Your daily cat and kitten news

[Epona]

smmudge - so sorry for your loss. I understand not wanting to post about it (although I myself did the opposite and probably haven't run out of steam for banging on about my poor Radar, I am aware that I talk about it a lot even now) - typing it out makes it more real and unavoidable.

Very sweet kittens, hopefully they are a good distraction from your grief.

Don't know why I've been reluctant to post this but in June Dylan died hit by a car. We were devastated and came as a huge shock as you can imagine.

Er anyway I have quite an impulsive wife.. so yesterday we got kittens and this was my morning....

Waking up to this

Get down to serious kitten business

Phew, need a nap

I have every intention of raising them as inside cats! At the moment they are so small they're happy exploring the kitchen only (even the lounge is too big!).

It seems weird to put both this news in one post, we still feel a bit funny about it, happy but still sad. But how can I keep kitten pics to myself?

Lovely kittens. Sorry to hear about Dylan, though.

So sorry for your loss. But he'd want you to be happy and love other cats. They're adorable!

We've also got a cheeky black cat who visits our garden and sometimes comes in through the cat flap. Caught him trying to steal my roast chicken lunch yesterday.

After we lost Buttons after 17 years on NYE 2015 I thought it would be ages before we took the plunge again as it all seemed a bit raw. However Mrs SFM started looking at cat rescue websites in January and by the middle of Feb 2016 we adopted Vic and Lil’ Bob. Of course we’ll never forget Buttons but she left such a huge gap in our lives (and in the household) it took two fellas to plug it - testament to her big personality. So glad we did it as they make every day a joy with their boundless enthusiasm - even if Lil’ Bob likes to headbutt me awake most days at 6am

Really sorry to hear about Dylan smmudge
He was one of my faves on here, only mentioned him the other day to a friend who commented on how mine is a contortionist . She was always outdone by Dylan. RIP lovely little bendy cat.x

My Vic loves to bite and rip up newspaper when he’s wankered on catnip. It’s just his thing

My old cat Nutta used to love shredding any paper that was left on the floor. I had got used to it and so didn't leave anything down. Didn't think I'd need to tell my boyfriend (now of 23 years) the first time he stayed over, cos why would you?

Next morning he was £150 lighter as he'd left his cash wages on the floor and Nutta had shredded 3 £50 notes.

Sorry to hear about Dylan.

But those ears!! I love the kitten stage when their ears are too big for them.

 

[smmudge]

Aw thanks guys, it feels nice that Dylan made an impression here, and how understanding everyone is that we got some kittens so quickly. Kind of felt like we were betraying Dylan a bit.

I have to say though they are soooooo fucking cute kitten purrs and leg rubs

Kizzy still being moody, alternates between that spot or on sofa next to humans, looks very tired and eyes closing a lot but has also lashed out a couple of times in annoyance and possibly breathing quickly :/
Also hasn't been out much today
Worried that she is ill! Vets tomorrow if same...

 

[ddraig]

Perked up a bit now! Back on box/perch, probably fine

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Patch just looked so at peace.



The crossed paws are just too cute.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Forgive the framing in this one as I was trying to play with the kitten with one hand and film with the other.

Now Bloom is a standard size male cat.
This is the ledge window at the back of my kitchen.


The ledge is about 3/4 to 2/3 a standard cat’s width, and only the length if the cat is in a semi crouched position.
So Bloom by literally wedging himself using head and arse is able to sleep on that ledge.
Sorry about the pictures but I had to take them from inside to avoid disturbing him.

 

[philosophical]

That was Bloom yesterday.
This is Bloom waiting in standard scrounging position this morning.

 

[May Kasahara]

Aw smmudge so sorry to hear about Dylan, I adored him from afar and am sure it must have hurt to lose him like that.

The kittens are peak cute, I hope you both enjoy them It's what he would have wanted, he always seemed like a generous soul.

The girls make this look good

When you go to bed tonight you are going to pull back the covers and find a great big cat shit right in the middle and it will serve you right

Milly has been spotted in the Arnolfini marriage portrait, too.

I think I'll just drink the standing water on the garden chair rather than the fresh water left inside for me!!

Ours had their annual check up at the vets today. Had a bit of a panic when the vet was worried about how much Ozzie had lost in a year, even though last time we were in we were told she was overweight and we had to do something. But then we realised it was over two years because when they had their vaccines last year, we weren't allowed in because of covid and the vet didn't record their weight then. So panic over.

Could it be possible that she's had a bit too much catnip?!
