Bluestocking! The Gerbical

[ifIwerenotanandroid]

Welcome to the Bluestocking, where gerbils dance & quokkas - well, no-one's quite sure what they're up to.

Take your pick

@Bannedontherun, will this do?

Don't give up your day job x

Sucking out the contents, brushing off sundry flakes of coconut flakes slurping my cocktail.

ooo i feel so much better.

I'll have you know that's a hand made, possibly rustic, maybe foraged or ethnic badly drawn cat.

I think the Bluestocking having 7-ish cats, all called Sparticus/pus(s) that are sometimes owls is entirely in keeping.

Or perhaps that's just Boiled's cocktails talking.

Ahem.

And he made the hands really special, just for me.💖

Just off to see if I've won £133million in the EuroMills....

B!gg!r. One lucky star doesn't cut the mustard.

To be fair, you look much more his type! You can have at him all day tomorrow I've got my sister visiting so I'll be otherwise engaged!

I am his Empress of the Hour. What tomorrow holds, who knows?

I have never had a kitten, but i have had cats, suitcase in hand, pregnant and needing a home.

the last cat i had was a street boy he waited for me every morning as i went into work.

i took him home eventually and when i let him out in my garden he just rolled on his back and purred.

He used to bite my arm and fight me at first i think he missed his autonomy.

but once he settled in he used to wait until i came home from gardening and we used to spoon for a nap on my settee i still miss him.

I called him Dylan, and he answered to that.

This is not my cat. Asleep on my bed on my jumper. She hasn't actually gone home for over a year now, so even though she's not my cat I'm very definitely her human!

After all the cats, I need a pint of that Usdgau beer in the 4th cat pic.

It look like it's only 2% so I'll probably need another one later.

I hope the owl hasn't left any pellets in it.

I have two cats. I love them more than a lot of people. They are altogether more reliable.

Here are my two queuing in an orderly fashion for food.
Of course, there is another bowl of exactly the same food about 10 feet away.
Cats, eh!

That's very polite queuing! Do you have one of those ticket machines like they used to have at the cheese counter in Tesco?

I'm currently being asked for breakfast whilst being prevented from actually getting up to make breakfast!

Being asked for breakfast while being prevented from getting breakfast is a very familiar state. @FuzzyPuffling 's second in queue has a slightly star-spangled look as does Rosy.

Who was very weird at dinner time yesterday, running away and hiding and refusing to eat until I picked her up, carried her upstairs and gave her her dish in the shower room where she gets her supper. Obviously something scared her - either the men delivering bags of logs earlier, or maybe a strange cat or dog in the garden. Silly oversensitive tiddles.

Was she actually scared? or just checking how well her training of her human to do tricks was going?

No I think she was genuinely scared. I just hope she doesn't do that thing of losing all the hair on her lower belly and inner thighs, because a black cat with pale skin looks very odd when she does that.

Don't be neurotic, cats!

You think the cat on the right is 'queuing in an orderly fashion'?
Hmmmm... I think it is plotting something, and if I was the cat on the left I'd be worried...

Left hand ( girl) cat is definitely the boss of her brother ( right hand cat). And this is her feeding station so she gets first dibs!

My ginger tom thinks the correct way to lead me to the empty food bowl is to weave in front of me as I walk. I tell him if I fall over there'll be no dinner for him, but he doesn't listen.

Aha, I may have misinterpreted the situation. Right hand cat is not necessarily plotting, but is probably seething with sibling resentment. And possibly plotting

If you can imagine a magpie eating a very large and very cheesy pizza, while bedecked in shiny new jewellery, that's what I've been doing today! No cats to report on, other than the big fluffy one who tried playing chicken with my car this morning, and then rapidly reconsidered 😂
