She'd love that! She's very friendly and a bit like a living teddy bear with her winter coat. Currently cuddling my arm as it's only 2 degrees.OMG Can I babysit?!?
Jimmy is going through an Elizabethan phase right now.
Gorgeous and so beautifully symmetrical
Jimmy is one handsome gentleman cat.
I've just had the embarrassment of explaining to the catsitter that she needs to keep an eye on the half pint glass next to the woodburner, because that's my idiot boy's water-glass.My parents got one of those water fountains for their cats, never used at all. Mine both drink quite a lot of water(compared to other cats I've had) but would never drink from a bowl, they only like drinking from glasses, which means in practice that in hot weather my flat is full of water glasses on the floor for the cats while I only drink out of bottles so I can be sure my water hasn't been drunk from by the cats
They will have seen and heard everything! The cat sitters we have had were surprised to discover that our food obsessed girl will come to the door and greet them, then fully entertainer them to the kitchen and demonstrate where all the food is, and once’s she’s had some, will make her way to the tap and lick it to encourage them to turn it on so she can hydrate herself
we barely need to give them instructions I love how quirky cats are, Susan has a thing for my husband's right eyebrow. It needs at least one smell and lick per day followed by a boop and sometimes she'll lean her little head on his shoulder if it's been a particularly satisfying experience.
My cat is actually embarrassing at this point when the cat sitter comes in to pick up keys he immediately does his treat dance which evolved from just a little beg standing on back paws to a full on macarena. Like let the woman walk through the door first!They will have seen and heard everything!

Have just seen a full copy of our cat’s vet records from the time we moved here, as we’re making an insurance claim. It’s hilarious. We look totally neurotic as cat parents, pretty much every time we’ve taken her revolves around her food (ie she’s not eating or is being sick or both, which is consistent with her new IBD diagnosis), we’re obsessed with her weight apparently, there’s exasperation from the vets about how much our cat hates being there and doesn’t want to be examined or engage in the consultation (she could be so much worse, but she turns into a lump that refuses to move and her facial expressions are a complete picture!). Few notes about the times they need a vet nurse to wrap her in a towel to get stuff done. But all the vet nurses that clip her claws write up about how much she loves Dreamies . It’s really made me laugh, I wonder what they think about us as a dysfunctional little family

When we took our old Pooh to a new vet she asked "Is he always this sad?" Haha, nah. He was a happy cat but hated the vet.
She asked if she could show him to the ladies next door as they'd never seen a Maine Coon in real life. He perked up when he was being petted and much of. He was a gorgeous boy.
I'm envious of his 'Victorian Gentleman' whiskers.
He was a boy, darling Dolly! It's ok, when I was in the MC club on Facebook he always got called a pretty lady and everyone thought Susan was a male. I mean, she's called Susan? A bit like that Johnny Cash song 'A Boy Named Sue.'Pooh bless her such a beautiful wonderful cat.
Oh bugger Maine yes I knew the darling was a boy !yes exactly right a boy named Sue
