Your daily cat and kitten news

I clearly need to brush up my plant skills! No worries. Still holding out for a garden :D

You could be forgiven for not recognising it as it’s a very obscure Salvia from Mexico brought back by ethnobotanists in the 1950s with highly hallucinogenic properties (but not in a fun way). It does make rather a nice houseplant though 🙂

Yeah don't worry, I know the one you are on about :D
 
Finally, after two weeks of not being that interested, my lap was fully occupied for the entirety of the snooker last night. She almost always starts off diagonally facing away from me, with her rear half on my left thigh and front half on my right. This is good, as it means I don't have to keep my thighs unnaturally close together.

However, it also meant as the sleep got deeper and the dreams got more dramatic that a sudden twitch almost caused her to slip between my knees. Disaster was averted though, and sleep was recommenced.

God damn cats! Found this one hunting a slow worm. I'd never seen a slow worm before :rolleyes: View attachment 266246

Luckily I had some cat biscuits in my pocket to distract the cat so it could (try to) escape

Chloe is the worm hunter of the family. When she touches one, I have to use anti-bacterial wipes on her paw when we go back in as don't want her licking it.

One of ours used to bring worms in at her previous residence, like other cats do with birds and that.

Didn't seem to do her any harm, what are you concerned about? No judgement, just curious.

I don't think earthworms are problematic, slugs and snails are though as they can carry lungworm and transmit it if ingested. Going a bit off topic into other territory here though.

That's what I was thinking, then wondered if donkyboy knew something that I didn't. Yeah, bit off topic, all cat stuff tho innit? :)

I'm just being over cautious about potential problems, bacteria etc. And also out of habit. If I touched a worm, I would wash my hands thoroughly so making sure Chloes 'hands' are also cleaned.
 
Milo has developed a weirdly puffy face and neck, so he was carted off to the vets again today for the umpteenth time this year. They don't think it's an abscess, but they're not sure what it actually is. Anyway, he's back home now with a shaved face, and very annoyed we won't let him go out.

He looks a bit terrifying....and then I see his wee paws..

😍🙂
 
First she started squeaking at the birds.

Then she started doing the telephone noise.

Then she walked on top of my previously sleeping body and I realised getting back to sleep wasn't going to happen.

Lilith has got into the habit of following Tim to the toilet and the bath, and will miaow outside the door until he lets her in! The other day, he tried getting his own back on her when she was using the litter tray by hanging around and going "Awww, baby want poopy!" She tossed him a look of real disgust before turning her back on him in an affronted manner...
 
strung out - how is Milo doing? I hope the swelling has gone down.
Yeah, his face seems to have gone down somewhat. We're wondering if it was a reaction to a tick bite perhaps as we pulled a dead one off him around there recently (shortly after he'd had his flea/tick treatment). Fingers crossed the vet will give him the all clear on Friday, although his little bald face will last for a while unfortunately!
