Mine walked across a sheet of puff pastry I had taken out of the freezer and defrosted for sausage rolls when my back was turned🙄

My elderly boy has forced his way onto my lap, ejected four tons of fur onto clean leggings, and is KNOWS I won't move him to get myself a gym and tonic.
Bastard.

🤣 I had to knock on to the neighbour’s on Tuesday to collect mine. He’s only young and couldn’t work out that he could jump onto a wheelie bin to get home from their garden!

Tried to tempt me into not going into work today by sitting next to me crying piteously every second I wasn't stroking her while trying to check emails and The Litter Tray updates. Then did the same when I tried to put my shoes on.

Then flung herself down on the floor in front of me writhing around flashing off the soft inky blackness of her silky belly saying "belly rub, belly rub, belly rub" with her eyes. 3 times - as I left the kitchen, outside the living room, then just inside the doorway. Yes she can be a bit of a diva with her over acting!

Tobias on the other hand, waited politely until he knew I was almost ready to leave then placed himself at the designated spot for his goodbye chicken. Took it very gently from my hand, then left me to leave in peace.

Earlier this evening I was being yelled at by Basil and Lenny to provide more food. When I got to their bowls Lenny (as usual) swiped Basil who stepped back into their full water bowl, upturning it and spilling water all over the floor, the newspapers and their bowls.
I had stern words with Lenny.
Nice clean feeding zone after mopping up.

I had my new bed and mattress delivered yesterday, it needed 24 hours to ‘adjust’ so we didn’t sleep on it, the cats somehow opened the door and slept all night on it! It’s now all hairy and I haven’t even put any mattress protectors on so it’s the brand new mattress that’s covered in hair!

Mine brought an absolutely massive magpie to my back door and proceeded to fling it around (dead).
One for sorrow indeed.

Swore blind he hadn't been fed a mere hour earlier

oviraptor21 · 09/04/2026 19:40

Absolutely nothing. She has me wrapped round her little paw. Both she and I know it and wouldn't have it any other way 🥰

Dillydollydingdong · 09/04/2026 19:48

Watched me sitting on the sofa eating dinner. Jumped up beside me and asked if he could share. I'm sure he was dribbling. He likes fish pie!

My kitten knocked a small mirror on a stand that has a place to keep bits in at the bottom off my window sill and now can't find one of my earrings.

More funny than annoying - he got excited when some birds came on the TV during that 'Secret Garden' nature programme, staring up at the screen, clearly wanting to pounce on them. It was a vista of tasty snacks for him 😆

Inarightpickleandpreserve · 10/04/2026 22:37

His under my daughters bed right in the back corner with his back to me so the black fluff camouflage into the dark corner.

I spent 30 minutes psss psss ing, looking under the couch, behind things, checking the doors were closed, shaking dreamies, just when I was about to panic his little head pokes out the corner as if to ask me what was I making a fuss about?!

Charlie has lost weight (unlike his owner and brother who also need to shed weight) and has decided to be energetic and almost kitten like in his menacing behaviour he worked out how to climb a roll of carpet (i injured my back so I cant fit it at the moment) and jumped on the doorframe he spent an excessive amount of time dithering between falling on the television and sliding to the floor fortunately he jumped on soft furnishings instead

Brought in a very much alive and fast mouse which she has since lost in our front room. We’ve turned the room upside down trying to catch it ourselves but no luck. We’re currently coming to terms with living with a mouse as well as two cats…sigh

Bonnie swiped at cat for jumping over the fence from next door garden. Then swiped at my other cat for coming to see what the argument was about 😦 bonnie - fluffy the perpetrator. Cookie (black and fluffy) the fence jumper and last but not least... Whisper the innocent bystander 🤣🤣🤣

Oooh, I'll have a look when they're both in the room, thank you!

shellyleppard · 11/04/2026 09:29

@FoolOfShips just look for cat TV on YouTube....there are loads of different ones. Mine love the birds and mice 😀

Shedmistress · 11/04/2026 09:31

I tried Cat TV with one of mine and he loved it, tried his more feral bother who is currently holed up in recovery and pre-neutering and he growled, ran away and wouldnt go near that side of the room for the rest of the day.

Amazingly, none of mine have annoyed me yet today.

Bastard.

Ive given up wearing black. Not with a mostly white cat.

Old cat came upstairs reeking of something last night. I checked her all over and her bottom to make sure she wasnt injured or pooey. Couldnt find anything but she showed me her fangs for my troubles.
I think it might be fish farts but Im not sure.

Anal glands? The stink is impressive

Humped his sister very vigorously. Neither she nor I were impressed.
