Your daily cat and kitten news

My Jakey had got to a point where he was basically jumping up and trying to snatch food from my plate whenever I had meat. I have never fed him from my plate so was wondering why this had started to happen, maybe he is starting to get some thyroid problems in his old age or something.

NO, it turns out that every time OH eats fish he has been feeding Jakey from his plate. However when he has fish and I have chicken or other meat, Jakey prefers that, so was jumping up and just trying to take some direct from my plate.

I am VERY clear that this is OH's fault, the cat is just following his usual behaviour patterns and going for the food he prefers.

Am currently in the process of retraining both OH and the cat. I have higher hopes for the cat. (It has taken just a few meals of me constantly putting Jakey back on the floor and saying no and if he stays at a distance rewarding him with some meat or fish in his bowl after we have finished eating - this is working really quickly. I really have to keep an eye on OH though to make sure he isn't encouraging them to beg).
 
A mouse got into out kitchen about a week ago. I managed to trap it humanely and release it. Our three live in the kitchen and have failed to do anything. Even last night when it was trapped in the plastic tube and scampering about all three of the furry layabouts were in there, one in a basket less than six feet away and not a single feline fuck was given.

I’d put them on a final written warning if they could read and cared.

That looks like an effective rodent trap there, where's it from ? Our furry fuckwits will bring friends in occasionally.

Amazon I’m afraid.it needed an additional weight on the trip plate but then did the job.

View attachment 262316My cat is being extremely handsome today, even more than usual, just saying.
I’m so grateful for him, especially this past year, the perfect companion anyone else would have driven me mad sitting round the house all day.

That's precisely how I feel about she who must be obeyed.

She was doing the neighbourhood watch as I was preparing food this evening. I finished cooking, including her bit, and said out loud, "Right". Immediately I hear a thump on the ceiling and the scampering across the landing and down the stairs, as she knew what she was going to get.

Yep. There is absolutely nobody else I’d be happy to serve dinner promptly to, clean up after, whilst they just lounge about licking themselves, for ten years. I don’t actually cook for him though that’s quite something.

To clarify, nor do I. She always has dried stuff down which she picks at throughout the day and probably the night too. Then, every evening, I cut off a tiny bit of chicken for her, and that seems to be the highlight of her day.
