    She doesn't try that with me, she just gets on next to or on my lap. I think k she knows who she can bully/con.

    The chirrup noise is a hello apparently....and I agree judging by when mine does it.
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.

    Pickles has a couple of chirrups/pirrurps
    She's looking like a cat now
    So glad we managed to get some food into her before she starved as she's a lovely, willful awkward thing

    OK more about the wonderful slightly odd world of picalili.

    She likes to go out bask, kill blades of grass etc. But every 20 min's meanders in purruping, sticks her nose in your face, rubs your cheeks and goes back out. I think she's checking we haven't moved.

    OH was sorting the car yesterday so I am getting the pics of madam helping (sat on the dashboard mooch ed around inside etc)


    One of mine went missing for 18 months and ever since his return he will pop in, miaow a few times to grab our attention then go back out. I think his way of letting us know he's still about.

    His royal scrappiness is in a good mood today.

    Not only is fussing allowed but there has been purring!

    We think he got the stripey cat back (also possibly knocked up a girl cat)

    I had a puddle of black and white contented fur lol
    Apparently this time of year is all about the fighting and girls.

    Pickle won't settle till he's in which is sweet
    This morning madam was trilling from her position of on her side with her eyes closed.

    ... he's been snipped though, yes?

    Just thinking cats get STDs the same as humans (and some quite dangerous ones)
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    He hasn't new shadow.
    He was entire and we have been sorting him out mentally for the last 12 months.

    I am looking at it (just need to persuade OH)
    It was the wrong thing to do when we first brought him back and MIL was a law unto herself.

    Pickle has just pulled over a sideboard

    Don't know how

    She is unharmed thankfully but she really thought she was in trouble and needed lots of reassurance to understand that we don't beat kittens for being kittens in this house.

    Not the end of the world, but until you get him fixed you might find he disappears up to 5 miles from home looking for a girlfriend (If he gets lost you need to send out the posters up to 10 miles), and keep an eye open for the symptoms of FIV (Feline AIDs).
