That pic included Theo, the previous feral foster [under right hand chair] who did go to a new home after socialisation here, thus proving we don't keep all of them ;)

Or white clothing. Our cat's party piece is to deposit black hair on my white T-shirt and white hair on my black jeans.

Look to the right ... by the fridge ... behind Mumble's ample black bonce ... near the front of the queue ... two Jack Russells! ;)
 
I shouldda put on my not-from-Specsavers reading glasses! I could only see one but can now (suitably bespectacled!) see t'other.

That is the all-inclusive fur redistribution service. Every cat has spent long hours, days and months training to master this procedure and turn it into a fine art, whereby all redistribution contrasts in a complimentary way with the surroundings...all the surroundings... the entire home...
 
If you're VERY lucky, the cat(s) will only shed the fur to redistribute it among its admirers (unless the cat(s) is (are) on something rare and precious or warm and absorbent like a duvet...) when the redistribution will be in the form of soggy wet balls.

our 7 month olds like to jump from their climbing tree thing onto my legs which are often bridging the gap from coffee table to sofa :-\

Wait for the day after sitting on your lap, they decide to get up and use your testicles as a spring board.:eek:
I'm fortunate in that the cat hasn't got me in this fashion, but she has got both of my sons many a time.:)

Oh don't worry I've had that..

One cat at the foot of the bed, the other on a bedside table.. You can see where this is going..
 
My friend was sleeping, when 21lbs of tabby cat launched himself off the TV at the end of her bed, completely winding her! :eek:

@Yves Geza will testicle-ify that a pair of jack russells doing the same is even worse.... :eek::LOL:

Ah, yes, another ruined keyboard, thank you. :rolleyes:

Oh, and if you could just pass the mind bleach too.....
 
After you with the MB please, Heather!

So you won't be wearing a meringue if/when you get married then? ;)
 
I wondered why one of mine appeared to sleep on the floor next to the sofa. I thought it an odd place. Then one evening after she'd been asleep on the sofa arm for a while I heard this flumph noise....never even woke her up. The frantic scrabble and thud is even funnier. She slips off the back of the sofa as well. And the front. Daft animal.

Our tom cat is a master of timing. He'll sit on the bedroom window sill whilst we're asleep and wait...................and wait....................and wait...............until I turn over onto my back when he'll decide to leap off the sill (about 6 feet away) onto the bed!

Guess where he lands! :eek:

Nope. Deranged Tortie :)

All tortoiseshells are fruit loops.

About 10 years ag o we had one who used to steal socks that were bundled together and were never seen again. That was till we found dozens of them grouped in dry parts of the garden, garage etc. They were her "kittens" we believe. Brilliant mouser - anything edible that came into the garden so we often had a smorgasbord of frogs toads mice baby hares and a range of birds all grouped neatly on the patio.

:ROFLMAO: with MC's its the opposite, it's when they are awake they are at their most ridiculous, usually because their tiny brains are so far away from the ends of their tails, they have no idea what that rear mounted rudder is doing half the time. All 3 of ours, but the two silver tabbies in particular, can often be seen over balancing off a precarious perch as that tail swings into action. Or they do that thing of throwing themselves down for a back roll near the edge of a bed or sofa, the tail falls down the side, quickly followed by the arse it's attached to. Cue that well known cat look of 'DON'T LAUGH, I meant to do that!' and stalking off casting evil glares at the offending sofa/bed.
 
My daughter's Siamese (5 months) has all the svelte arrogance of her breed, with the personality and raucous voice to go with it, but makes her presence known. She's still too small to jump onto the kitchen worktop, so she just launches herself up the leg of anyone standing next to it. Tolerable, if you're wearing long trousers or jeans, but it's summer here and I usually wear shorts when I visit. Kitten claws are sharp. I looked after her for a few days last week, and learned the night/morning routine according to Chai as well. Shut her out of the bedroom and she'll howl and wail until you relent, then settle down to sleep on the bed quietly until about 5am. That's time for her human to get up, and it seems to be an escalating process of purring in your ear, licking your eyelids, and hitting you in the face with her paw with claws slightly extended then, if that doesn't work, sliding under the duvet and sinking her baby teeth into your toes. She's adorable though.

Or settling down to wash and pretending it didn't happen..............?
 
Deranged Tortie has also learned to harness the power of dark matter as she shakes the entire house when jumping off the bathroom window sill. She probably weighs 3KG but lands like 300KG.

Maisie has several favourite spots for her snoozes, some in fairly odd spots. Wasn't until I git the FLIR camera that I realised that all of them are over the CH pipe runs! Of course, her favourite places are laps, especially when the laps are occupied by computers...
She's a fairly dainty thing as far as size goes but I can get out of bed quieter than she can! She's not very clumsy but does sometimes do the tummy rub roll and need to be caught as she slides ungracefully past the event horizon... Her greatest expertise lies in getting underfoot, especially on the stairs at 0:mygodit'searly when I'm trying to creep down in the dark so Mrs Nod can get a few extra hours of kip.
 
You know you've got a cat when.....

..... there's a direct correlation between how much sun an object in your house (chair, sofa, bed, patch of carpet) catches throughout the day and how grubby it is.
 
for all their little faults, i for one will be going home and giving a big hug to my two (or at least trying to) after reading about the woman who was jailed for 14 weeks for microwaving her kitten to tell it off.

im enraged, disgusted and upset at the same time.

Sadly Neil it is not the first time. A similar incident occu4ed late in 2012.. Act of revenge on a "friend's kitten that time.

God only knows what goes through the person that willfully does such a vile thing to what is, after all, a pet.

They walk amongst us.....

Looks like separate incidents.

I remember the hale and pace sketch with the cat in the microwave. Caused a lot of ire.

Cats should be slow cooked anyway. Ideally over years mainly by radiators, sunshine and laps.... ;)
 
Many will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave paw prints in your heart.
 
When they are sitting there on the table, TV stand, night stand (basically any surface where you put something) for ages then just decides it doesn't like the item next to it which happens to usually be made from glass and decides to knock it off, which then makes the world right again. Kind of like the link below.


The amount of broken glasses, lost money, and other items is unfathomable.
 
............the kids stink after playing in their sand pit :mad:
 
Feeling that spot of drool land when one of them decides to shake like a dog...
