Your daily cat and kitten news

[Epona]

If they're clamped to me like this in the summer heaven only knows what is going to be like when it gets a bit chilly

Jakey only gets off my lap when it goes above about 29C in the sitting room

As an example, just took this. Most of my photos of him look like this:

Winter will be a cuddle puddle!

She's so cute. Totally deeply asleep.

I love torbies, she's so pretty

Your floor tiles are the same as the ones on our bathroom wall

I think that's the first photo I've seen of Lilith outside.

I know! She's rarely still when she goes out - once she reaches the grass she's bouncing around like the kitten at heart she is.

 

[Epona]

She does seem to spend as much time sitting on LeytonCatLady as Jakey spends sitting on me

I love cuddly cats

Afternoon all

Dennis Brown has just munched on a Red Admiral right in front of us

Bernard seems to love butterflies, and I can't fathom why because every time he eats one he looks like he's just bitten into a lime. If they taste awful, why does he keep eating them?

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Had to pop to the shops earlier. Lilith was out but it was gone 4pm so I left her dinner for her. I was gone about 20 minutes and when I got in I heard the sweetest little miaow from the top of the stairs. She then dived into her food, untouched until I got back. She was obviously too worried about me to start eating until I got home safe!

I’m not implying your kitchen is my bathroom (Gid forbid! )

I don't mind if you want to have a bath in our kitchen sink, but my housemates might not approve...

I wouldn’t wish that on anyone

He wasn't dead, just looked it.

 

[Epona]

Oh god having an elderly cat I hate the dead check if he doesn't wake up right away.

Your boy is gorgeous and looks so content

There are a number of videos of this vet on youtube.
He has a cool voice and nice manner. He sometimes deals with very angry cats.

just had to cancel as Kizzy done a runner
next available was when at a festival and the next was 19th so said yes totally forgetting i've a funeral to go to
cannot cope with vet admin!

Oh christ, they just know don't they? Only time the cat vanishes utterly for the entire day is if there's a vet appointment or he's due at the cattery. I've just learned to put up with the whining and keep him in all day, even if the vet is at 4pm.

I've found it increasingly difficult to get vet appointments since COVID - I don't actually think it is all to do with COVID per se (except a lot of people got pets during lockdowns, so the workload increased), mostly that there was always going to be a shortage of vets at some point due to 7 years at university with escalating fees and less financial support for students - although senior vets can earn a good amount (and it might seem like they are on roaring salaries given the amount we pay in fees), trainees and junior vets and even a lot of regular clinic vets are not actually massively well paid, considering the training and loans they've been through.

Love to Kizzy, I hope you manage to get her seen soon.
