Lots of lovely and funny photos of your beloved cats.

I have no pets but I'm guessing that you all have no BP problems due to the calming effect of stroking and talking to your moggies.
Long may it continue.

oohhh ….gorgeous. Would love to stroke them all.

The grey tabby is Lucy, my owner and manager; the other beauty is Poppy who has recently adopted my daughter.

Jane10 Snowball looks a lot like our Charlie from that angle

I love this thread; nearly as much as I love cats

We have two secondhand/preowned cats. Both are Ragdolls and were acquired separately.

In the house they bicker like any typical brother and sister but, outside, they pair up and look after each other.

I brought my daughter up properly so she, too, has a cat who has sent me a ‘Grandma’ birthday card....

Here are my boys today.

Such lovely cats you all have.

Our Gizmo is on a diet, as he is over 7 kilos, and does look overweight. He has lost half a pound so far. It is tough on him, poor boy. So am I, for both of us, weigh day is Thursday. I reckon he will beat me and get to his target weight first.

My daughter's rescue cat has had her nose put out by 9 month old grandson. She was always the centre of attention.

Not to be outdone, when I arrive for a visit she gets as near to me as she can and yowls till I put the baby down and make a fuss of her.

Seacliff- lovely pusses!

Kalu our first Maine Coon was just like that ginger one. He didn't have the lovely nature that Baz has and was a grumpy old thing. He lived till he was 19 though - despite himself!

That made me laugh

We were once owned by a cat!

I know what you mean though

Our Lexi, as a kitten.

Oh lovely Baz, he looks like a bigger version of my Scampy.

This is our visiting Maine Coon popping in for a hit of cat-nip last summer?

Thank you for the much needed light hearted thread TwiceAsNice?

A friend who also lives in a flat takes her ginger tom out for daily walks on a lead. She has done this since he was a kitten and he just seems to think this is how things are done, enjoying his walk?

Here's Snowball our Grandcat

Here's Baz. It's hard to show how big he actually is. He was 12kgs at the vet last time. I can't lift him!

This is the alarm clock 30 mins. after she made sure we were awake! Can’t even make the bed up completely as a look of do not disturb, from one eye warns me off?

I would happily have two but live in a flat with access to a large balcony rather than a garden. Amie is happy to be a house at most of the time and goes up and down the balcony on nice weather. I open both doors either end and she usually goes out the one and in the other . If the other cat liked to be outside a lot I think that would be cruel to make them stay inside a lot of the time

We have two cats, which is twice as nice, TwiceAsNice! They’re rescue Russian Blue brothers. Their previous ‘staff’ were posted abroad and couldn’t take them. Astonishingly, they’d been at the rescue home for six weeks with absolutely no one interested in taking them.

They are massive, 11lbs & 16lbs respectively and I did think it was like having two tigers in the house at first but they’re both as daft as brushes, as silly and soft as you can imagine.

Prior to that, we’d had a rescue kitten, who turned out to have a congenital heart problem. We kept her going for five and half happy years but it broke my heart when she died. I swore no more cats but somehow these two have inveigled their way into our lives.

When we FaceTime with our grandchildren, they don’t want to talk to us, they just want to see the cats! ?

How about posting photos of all your cats??

I have two cats, both pedigree, nearly three years old, after a lifetime of feral/rescue cats, none of which were in the least bit affectionate, or would come anywhere near our laps.
DH and I found a breeder for my preferred breed and went to look at the litter. We had originally wanted a boy, specific colouring - came away having reserved two girls, different markings!
The ones I have are bred for their affectionate nature and they certainly live up to it. They like to be in the same room all the time, will follow me to the shower or the loo, and are forever round my ankles. And are lovely lap-warmers!
One blessing is that they don't bother me at night, but if I'm not stirring by about 7am, will come and leap on my chest and try to rub my nose!
They have their routine at bedtime as well; will come and sit by my feet about 10.30pm and wait to be groomed, as they know they get a nice treat afterwards!

Thanks everyone keep the stories coming they are very amusing. At least if I have to self isolate at any point I will have company
