......... 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.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcatsyou have a live action version of Sylvester and Tweetie Pie at your house!

@learieonthewildmoor Don't worry, he embraces his possum looks. That's his nickname by my best friend. Most if the hair on his body has grown back now and it is the silkiest fur out of all the cats. He also gets in very cute affectionate moods and makes funny little meows to ask for the attention, before purring like a tractor! He is an odd little beast, definitely one of a kind!

And as always, I forgot the photo!

I’m sorry to say that I do not like cats without fur. Sorry Rum, please don’t tell Lex. The whole point of a cat is fur and purring

Wow. I can't believe you posted that @learieonthewildmoor
Lex can't help his looks. SMH.

I think Lex is adorable.

Grumpy's picture reminded me of something:

My DD and her cat had a houseshare with another cat and a hamster. When hamster was in it's cage it was hamster tv for the cats but when put in it's exercise ball that hamster turned the tables and hunted those cats down and used them as skittles. She managed an impressive number of strikes 😂

Edit
I think learie's cat 4 should donate some of her lovely tail fur to poor Lex. However Lex seems to have improved his skin/fur ratio massively since I first came across these cat threads so Rum is obviously doing/feeding something right ❤

@RumNotRun Lex is definitely looking furrier. Such a sweet natured boy too. Will he grow it all back did they ever say?

I love that!

@RumNotRun, Kitty’s flattered but says she’s happily single nowadays & was never into long distance relationships. She’s sure such a fine figure of a Tom won’t have much trouble attracting a more local queen though.

Lex wouldn't know what to do with a girl cat. He's more if a mum's boy 😁

The vet never knew what was wrong with him so there were no predictions. I think he's probably as furry as he will get. @learieonthewildmoor please don't think either of us were offended! It made me laugh, especially when you said he looks like a possum. It's so odd though cause he was such a handsome kitten that he was known locally as "pretty face" and my neighbours all thought he was female as he was too beautiful to be a tom 😂😂

I hope all the cats and humans are enjoying the sun.

Toad is getting high from catnip spray, while I enjoy a glass of wine. The others are all on various cushions (and Fed is in his window nest) getting very placid and relaxed in the sun.
