he looks like he is questioning the concept of 'pet' to refer to a member of a multi species household.
Your daily cat and kitten news

A bird had somehow got into the gap between the two floors of my house this morning, which meant Missy spent the entire morning staring at the small hole in the floor for the bathroom sink piping. I popped out briefly, fearing I'd have to fork out for pest control to sort it out, possibly ripping up my floorboards. Luckily, when I got back, the bird's lifeless body was lying on the landing and Missy had lost interest in it.
That's her rent paid for the next ten years or so.

Does your cat have a daily routine and run on a tight schedule, because mine does:
Between 7 and 8am: I wake up, Alfie twigs on to that and hops into bed for a morning cuddle.
9am: Breakfast, morning poop.
9am - 10am: I have coffee and breakfast, Alfie is up for more cuddles and crawls in my lap. He is incredulous as to why I won’t spend the whole day on the sofa with him, because what could be nicer ? (see photos above)
10am - 11am: Sits on his window pillow in the bedroom, observing the birds in the trees outside
11am - 13pm: Crawls under the sofa, because bad things happen on late mornings (vet visits, the postman ringing, me going on holiday).
13pm - 15pm: Changes from under to on the sofa, which at that time is all his so he really sprawls out.
15pm - 17pm: When not working, I’ll have a nap and join Alfie on the sofa. He crawls on my lap or my chest and has a snooze there.
17pm - 18pm: More birdwatching from the bedroom or when I’m working from home, he curls up next to my keyboard.
18pm - 20pm: Dinner, then a bedroom nap.
20pm: Playtime ! Sits under the bedroom shelf, where I keep his favourite toy and he meows and fidgets till I’ll play with him.
21pm - 1am: I’ll watch a film or some tv and Alfie joins me on the sofa. Depending on how exciting the programme, he watches or sleeps. Occasionally I’ll wave his toy around.
1am: I’m off to bed, he starts sleeping on the bedroom window pillow, but changes from that to my bed and back again several times at night.

There are definitely elements of routine for Poo and Neela
*night time* Poo sleeps on bed as close to pillow and human as possible without being squashed
if human moves inhabit the warm bit they left behind 
Neela usualy sleeps under a bed or chair at night time06:00ish humans are stirring, much purring and the occasional meow if eye contact is made.
(If Neela thinks the humans are awake she will jump on the bed, ocassionally leaping over legs and if she can, knead the pillow while purring near the humans face)
06:30 humans are awake! Neela will join me in the bathroom while I shower occasionally licking fluff off of the bath panel
non stop purring. Poo goes downstairs to wait to be fed06:45 showering done, Neela jumps on the bed and becomes the WIGGLY!!! ~~~~
07:00 everyone downstairs, Poo is fed then wants to be left outside, Neela may or may not eat biscuits
07:30 humans leave, who knows what cats do? Poo is normally out all day if the weather is OK, Neela stays in, making bed of cat hair on the beds or sofa
Evenings are fairly boring - Neela squashes a back sofa cushing thing into teh shape of her and stays there, Poo will sit on the arm of the chair with a human but at around 21:00 Poo will sit by the living room door watching humans waiting for one to move then she will run to the kitchen expecting to be fed, if she is not fed she returns to her spot by the door *staring* She is usually fed at 22:00 then everyone goes to bed. Poo usually rolls around being stroked eventually settling by the pillow

. These two haven’t taken their eyes off me for about two hours. I don’t know what I have done wrong...,
They really are such handsome cats.

happy black cat day to the monochrome kitties of urban
Pulling weeds out of my front garden this afternoon, I'm joined by Missy, who's walked all the way around the side of the terrace from the back. After a bit of head-rubbing she then starts launching herself at my hands as I try to get the weeds. It was all friendly and playful, but annoying all the same.

Ok today Toby toes is a Toby terror!
He likes to hide behind the shower curtain and pounce on me while I'm brushing my teeth. You can actually see the naughtiness on his face!

Daddy, can you make it stop raining?
Oh I get that. He's furious that we can't stop the rain. And even moreso when I refuse to invite the soaking wet cat onto my bed for pettings.

You get a choice in such matters?
Missy absolutely shattered her record last night, managing just shy of 3 constant hours on my lap in front of the telly. We had the usual violent dreams and the bizarre gradual rotation to the left as she rearranges herself. There was also the habitual complete disbelief when I eventually evicted her before my bladder exploded.

Nope. Don't blame them at all!

Look how skinny this fella is. I can see the outline of his spine. He’s in fine fettle though. His thyroid is okay, his teeth are alright, he’ll eat four pouches a day some days, he goes out on his patrol every day. He’s just old and skinny.

He is an Oriental Shorthair (Ori or OSH for short) - the same as Siamese but with different colouring.
Sonic is a blue OSH, I also have Jakey who is a lilac

This is Jakey, the lilac one (lighter shade of grey with a hint of brown - I call him pink panther tbh! But yeah, Sonic is blue which is not a snobby name for grey, it's blue because it is dark grey and there are at least 4 different greys that cats can be, Jakey is lilac which is a pale brownish/pinkish tinged grey, there are also silvers and various shades of smoke)
Excuse the mess on the desk!
Also that fluffy tummy is ok to stroke, he doesn't do a venus cat-trap thing - he loves gentle tummy rubs If his tummy looks a little lopsided it is cos he had a triple mastectomy a few years ago during a cancer scare, so he only has 3 nipples (not even all on one side) and a ruddy great scar going up his tummy in a bit of a zig zag. It was serious surgery and a huge worry at the time but it was benign and he is ok. He only has a tummy fat pad/undercarriage/cat petticoat on one side though.
