Sid is back. I think she'd been on holiday. She's still as fat as ever.
And Simba is back. He's been on holiday too. He was very excitedly watching Peg through his kitchen window while she was eating grass in her kitchen window. They're like star crossed lovers sometimes.

OK, a question for all you cat "people" (owners has now been officially consigned to the waste bin when referring to the cat / human dynamic)
Both mine and Mrs Voltz's, let's laughing refer to it as our, "wardrobe" consists of mainly black or dark clothes
We have one nearly all white cat, one 50/50 white/tabby and FiFi who started off as the exotically categorised "blue tabby" when we registered her at the vet, but has now, rather disappointingly, reverted to just a normal, grubby brown tabby. The supply of "tumble fur" in this house is almost inexhaustible
Even when taking clothes straight of the washer/dryer anything black has to be gone over with sellotape or lint removing rollers to make it look vaguely presentable
The washer/dryer has no obvious fluff trap but when it broke down the repair engineer was able to clean out a non-consumer serviceable thing deep in the guts of the machine and removed vast amount of cat fur (naturally I paid little or no attention to what it was he cleaned out or how to access it)
The washer/dryer is not an expensive one, has lasted far, far longer than I ever thought it was going to last, and, probably is coming towards the end of its useful life. I WILL be running it into the ground not replacing for the sake of replacing
But, short of:-

- Dying the cats black
- Changing all our clothes to match at aggregate of white, tabby and brown

I find wrapping the cats in cling-film works.

tabby / white cats have evolved in order to ensure that their fur shows up on backgrounds of any colour

Not the answer you're looking for, but I gave up caring a long, long time ago. Anyone who looks at my cat fur clothes and disapproves can get to fuck.

I see it as a secret cat lover's society badge. Ohh you have fur, I have fur. How old are your babies and what are their names?

Oh no. I hope he's OK.
Ozzie has discovered the bath. She was in it twice this morning - no water. Then this afternoon whole I was having my lazy long bath she was sitting on the toilet watching me and had a wander on the edge of the bath while sniffing the bubbles. I was totally ready for her to drop in and freak out. She didn't but I don't think it will be long.

Mr. Kippers hissed at the small one earlier *Though tbf some days after the 300th "Mummy" I feel like hissing!
* the small one was being quite noisy and had tried to stroke Mr. K''s bottom which he doesn't like!

High Voltage - tumble dryer balls and dryer sheets (like bounce) help. I'm lucky that my cats don't really shed, but my (white) dog did.

After about the fifth reading of this and thinking each time that I'm sure I've not seen QoGs new kitten I've realised that you're referring to a child

I booked my two in for their neutering / spaying. Probably not in the spirit of spoiling them.Staaaaaahhhp whatever you're doing. It's International Cat Day you know. How are you spoiling the felines today?
I am going to give them some Dreamies tonight though. We want to start letting them out more but need to get them addicted to the crack substitute so they actually come back!

It actually IS spoiling them, even if they don't know it. If Dreamies don't work, try the Natures Menu meat snacks you can get at Pets at Home (cat and dog ones are the same, just different shapes.) Breeze turns violent if I don't dispense them quickly enough. They were magic for trick training with her, and the dogs, too.

Peggy basically goes bonkers for anything in small biscuit form. I like the Hearties and Toothies by Smilla that you can get at zooplus. She likes them too, obv. I do get dreamies for her too though, and she does go particularly potty for them. I'm training her to take them with malt paste squeezed on them, for future potential pill-hiding shenanigans should it ever be needed. So far so good.

Went to the vet for a booster today and it was a bit of a mare. The vet who did the previous injection was super smooth and basically plopped the needle in before she realised what was going on. This time however it was a different vet who asked me to hold her down. We'd been in the waiting room with a bunch of dogs for an hour so she wasn't too happy to start with, then the vet decided to shove a thermometer up her bum for a "health check" which kinda made her mad. So when I came to hold her down she managed to wriggle round and plunge her teeth into the bit of skin between my thumb and forefinger. 
The vet gave me some first aid stuff and took her off to a different room to be "wrapped" and then bought her back in her box all sorted. Would have been nice if the vet had decided to do that earlier

Hope the bite isn't too bad! Poor love. I don't think I'd like a thermometer shoved up my arse against my wishes either.

If you don't have your cat already chipped, then it's a good idea to get one with a temperature sensor fitted (no more thermometers up the bum).
well that's a Thing ! ! Well I never did. I s'pect the next Thing will be a chip with locator, so's we can track the furry little annoyances down when we need to.

They all come in to eat together at regular times now.
But they still enjoy dining out

I have sliced feet as Ozzie was on the back of the sofa last night when some dick sped past on a moped and freaked her. She leaped up and landed on my feet, using them as a springboard to run away. The scratch on the inside of my little toe took an hour to stop bleeding!
