Beautiful. What's his name?

Ohhelpwhatnow · 22/10/2026 19:44

Talk dark and handsome, you can see where he is coming from.

AlmostAnUnderAchiever · 22/10/2026 19:46

Have to agree. Looks like he knows it as well.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 22/10/2026 19:48

Absolutely gorgeous, I so want a cat (or two)

Puppylucky · 22/10/2026 19:49

He's Marvin ! He's an Arabian Mau with a lot of attitude who lives by his own rules . He's a tall dark handsome stranger until there is a rain storm, when he spends the night sobbing on my tummy (he doesn't really understand rain) l'm tempted to try and make him a TikTok cat but I suspect he'd reject the concepts of social and influencing!

Oh Marvin you get more handsome every day.

I would be wary of him with that look on his face - looks like he's weighing up some prey!

Puppylucky · 22/10/2026 22:07

That prey would be me @Allergictoironing !

I can't get over how his markings at the top of his legs line up in the middle when he sits like that! Look! I mean! He's a supermodel! I'd follow his insta!

Poor Marvin - weather IS confusing! My mum's mog HATES the wind and west Wales is about to be hit by Storm Austen - 54mph incoming. She just texted to say: "Lovely Tesco man has just been and I have ample supplies of Dreamies and Lick-e-Lix for His Majesty!" She's not expecting to get much sleep tonight...

Oooh, Marvin the Mau is back! How nice to have an update on him. Getting handsomer than ever 😻

Guiltypleasures001 · 22/10/2026 22:14

He’s beautiful ..but off topic that’s a lovely bit of cutting in along your skirting board 😁

Why can't I be that pretty?! 😫

Isn't that just the stairs going up? 👀

Allergictoironing · 23/10/2026 06:36

Nah, I think @Guiltypleasures001 is referring to the perfection of the boundary between the white skirting board and the dark wall behind. Even professional decorators get the odd wiggle on that, but @Puppylucky has one that looks laser straight.

As it should be, as the backdrop to His Majesty Sheik Marvin!

NoHangoversToday · 23/10/2026 06:52

I am going to confess i have a slight addiction to youtube videos showing stylish Italian men on the streets of Milan. Looking effortlessly cool.

Your cat has exactly that vibe.

Puppylucky · 23/10/2026 07:45

Thank you for your kind comments about Marvin and our skirting! The skirting (unlike Marvin) looks a bit crap in real life but I'll take the compliment 🙂

@Puppylucky he is one beautiful cat!

Breadcat24 · 23/10/2026 15:44

@Puppylucky not to take the shine off the apple but does he still fart all the time?

ToadRage · 23/10/2026 15:47

Stunning! What lovely markings. Got a soft spot for tabbies cos my first baby was a tabby. His name was Max and I had him from 12 weeks.

BillieWiper · 23/10/2026 15:48

Lovely fella. Worth clicking on to see the ears in there too, lovely shape! He's very elegant looking 😍 X

Well remembered @Breadcat24 ! He's less windy since we've got him on better quality food but still lets one go occasionally when he's excited 🤢

His ears are a thing of beauty - and huge. They are fringed on the inside like little lampshades!

@Puppylucky My husband does not have the excuse of being so pretty when he does it

Twogingercats · 23/10/2026 17:26

A fine cat! Would you have a picture including his ears?

Twogingercats · 23/10/2026 17:38

I’m sorry, just read above post. Fine ears too.

Puppylucky · 23/10/2026 17:49

In case anyone is interested here is a closer look at Marvin's spectacular fringed ears - back lit for extra drama
