Your daily cat and kitten news

When I was plugging in my keyboard earlier, Jakey spotted the USB end of the cable as it trailed across the sofa and my nearly 16 year old old boy was going round and round in circles all excited trying to catch it, so I trailed it round for a bit while he went all hunty hunty on it.
He's still in play mode and keeps trying to grab my fingers with his (toothless) gob. :rolleyes:
 
The resident cat where I volunteer came along to a staff leaving do/drum & bass party/early evening rave in a tent (best leaving do I have ever seen) sort of thing tonight...

Not me holding him (that's one of his human family, he does let other people hold him like that though) but I did get headbutts and slow blinks and lots of strokesies ❤️

And yes this is the same cat that regularly catches rats around the dock, he's a bit of a flirt and loves being the centre of attention as well as being a fantastic hunter.

Another one of Freddie the dock cat (he lives with his family on a boat in the dock) doing his thing and hanging out on the bar at the party. He really is gorgeous and extremely friendly, the lighting didn't make for the clearest photo of him but that's what happens when you have a cat in a tent made out of a parachute (not waterproofed btw! We got wet) with all sorts of weird lighting and smoke machines.
Anyway I like this pic and it is a bit arty so there (nothing to do with the fact that I cannot manage an in-focus photo on my phone several hours into a free bar scenario in a big tent in the dark with disco lighting).

Sometimes, as I walk past him, Cat will reach out and give me a little pat. And sometimes, he’ll extend his claw just enough to catch my clobber. Never goes through the fabric, just a brief catch and release. It’s definitely an affection thing. It‘s similar to the way he brushes me with the tips of his fur as he passes me, not close enough to nudge, just the whisper of a touch. But if he’s sat on something as I pass him, he’ll reach out and pat me or catch me. Usually he lets go right away, it’s just a brief “alright mate” kinda thing. But this morning as I passed him he caught the edge of the towel and hung on with a single claw. Looked away, but didn’t let go. For long enough that could reach over and grab my phone to take this snap. Then when he was ready, he let me go.

Last week we were disrupted for several days by the presence of builders. Normally, Cat sleeps the day away and prowls at night but because the house was busy he was outdoors all day, and disturbed and jumpy when I did see him. Before I got up this morning he came and lay stretched out along my arm and purred for so long that I had to disturb him cos I needed to get up to pee. I think perhaps this morning’s extra greetings were born out of gladness to have the place - and me - back to himself.
