Your daily cat and kitten news

[Epona]

Yes, gone to vets, tooth is out, got antibiotics and also pain killer to put on her food

Glad you were able to get her seen quickly! I hope she feels much better soon.

Thanks, yes a relief, she's looking a bit sorry for herself but has perked up, eaten and had lots of strokes

My foxy friend in the garden again for some food

 

[Puddy_Tat]

i must ask mum-tat if her foxes are still around. i didn't see them when i was there round easter - not sure if that was just chance, or if they have moved house, or had gone on holiday or something...

Cute!

She seems to be having a love/hate relationship with the heat. Well mostly loves it but is extremely angry with me.

Sonic used to blame me for fluctuations in the weather. Glaring at me if it was too hot, or if it wasn't sunny enough (there was a sweet spot for him where it was perfect).

The morning of his last day it was overcast and he wearily made his way to the window and looked out, the weather was crap and he looked round at me and he gave me a look like it was clearly my fault.

Beautiful Connie, who is my daughter's cat.

Whenever it rains, I get angrily yowled at. I know it's all my fault. Though I should be flattered that he thinks I control the weather.

There was a mouse in the middle of the sitting room and Jakey was just sitting here cleaning his undergarments - we've had to go over his job description and daily tasks and duties (again!)

oh dear. not a good performance assessment coming this year?

depends of course how long mouse has been there. if mouse has been there long enough, he may have got the idea that it's family...

Well he gummed 7 juvenile mice to death late last year which we were hoping would put off a future attempt at the fuckers trying to breed here - but alas not and I'm not sure he can do a lot with an adult mouse due to the whole lack of teeth issue...

He is still supposed to prowl though

 

[Puddy_Tat]

maybe he doesn't work sundays?

 

[Epona]

He has gone on a bit of a prowl after I pointed out the mouse to him - then he was all lively for 10 minutes and the mouse has now disappeared (still lurking nearby for sure).

He's just an old boy bless him. He used to be quite predatory but he's aged a lot since Sonic died. Now Sonic was the laziest cat ever, he never caught anything, hunting was beneath him. He was a 100% I'm going to sit on a velvet cushion and make everyone wait on my every last need sort of cat (He would have made a superb supervillain's cat, if only I'd managed to get the death ray fired up). He once watched Radar hunt a really big moth for an hour then dashed in and ate it leaving poor Radar wondering where his prize had gone

But I always said Sonic was the purely decorative one. Both Radar when he was still with us and Jakey have always been good mousers.

It's upsetting that 2 are gone now and Jakey is obviously elderly, it's like the last 15 years have gone so quick. it doesn't seem long ago that they were all young. I'm still in quite deep grief about Sonic, he was my special one.

Liked for the lovely memories.

For the first time ever next door's cat paid my house a visit today. I was sat there, watching the tele, when I see something out the corner of my eye, as she takes a look around the lounge, before departing nonchalantly through the patio doors.

It's her house now

 

[donkyboy]

Rogue and Chloe snuggling. She moved closer to be with her big sister. As is always the case, Chloe is the go to girl for snuggles.

 

[Epona]

That's absolutely adorable

 

[Skim]

OH downstairs with Covid so I’ve been upstairs in the bedroom keeping out of the way for most of the weekend. Phoebe is loving it! She’s be very happy if I just spent every evening sitting on the bed, seeing to her needs…

 

[Epona]

She's so gorgeous!!

(Skim - I hope your OH feels better soon and that you stay well)

 

[quiet guy]

Phoebe has very striking facial colouring and some very impressive whiskers

Edit - Deleted as didn't read the last bit properly, so maybe insensitive. My apologies.

 

[Epona]

No, didn't read the last bit properly so maybe insensitive, deleted.

If I could have made it the middle of summer that morning for him, I would have done everything in my power to make it so

EDIT: And no no what you said was fine, absolutely no need to apologise at all

(Going to be sad forever that he is gone, but no need to tiptoe around me - I talk about him because it makes me happy to remember him).

I can be a bit of a klutz so find it hard to gauge, so probably swing between clunkily obtuse and too polite.

No worries, and I know that feeling also

I tended to get some disapproval from the mogs if it was raining, more so if there was snow.

And thunder tended to get a 'will you stop that racket, we're trying to nap'

 

[Calamity1971]

I've attracted another one. Only 5 houses where I live and rural. So I suspect another has been dumped ( cost of living maybe).
It's beautiful and very friendly. Unfortunately Charlie has started over grooming and has bald bits on her belly and back legs
While I figure out what to do with the stray would a feliway help with the overgrooming?
New kitty on the block, unneutered tom.
View attachment 320115

Billy big bollocks (the un neutered tom) turned up for his nightly feeds. Opened the living room window and he came straight in, rubbed himself off all available rubbing stations and jumped back out.

 

[Epona]

Can we take bets on how long it is before Billy Big Bollocks sprays on your curtains?

He's gorgeous but I just remember what Jakey was like when we first got him (ex stud who had just been neutered, there was a bit of a settling in period in which various soft furnishings were thrown away and walls and skirting boards thoroughly washed because he decided he needed to mark everything as his territory by spraying!!!)

 

[Epona]

He's much better behaved now btw, he does occasionally leave a great big turd on my pile of cleanly laundered socks (I say "on", but there is some burying action which occurs so it is more of a carefully hidden booby trap which will be sprung later when I am pairing up socks to go in the drawers, rather than an obvious gift on top of everything), which I can only assume is due to some invisible cat battle of the senses with laundry detergent or something - but other than that he is a lot better than he used to be about that sort of thing
