Your daily cat and kitten news

It never comes off altogether. On the plus side it helps cat lovers recognise each other

When I had Radar I used to get covered in white fur - I once went into the local odds and sods shop and the proprietor tried to sell me a lint roller

Mrs SFM bought one of those - no match for Vic’s “sheddings” though

Its nest building time again and the birds have completely consumed the large wadge of cat fur that I've been building-up over the winter by stuffing all the fur from when I comb madam into a crevice between a couple of stones in the garden.

The Great Tits were down at the back of the house, carefully picking the remaining fur off the mat on the bench that madam basks-on when its sunny.

Guess she is going to get a very thorough combing at the weekend, so they have more nest-lining material!

Misty has been coming to sit next to me on sofa the last few nights
But she's not very well ATM, was sneezing and feeling sorry for herself even sneezed on Kizzy last night! Looks better today so far

 

[ddraig]

And not sure if Kizzy was sort of "looking after" Misty as she stayed quite close on the sofa for a fair while

Taken from a Cats Protection profile, someone suffered to get this particular photo:

I think Tilly will have a kitten face forever. She still mews like one..



But Toby on the other hand doesn't shut up. Taken his rightful place as Man Of The House



A picture of my cat that isn't my cat. How did this get here????



(Long story with the kitchen counter tops, short of it is they were already here and they look a lot worse in photos for some reason)

Something perverse about lining your nest with fluffs from that who will eat your babies and or you

A “Camden Random” - that’s quite difficult to say (pissed or sober )

 

[seeformiles]

Lil’ Bob cares not for the snow currently bucketing down (It’s April tomorrow ffs…) and retreats to the radiator

Lilith and her little kitten face.

 

[philosophical]

No snow today.
Instead feral Harry on the kind of surface he likes.

 

[seeformiles]

There was a battle for my chair last night. Lil’ Bob had claimed it when Vic decided he had designs on it too.



Here’s his WTF look



Eventually he realises that Vic isn’t moving so he gives up and goes back to sleep

The scene this morning

Casper is all nice and snuggly underneath Mrs Voltz's dressing gown

FiFi has been brought in from her room for morning cuddles (she's starting to eat a lot more and more regularly - still got to watch how much insulin she's getting but definitely going in the right direction)

And Clive is now starting to master his fear of "the terrible under the duvet monster that's trying to kill him so I'll just run away to be safe" when in fact it's only one of us moving slightly

This is what most mornings are starting to look like

Which is nice

Happy birthday darling Toby Toes. He's 5yrs old today!

When you get white bits on a cat it more or less defines what white means.
Even if they roll in the dirt for a bit, the whiteness returns more reliably than a flannel washed in Sunlight soap.

I still see this one a lot, usually either stalking the birds or drinking from their water bowl.

That looks like an unseen outtake from Big Night Out or Shooting Stars.

In that middle photo he is looking at you like it is your fault, a definite "why are you allowing this?" tone to that stare!

Sonic used to give me that same look if he went to his favourite morning/lunchtime sunbathing spot just by the sitting room window only to find it wasn't a sunny day - I'd get a "why are you doing this to me?" glare.

I know - he’s wounded. My heart leaps at his expression in the first pic though

 

[Dandred]

Ended up rescuing two more kittens. Up to five now and six dogs.

Will post pics soon.

My car was in for an MOT, the guy has a cat that rocked up one day as a kitten and it stayed. He told me he loves the cat but can't give it the attention it deserves. It sleeps in his office on a night.
Anyway, I know someone who loves cats and at one point she had 16! She said she would take cat ( it had no name).
My car passed even though it's knocking at the front ( drop link) and only cost me 20quid.
I'm happy, new owner is happy cos it turns out it's the double of one she lost at Xmas and similar traits .
And Tyr is now happy after his own mot and a bath because he was slightly oily.
Tyr the garage cat before bath.

I love the asymmetrical white markings on his face - gorgeous
