Your daily cat and kitten news

Had this little warm fluffy radiator sleeping next to me and squished in for at least 20 minutes!

Kizzy looks very much like my Dallas.

I think she was having a bad hair day when I took this picture as her coat doesn't normally look that rough.

 

[Happy Tree]

Spud shows his appreciation every evening after his dinner, by climbing onto my lap and kneading my chest and stomach... with his needles extended!
It's a paradox when you want to kill them for being so lovely

My cats like treading my spuds. I'm like no, this is off limits lol.

This has just reminded me that my old boy cat Malcolm (RIP) used to regularly jump up onto the bed or sofa and land with unerring accuracy on Mr K's nuts

Bob does that but I think he does it intentionally.

Yeah, Lilith's banned from doing that! I don't mind her lying across them though.

 

[Epona]

I've had a few what feels like involuntary nipple piercings over the years - I don't know why they always seem to want to run across ones most delicate bodily parts!

 

[Callie]

Pointy cat feet right in the boob. Somehow managing to balance all the cat weight into those feet. Plus some other force they can generate. With a bit of claw for good measure.


I saw this cat just now very meowy

Slightly less action shot

 

[May Kasahara]

That's a beauty

I'm concerned that Carrie should be warm enough overnight while the heating is off. The knitted bed is cosy, but it's right next to the window.

I'm wondering about buying her an igloo, but it's hard to know if she'll use it as generally she likes either a vantage point or to be completely hidden.

She doesn't sleep on my bed, I think partly because she prefers her own space but also I keep my bedroom cold and pile the covers on, so it's not the warmest option for her.

Probably going to try her on an igloo. Previous cats have had a blanket tent on the sofa, but she doesn't sit on the sofa.

She'll be well warm enough with just a blankie on the couch. All my cats have preferred that over an actual bed.

This. Don't forget RubyToogood cats have their fur too!

What about one of those Snugglesafe pads that you pop in the microwave for 7 or 8 minutes and then tuck it into her knitted bed? As long as she actually uses it (and doesn't ignore it!) they stay warm for up to 8 hours.

My lad!

Magnificent Beast

 

[moose]

Our cats are big fans of the felt pod from Zooplus I think it gets pretty toasty in there because they have to dangle their legs out sometimes, particularly when they have both crammed in together. And you can user it topless (oooh matron!) in the warmer months.

Or of course you could painstakingly knit and felt one yourself, only to have her turn her nose up at it.

 

[RubyToogood]

I've got her a hooded bed as a compromise.

This was her last winter, living rough on the mean streets of Sutton and eating out of the bins. I had some chat with her rescuer, photos taken by her.

Oh the poor cat....how on earth did she come to be living like that? Her coat looked a lot lighter than it does now she's living with you.

She must think she's in heaven now!

Poor girl!
At least she's safe and happy now
