And this is why I adore cats 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌.
My late mum took in a semi feral cat at 3 months, lived till she was 20. A chap lived at the other end of the road to my parents and his great dance refused point blank to walk past my parents house - he was terrified of the cat - she'd chased him up the length of the road and the poor mutt never got over it 😂.
Dogs do not forget an attack by a cat! My best mate growing up had a golden lab and she and the dog were round my house one day, and the lab was keen to ‘talk’ to my dog, a wee terrier. My dog was not interested and my cat, who had shown nothing but complete disdain and indifference to our dog since the dog’s arrival, suddenly decided she would act as security and got between the dogs and gave the lab an almighty thwack across the nose, drawing a little blood. My Mum tried to lift our cat out of the way to remove her and she responded by sinking all her claws into the carpet and not releasing them. The lab was terrified of cats for the rest of her life. Whoops.

I wonder if he has a bit of Maine Coon in him? They're very dog-like and also nosy, they like to follow their people around and enjoy hanging out.
I'm not sure.

I think there might be Persian in the mix as his fur is unlike any cat I've met previously.

He doesn't have an outer coat. All his fur is incredibly soft to the touch and my fingers just disappear into it.

Some of you may know this already. But b&m do salmon, tuna, duck and chicken fillets for £1. Loads cheaper than in the main supermarkets. We’re trying to keep him from being a large cat and these act as filler when he’s crying for food, he enjoys them more than his normal food. He can’t eat chicken but loves the salmon and tuna. He’s mainly wet fed and drinks from a fountain but we always put some water on the fillet to moisten it - a handy tip for those kitty’s who need to drink more x

Lads,

It's a week yet until Christmas and Jimmy already has three Christmas presents.

I'm not jealous or anything.

Just saying.

Just finished putting my Christmas lights up with only a slight amount of "assistance" from Jimmy.

Seems he prefers the strings of lights to be tangled rather than untangled.

He took it with good grace though, and only sat in the middle of one set of lights and batted them about with his paws.

Peach went to the vets yesterday and has NOT been happy with us ever since.

She has thick claws on her middle two front toes and won't let us get close enough to clip them. We can do a quick snip of the others but these are tough ones so she has to get her pedicure at the vets so they don't press into her paw pads. The vet didn't offer her a treat afterwards AND two puppies had the audacity of trying to sniff her. Probably the worst day of her life.

She’s furiously typing out a letter of complaint, you can expect to hear from her solicitor 🤣

I can’t remember if it was a claw clip, a health check or a ‘proper’ vet appointment we took our old lass to. We were told when we adopted her that she hates the vet. To be honest, she mostly just sits like a dead weight and refuses to move or be examined. With a face like pure thunder. Anyhoo, she had sulked through her appointment so the vet got a couple of Dreamies out of the jar and she was so affronted she ignored them. So the vet picked one up and popped it on her front paw. Wow, if looks could kill, my cat would be serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the AUDACITY of the vet to play down how awful the visit had been for the cat 🤣🤣🤣

My old Pooh Bear hated the vet. One of the vets asked us "Is he always this sad?"
Yeah, he was a sad cat unless he was getting pats and stuff.

Peach also dead weights, tucks her little tail and paws under herself but it's definitely not a loaf and definitely an act of defiance. The vet she had two times ago was lovely and offered her a feliway lick-e-lix style treat which she loved and didn't feel too hard done by on that trip. Then, we had the same vet as this time on our last visit and she only got offered a singular dreamies which she doesn't like and we did say that she's not keen on them at all (she doesn't seem to like any hard treats except from freeze dried tuna and chicken bits etc) and she vet said "well she might take it" and Peach just looked at us as if to say "what the duck is this woman doing?!" :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Merry loves going to the vet purely so she can leap from her carrier onto the keyboard. Once she's inputted gobbledegook she then rambles around till she returns to the table for examination/treatment. Her brother Loki refuses to budge so we have to dismantle the carrier around him - talk about an immovable object 😸

She sounds like one of my cats. Only lick-e-lix and primo freeze dried treats. None of that cheapo stuff 🤣 would defo find dreamies offensive 🤣

This head jumps up onto the flat roof and then can’t get down, so he shouts until we let him in via a window.
