@Pudmyboy are you enjoying your Quordle puzzles? I only ordered small ones - some are quite quick to do and others are taking me a few evenings - doing a cat one tonight

Congratulations to your son Grumpy.

Nicely posed hand @JaceLancsto show off your fancy nails! 😍

Fred has collapsed dramatically today, I think he's feeling warm!

Fred looks super comfy. I guess toilet rolls would make quite a nice bed.

Who needs an Andrex puppy?

Vix was an absolute nightmare for shredding anything paper related. Toilet rolls and kitchen rolls were her speciality, but she tore up some of my note pads, the packing paper that Amazon use, paper bags, and on a couple of occasions, even the front covers of a couple of my books.
Thankfully, Fred is a gentle boy and just napped on the toilet rolls then moved to my bed.

EmpressaurusKitty · 30/05/2026 21:27

Kitty dabbled in toilet rolls but rapidly lost interest. Which was a relief.

Better toilet rolls than wallpaper - both Boycat and Tobias's favorite. Zero point in ever replacing it, will just be shredded again in a few days/weeks. I have places where they've gouged into the plasterboard!

In a previous house our little buggers absolutely wrecked the wallpaper too. Only painted walls in our current place - much more cat proof.
Just need to get rid of the wrecked carpets now 🤣

When Wedgwood has zoomies usually after depositing in litter tray he scrambles up architrave ripping wallpaper on his way to top of door frame!

Finlay was asleep amongst the LEGO again last night after a 2 day walk about

I bought some Nepeta (cat mint) today at a garden centre. I think Toad approves. Whether it will actually manage to live and grow in my garden is another matter. I am not at all green fingered, but the last plants I planted haven't died yet so fingers crossed!!

RumNotRun · 31/05/2026 15:35

My photos won't upload via the app for some reason so I'm giving it another go on the browser.

Cut back after flowers fade for new crop of flowers.

It is so hot here that you have to lie on your back with your legs in the air

Thank you. I will remember that!

Bit worried about Finlay today after his usual disappearing act he came home last night ate loads and fell asleep
Today he seems very lethargic and won’t eat - took him to the vets and he didn’t even want to get out of the carrier
They are keeping him in for blood tests and ultrasound as when this happened in a similar way before it was because he couldn’t urinate and we lost his predecessor Reuben to an impacted kidney stone

Hope he recovers soon, @JaceLancs.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 31/05/2026 18:26

Keeping fingers crossed for a rapid recovery for Finlay. 🤞

Pudmyboy · 31/05/2026 18:47

Oh Finlay! I hope it's just the heat and he is back to normal very soon @JaceLancs 💐

@Pudmyboy are you enjoying your Quordle puzzles? I only ordered small ones - some are quite quick to do and others are taking me a few evenings - doing a cat one tonight

I must confess I have only recently placed an order, I put loads in my online basket then had to be ruthless about whittling them down to just four.
I will post pics when they arrive, some are for presents so will remain sealed up.

Breadcat24 · 31/05/2026 20:11

@JaceLancs best wishes for Finlay
