Happy International Cat Day! 😻

More beautiful cats! I love this thread!!

This is Toby. He came to us as a stray. Vet thinks he's quite old, perhaps 10-12 but it's difficult to tell.

Happy International Cats Day to all the beautiful cats on here - and everywhere.

This is Paxo our rescue, now 20 years and 2 months, after 'helping' with our drive to the mountains. Wasn't long before she opted for an early night.

Spike & Lilith (she's the siamese ....and the crochet siamese is Louise!). Vivian on his own.....Spike and Viv are rescue brothers.....Lily tolerates them as she is the old matriarch ;-)

Billy is getting on a bit, so am I, but one of Lynne`s carers loves him to bits, and has promised to take him if he outlives me. Otherwise I`d be taking advantage of the Cats Protection system.

Happy International Cat's Day everyone! Loving all your gorgeous photos.
Here's my two - Xander & Lexie.

I’ve always had cats, but now live in a no-pets retirement flat. I do miss them. At one point I had four, an aged tabby, a tortoiseshell, and twin gingers. My very first cat, when I was eight, was a ginger called Orlando, after the cat in Orlando the Marmalade Cat, a beautifully illustrated book by Kathleen Hale - some of you may know it. One of the twins was Orlando, too. My last cat was a little black and white one who lived to be 19. I didn’t get another one because I feared it could outlive me, and then what? It would think I’d abandoned it.

I think cats protection do a scheme whereby if you die, they will make sure the cat is looked after..

Absolutely fabulous, I thought they were China!

Poor, lovely Minou is still in the back room, with his collar of shame on. After a major scrap with a huge farm cat. The big hole in his forehead (cut by vet under full aneasthesia) - is healing well so planning to take collar off on Sunday and allow him outside.

Planning to feed very little in morning, and have poached chicken and sachet mix to welcome him in the evenings to get him in and keep him in.

Wish him luck - he found us, and we love him so much.

What beautiful cats.
Love Sid and George, two bookends.

This is Simba ….. he’s 15 and gives me reason for still being here! He’s a red point Birman. 😻😻😻

Jayda is the mini-panda and Qi (cue) is the mini-tiger. They are both rescue girls, adopted from the same local organization but several years apart.

The beautiful Bob, so affectionate that his insistence on reveille any time from 4 a.m. is wearily accepted by his doting Mum

Black fluff ball is Tia and Tuxedo is Smudge. Vet said they need to go on a diet.

This is Loki, he's 14 months old and came from a household where he was being bullied by an older cat. He was raised with dogs which means he stands no nonsense from Bramble the Cockapoo, but was an indoor cat.
This is his first time ever outdoors.

Dog owners will spend £5000 on a purebred and call it Teddy

Cat owners will find a filthy ginger hanging out in a bin and call it Lord Fluffbert Purrington III

No Tom doesnt need a special day either, he is so spoiled, but i will tell him it is and no doubt he will take full advantage😅😹

At 16 (human age) he's far more sprightly and mobile than i am!

My lovely Tom, whom i suspect my GC love more than they love me😆

Kasper and Amber, Bengals being brushed in our cattery.

This is Edward, king of our house and much too big now for his cat tree.

Ronnie who adopted us.

My two are Arthur and Hobbs (they get spoilt every day and don't really require their own special day, lol)
