Soop's welcoming kitchen for kindly caring folk...

Lovely to see Mollie ann and Kiwi kitty.
I would have missed Maisie if you hadn’t mentioned her.
soop do you think Fern is letting you know that she has been in charge of her own comings and going’s thus far in her life and has no intention of “clocking” in and out of your Cat-o-tel, gorgeous though it is? It will always be on her terms. ?‍⬛ ?

Afternoon all,

I have been missing in action or inaction as it happens and totally out of the loop . So I have some serious catching up to do.

I'll just send you all my best wishes for now an d I'll be back later x

I hope today passed peacefully you bladeannie. Very sad.

Loving all the cat tales and photos. I've added a photo of two of ours - Kiwi is the (all) black one and Maisie is the one playing hide and seek!

I'm now going back to try to tame the Body shop website - I will not let the b****r beat me.

Ann Mollie is a poppet. No need to contact the cat protection league. That pose says it all. She is a lovely, lucky girl.

Puzzler Yep! The winter fuel wotsit is a blessing. Aren't we lucky.

Charleyg Felines seem to "rest their eyes" with such grace. As I speak to Fern thorough the window, she slowly closes her eys as if to say...woteva...

Lins Hot sausage rolls. A treat that I look forward to at this time of the year. When in the past, a friend did a Boxing Day spread, she always cooked a huge tray of mini pork sausages in the Aga. The salmon and such got a brief look-in, the mini sausages were by far the favourite party food.

Fern missed her evening meal. . Throughout the evening, I was up and down like a yo-yo. I finally switched off the outside light at 11:11. Early this morning, she was back in residence and famished. Naturally, I gave her a severe talking to. Frankly, she looked bored and merely blinked and yawned.

Sending you a virtual (((hug))) BladeAnnie

BladeAnnie You are very much in our thoughts on this difficult day. May you be comforted by the thought that your dear sister is at peace.

Thinking of BladeAnnie today.

Puzzler, glad you had a good night.

TOYA

Good afternoon.
Special thoughts for BladeAnnie today such a sad occasion for you all.
I put a photo of Molly on the Good Morning thread with a message for soop bu mistake so here it is again.
I expressed the wish that Fern is soon doing this.

Good morning to everyone, at the top of Scotland ??????? , France ?? and all in between.
And special thoughts to BladeAnnie today ....... ?

Good morning and thank you Charleygirl I had a good night . It’s not nice to wake in a sweat, I hope your heating blip can be sorted quickly. I suppose it’s better than a heating breakdown now it’s winter?
Hurrah! You have received payment of your winter allowance! The system works ?

I discovered totally by accident yesterday my £10 Christmas winter fuel allowance was in my bank account. I almost missed it.

Puzzler I hope you had a decent night's sleep.

I woke up very early- roasting hot to discover my central heating had switched itself on but there are no lights on etc. I would not like to know what the T was but the place was roasting. I only hope the gas engineer can come today because I do not like this situation which I cannot control.

Needless to say Tar is enjoying this heat although I have tried switching everything off.
TOYA

Thank you Doodle, Lins and Grandmafrench. Night night. ?

Oh yes I think I'm with Tara's Mummy on this one. Did you have access to your Neighbourhood Watch Telescope, soop and, if so, did you find that little cat had any features which might make it a relative of big cat? Or maybe, if your big cat is like our big cat (who is a boy), then little cat might just be a chum of big cat, i.e. big cat is actually a Robbie! Are you following this nonsense so far? I just think that female cats are normally a bit more tentative towards strangers in their territory, hostile even! ?. Our big boy cat loves every other cat - but is neutered and a softy. Our females love no one, only us and most definitely NOT each other. I shall look forward to finding out if the little one re-appears.

BladeAnnie so much sadness for you. Take care, please. Puzzler bet you're so glad that's over. Poor you. Feel more comfortable soon. Love your stockings, NannyT so pretty - how talented you are, and what chubby little feet you must have ?. GrandmaB how very annoying that your medical appointment was cancelled. Hope you had a peaceful day (with the choir) and enjoyed a rest instead.

Wishing you all goodnight, sweet dreams, and only good things tomorrow. Hugs from French France.

Glad your offending tooth has been removed and
your gum is better Puzzler
Glad you enjoyed your meal ann it all sounded lovely.
It has been a grey cold day, but no fog here. What a beautiful sunset soop, you live in a wonderful spot. NannyT is right, Fern has definitely landed on her paws.
I have made sausage rolls and frozen them uncooked for Christmas, we do enjoy them.
My condolences to you BladeAnnie, a difficult day for you tomorrow, I too will be thinking of you.
TOYA

Thinking of you bladeannie, a sad day ahead tomorrow. Look after yourself.

soop could the other little cat be one of Fern's previous offspring? That may be why she did not show it the way out.

Puzzler sorry I missed mentioning your tooth.
Good it’s out. Hope you feel better soon ?

ann that meal out with your DGD and friends sounds lovely. I’m glad you all enjoyed it.
Soop has Fern got a little friend do you think?
BladeAnnie thinking of you. Take care tomorrow.
Take care all and keep safe
TOYA ?

My dentist was confident the infection has gone from my gum and removed the offending tooth this evening.
It should all get better now.
Thank you for your kind wishes.

I hope you feel a sense of peace for yourself and your sister as you say a sad farewell to her. Sending my love and will be thinking of you tomorrow afternoon. ?

Will be thinking of you tomorrow BladeAnnie?

Another stunning photo soop.

TOYA

BladeAnnie a very sad day for you and your family. My condolences to you.

ann I think that was a splendid idea- you had good food and more importantly a good night out.

Puzzler I hope the dentist managed to do the job quickly and easily and you are home with Mr. P looking after you. I doubt if Ruby opened an eyelid, probably having slept the day away.

Tara is upstairs resting her eyes. She is slowly learning this is a poor house and more food does not appear magically if she sniffs and walks away.

Fern seems to be enjoying her new abode. I hope MacS has sorted out an entrance for her lovely home so that she does not get wet if the rain is in the wrong direction.
TOYA

Best wishes for tomorrow BladeAnnie - I will be thinking of you ?
Soop that cat has landed on her feet!
