It seems the girl cat is called "Ralph", little fucking wonder it ran away from home, then

Mrs V is pining for a cat we never had and one which almost certainly would've caused ructions at Chez Voltz

 

[High Voltage]

She was a very pretty cat mind

Is that a tiny little red patch on her forehead or just the lighting?

I love her anyway, she's gorgeous and looks like she is a right character

So FLUFFY…!

 

[Skim]

Morning cuddles. Well, I wish… she doesn’t do sitting on laps or being picked up. You just have to sit and admire her, then she might let you stroke her.

This evening's restaurant in Croatia came with at least 4 kittens! Only got a pic of the one that begged at our table though.

Fluffy of body and empty of brain



Completely untroubled by thought. He really is the most contented creature <3

Talking of empty of brain, idiot cat has stuck his head in the top of the lampshade of the table lamp about 5 times tonight.

I think it is the light.

Tim caught a huge spider! Biggest I’ve ever seen in the house. Didn’t eat it (expect it’s yucky) but caught it repeatedly when it tried to run away, tracked it under and behind the curtains, and finally killed it. I’m so proud of him!

I don’t have strong feelings either way about spiders 🕷- but he’s a baby hunter who’s had his first successful hunt.

They seem to quite like eating spiders but he might have already had enough food and was just practicing - kittens do that in wild circumstances, and are likely to continue doing it when they are older in domestic circumstances (they continue to behave a bit kitteny into adulthood if they are well cared for!)
You'll know if he eats one because the body is apparently quite nice if a bit crunchy, but they tend to leave a few slightly chewed and damp spider legs!

Fun fact, cats will hunt and eat over 2000 species of both vertebrates and invertebrates. But they can also get fussy about what food they have in their bowl

Maybe he's doing his Father Ted impersonation.

Elsa was a semi-feral kitten. She’s six now, and only this summer has she been brave enough to go in the garden without me beside her. She doesn’t hunt, and she watches spiders scampering across the room from the safety of the sofa… but she was fascinated by this dying moth (now dead) that fell from the ceiling!

Actually had a chat with Mrs P, and it is a kind of red patch on Cleo’s head, a sort of reddishness echoed in the fur on her flank.

Mr Best is back around, he’s not been MIA, just been in and out for food/water.

But now he’s on the bed and has given/shown us his belly for the first time, he had his first (cautious) belly rub and he started drooling.

Went out this morning to get some shopping and was delighted to re encounter Buster the talking cat from down on the corner.

Not all that challenging, but at the end you get the option of a further set that's harder.

Tails.
I know everything about cats is brilliant, but their tails are wondrous to me.
Do we have enough focus on the wonderful wavy thing?
Tails tales should not be neglected.
Also, do cats know when they’re having their photograph taken?

I think they must do philosophical cos they always turn away. Always. Except when they turn towards.

Just about every pic of Lilith I take looks like she's thinking "Oh no, not another bloody photo!"
