Your daily cat and kitten news

[moose]

They have just discovered the room with the net curtains. Oh dear...!

Our shredded our lovely ones and ate the bobble trim off the bottom so I had to replace them with crap home made cheapos for a few months.
I'm just about to put nice ones back, no doubt it will go badly.

I was up early this morning, as I was expecting a delivery between 8 and 9 (according to the email from the courier company).
Two of my motorbikes have been at my dad's for the past few years, and I had them transported over to my house a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, the keys for both bikes have gone missing, so I had to order two new lock sets, and those are the packages I was waiting for.
The courier arrived at 8:30am, and I quickly opened the packages to check their contents, which were all present and correct, then I jumped in the shower, before going shopping.
Now, picture this... The shower is downstairs, and if I leave the bathroom door open, which I usually do, I have a view of the back door, which I open in the morning to let the cats come and go as they please, and just as I'd started massaging shampoo into my hair, Bob trotted past, looking all pleased with himself, with a shiny new set of Yamaha keys in his mouth, then disappeared out the back door! I dived out of the shower, grabbed a towel and wrapped it around myself, slipped on my flip flops, and ran out into the back garden after Bob.
Bob was at the edge of the garden, playing with his new toys, but as I approached him he grabbed the keys again and ran into the middle of the garden, taunting me and laughing. I chased after him, but one of my flip flops flipped off, and I slipped on the dewy grass and landed on my arse in the middle of the garden, leaving the towel behind as I put my hands out to break my fall. Luckily, my neighbour was walking past at the time, so at least someone apart from Bob had a fucking good laugh about it!

I do love Bob... the little bastard

So how does this work then?

 

[polly]

I've got kitten-shredded nets too but I'm slovenly so they're still up.

Not my cat but the expression of concern makes me laugh

 

[rubbershoes]

Is Katniss small or far away?



Answer - both

 

[Elpenor]

Car park cat came for a cuddle again today

She'll work it out the moment you fall asleep - and all through the night till morning!

My nights are disturbed enough as it is as one of the other cats has taken to getting into bed with me even though it's really warm at night and I could do without a furry hot water bottle snuggled up to me but I don't like to say No to him in case I offend him.

After about an hour he gets too hot under the duvet and wants to get out and sleep on the bottom of the bed but half an hour after that he wants to get back in again, only on the other side this time. This goes on all night so it's no wonder I wake up exhausted!

Catnip time:

Catnip time:

That love of catnip is a genetic thing. Only around 50% of cats go mad for it. Nice to see yours like it

And you know how cute that clawing and scratching thing is... Wait 'til it's your legs and the furniture

There's lots of different varieties of catnip but it's only the nepeta cataria and the nepeta mussinii that drives cats wild. Last year I bought a pot of nepeta purrsian blue in a garden centre but my cats are distinctly meh about it.

What my lot really go mad for (but obviously aren't allowed to have it) is hormone rooting powder so I have to keep my pot of it well hidden from them. If catnip is the feline equivalent of cannabis then hormone rooting powder is crack cocaine.

All of my lot love catnip, but Bob has a thing for Deep Heat, or anything containing menthol. He goes mad for it. It took me ages to realise why he kept running off with my vape pen. It was because it had menthol juice in it

And last night:

I love how the tabby doesn't even bat an eyelid.

And last night:

Thor used to love cat ear wax. He'd gladly spend his days licking the insides of his family's ears clean.
He was really special, bless him.

Lots of shite family drama has stopped me posting but Lil’ Bob is still a beautiful witchy familiar to Mrs SFM

Hope the family drama is resolved satisfactorily, and as you say you've always got Lil Bob and his brother Vic!

Eeh that did make me laugh. Cant stop rewatching it.

 

[Epona]

Ah as my Jakey is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I love seeing other cats that fall into the same category

Appreciate it chums

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Appreciate it chums

Lilith is a wonderful antidote to the housemate drama I'm currently going through. That's why I love cats, they just want to be fed and loved and don't judge you (well, not as much as humans anyway! )

My legs are already a bit scratched but Sgarba is almost able to jump on to my knees on the kitchen stool, so she just needs to cling-on lightly with he claws. I think they both caught the message to not cli.b my legs. A couple of bits of wallpaper have suffered a bit but that's in line for redecorating next year and the particular furniture they like scratching has those cheap/easily replaced foldy drawers. Im encouraging them hard to use the various scratchers or the mats I have scattered about and so far, its working.

Only my old BD wasn't bothered by catnip but he loved to guard the plants and keep all other cays off them. Every other cat I've had went mad for it!
