It's a good job he was free ?
Worst thing the cat's done.

Is it time to remind him that he is an obligate carnivore?

It must be, he has a real taste for bread wrapped in plastic too.

Fresh from being denied the salmon, we now have bacon gate. OH had cooked up the bacon, ready to go in the risotto. He left it on a plate and popped upstairs. I was in the lounge.
I heard the plate clang, went out to the kitchen, to find the Fluffy Round Pudding (OH calls her devil cat) beating a hasty retreat from the side, complete with bacon rasher ??
He thought she'd just licked it as I returned it swiftly to the plate!
I think the bacon juice is all in her bib, which he's appalled at as it means she gets "rewarded" for stealing the bacon! Plus it'll be even more congealed than normal after she's sucked it!

But she's sooo beautiful, surely she can do no wrong?
My dear, sadly departed Zooscat, The Killer Burmese, used to glare nastily through neighbours' galley windows when they were cooking their breakfasts. He would creep nearer and nearer, fangs hanging down over drawn-back lips, until they gave in and threw a rasher out for him. Worked every time. But he was very beautiful, and occasionally, very charming.

What a fabulous "mad (obligate) cat" expression! I've got a carbon copy, called Kevin. Built like a back-street club bouncer.

That's KevinKat's Killer Bruvver!

Oh I forgot he also stole and gnawed on a block of parmesan I accidentally left out and left it in the middle of the floor.

We're still new to ways of cats, having inherited our neighbour's older cat.
I was out all day yesterday. Came back to find that OH had had a falling out with the cat. OH had left two slices of frozen chunky bread out on the work surface to defrost for his lunch, as usual, only to find just one left when he came back. We thought that bread would be off limits for cats.
Mind you, if she simply knocked it on to the floor, there would be a willing accomplice ready to dispose of the evidence, and she's not telling either ?!
The cat already gets 4 x Felix pouches a day, and wants more. Vet says she's a tad porky - she's 10 yrs old and 5.6kg. The cat is unimpressed with the suggestion that we cut down on her food.

Our cat has a new found love of bread regardless of how stale, mouldy or wrapped in plastic it is. You'd think we starved him ? no bread is safe

My cats don't eat bread but they will kill for cake and scotch pancakes especially if there is maple syrup involved. Weird creatures.
Back to worst things, Sebastian decided as he had used his puppy pad to wee on he would use the middle of the bathroom floor for his number two on Wednesday night. I wouldn’t have minded but it was a rather sloppy ? and had spread far and wide ??

Thank you. It was my last remaining hen a few years ago who decided living the life of a cat was far more to her liking ? Luckily Sebastian was happy with the arrangement.

Tonight, KevinKat has been nagging me for a mouthful of banana. I eat two or three a day. I offered him a bit, but he sniffed it and declined.
He cannot be hungry, surely? He has a large tin of Felix per day, plus ad lib James Wellbeloved dry biscuits, dental chews, urinary tract healthy treats, and catnip sweets.
He's been in residence for two months now. He's got a reasonable covering over backbone and ribs.
After his breakfast , he does tend to waddle. He's still tending to gorge, first thing.
Will he ever get over being abandoned?

My fuzzycat decided that my pre-christmas spending was not sufficient, and neither was paying for two made to measure saddles for my ponies… and decided to get poorly for no reason whatsoever. For a week. Two days at the vets on a drip and numerous trips backwards and forwards later, he’s now on the other side of a £1k bill and happy as Larry.
No idea what was wrong, or why.
he’s lucky that he’s cute ?

Merlin was doing his usual evening flying around the room after imaginary prey and decided to run across my legs as I was sitting on the sofa in my dressing gown... it flippin hurt the little sod - still love him though ?. Sprayed with Savlon and it’s fine now.

OH and the cat have an odd relationship. Said cat has chewed the cords on all of OH's headphones over the years (he never touched mine). You'd think he'd learn to not leave them out by the 4th set! I did get him some Bluetooth headphones, sans cord, for Christmas, however.
So, anyway, the cat always comes in the bedroom at roughly 4am to kneed on OH. OH hates it because it wakes him up and sometimes the cat knees directly on his skin. So last night he finally tells the cat to go away. Shortly after I hear chewing. Yep, cat was up on top of a dresser where OH left out another set of headphones ? I don't even know how the cat, who never goes up there, finds them! The one time they're left out (OH still hasn't gotten the concept of NEVER leaving them out). So the cat got his "revenge" and all I heard this morning was "I hate that cat"

Oh, how did I forget the rest of the story?! He then proceeded to go downstairs and vomit (from eating headphones!) on top of the fish aquarium (???). Which OH had to then clean up as the first witness on the scene.

My tablet started turning off randomly and charging very, very slowly. I was convinced the battery was dying, then remembered seeing the kitten biting the charger lead. Changed leads and all back to normal. We don't know what he's done to it, apparently it tests as if it's absolutely normal ?
He reached a kitten milestone yesterday, too. His first chuck up on the carpet. It's grand isn't it, when you're dozing in bed and near that unmistakable "hurgh hurgh" noise, and know if you disturb them they'll just spread it over an even bigger area ?

Ah yes, a few nights ago ours decided to expell a hairball. Fortunately on our hard floor. We did used to have an area rug with a small patch of white on it...he always found the white part to vomit on ?
Nothing wakes me up out of a dead sleep like an animal about to vomit. I think I literally flew across the room once to remove the dog from her just washed bed so that she'd do it on the floor! Cats give more warning sounds though.
