Gladness, Joyfulness and Resolve - the Excellent Cats move on

Calling all Excellent Cats

(Which is all cats, naturally)

Thank you @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne. Here’s a picture of my Halloween display, the real black cat of the house wouldn’t cooperate so it’s a fake one 🐈‍⬛🎃

Thank you Broon (I accidentally typed Broom and after correcting it, did wonder whether I should have left it, as a celebration of the day!)

Just wanted to add this for anyone due to give their furry overlords medication 😀
It's a photo of a screenshot hence the poor quality, but I hope it still makes people smile

Thanks for the new thread, Broon.

Broom would work.
🤣

Thanks Broon.

@Defiantly41
Do we have the same black cat?

A new thread, I can finally return to my usual thread name!

I had a very similar cat years ago, although I think it had a slightly more arched back. I used to work in the police canteen at the time and had to do a trolley run with sandwiches and snacks round the building, so I thought it would be a good thing to take on my trolley a work. I got home tired after being on my feet all day and put the tinsel cat on the floor. Boris and Matilda had come to greet me as usual, but then I realised that they'd both fluffed their tails up and were staring suspiciously at tinsel cat. I tried picking tinsel cat up and banging it up and down a couple of times on the floor to reassure them, but I think I just confused them further.

what do you mean what am I doing?!
I am scratching the hell out of your stairs

Micia’s looking a lot more confident, @Breadcat24!

@EmpressaurusKitty confident to trash the sofa, rattan furniture and carpet! Still runs and hides if the doorbell rings.

She has sat next to me on a sofa twice this week.
I hope fireworks do not set her back

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats, yes I think so. I’ve been trying to get Miss B to pose with it, but she is very uncooperative 😹

Thank you for the new thread, @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne .

I still can't seem to post from my (new) phone. Will try from my laptop later..

😆

😹

Gizmo is trying to work out where Linney has got to. In the middle of the night, I found him staring down the hall, clearly puzzled.
He also looks around when I put his bowl of food down. I'm sad for him.

Oh Broon, It's so awful for the cat left behind.I remember being haunted by my remaining one pricking up her ears when she heard the wind catch the catflap. Much love x

Monty my old pale ginger boy really missed his sibling. He started yowling for him in the night and was out of sorts for months - I really felt for him. They really were bonded though.

A previous cat however, who had never sat on my lap once, became a velcro lap cat within a week of my first cat dying. I think he saw it as an opportunity. 😆
I have found that the cat dynamics change in the house when one of them passes on.

Thank you for the new thread - DP here so I’m out of favour

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats, same here, Miss B was very aloof and definitely not a lap cat until her sister died but now she loves laps

Thanks for the new thread. Happy Hallowwen everyone

Not a cat but happy Halloween everyone

Happy Hallowe'en everyone!

Just picking up on someone's comment in the last thread about being surprised that Summer, the little tabby kitten, still has no home.

The main issue is that she and her siblings were never really "in rescue". The mum turned up stray in someone's garden and I went to scan her for a microchip as a charity volunteer. But the situation became a bit complicated because she did have a chip, but the details weren't up to date. It turned out that she'd been abandoned and the couple who'd taken her in were happy to adopt her. So no need to take the cat into rescue, especially when the charities were all so overstretched post kitten season.

About four weeks later, I visited them and realised that mum cat was clearly pregnant - and the four kittens arrived the next day! They did an amazing job of fostering the kittens till they were weaned, but they had a very small flat and couldn't realistically keep all four beyond that.

The charity got mum cat spayed and the couple have adopted one of the kittens alongside mum cat. Two of the kittens were found forever homes (both kind of through the charity via me). But the fourth kitten hasn't got a home yet and I've failed to find an adopter so far. The charity has enough cats already on their books to re-home (and many, many kittens), so I'm trying to find a home for this little one separately.

I hope I manage to find her a home soon... She is a great kitten. So playful and funny, but also has a huge purr and loves cuddles and strokes. She will make someone so happy, and I can't believe she's the last of the litter to find a home!

It was me who wondered, I hope you find somewhere soon 😻
She is so pretty, those eyes are gorgeous 😻

If Gizmo wasn't such a toerag, I'd have the kitten (even though it's unrealistic because of distance).

I've resigned myself that Gizmo is going to remain an only cat. I can't see him accepting another one.

You know @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats might see that as a challenge, @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne?
