The Cat Thread

So bloody cute!

He pooed on the sofa. Not so cute. How can a pea-sized poo be so smelly!?

Aww he he he!

I'm working from home today and the cleaner is here - she didn't realise I'm here and I heard her talking to Celeste, who she has renamed Mimi! Celeste/Mimi was happily snoozing away but then the cleaner got out the horrible noisy machine and little C is on the sofa looking concerned.

Does anyone elses cat have a wierd thing about smelly armpits? Morning cuddles with the boy just got a bit tense suddenly when he stuck his face in my unwashed pit. He's tried to bite my underarm hair before so I tried to push him away and he fully attacked my arm. Had to have a stern word with him although he came back pretty sheepish a few seconds later.

Koshka loves a bit of salty pit. Have to keep arms down if I don’t want a grooming. My old family cat back in Manchester used to lick your hair if you were sat on the sofa. Men only and he and especially loved my dad’s bald pate. I assume it’s like a salt lick, topping up their electrolytes.

I've heard that grooming can be an expression of dominance, not sure how true that is though.

As with all behavoural things its a question of context. It definitely can be a dominance thing but not all the time.

My girl fell into the loo in the middle of the night some years back. Frightened the bejesus out of both of us, altho she looked worse afterwards.

Cleaner? Off to the Golf Club thread with you!

Ironically, after searching for a cat that my wife wouldn’t be allergic to, I think I am 😔

Oh dear! How allergic are you? I'm allergic to cats and I had a hard time staying at my girlfriend's place when we first started seeing each other because of her cat. It took a while but I'm not noticeably allergic to him anymore (which is good because he spends most nights sleeping on my chest).

Oh that’s good to hear. I thought it usually went the other way.

I get hay fever, though never that bad. This is the same, and at the same time of year so I’m not sure if it’s Jam or from outside. Perhaps a bit of both. Won’t really know until after spring.

Tree pollen is reaaaaally bad at the moment...

Hopefully just hayfever then! I don't suffer from it very often but am noticing it at the moment.

Splodge nearly drownded in the khazi bowl when he was tiny. Before he came to ours.

Aww she looks just like our dear old girl Toppy

Super cute

Give it six-eight weeks and you'll be free of allergies. Thats how long it took me, and I was properly wheezy around cats before being landed with one.

Now the little fucker tries his best to kill me by sitting on my head and I'm absolutely fine.

I'm the same, when I got Celeste I sneezed and sniffled a lot, now she's by my side pretty much the whole time I'm at home and it's fine, other than my skin being a bit itchy at times.

So cute!

There are few things more soul destroying than shopping for insurance.

Trying to use said insurance an obvious candidate
