Your daily cat and kitten news

How thick is the plastic on that? I hope Sir Dickhead doesn't decide he needs to mark his territory by clawing at it and wreck the whole thing! :eek:
That'll be Lady Dickhead up there shouting for a second tea. Polytunnel isn't really her territory, she mostly claws stuff up in and around mine. Sir Dickhead has previously been caught scrambling up the plastic of the internal doors halfway down :mad: but they were already shredded. Going to net that gap along the middle of the roof this autumn to keep birds and the bastard ducks out, hoping it'll also discourage the cats...

I might have mentioned before that pretty much everything in my flat looks like someone lost their temper while in control of a chainsaw - very little in it isn't well shredded :D
 
We went away for the weekend to a farm. Meet the farm cat, Leo. He came with the property and no one knows how old he is. He weighs about five stone and always shows up to a bbq empty handed. We've been a few times to the same place and this year he was noticeably older and thinner :( I don't think he'll be there if we go next year. My husband is completely in love with him.

Mine were unimpressed that we went away, again.

I managed to charm a neighbouring kittie this morning, who I think had always been a bit adverse to me. She took some convincing, and didn't go full tummy-tickle, but she definitely enjoyed the nose rub and back massage.

tummy rubs are rarely offered (or advisable even if you think they are) the first time you meet a kitty.

think it took a few weeks before downstairs kitty here invited tummy rubs.
 
Kizzy is still not right, not sure what to do :/
She is being moody, ducking strokes and looks unhappy a fair bit of the time recently. Sometimes looks like she is trying to miaow and nothing is coming out and she was lying on arm of sofa next to me moving part of her mouth like a snarl a few times
Not eating all her food with medication either
She is sometimes more normal, wanting strokes and running around jumping on things
And the vet failed to run her sample the other day :mad:
Either going to have to tell vet everything and see what they say or get her fully checked out
Could just be that she has not fully recovered from whatever issue she has/had
*Big sigh!
Perked up again now and investigating!

Oh I know it's rare to be accepted, let alone welcomed. Most of them taunt you though, if they're comfortable enough with you.

My boy can't get enough of it though. If I'm reading in bed in the evening I'll inevitably have to budge up so he can roll straight onto his back and just take ten minutes of intense tummy-rubbing.

Radar used to let me blow raspberries on his tummy :D ❤️

Jakey also likes tummy rubs. I tried it with Sonic a couple of times and got glared at. He never bit or scratched, but he had a glare that said it all.

I blew a raspberry on Lil’ Bob’s stomach earlier (as close as possible to his belly button) and he’s OK with it. Try it with Vic and it would be a trip to A&E 😼

I don't think I've ever had trouble from a kitty who objected to tummy rubs.

I used to know one kitty who would happily let me hold her, tummy side upwards, in one arm and provide tummy rubs with the other hand. her 'owner' was miffed because 'she doesn't do that'

Estée Elizabeth having her morning roll on the landing.

Her litter tray is in the bathroom, beside the toilet. Until recently, she's been happy with it, but over the past few weeks she's taken to shitting on the floor occasionally. At first I thought it was that the litter needed changing, but that's not helped. I think there must be something else causing her to be upset, but I can't pin it down. There has been disruption to routines - summer break, and my partner stayed here to look after her while I was away for a couple of weeks. Maybe a return to regularity in September will help.
