Your daily cat and kitten news

[Epona]

I remember seeing previous cat starting the wretch, whilst stood on the wooden floor, before almost consciously moving to the rug which the coffee table sits on, in order to chunder on that instead. She really could be a right cunt, but I loved her dearly.

Jakey sometimes seeks the comfort of my lap when his tummy is feeling a bit dodgy

Kizzy keeps looking for Misty and waiting near the door for her and looking at us confused
Thought she might be getting better but proper kicked off last night, kept going to the cat flap, sniffing around it and looking out the door
It's breaking my heart

Poor Kizzy. The whole family is grieving

Poor baby, that must be so confusing for her. Love to you all.

I think it has peppermint in it which some cats are attracted to, same family of plants as catnip but less stimulating.
Olbas oil seems to be a bit like cat marmite, some love the smell and some are repulsed by it!
I think the vapour isn't damaging for cats but don't let her come into contact with the liquid itself as it contains some essential oils that are toxic if ingested (including eucalyptus), so if she's attracted to it don't leave the bottle where she can get to it or let her lick it off anything.

Thanks, I just read up on it after watching Vastra; she won't have come into direct contact with it anyway

Lil’ Bob is stuck to the radiator this morning

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Morning everyone.

Trying to do Lilith's quarterly flea treatment (squeeze a pipette onto the back of her neck) but she wasn't having any. She's buggered off out, so I might have to wait until she's asleep.

Lil’ Bob has been missing since about 3pm today which is so unlike him. Call him what you like but never call him late for dinner. I’ve been outside calling for him every half hour or so and suddenly, 2/mins ago, he’s appeared from nowhere. Of course I’ve scolded and hugged him stupid - but Ivwish he wouldn’t do shit like this

Our nervous little visiting cat has just appeared, but seems a bit shy tonight compared to last night.

Maybe if we leave them to their meal ...

They're just furry teenagers, innit. Treat the bloody place like a hotel!

The wee bugger though! He’s too wary of strangers to have been abducted and Mrs SFM was thinking the worst as he’s a very clingy lad. I kept offering rational explanations for his absence (that I didn’t believe either..Now that he’s back, Mrs SFM is spoiling him rotten and he’s just had a double ration of cat pate. Relieved

It's times like this you wish they could talk so they can tell you what they've been up to! Glad he's safe and well.

You want one of those tags on their collar that you can track on your phone! That's what I'd do if I had indoor/outdoor kitties
At least you can retrieve their collar when they inevitably lose it

I think that might be even scarier. We thought about putting a wee camera on one of them but Ibthink we’d rather not know

I absolutely love seeing videos that people put online of their cat's camera.
Quite often a surprisingly bigger amount of time than one might expect seems to be spent sitting having staring contests with other cats in the name of territorial disputes

I love watching cats going through the ritual of being caught in another’s territory, realising it isn’t going to end well and very slowly backing off while maintaining eye contact (full supporting cast of low growls and mellifluous trilling)

So was Lilith...briefly. She tortured and killed a mouse under my bed, then went back out again, leaving me to find and dispose of the corpse.

We are the undertakers after all - “E spiritus Sanctus…etc” as they are sent to the black bin bag of oblivion

What a sweet story.
BTW I think Yellow looks like editor's Ziggy.

I know the whole "performing cat" is controversial...
But the thought process is writ on this gorgeous cat's face...I love how they take their time and fully assess the situation..

 

[polly]

Mrs SFM frequently complains of the same with regards to Lil’ Bob

Late to this but yes!! And they do that thing (icr the name) where their back paws land in exactly the same spot as their front so they get you twice

The other three aren't especially bothered - not that we get many feline visitors here but they don't seem to mind the one that does sometimes appear - but I think everyone this side of the island can hear when Canelle's got into a territory dispute.

That's cat-love in full flow...!
