......... 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.

I don’t suppose there’s any chance of another neighbour adopting FC2, @Kirova?

We-ell, my friend (not neighbour but very nearby) has been desperate to adopt a cat for some time but has been knocked back from most charities because she doesn't have outdoor space. But we feel FC2 would do better as an indoor only cat, so it may be the perfect place for him...

OMG I've got endless pictures of Gizmo contorting himself like that.

I cannot work out the size of Gizmo. In all of Grumpy's TC pictures he looks like a giant beast, but in yours he appears fairly normal-sized.

Ahhh Rum!! What is Fred's plushie? Is it a bat?
Ah I'm so glad they have been reunited. Bless him ❤

I agree but didn't dare say anything . Either Grumpy's furball clan are all under 3kg or his camera adds several pounds at certain angles.

I vote your friend adopts FC2. They neeeeeeed each other 🤗

He's a normal-sized tabby cat.

I love that photo.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 27/02/2026 16:52

He's large but not enormous. Does that help, 🤣
I seem to remember 5-6 kilos but Broon can confirm.
Basil is a sinilar size to that, our other three are around 4kg

@Kirova what beautiful cats who would not want them?

I knew when we took her on Micia was nervous. Nothing like the rolling around yours do
So cross friend of husband came around at 11am wanted a photo of the cat chased her round ( I was not about I would have clonked him) now she has been hiding under the bath for 5 hours.
what a plonker

Breadcat24 · 27/02/2026 16:56

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne gorgeous photo

Ahhh! They're kissing! Brothers 😍

stormsandsunshine · 27/02/2026 17:00

@Breadcat24 that is so annoying! Poor Micia.

For what it's worth, though, I reckon she will be able to distinguish between husband's scary friend and you and it won't set her back with you.

The charity I'm fostering for are really careful (or fussy, depending on your interpretation) about not rehoming cats until they've settled. So most of the cats stay in foster for a bit until they've recovered from their health issues, or stopped peeing in the shower and savaging people, etc.

And some of them (I think FC1 is in this category) are fine, but they just like to see how they settle and if they have anything weird going on before anyone commits to taking them on permanently.

Breadcat24 · 27/02/2026 17:02

@stormsandsunshine I hope so what a wazzock. She was having a chilled time in her igloo poor beastie

Breadcat24 · 27/02/2026 17:07

@Kirova they are lucky to have you.
I could not foster I would keep them all.
We have moved from under the bath to under the bed but I am still raging at the photo happy muppet

CatsonPollock · 27/02/2026 17:12

@Breadcat24 i know you (we all) want Micia to be a loving and approachable cat but next time your visitor returns he really deserves this...

If he comes around again and wants to take a picture he will be needing a colposcopy to find his phone

Breadcat24 · 27/02/2026 20:54

Yes, I was wondering how a man could ever need a colposcopy.
