I was sitting in my bedroom today having a face pack and reading some rubbish in the press when I spotted movement out of the corner of my eye...
A cheeky cat had wandered in and was giving me the once over..
Very quietly.. for fear of cracking the face pack.. I stood up and showed him the way out..
He didn't rush.. He just strolled down the stairs and out into the garden..  :grin:
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

We have a very timid big wimp of a cat.  I went into the kitchen recently and was surprised that he didn't come to me but was keeping very still.  I walked round the corner to find a neighbour's cat curled up in our cat's bed (Prime cardboard box).

I picked our cat up and shouted Paul who came and chased the other cat.  Several neighbours have found this cat in their own beds.  Cheeky monkey.

I've got a very glamorous Chinchilla (from next door) who enjoys the odd visit. The dogs don't trouble her now and indeed Doris has made a new friend. She very cleverly enters by Boris's window and then sits up on the shelves, cleaning and taking in the rays. Rather keen on Chicken too. I'm very fond of cats as my late wife bred Birmans and Havanas.

I have a soft spot for cats and I am sure they can sense it.. 
I never raise my voice.. 

Cassandra.. You now have a Chinchilla cat visit.. !!
How wonderful.. Has it met Boris. ?
Imagine them both paying a visit at the same time.. !!

I have a fancy for one of those Maine Coon cats. Beautiful big moggies.  :grin:  :smiley:

No their paths haven't crossed yet 'Simble' comes after Boris has gone to bed, but she sure can smell him on the Tap! My late wife had a good friend in Lincolnshire who bred 'Maine Coons'. They were huge, afraid of nothing (with good cause) and could be right so and so's. "Tiger, Tiger burning bright" really fits them, huge eyes of fire, magnificent creatures. My favourite was a Blue Havana, who was killed on the road and it seriously cracked me up, to this day even. She was my cat you see and never left my side, when I came home. I'd have one tomorrow, but they're such independent souls I'd fear for their safety here. That said 'Simble's now 5 and never had a problem, there's no traffic here at least. She was very fond of the previous owner of my home apparently and appears to be getting her pads under the table again!

We're off tomorrow (Coop and I), taking off 5am (wonderful time to fly here in a small plane) to pick up my 2 Cricketing pals and fly them back through the ravines.

Tomorrow I have some direction arrows  to paint.. I am very excited about finishing project and then...
Cassandra tells us that 'Tomorrow we take off in a small plane to pick up some friends and fly them back through the ravines'
What a contrast to me painting arrows..

Love your cat Alex..

George was a lovely cat Alex.  Ours is very similar but ginger.

My cat Polly was just a regular old tabby..
She was gentle and laid back..
When a bird flew into the living room and perched on a chair , wondering where the hell it was, Polly who was sleeping nearby opened one eye but couldn't be bothered to move.. She lived until she was 16..

George once terrified next door neighbour's visiting dog, he ran up the fence and chased the dog into their house.  He was such a character, but very affectionate too.

We only had one cat, Meg, a big black and white moggy. She wasn't affectionate, but she let us live with her! She was almost 19 when she had to be PTS. Our daughter got her as a kitten, but went to work abroad after a few years, so she came to live with us.

Cat people here.

We're at that stressfull time keeping our old kitty indoors for a couple of weeks in our new home before we let her out to claim her new territory. She's not happy about it! Only 2 more days!
