Calling all Excellent Cats

(Which is all cats, naturally)

Thanks for the new thread.

Hope November is completely uneventful and just full of Excellent Cats.

@JaceLancs I don't know who is cuter...your grandchild or Fergus! 😻

Eta - is that an Ewok outfit?

I think the only cat Gizmo would accept is the love of his life, and I somehow don't see Grumpy parting with Sybil just to accommodate him!

I asked Sybil what she thought of that idea...

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats Sybil looks like she's laughing - she knows this isn't to be taken seriously 😀

Maybe Gizmo is ready to move on from Sybil and he could fall in love with another long-haired cat...

She is absolutely gorgeous. Alas Mrs G won't let me have 5 cats😆

It's a pity - she's definitely going to have an excellent tail (it's already beginning to fluff up a little bit) so she'd fit in well with the Grumpy Cats.

Pity I'm not closer. Or trying to move house. Or got The Stray (who is technically DDs cat but is my clingy shadow). DD really wants a cuddle cat. I'm sure such a pretty, purry kitten will go soon.

@Kirova I am East of England. Ready to adopt a cat or kitten. Anywhere near you?

JaceLancs · 01/11/2026 16:16

@CatsonPollock thank you! She is chewbacca from Star Wars

I don’t think there was ever a more delicious kitten @JaceLancs! ( and does anyone else now have the theme tune from The Magic Roundabout in their heads?)

JaceLancs · 01/11/2026 22:25

Thank you @Defiantly41
You’ve got me playing it in my head now - showing my age!

Kirova · 01/11/2026 23:15

He is very, very gorgeous and I love his cute personality shining through in your photos too, @JaceLancs😍

London, I'm afraid!

JaceLancs · 01/11/2026 23:31

Thank you @Kirova x we love him dearly - he has healed a huge hole left by the legendary Finlay ❤️

A new (and extra long) tunnel arrived yesterday - great excitement.

On the video, the cats were serenely trotting through it, or sitting down and peeping out of the peepholes. Whereas mine shoot through it, use the peepholes to ambush each other, throw themselves on top of it and ensconce themselves in it in order to make the whole thing shoot across the room. Are my cats ill-disciplined or is the advertisement video unrealistic? 😂

EmpressaurusKitty · 02/11/2026 09:20

I’d say your cats are making much better use of it, @Kirova!

WorthySloth · 02/11/2026 12:09

blatently popping back on for support please. My idiot Wednesday cat is poorly and at the vets. Apparently she was falling all over the place this morning. Child number 4 and my husband took her in. They think it might be neurological which surprises me because I wasn’t entirely sure she had a brain.

Im at work until tomorrow morning and stressing. If they get her home tonight I’m going to pop by for a cuddle.

she’s not insured which is probably a duck move by me however I do have savings put aside for cat emergencies. Will have to see what the tests say. I actually won’t want to put her through loads of invasive treatment tbh for her sake.

wish I wasn’t at work 😢

Breadcat24 · 02/11/2026 16:10

@WorthySloth best wishes for Wednesday cat

CatsonPollock · 02/11/2026 17:17

Sending Power of the Paw 🐾 to Wednesday cat. Hope the vet has been able to help @WorthySloth

Not my cat (or house), but this cat has excellent taste. (I don’t think the harpist was too pleased about this gentleman rubbing all over her instrument!)
