Get A Compass! The Excellent Cats embrace a new rallying cry

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

........... even though none of them understand what it means.

Fred has been posing tonight.

@RumNotRun While Fred is beautiful you know we are all waiting for a picture of a cat in the running wheel don't you?

Apologies @Breadcat24This is Raven on the first day. I have a video of Fred in it chasing a laser and he got in it today for a little go without any laser bribery. Toad has also played a bit but only when I used the laser. I'll try to get some better photos.

@RumNotRun Thank you
I so wish you could post videos

I know, it's a pain. The wheel is now against the wall under the TV so it's in the line of sight for me. Hopefully I'll manage to catch Fred in it later.

Is it noisy?

Kitty is wholly blissed out.

No, it's fairly quiet. I managed to get a photo of Fred exploring it

A bit more playtime this evening with the laser.

It's lovely now that Girlcat has decided that I need a cuddle monster since losing Boycat, but sometimes I wish she wouldn't be so determined at a bad time. She's started to want fusses first thing in the morning - as soon as I've gone downstairs and before I've even done their breakfast or put the kettle on. And she seems to wait until 2 minutes before I'm going to bed to do the pathetic squeaking noises and begging me for cuddles.

I find it terribly hard to deny her the pleasure, but sometimes it really isn't possible to indulge her - then I get "The Look".

My friend sent me this picture of Linney in the churchyard today.
He was probably seeking forgiveness for trying to pull my knitting apart yesterday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIZMO 🍾🎂

I was at an autojumble today.
Very pleasantly surprised by two of the occupants of one of the ouside stalls.

Did you take two of yours with you, or is it a requirement of your hobby that members have to have fluffy dark cats? 😻
Edited to add: or was that your stall?

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne Happy Birthday Gizmo

It's the first time I've ever seen a cat at a show - and we've been running the parts business for about 30 years. Not sure what ours would make of it as they don't have leads. 😁

Ooh! Someone has a birthday?

Happy Birthday Gizmo!

I was assuming that Gizmo's old Dad had the date right when he told me this today.
Actually it might be the 17th May 🤣.
Close enough.

Happy birthday Gizmo! Is he having a party, @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne? I bet the school kids would love to throw one for him.

Happy Birthday Gizmo!

I liked Kitty's board so much I got one for you too, do you like it?

Happy birthday Gizmo, I hope your mum got you many presents!

Gizmo had a lovely birthday.
He and Linney were outside for most of it.

This gave me the opportunity to get on with my jigsaw puzzle without having to worry about cats scattering the pieces.

I also did some knitting. Linney is fascinated with it, and believes that I've bought an expensive new toy for him to enjoy.

So I threw him out into the garden.

Happy birthday, Gizmo! Will you let him poke around the bathroom as a treat? 😉

@EmpressaurusKitty I think Kitty is the equivalent to to a Which reviewer on cat toys!
Micia is still getting used to the click on her chip cat flap so I have decided she might as well have another month of whole indoor and outside catio to give the baby birds a chance (mid june release 😟. I think she is a bit bored though and she will get fat if she just lies about, so I am after recommendations for toys.
She like catnip mice and we can bowl them at her and she catches them and rolls about. She does not care for fishing rod toys and runs away. I am not sure she is up to a wheel like Rum's lot or an ouija board so can you suggest anything please

Kitty had the Yeowww catnip banana for her birthday & loves it, @Breadcat24.
