My index finger's still not right, you know. Big bulging scar that hurts sometimes.

Jemima now pushes her head gently against me when I give her a little tickle. She usually only comes by in the evening, and even then not every day, for her supper but I found her sunbathing in the yard this lunchtime. She had some more grub, which she had to share with a wasp 
, and then wandered on her way.
I really want her to have a home. I'm asking around people I know, but when it gets closer to winter if she's still about I'll try my hardest to get her into Iris' Cats in Need where I got Peggy from. They're so often absolutely swamped, though, so if I can do their work and find her somewhere myself that's what I'll do.
In related news, does anyone want a cat?

It's starting to feel at real home at long last - when I come down in the morning to make a cup of tea I'm now met by both boys wanting fuss, strokes and general cuddles up on the sofa
And I'm being met at the gate by Clive most evenings when I get home from work - he greets me with a camp meow
It's lovely

I went out to the garden yo et something from the shed this morning. Ground wet with rain but not actually raining.
Ozzie looked very confused and put out by the wet ground and just stayed in the doorstep. Orson didn't let it stop him but jumped around like his paws were getting burnt. Very amusing.

My lovely cat Sydney turned 16 this month (she was born during the Sydney Olympics) and seems to have immediately become 'old', as in slightly senile .
I'm keeping a careful eye on her, she has been a good friend for many many years, seeing me through some pretty rough times with her naturally compassionate disposition.
I never a knew a cat could tell that you were feeling ill, tired or hungry and actively try to make you eat or sleep, even laying on you all night if necessary if you were ill.
She is a wonderful cat

Jemima popped by for her supper. She had 3 plates of food.
She loves having a head tickle now, and a stroke. Today I managed to broach the subject of having a brush, and it went okay. She let me gently brush the top of her head, one of the sides of her fluffy face, and along her back a little bit, although I didn't push it because it's often a sensitive area for some cats (didn't seem to upset her though).
Anyone know anyone in or around the Stoke-on-Trent area who would like to take on a gorgeous fluffy and seemingly affectionate cat who's in desperate need of a bit of warmth and love (and a good brush)? I'd have her in here in a heartbeat but we all know Peggy hates cats, and it seems Jemima is a scrapper.

I've never once heard her purr or miaow. But boy does she make some fucking noise when she's beating up other cats.
So many totally awesome cats on this thread 
Aww. Cats

I think there's a message in cat semaphore going on there.
Probably translates as 'feed me'

Slovak restaurant kittens...
This one was hogging one side of the table when we arrived first time (and stayed there throughout lunch):
When we returned a few days later, this one was being friendly (and possibly regretting it):
There was also a tortie kitten, but she was less forthcoming.

I like tea
The very lovely Kiara has come to Chez Mogden. By her human Dad's confession, she's not quite all there but she's gorgeous all the same. Truly a ginger ninja cos she bounces all over the place and she's bonding a bit with Mookie already. Her aunt, or is it niece, can't quite remember as it's complicated, will be arriving too when she allows herself to be packed into a carrier

Jemima (who might be Jeremiah) was waiting by my backdoor for her scran this dinnertime:
(Those aren't weeds - it's my 'wildflower meadow' that attracts bees
)
And then she had a little lay down with her brush:
She lets me brush all around her head, and I'm building up to being able to give the rest of her a good brush. She enjoys playing with toys as well. She eats a ton whenever she's here. She had 3 pouches of food this dinnertime, and asked for a fourth but didn't like what I gave her so left most of it.

Casper is a big fan of The Big Bang Theory
He is also a passionate IT consultant - he's accessed things on my Mac that I don't know how to get to - shall I get him his own log in for Urban?

We bought a cat painting! We actually saw it for sale months ago at a local theatre, but gsv and the artist finally managed to exchange some message and we bought it off her today. It looks really like my childhood cat, although mostly we just liked the colours and composition. But it didn't hurt that it looks like my childhood cat.

Iris' shelter got in touch with me today. They still had Dottie on their waiting list 
Anyway, now Dottie has gone it means Jemima can jump in her place.
I'm to go and pick up a trap from them on Tuesday, and then, once I've wrangled Jemima in to it (which may involve leaving her in my kitchen overnight, which will please no one involved), I'm to take her to the vet inside Pets at Home, who they do lots of business with apparently, who will scan for a chip and check her sex and so on. If she's a girl they can probably take her now. If she's an in-tact boy, they'll look at neutering her (him!) but will have to release her (him!) because they have lots of mothers and kittens still, and she (he!) will still smell like a tom for a while after. If she (he!) is a neutered boy, I don't know what happens next. Either way, I'm to phone her while I'm at the vets to let her know, and we can work out what happens next.
This would all be easier if I could drive
I'll be sad to see her go, but more than anything she needs a warm lap to curl up on at night and I can't give her that.

The kittehs snuck out today as I was putting some composting out. So I decided to go with it and did some pruning as I haven't been out in the garden for ages cos of them.
Cue 30 minutes of trying to get the buggers back in. Dreamies are not a drug to them at all. Finally managed to get the big balled one back with the new Poundland cat teaser that they are both loving.
Ops booked for 6th September. Will watch the door more carefully until then.

We've been leting ours in the garden supervised for a while but its a walled garden so its only recently they could actually get out and we have been able to keep on top of them being too adventurous. They can still be little shits for getting them in though! Chicken or ham does the trick, as well as a toy they find irresisitable!
Ours are booked for the 5th so they'll be sharing the cone of shame at the same time as yours
