Your daily cat and kitten news

[Aladdin]

Went to the shop so cats alone, came back to some commotion in front room, couldn't see either cat or hear any fighting.
Then Kizzy ran downstairs looking freaked out, looking back at stairs and at me a few times.
Went to put shopping away and partner came in house and went to go upstairs and saw this cat on the stairs!!

This cat does not live here!
Bit confused how it got in and disappointed that neither Kizzy or Misty chased it out!
Just sat there on the stairs too, like this!

In fairness....cat does look a bit sheepish. Maybe cat is lost and thought your place was their home?
Or maybe the cat likes visiting other homes.

Nice cat....

Take to vet and see if it's chipped?

This is the sensible and morally correct answer ^

It hangs around in the garden a lot and did so before these 2 arrived here, think it lives a few doors down in place that backs on to gardens this side

I chucked it out but might do this if it comes back in
pretty sure it lives a few houses away

sounds reasonable.

cats' territories do not respect humans' land / property ownership.

some do the 'six dinner sid' thing, others go and make occasional visits to neighbours. there's a kitty lives near mum-tat who will occasionally drop in for a social call if she leaves the back door open.

it's usually easy enough to tell the difference between a genuine lost / stray cat and one who's just being sociable or checking out emergency napping / feeding places

#notmycat on tweeter has quite a lot of posts...

Whiskers! And cat photo bombing

it never crossed my mind to take any of the cats who visit our house to a vet to check who owns them! They just do their own thing. I have barred one tho as he nicked an entire steak that I was about to cook, I had my back turned for a minute heard a noise and when I turned round he was creeping out the window with the steak hanging out his mouth.

Be very careful, someone I used to talk to online on a Siamese/Ori chat forum once caught her Siamese pulling a fully cooked and hot roast leg of lamb in through the cat flap - a neighbour had left it on the counter to rest before serving and it was nicked within minutes being dragged out of the kitchen window, across 2 gardens and through a cat flap

Just Eat can go fuck themselves

My old cat Korky did the leg of lamb thing. She dropped it on the dogs bed and went back out, came back with a Yorkshire pudding dropped that for the dogs and went out, I ran upstairs to see where she was going. It was a neighbour about 5 doors away. She came back with another Yorkshire so I went to the neighbour and told her. She said ' oh, it's fine we've already finished eating 'and laughed.

I love Korky for doing that

When I moved, I was 6 doors down from a kebab shop, she often brought the remnants of the elephants leg they'd chucked out the back for the dogs . The noise as she was coming in with it was brilliant. Her way of shouting I've got you a present, look at me.

Sunday bonus.
Going to Manor House Gardens in Lee for a walk is always nice.
However it is always made special when encountering the tiny yet magnificent fearless absolute Queen of Lee, Sadie.

Here she is this morning looking more or less perfect.

I love a silver tabby, and she is particularly magnificent

My son and his husband just treated themselves to a new sofa for the kitchen diner so they can sit and drink coffee looking out at the garden. It’s a super comfy one. Sadly, neither of them have sat on it yet because George had claimed it as his. Most expensive cat bed ever.

Oh bless him look at his little face!!!

They do know they can lift him up and move him, don't they?

(I'd be all "Oh look at you and your gorgeous little face, oh I love you so much kiss kiss kiss, here we go picking you up and putting you somewhere else")

My old BD was like that with bacon rolls - if you left one unattended, even for seconds, you would come back to find the roll, empty and usually BD, sitting nonchalantly disinterested somewhere nearby but with his tongue going furiously from ear to ear!

 

[Epona]

My lot aren't allowed bacon, it is way too salty, it usually contains a shit ton of nitrates, and cats cannot digest pork fat well.

That doesn't stop them forming a little begging circle around me though - with lots of Ori singing

MOVE GEORGE! What are you thinking woman? Never has it happened or will it happen, they are far too well trained and he would be so offended

and then sitting on him because he can get back to the sofa quicker than you can...

It is, isn’t it? I don’t quite no how to interpret that expression, smug?

It's more contempt for the very idea that they might want to sit on their own sofa!

with an element of "you want me off the sofa? just go ahead and try and move me..."
