I will always remember the guy at the British Wildlife Centre (sort of between Godstone and East Grinstead) talking about their wildcats...
"You may think they look like a housecat, but there is one major difference. If you care for and feed even a feral housecat, it will come to - at the very least - tolerate you and perhaps even like you. This guy... He's behind me, isn't he? He hates me. If I took one step out of line, he'd shred my trousers in a moment. And I've been feeding him for years."
Scottish wildcats are top tier.
Took this picture of one back in 2021 at the British Wildlife Centre. He oozes contempt doesn't he?

That cat looks very like my Jakey, he's also a lilac OSH
Jakey doesn't have the right sort of attitude and posture for looking like a hired killer though

He’s grown up in a musical household so he’s a Rock’n’roll cat

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
Hello thread. Sorry to say, it's that time again.
RIP Little Miss. Around 20 years old we reckon. Ultimately she was a little old lady with a heart condition, so we knew it was coming. Still heartbroken though.
She walked into our lives back in 2005 or 6, we're not sure exactly. Didn't know where she came from, just kept turning up and eventually stayed. I was walking out of the front door one morning when she decided to come with me. I was just saying hello to my neighbour when Miss saunters past and my neighbour says "oh, there you are!"
Turns out they'd rescued her from a scrap yard. She'd already had a litter of kittens, one of which my neighbour kept, plus they had a dog - and then they got another cat. Can't think what the appeal of our pet-free home was Plus my neighbour had named her "Tiddles" so fuck them. She got pregnant again really quickly, I'll never forget her coming to get us because she knew she was going to give birth, kept miaowing at us, and heading for the stairs, over and over until we got the message.
My neighbour moved away and that was that. She loved sunshine, sitting on your lap, little mouse toys and, latterly, sleeping in the sun, preferably on your lap. Lately she'd taken to waking me up around 5am so that she could climb into bed with me. I love her and I will miss her every day.
2006 with the kittens
2007 looking young but a bit out of focus
2016 with the also much-missed Rollo, they spent hours and hours in that basket
2018 in the Christmas decs bag, every bloody year she'd do this, even Christmas just gone
May 2023, fur was starting to show her age a bit here
You were a fabulous companion.

Really sorry to hear about Little Miss - sounds like she packed a lot into her years and found plenty of happiness with the companions she picked.

Life is a horizontal fall.
Toby toes currently laying by the side of me getting a fuss. He does that every night without fail.

Epona, you asked previously if feral Harry has been chipped. I am glad to say that Mick of Mick and Wendy did it when Harry first adopted them.

i haven't forgotten about trying to construct a letter to cats protection about how it's all supposed to work in practice.
friend in plymouth has a part time interest in a kitty who just turns up every couple of weeks, stays for a couple of days, then buggers off again. i'm not quite sure where the new law would leave them.
and in other news, downstairs kitty used some most improper language with me when i went outside earlier - think her people have gone shopping or something, and she was most offended that i didn't open her front door and let her in to her flat. i have tried to explain this to her before...
