These two could give Vic a few tips on how to annoy your owner when she's trying to sew.

I actually had to abandon my sewing session that morning as they were driving me mad!They look like they have some serious mischief potential
One was sitting behind the sewing machine grabbing the spool as it went round, another one (off camera) was grappling with the tape measure on the floor pretending it was a snake that had to be killed and the third one was sitting on my lap with his paws around my neck dribbling and declaring his undying love for me for the umpteenth time that day, completely blocking my view!

Mrs SFM h suffers similarly. As a result she tries to do most of her sewing mid-afternoon when our 2 are dozing.

I think the Great British Sewing Bee should have a category called Sewing with Cats. That would certainly test the contestants mettle if they had to put up with what I have to with my lot when I'm trying to make something.

I went to a cat cafe today,
I had been a bit concerned about the ethics of cat cafes, but the cats were very able to come and go as they pleased and were protected by various rules. Though they evidently preferred it when a large group of noisier children left. I was very impressed by how gentle and cat centred my youngest was.
Would you like to see the cats?

Just got home and have been rather pointedly reclaimed by Trillian.

Reminds me very much of the previously mentioned Ping Pong the Destroyer.Green eyes so I would go with Burmese as the cause of the coat colour/markings rather than Siamese - cats with colourpoint coats of Siamese genes (and they are different genes) almost always have blue eyes, and hers look distinctly green.
Burmese have green or gold eyes, slightly darker coat (in the light parts of the colourpoint coat markings), and a rounder face.
She's gorgeous
(except he had more of the tomcat cheeks, but very petite otherwise) Hopefully she's not as chewy/pukey!

My god they grow quickly, it's been a long time since I had kittens and had forgotten how quick it goes.After visitors and a lot of playing/fussing/treats etc, it is super-Sunday snuggles here.

Take that sentiment to the dog thread then.

They are growing well - Diùra in particular, although Sgarba has about doubled in size and they are absolutely inseparable now. Diùra is the more sociable/friendly of the two around new people, but Sgarba will come around for treats/playing but is a bit wary/standoffish at other times but as soon as its back to the three of us, she’s all snuggly/cuddly as ever.My god they grow quickly, it's been a long time since I had kittens and had forgotten how quick it goes.

They are still using two litter trays and I have bought a second litter box but found them both having a visit to each other’s boxes in the last couple of days.

13 isn't old anyway. A few years ago I took on a 17 year old cat who's owner had died. I only had her for a year but what a lovely year she had as she was able to go out into my garden as she'd been an indoor cat with her previous owner as she lived near a busy road. She never went far from the house but she loved lying out in the sunshine on a warm day.

He's lovely. I love his white and grey markings.

Up close he looks brown and white.
He is astonishingly slim, built like a marathon runner, but it seems to be OK with him, fence traverses, and skipping across the grass quite happily.
Quite amazing considering the amount of scrounging he does amongst the neighbours.
He is well liked because he is chilled and pretty single minded.
Has a good snuffly purr most in evidence when food is around or when eating.

Your black and white cat really reminds me of a childhood cat called Snuffy. He was very tolerant of me making him wear hats and things
Holiday cat advice please.
Our kit kits are now around 18 months old, they've been going outside for over a year, we kept them in last year when we went away for 2 weeks, a friend feeds them. We are thinking to keep them in again as we would worry, and the girls are very attached. We also all feel bad about keeping them in.
I think we should stick with our plan and keep them in.

I would definitely leave them in. They won't like it as they've tasted freedom now but it would be much safer.
Does your friend live nearby? As long as they don't mind changing litter trays a couple of times a day and spending a bit of time with the cats it's probably the best solution. Your friend would feel awful if one of the cats went missing or something bad happened to them.

Sonic looked brown in certain lights too.
There's no such thing in nature as a truly black pigment - what we call a black cat is truly a dark brown cat.
A blue cat is one who has dark brown pigment speckled along the hair shafts rather than densely pigmented (this is called "dilute")
So in certain lights you can see a black cat is dark brown or may even look like it has a reddish tint due to the dense red pigment under the dark brown pigment.
And blue cats will in certain lights look paler brown.
(I use the term blue not because it's a "posh term" for a grey cat, but because it describes a particular genotype of grey cats, there are other types of grey cats that have different coat colour genes causing their colouration).
