LOL yeah the problem is that since his surgery and feline anorexia afterwards and tube feeding to keep him alive, he has gone off a lot of the foods he used to like (including all dry food) so we're starting out from scratch working out what he wants to eat - I'm casting the net wide to find a good variety of stuff that he has now decided that he likes.
He's eating ok now (we identified some things that he was keen to eat before the feeding tube was removed), but it's like his food preferences have been rebooted by the initial surgery, and the poor sod still needs to gain at least half a kilo to get out of being quite sorrowfully underweight, so we don't have wiggle room for him to refuse a meal and just leave him to it, we have to offer him stuff he wants at least until he has gained a bit more (even if he is being a spoiled brat about it!)
If anyone has any "most cats find this food irresistable" tips, I'd be most grateful!

ime, he'll be delighted to have some of whatever's on your plate.
Barely ever eat meat, so that isn't going to sustain an obligate carnivore unfortunately

Better but still not right. Well enough to bite Juliet when she got too close but still skulking a bit. Vet said observe for a few days....

I think I need to clip my cat's claws, or someone needs to. She's old and can't really retract them anymore, which means she gets stuck in everything including the sofa cushions, the rug and my clothes, with ruinous results. Any top tips?

One of mine has arthritis now so his claws don't get worn down and he needs a trim every so often - he's very wriggly and I find it difficult to do because of my own arthritic hands (ffs we're a house full of physical wrecks LOL) so I take him to the vet to have a nurse do it - they charge about £10.50

russian blue cats really are amazingly loyal cats. every single day bella jumps onto the bed throughout the day and evening to sit next to me. every morning, I wake up 3-4 am to find her sitting on my tummy, chest, thigh, back-depending on my sleeping position. I like to change my position a lot.When I do move she takes up the new position. She will continue to sit there until I get up. Often she is sat between my legs so I have to pull the duvet up and move her onto my waist in order to let my balls breath.

Thanks Epona and Vintage Paw. Her ear infection seems to have come back so she needs to go back to the vet anyway - I'll probably ask them to do it. My hands are pretty crap too, I don't want to hurt her.

Fang!
We used to gently take a hold of the fang when the Auld Warrior was asleep like this. He’d open one eye, regard the human with disdain, and then close his eye again. When we let go, he’d yawn and stretch and go back to sleep.

The hoover was turned on. I swear she's not a real cat.

Radar is loving all the pouches of food that I only got 1 each of in trial packs. The stuff that I bought in larger amounts he is less keen on. Bloody cat, honestly!!!
He is averaging between 260-300g wet food per day though, which is definitely in serious "eating like a pig" weight gain territory for his starting weight.

Enjoying my day off: a cat and rain 
And I managed to clip her claws too. She's too old to give a shit 
didn't even stop purring.

The ingratitude of cats never ceases to amaze me.
While our next door but one neighbours were on a long holiday we fed one of their cats as their feeder clearly wasn't up to it (seemed to be coming very irregularly and the cat was clearly hungry). She was around our doorstep today so I stroked her. When I went out with the bin about five minutes later, she had left a pile of horrible soft-ish poo right on our doorstep.
Our next doors are away right now & we're looking after their cat so my partner goes in tonight to find he has puked everywhere.
