......... 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.

Gizmo looks massive in that photo

Yes, when he saw it, he said "Does my bum look big in this?" and I had to inform him that it did.

He then started muttering about Cat Mounjaro and Linney told him to stop eating so fucking much.

Linney told him to stop eating so fucking much

I had to agree with that. I couldn't afford Cat Mounjaro for one cat while buying cat food for the other. Also, I'd lose an arm if I tried to hold him still to inject him.

So I'd run out of arms before Gizmo had got past the first fortnight.

I didn't like to say, but he is looking a touch rotund at the moment 🤣

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne declared on another thread that up in Argyll & Bute everyone predicts the weather with chicken bones.

It was a daft thread in many ways but I suspect Linney & Gizmo are running off with Broon’s bones & stripping the chicken off them.

Yeah - that's what I meant to say 🤣

Pudmyboy · 09/04/2026 21:41

The neighbour's cat who likes the snow, today chose to climb my tree in pursuit of a bird, which calmly watched him till he got close enough to pounce, then leisurely flew away. Cat got himself down, no bother, the show-off!

Now that is a cat who is very good at catting, Pudmyboy.

Unlike Joancat, who was having such a lovely time rolling around in the sun that she didn't realise she was next to the pond, and fell in Hmm

learieonthewildmoor · 10/04/2026 02:01

What a shame you didn’t get a video of that, JoanOgden. Hilarious. 🤣
Cat Two has taken to rolling. She looks like a rolled up jumper with legs because she is on the rotund side. Not as fat as Cat Four’s mother, but not the svelte girl she one was.
She doesn’t look like a fatty in this one; it’s not that I fear what she might do to me in my sleep if she found out I was posting unflattering photos of her.

Kitty is waving good morning to everyone. Or something.

@JoanOgden It must have been hard to keep a straight face. Seriously if your cat is prone to doing that then you could make a fortune on You Tube!

Linney is being an absolute sod at the moment.
He will only eat Purina pouches and turns up his nose at everything else.

I've had to order another two boxes of them.

Mind you, he ate some Spam from my lunch today, but I can hardly feed him on Spam. Gizmo had some, too.

We all love Spam in this hoose.

Do you watch The Yorkshire Vet? One of Julian's nurses is a spam nut...

Oh really?
No, I haven't seen it.
She clearly has very good taste.

Now im craving spam 🤣

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 10/04/2026 21:01

Reminds me of secondary school dinners in the 1970s. Spam fritters and chips. Food of the Gods 🤣

HumanToCatBeasties · 11/04/2026 05:56

I don't think I've ever tried spam. Not particularly tempted to.

HumanToCatBeasties · 12/04/2026 07:57

Time to get up, but I'm pinned down by a Matilda beast. Might have to disturb her, as I really want a cup of tea and I'm sure Boris will arrive in a minute to remind me about his second breakfast.

Now we're all up there seems to be something of great interest to cats happening on the stairs. No idea what, all looks uneventful to me. Matilda has even deigned to sit next to Boris for at least 5 minutes, so it must be exciting.

EmpressaurusKitty · 12/04/2026 13:04

Did you find out what it was, @HumanToCatBeasties?

HumanToCatBeasties · 12/04/2026 13:22

No idea. General cat weirdness or visiting ghost cat?

Matilda has a great tail, HumanToCatBeasties. What beautiful colouring.
We are having 3 cats per bed rules here. Cat Four is in the big cat bed under the bed.
She decided she needed Mr.AoTP ‘s arm to sleep. He had no choice but to comply.

Poor Fred had his nest stolen by Raven today. She is "big boned" so there were times when I thought the window was going to end up being pulled out! Thankfully everything remains in one piece and Fred finally has his bed back.

There is someone on the Internalised Misogyny who keeps quoting me but is not being terribly intelligent and is really determined to miss the point, so I’m going to keep hanging out here where there are kittens, instead.

They both look so innocent and peaceful in that photo, Rum. I love photos where all the action has taken place but the story remains.

I have an appointment with my Handsome Doctor today and am really hoping he can put me onto non-spinny meds. I am really bored with lying down all the time.
Here is one of those photos where the action has taken place. I don’t know what happened prior to this, but I suspect Cat Four was involved.
