Your daily cat and kitten news

Yeti is a retired breeding queen- she was well looked after, big outside heated run, time in the house every day, only had 3 litters then was retired, regular vet trips for jabs etc etc. And she was very much loved. But still.... two years as a proper pet tomorrow- she looks like a different cat.

Katniss has discovered how to hunt the last few months and it's like she making up for the last few years. Dead mouse or mice most mornings. We havnt put a bell on her partly as she hates it and last time we put them on she wasn't killing anything so she got a free pass and Odin kept his. Also because integrating the puppy and the cats took ages, they were wimps and hid under the bed because of something hald their size, so we thought bells would make it harder.

This morning she plonked herself down in the middle of living room floor and glared fuck you at the dog and the dog lept backwards. So that one may be wearing thin.

Belive it or not she's purring deeply in this photo.

Last night Vic brought in a live rat and let it go in the dining room. Both Vic and his brother Lil’ Bob were completely useless in catching it and so I loaded up the air pistol (as a last resort) before Mrs SFM managed to pick it up with a set of BBQ tongs and released it into the garden. The wee bastards are still in the doghouse as a result...:mad:
 
My cat’s favourite thing seems to be ear massages. Quite full on massages of the ear flaps and even the weird rubbery insides of them go down really well and he complains when they come to an end. What’s your cats’ best fave bits for getting strokes/ massages on ?

The lower back, near the tail. As soon as I touch him there, loud purring ensues and Alfie pushes his butt up as far as it goes. Head is good too, especially near the ears and under the chin.

Dear departed Rollo loved an ear rub, like you say, all the way inside!

For Little Miss its up the side of the neck, she leans so hard into it that if you take your hand away too soon she falls over.

For the other two it's top and sides of the head pretty much exclusively. Trying to stroke Mitten anywhere else will result in injuries.

She's lovely Manter :)

One of my boys (Jakey) is an ex stud, and is related to my other Ori boy Sonic - he is bigger and more muscular than my other cats especially around the jaw - even though he wasn't that old when neutered (he sired 1 litter to continue the breeder's line then was neutered and given to me - I've had him nearly 12 years now!!)

The back of the neck is always reliable, especially when she has her back to me on my lap. She also loves headbutting my forefinger with her nose, so as to wipe her lovely aroma on me, marking me as hers.
 
I duly collected them both and put them back inside and shut the window (they couldn't get back in and I don't want them out all night), sat back down to finish my spliff and heard two thuds followed by an almighty crash as they threw themselves at the closed window, fell backwards into the draining board and launched a pot of cutlery across the kitchen :D:D

I'm not sure what to do about Percy who is busy tormenting something small and squeaky at the end of the garden.... I don't want to lock him out all night but I think I'm going to have to.

I'd be worried about foxes, if it's anything like round here we have some humongous (although undeniably beautiful) foxes that sometimes get in fights with other animals, I may not be taken too seriously as my cats are 100% indoor only, but even for ones that go out I think bringing them in at night is safest if it is possible. :)

I wouldn't sleep if mine were out at night.

Whereas I don't sleep because one of my indoor ones Pokes Me In The Face With His Paw Repeatedly Over And Over Again All Night

(He either wants feeding - he is the one who was on a feeding tube for over a month when he stopped eating so he gets to be a brat about food now - or he wants to be under the covers or have my pillow or for me to lay in bed just so in order to provide an optimal sleep surface/cuddle provider for him)

Well Percy is a savvy old boy and has always had free access to outside through a window. I don't want the monsters out in case they meet something bitey or get lost in the woods at the end of the garden. And they need sorting first, especially her!

But also, and possibly most fundamentally, they need to be able to get back in before I allow them to get out.

ETA: I got up for a final smoke and Percy came in.
