The share my cat thread #5

[LouBug19]

If everything goes to plan I will be bringing my new fur baby home on the 1st April!! I cannot wait.

Thanks everyone, she had had heart and thyroid problems but they were well controlled with meds (feels so weird saying it past tense). But this morning she just didn’t seem herself and then she stared having seizures so rushed her to the vets and they couldn’t get it under control. When they stopped it seemed like she was left blind and potentially brain damaged.

My heart is utterly broken. I’m supposed to be in work tomorrow in the office and have a meeting scheduled for 730am. I asked my bosses if we could do it online after what’s happened and didn’t even get a single email response. I’m scared of going to bed given she’s spent every night of the last 15 years on my bed and I’m scared of waking up as she was the one demanding I get up and make breakfast. What would you do? Would you try and make the meeting online despite being heartbroken and possibly hungover or just ring in sick and tell them where to go? My eyes have swollen so much that my Face ID doesn’t recognise me

I would call in sick. If you don’t feel comfortable saying it’s due to your loss then say you are off sick due to an awful headache / migraine. Or sickness. Grief and crying can cause terrible headaches and vomiting, which companies may see as more ‘proper’ reasons to be off sick (not condoning this attitude, just stating a fact).

New to the thread but thought you would all appreciate my boy, Captain Ewen Montagu, Naval Intelligence (Monty for short). We adopted him 6 months ago and named him after our favourite musical so he got saddled with not just a name but also a title and MI5 duties

...love this...my sister had a cat who visited her house who they christened Wing Commander Dougie, after Douglas Bader, as his markings on his face looked like one of those wartime moustaches...

Meanwhile no more crocheting for me whilst Loki tests the almost completed blanket for comfort. He gives it10/10. I, however, am sweltering under the weight and heat of them both!

i love the bossy paw

We call that a sassy paw! Susan's the queen of the sassy paw.

 

[LouBug19]

Let her try catnip for the first time and this was her 10 minutes later!

 

[TwooTwooTwitTwitTwoo]

she's house trained I promise!

Your TV says otherwise

This came up on my FB memories today, taken 7 weeks after we'd adopted Merry and her brother Loki. They're nearly 9 and Merry still likes to be cuddled like this . View attachment 2910560

Cats never change from kittens do they, my little boy loved sitting on my neck as a kitten when he was tiny, now he's grown up and ooesnt get that he doesn't quite fit but still tries

To put some cheer into Monday, here's a pic of Loki 5 years ago. We'd had him and his sister for a month and he needed 12 teeth extracting hence the shaved right leg .

I got this for free from a local page…didnt think she’d use it but she loves it!
she now has 4 beds in the lounge

 

[TheCat'sMother]

I just love seeing everyone's cat pictures, they make me so happy.

I have recently retired, so now that I have time, I am now going to start at the beginning of thread #1 I will no longer be a lurker!

Looking forward to a lovely weekend getting to "know" them all.

Not sure how to post my cat picture. I'm not at all technical, but will ask my grandson to help next time he's over.

So in love with her, she has really filled a hole I've had since I lost Lou. She's very affectionate.

 

[MaineCoonMama]

I can’t be without a cat. I love them so much.

Same here, Ive had my own cats since I was 4 years old.
When I met my husband he didn't really like cats, he wouldn't hurt one but just hadn't spent time with them. Now he has his own cat, Thor, seen here in pretzel formation.

I’ve been offline for a few days and just seen the
news @MaineCoonMama I’m so sorry for what you’re going through and hope you’re okay, Pooh was such a lucky guy to be so adored by you. And he was such a handsome gentleman
too, I always loved the photos of him lounging around Sending so much love to you and the other kitties, we’re all here for you

Also sending love to you @NoddyFromToytown - Sleek was a stunner and I can’t imagine how you’re feeling I would definitely phone in sick, I wish employers would understand how much pet bereavement can affect us all. They’re family to us! You’re in the right place, we all understand
