Your daily cat and kitten news

[Schmetterling]

Here's Tatt, being a smashing little ball of fun. That's a speaker behind him. Yes, he's pretending to be asleep. Yes that's a smirk.

Don‘t forget to cook risotto!

Lil’ Bob indignant at being disturbed during his cleaning regimen

That looks a lot like a casual salute. But then officers never salute the lower ranks.

I was sat here, with my puzzled face on.

By the angle of the paw (side on) I suspect navy rather than army

You'll be pleased to hear that Ez is back at the headwear on Vastra again

Love the 20s flapper vibe in the 2nd pic

It might've been a day off for most of us, but a cat still has to patrol her gardens (pl):

Honestly I just want to say that it seems she is worthy successor to Chimneypot (RIP and bless her little cotton socks). You have an awesome and very tolerant little cat there

Yes, I think that's on the money!

Realised just before lunch we hadn't seen Vastra this morning, then gsv realised that she must be in the shed - indeed, when Ez went up to it, a desperate face appeared in the window She'd wandered into there yesterday while gsv was gardening yesterday evening.

 

[Cloo]

It's really not her day - she was just sunbathing on a pile of earth next to where gsv was attempting to dig out an old bay tree.... and she rolled into the hole by the roots.

Justin (white, with a black face) seems to have moved from about five doors up in one direction, to five doors in the other direction. He seems to have settled well, and remembers me with affection.

Neela has a chosen spot in the garden. Good observation point plus maximum sun.

Tiny Poo can be found languishing in her tent made from a manky old sheet used to catch windfall apples

Chloe pigeon watching:

 

[stavros]

Having spent the last four years, since she moved in, always beginning a lap session in the same position, Missy has suddenly departed from the norm. Whereas she always went first of all for the right thigh, facing away from me, she's no consistently sitting across my lap facing me. I have no idea why, although I think I prefer it.

Rogue and Chloe on the two new cat beds delivered today:

 

[stavros]

The annual trip to the vet this morning. She seems to have absolutely no problem with it, other than me shutting the cat flap a couple of hours before we leave, so she doesn't go off on one of her odysseys. She finds the vet's room fascinating.

The vet also complemented her on her colouring, although I suspect she might say that to all the animals she sees.

Vic (disturbed)

 

[fucthest8]

A rare sighting indeed. Mitten not only sitting on me, but next to Lyndon, who she doesn't really get on with.

This is due to Mitten being the Emotional Support Cat. If you are audibly upset, she will come to comfort you. Unfortunately, what consitutes "upset" to her also includes the sound of you talking animatedly, as I was. Anyway, I'm very happy to have her on my lap.



Also, clearer shot of just her so that you can enjoy her markings and paw positioning

That’s my bench. Just grabbing some late sun.

Mrs21 got a call from the vet , they are doing annual check ups & jabs. Usually we drive down there , I wait as parking is difficult close by , and mrs21 takes her in and stays with her. In the new normal we take her down, leave her in the carrier outside, they take her in , do their stuff and then bring her out for us to collect. Mrs21 is anxious about leaving her alone.

I was allowed to go in with Missy yesterday, having thought I'd have to leave her.

Yeah last time I had to go to the vet it was put the cat on the doorstep, ring the bell, and step back 2m. The vet then phoned me on my mobile to do a phone consult, then the nurse brought the cat back out and put him back on the doorstep. It was all a bit odd. I did get to chat to the nurse from a distance and wave hi to the vet, it was actually really good to see them - I mean obviously I've been going there a while and I see the staff there more regularly than I see many of my friends, so it was good to have just that little bit of social (distanced) contact.

I worry about it too tbh, it is stressful enough for them (and by connection, me!) when we have to do a vet visit, but it was all OK.
