Phone playing up! Sorry for repeat post.

I've been trying to post that pic of Finn! Will try again.

My boy, fast asleep. ?

Finn demanding Dreamies with menaces! (He got them of course!)

Every ruddy day is cat day in this house. ??

Looking at these beautiful cats, how many of you have to be gone over with the sticky paper roller gizmo before going out of the door?

International Cat Day, huh! Well, I'm in a strop with one of my cats. She woke me up at 1.30 this morning meowing for food. Because I didn't get up that instant, she looked at me, then piddled up the bedroom radiator which puddled onto, then into, the carpet!!! Grrrr! And, yes, she did get fed but had to wait until I'd scrubbed the carpet.

No treats for that one today hmm

Here she is. Looking suitable disdainful.
Yes, that is a garden chair. It’s the most comfortable one after having my op; but I have to fight her for it.

Mawthemerrier what a great poem. I will send it to my DD. Her cat does demand her feline rights quite loudly sometimes.

FannyCornforth Mon 08-Aug-22 12:16:12

Maw that’s fabulous!

I’m going to have to see if I have a photo of Rosie. She usually looks like Stig of the dump.
She’s got a first class pedigree but you’d think she was feral.
She’s currently got huge areas of shaved fur.
I love her dearly but she’s been such a handful, and been the cause of many a sleepless night

That's a brilliant poem Maw.

I don't have an actual cat but I have this picture.

Taking the rest of the day off.

Milo and Ripley are pleased to hear this!

I have given Molly a few Dreamies to mark the event.
She was very grateful and hopes these special days come round a bit more frequently.

MawtheMerrier Mon 08-Aug-22 11:28:21

Just come across this - hope it is legible as it was a screenshot.
Brian Bilston nails it again!

Wish I still had my wonderful boy so we could have marked the day togethersad.

‘Happy International Cat Day’ to all Feline Overlords and their Faithful Minions, from Rosie and me! ?

"International Cat Day started in the year 2002. It was created to shed light on the various forms of cat abuse and raise awareness on ways to help and protect them. This year's theme is "Cat-friendly resources." Take the chance to donate to your local animal shelter or adopt a stray cat to commemorate this August 8."
