Your daily cat and kitten news

[fucthest8]

Colin has committed GBH on another pigeon

Managed to get it before he killed it - he's torn out most feathers from pigeon's back and chest but it doesn't look like anything is broken or bleeding so my mum (Mrs Doolittle) has put pigeon in a box in a warm dry place with food and water. Probably futile, but fingers crossed.

Bloody fucking cat

Obligate carnivore mate, what you gonna do? Put him in a brightly coloured ruffle?








Oh.

 

[fucthest8]

Settling in, exploring, all worn out

WHY CAN'T I SEE THE KITTEN????!!

 

[colacubes]

For the second day in a row the cat has very proudly strolled in with a toy which I can only assume he has nicked off next door's cats I'm going to have to go and apologise profusely and take them back Little fucker

The magnetic catflap's mostly doing a good job of keeping enemy pusscats out, but it does mean that every day's a bit of a lucky dip. Normally it's screws, nails and tin cans but today he's brought me 1 eurocent!

New Purrmaids duvet cover (scuse the wrinkles - cba!) with added purr.

Breezes eye seems no worse, maybe a bit better. You can kind of see she's not got the left one open quite as widely as the right. I decided though to sit wait rather than braving the queue at the open surgery this morning. Any suggestions other than occasional eyedrops to keep it comfy?

First vaccinations for the kittens this morning and we found out Oscar (tabby) is a girl.

When we've had issues with cat's eyes in the past - Mrs Voltz swears that a used (and allowed to cool down) moist, tea bag, gently pressed on the offending eye has healing properties

Love the duvet

 

[izz]

Breeze's left eye may be a teensy bit smaller than her right CRI but from the photo alone I personally wouldn't be that concerned, other than teabag (je suis Mrs Voltz) and monitoring closely for a couple of days. Duvet's tres cool.

I've upgraded the cats scratch tower. After the boys grew up it was wobbly and wonky so got stashed in the garage. Have added the tall carpet wrapped post to add height and stability and rescrewed all the other joints

Resident cats approve

Wow, that's impressive. My cats, none of them, ever, have appreciated any of the additional architectural features I've provided for them. The only time an addition was successful was when someone else nailed a board to the wall. Right now I've got two different cat beds in the house, neither of which has ever been used, despite changes of location, staying in the same place, being in the place he wants to be, feliway spray, sprinkled catnip, one of my socks..... Nope.

Anyway.

In another thread I detailed the makings of a lovely Negroni. And I'm currently listening to my light-up music whilst preparing myself to go out to see a huge bunch of old-time pals from before-the-divorce, and the Ex's current squeeze. And some one who might-but-might-not for me. It's all fine, y'know, but.

So I came upstairs to get sorted, and One-eyed-cat is a-snoozin on the bed. He's not an especial fan of music, this I know. And this in enormous contrast to Bitch-cat-from-hell, who loved music so much that she'd sit in front of the speakers and purr, or actually attack the music system if she didn't like what I was playing. Seriously. She'd reach in the back of the turntable cover and knock the arm off the record, or try to gouge out the front of the CD loader. It wasn't random. She knew what she liked. A human musical person of her acquaintanceship would heed her opinion: if she walked out the room, it weren't no good and needed more work, if she stayed to listen, it was alright.

Or FatCatLableBoss cat, who actually got writing credits on a No.1 LP after walking along a keyboard for a couple of songs, and really did get a label named after him.

But One-eyed-cat, he don't like rock an' roll. So I see his ears turned back, and I'm thnking - and he's thinking the same - that either he or me will end up giving in and going away.

So I didn't go away. So he did, via the open window, but not before stopping to deliberately knock over my tall long Negroni into my sock drawer. I saw him do it! He stopped to do it!

Bastard.

 

[Mumbles274]

They had his since they were kittens so have grown up with it, despite being in the garage for a while it is covered in their smells and the smell of cat nip!!

My childhood cat, in her old age, used to lift the lid on mum's CD player and wee in it.

I may have to invest in some light in colour cat wrangling clothes - having a wardrobe which mainly consists of black / dark colours and having 2 out of the 3 cats which are either nearly all white or at least >50% white is going to cause on-going issues when it comes to going out and not looking like you've just finished rolling around in the contents of a vacuum cleaner

That is a very vibrant ginger on that cat - now it might be my screen or it might be some photoshop skullduggery - or it maybe the natural colourings - if it is natural, I'm impressed

He is a good colour of ginger but that is photoshopped!

Went for a walk. Next door's cat, Simba, was in the window, and got very excited to see me walking past. He started mewing and walking along the windowsill to say hi.

Then he fell off.

I admit I laughed. A lot.

This is why I should be recording video 24/7.

The cat just tried to start a fight with our neighbour's dog via the small hole in the fence. Again The dog is about 10 times bigger than him but fortunately although he has a big bark is soft as shite

one evening last week, black & white cat who lives near the station was on the prowl when i got home. he was doing the 'i am a mighty hunter' bit in the long grass.

he didn't half look miffed when he realised i'd seen him...

Yesterday my Alfie brought home a very confused mouse. When he dropped it on the living room rug the mouse just sat there as if nothing had happened, sniffing around. Then Alfie picked it up again, carried it around a bit, dropped it and watched as the mouse wandered around, seemingly not bothered. The mouse was so docile around him, Alfie didn't chase or hurt it, just picked it up and carried it around rather gently, like it was a kitten. Eventually I put an end to the whole thing by taking the mouse outside, setting it free. I doubt it survives for long with its reckless attitude to life.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Alfie: "So you can adopt me, but I can't adopt something? How is that fair?"

one of the mogs i used to live with tried to adopt a mouse once. he seemed faintly miffed that mouse didn't want to snuggle in front of the fire with him...

I have been discharged from nurse care today.

I still have to keep my finger all wrapped up, and can't get it wet until the scab comes off apparently. Which could take ages if I've got to keep it dressed during all that time. Anyway, no more wound checks unless something unseemly happens.

The charge nurse today kept telling me he'd have got rid of Peggy.

There were not enough expressions to, er, express how that made me feel.

 

[Bakunin]

Unbelievable.

I give both Noodle and the Taxcat a fifth of my ribeye steak.

They like ribeye steak.

And demanded seconds. Thereby depriving me of 80% of the aforementioned beefy goodness.

They're just having a rest before demanding a cheeseboard and some brandy and cigars.

i think that a lot of people have got rid of animals for a lot less.

she is a very very lucky cat.

and i just did a search on how you got her. this kind of thing could be part of the reason why she's been in and out of the rescues.
