The Cat Thread

They can easily be twice the size a normal moggy, no?

We have a NFC and Bengal cross and he's smaller than my Ginger Tabby. About the size of a normal cat really.

Whatever the cross entails...

Another cat.

Yep, Mrs Cyoa suggested Feliway. Not heard of Zylkene. And thanks for the heads up on bites. So far he's kept a respectful distance but after last night we'll keep an extra eye out.

Another cat...

Are you sure? :-P

@c0gsucker, don't tempt me... I think Patch needs a friend, but that friend should probably not be a cat...

@CYOA, why is he chewing a pic of himself?

I have known 2 in my experience, one was normal size and the second was toward the larger end of the spectrum.

Being a cross it'd quite likely just be normal.

We do not have a cat,
so naturally we have all the cats of the neighbourhood
attempting to establish dominance in our garden.

Any dug over soil has to be protected with wire mesh to prevent 'presents' being left under a thin coating of soil. We are sometimes left a tribute of a small dead rodent on the garden path,
or just undigested dry food vomitted onto one particular paving slab.

One family of neighbours have 8/9 rescue cats, a couple of which are affectionate and will stop for a stroke/playfight.

I'm guessing we have 15 or so cats through our garden on an average day,
so when another, persistent cat, showed up last Thursday, I had a guess of where it might belong. The leonine-coated newbie seemed to respond to being stroked, so I put on an old outdoor fleece, picked it up, and carried it the few houses up the street to the multi-cat house.
'No, not one of ours'.
Flummoxed, I put the cat down gently and hoped it would find its way home.

Still here, yesterday.

Wandering along to the high street, I see a 'lost cat' notice, asking for a sleek ginger cat to be returned. Left a message this morning. No response two hours later so I phone again. Requested to email a photo over to the possible owner.
Cat has been missing for 18 months, having been 'lured' away by someone else.
Bushy, fox-like tail and vertical black line from inner corners of eyes seem sufficient to identify 'cat-in-garden' as the lost 'Malcolm'. (Did wonder if leaving home was a protest at the name?)

Possible owner at work till 7pm.

Tune in later to get the final installment of the 'feelgood story of the year'.*

[Shamelessly borrowed from Danny Baker].

Narcissism.

The more I look at that pic, the better it gets.

Are you still in touch with the breeder? They may have advice they can share.

Can't help but pic is creasing me up.

Well if you are trying to hardsell your cat to one of us, you ought to get a pic that shows some of his cuteness? But this has gotta be one of my favorite cat pics of all time!

HAHAHA!!!

I'm beginning to see why the cat hates you

Proof that Patch doesn't like other cat... I haven't seen the tabby for a few days now... but the tabby was very interested in me...

So cute.

We've been struggling with our Birmans constantly shedding shitloads of fur all over us and the flat. Turns out they have a winter coat and need help getting rid of it.
Enter the furminator.
Once I'd finished they looked like they had halved in size. They actually look like kittens again.
It's knocked about 90% off the amount of fur shedding. Life changing.

Mesmerising. Laughing to myself on the train.

Looks like they are playing statues!

one of my neighbours popped into my store to ask if I had seen the "lynx" that was roaming the cul de sac where I live before she called the RSPCA. I explained it was one of my 3 maine coons. And that he was only 2 and was only gonna get bigger........

The wife knitted a giant cat bed to go on top of the fridge..
