Your daily cat and kitten news

[fishfinger]

she IS lovely but nobody believes me when they see that photo

Well I believe you. She looks happy, not aggressive

Finally I can stop lurking on the thread and post. A new cat has arrived in the house today. No pics as yet, she's just settling in but... SOON!

Hooray! more kitties

 

[veracity]

Ostensibly I have got the cat to sort out the sporadic mouse problem in the house. But obviously also to make a massive fuss of, take pictures and post on the internet, etc etc.

 

[fishfinger]

Pictures of cats are the lifeblood of the internet. You will be doing us a great service.

Can't wait

You can get google+ to make ridiculous little animations of your cat photos too veracity

First glimpse of the Cat with No Name...

 

[Epona]

Breeze tends to start the night out in "her" bedroom, but between 6 and 7, she comes in to stand (painfully) on my elbow and trill at me, or brings grey mousie (what was left of brown mousie has vanished) to play.

I have to be really careful letting mine have some toys. Sonic has a tendency to chew fur off things and swallow it. Once a friend in the US sent me some cat toys made of longhaired rabbit fur dyed in funky colours and after half an hour with Sonic all that was left was a tube of rabbit skin. Then the next day several vommed up furballs in funky colours

the wanderer has returned after about 30 hours out in bloody awful weather, looking decidedly sleek and dry and not desperately hungry. either she has found a nice dry spot - probably under the railway bridge- where there is sufficient small and furry munchies to keep her happy, or she has found other humans to do her bidding.

What is an acceptable hour to get up and give a cat food?

[Geri]

I gave in at 7, after an hour of constant grief. She's eating for England now!

 

[veracity]

Bloody hell, it's difficult to photograph cats isn't it? Here she is, looking a bit like a badger

After much debate, she's now called Marjorie.

Or if you're awake after being physically pushed out of bed and your feline overlord is still on the bed, looking down at you with their smug face on that clearly says @Ah, you're out of bed. It's breakfast time.'

A certaon mog not a million miles away from me, realied that when she puts her paws in the small of my back I tend to roll away. Thus causing ne of my less enjoyable early morning calls when I rolled off the edge of the mattress, bounced off the floor and looked up to find Her Majesty looking down at me as if to say:

'I know you don't feed me until you're out of bed. Now you're out of bed. Feed me, worthless peon.'

 

[Mr Moose]

since your likes per post average is somewhere less than 0.1, I suggest posting lots of kitty pictures to improve it.

True. Mr Moose is no one without me.

I shouldn't laugh but I will

Cats can be quite persuasive when they want something (evil little furry buggers).

Took Geri back to the vets today. She has put on 100 grams in weight (!) and hasn't been sick for two weeks now.

 

[fishfinger]

That's good to hear

Good news Geri. But,

A - you can visit a doctor.
B - don't talk about yourself in the third person.

Marjorie seems to be settling in well. She's explored the house, won over all who've met her and has taken over completely. Please send help.

So far (touch wood) she's not one for swallowing stuff she shouldn't (at least she's not like a dog in THAT way!) Most of the mangling of brown mouse was due to constantly being stepped on (cat spit sodden toy mouse + bare foot in dark = rather unpleasant sensation!) I have a feeling it's somewhere under the dishwasher as she keeps staring there and occasionally trying to reach a very fat paw under it, without success!

Yippee, that's good news.

Oh, that's good news. My guess is kitteh found a nice warm fireside!

Was away in York for a couple days. Anyone been to the Cat Gallery? Lots of cool cat themed gifts but more than a few toys, treats, etc., as well. Lots of fun.

Brought back a green catnip sardine for Breeze, which has become her new delight. It really DOES smell strong.

I have, yes. Just looked at the website to check the address in case I was confusing it with somewhere else. Their tea towel holders are :

We had one of those for a couple of years but the arse lost its grip after a while.

Yes, it was a sad day when we had to retire the cat's arse

Was there any way you could have replaced the sphincter part, you know, with a cheap one from Poundland or something?

We did try, but gave up when we couldn't seem to find one of the correct diameter. Plus, the sphincter was very firmly attached to the rest of the cat's body . In the end it was too much effort, so we settled for an ordinary towel holder from the pound shop
