghostie (underneath) is quite confused by his treachery.

@RumNotRun Frederick is a beautiful imposter
Still amazed Micia sleeps in her igloo.
Do they know nothing of the cat creed?

Allergictoironing · 08/04/2026 19:23

When I only had one cat hammock, all was well until Tobias discovered it. I came home to find him ensconced in it, and Girlcat determinedly lying on top of him - it was HER hammock. I now have 2, side by side.

What do you think he is really? A changeling?

RumNotRun · 08/04/2026 20:12

@EmpressaurusKitty perhaps a tiny little polar bear, or a semi-sentient marshmallow?

Kitty was very sorry she couldn’t make it for lunch after all. I think she’d have liked to meet a semi-sentient marshmallow.

Cat One has confirmed whacking you in the head does eventually get him what he wants.

Gizmo looks massive in that photo!

Broon, Lex wanted me to send a photo of him being adorable to you.

Gizmo getting scritches!! DS1 has superior cat magic powers.

AlwaysRightISwear: Cat Two knows that sitting in front of the cupboard where the Greenies are gets you Greenies.
Cat Three knows that herding you into the laundry and sitting in front of an empty plate gets you moat Food.
There is no reason for Cat One to whack me, other than this is his preferred method of communication. #bastardcatsarebastards
