No dialogue. Just plot.
We've had to give Daisy a shower on a couple of occasions due to this. Ok when its the 2 of us but not easy on your own. The joys of owning longhairs.

I have mentioned before how Mrs P is a bit of a cat magnet when we walk around our area.
On the way home from Lee station this lunchtime this little beauty rushed out to greet (us) her with much talking, and followed half way down this road, on and off walls with loads of friendly and appreciated catting.

Magnificent floofy tail and whiskers!
I've mentioned before that my preferred cat type lacks really great whiskers - they have them of course, but they are typically quite short and held close to the face, rather than being a massive piece of facial adornment and kitty detection system.
I do love seeing a really great set of whiskers on other cats. (They have great tails, but not floofy, just long and "whip like")
Oh dear what have you done

A whole year today since we got Trafford and Dobey! I don't know where it's gone, but it's mostly been a delight. Remembering how we initially spied on them via Zoom when they first arrived, to the weeks when they wouldn't come out of the top of the wardrobe. They still have their skittish days, but are still lovely with each other most of the time.
Planning their snow strategy, yesterday morning.

I'm feeling very down today.
It's the 5th anniversary of Radar's death today, and the 3rd anniversary of Sonic's is tomorrow.
I fucking hate this week, I always feel very tearful and anxious, and this year my grief for Jakey is still fresh.
Combine it with the festive season being over and the weather typically being grey and cold, I never fail to feel like utter shit all week.
(Plus our toilet is broken and N & I have been arguing about it, probably have to buy a new one and pay to have it installed which is more expenditure we could do without (but we can't be without a loo for too long) so that's more stress on top).
On the plus (sort of, at least) side, I received a feline food delegation at 5am this morning - both of them perched on me staring)

(((( Epona )))) It's a hard time of year for you, and as you say, that's on top of the recent loss of Jakey, the domestic shit and January blues. I hear you about multiple things going on at once. Glad you've got the kittens and their mischief to take the edge off it!I'm feeling very down today.

Ahh, they know you're upset too, I bet you. For such contrary creatures, they do exhibit great empathy when they suspect you're sad.I'm feeling very down today.

moose - that picture is PERFECT 
Being kittehless I only have a couple of images from art history to share.
First from Pompeii: a hyperactive Louis Wain cat millennia before his time, done in Roman mosaic:
And after several urbanz' cats festive food adventures eating things they shouldn't - a painting called Cats fighting in a Larder by Dutch rococo master Paul de Vos (probably around 1630-1640) :

Delighted to hear his bum's OK, sorry to hear about the overgrooming flaring up though.
If he's had a bit of abdominal pain/cramping due to having the shits, it might well be a response to that I guess?

Lovely one of the kits snuggling on the covers over N's legs as he napped this afternoon 
Wish I could get better photos of their eyes, Anakin (left) has deep blue irises and Atlantis has paler icy blue eyes - both very pretty.
All my previous cats had green eyes (also very pretty!)
Am glad I got 2, they get along well and play together a lot.

Thats a cracking photo showing them loving their new home.
Ta. No, it's been building over the last week or so. I tapered his last lot, cos we were meant to be seeing how he reacted to the new food, but it's got to the point where I need to intervene, cos the itching is clearly driving him mad poor lad.
We'll get there in the end.

Aren't they just?
I think they'd both do well in shows - Atlantis especially as he is a rarer colour/markings combination - without a car it would be tricky though!
They are both little terrors, I gave them some cardboard boxes and they tried to eat them

The one on the left (Anakin, yeh?) : his ear whiskers are positioned so that I thought for a moment he has four ears.

No just massive Siam/OSH ears with typically big "lobes" or "flaps" or whatever they are called in cats

During this cold weather I like to put food out for the crows and jackdaws as well as the little birds so any leftover bread, cake or pasta gets put out for them but as soon as my cats see the food, they rush out and try to eat it themselves before the birds get a chance so I have to shake the dreamies packet to get them back in. It's not even food they like and if I offered it to them in the house they'd walk off in disgust.

A bit excessive cutting down a whole tree just to make a bird table.

They also used some of the bits of chewed off cardboard to make cardboard soup in their water bowl
