Im wfh today. I had my cup of tea on the headboard behind me as I'm lying in bed to do the work.

I already have one load of washing scattered around the house which isn't drying but its meant to rain all weekend so can't put it out

Gary clearly decided I needed more washing to sort the drying of as he's just pulled my cup of tea down off the headboard and soaked the bedding with it.
Cheers Gary, great work.

Updated!!!

Of course that lamp isn't on the floor because of me...

My cat sleeps on my Xbox sometimes to stay warm. While I'm in the middle of playing an online game or watching something very interesting, he will look at me with his eyes slanted as if he were disgusted that I am not paying attention to him. He will then move his paw very slowly towards the power button, and just before I can say something to scare him off, he will tap the power button with his little paw pad. Then he'll turn his head the other direction and go back to sleep.

Did you know that you can buy power button protectors?

Our naughty cat Fluff has a habit of breaking into the grand house next door and relieving himself on their antique entrance hall rug - we had to resort to supervised lavatory breaks 5 times a day ?? My husband despises Fluff (as you can clearly see in this picture! Ha!)

Are you sure he's not simply annoyed at being photographed wearing those sandals?

A cat I’ve been told about used to shag his owner’s dressing gown if it had been left on the bed. Apparently the dressing gown didn’t smell good after that!

When I lived at home my parents ragdoll (who was done) used to erm.. enjoy himself.. on my throw. He'd sit couched lifting each back leg slightly alternating and kneading, most creepy was he would stare at you as he got into his stride. OH used to say he was just kneading erm yes that would be why you'd see things you didn't want to when he jumped down! He'd try and do it to your arm too and let out a little shriek as he was about to try and er.. get aboard..

Out family cats have always been pretty well behaved ? apart from beheading rabbits and sharing them with the terriers in front of small children or leaving live rabbits in the bath for later. I swear my old ginger boy had OCD as he would obsessively clean everything and everyone in licking distance.

I lodged with a lady who had two delightful moggies who made making breakfast rather challenging as one would take the toast out of the toaster and take it outside and the other would try to eat DRY museli! I have never been so vigilant at 6am.

Anyone ever been to Southmead Hospital in Bristol?
There is a local cat called Kolo who essentially lives in A&E!! The hospital tried to evict him but all the staff ignored that and kept letting him back in. He has his own Facebook page ?
Yes he's quite the local celebrity! I think he lets himself in, and most of the people (patients) like having him in there.

I'm glad there were a few new pages to this thread since I last posted (and adopted two cats myself!) I appreciate house cats all the more for not bringing home dead or almost dead things ?

So far the worst thing was climbing the window screens at 11:30pm and being so loud about it I jumped up and spilled red wine on the sofa that had only arrived the last week. I take... 20% of the blame for that one but I get points back for choosing a dark grey sofa.

Not respecting that parents needs to WORK during WFH, or Your Food vs My Food is the biggest problem.

There was a beautiful but aloof Dumfries Tesco cat when I lived there. His FB following were distraught when he was seen being bundled into a car! ?

I have just about had it with our cat.

A couple of years ago I replaced the front door, which had a cat flap in it. I therefore had a cat flap put in for her in our French doors, which needed new glass to do this, at cost of a few hundred pounds to do.

Bloody cat has taken to ignoring the cat flap snd instead scratches at the window to be let in.

The window is right by where I work and this happens several times a day, often mid-meeting.

Now she has developed a habit of stealing my tea. If she comes in and I am not quick enough, any cup of tea that might be on my desk is hers. She just shoves her face in it .I have never known a cat drink tea, but she seems to have got herself a habit. I am sure it is not good for her and it definitely isn't good for me :D

Just as well she is cute!

There is a DIY store locally which has a resident cat who spends his days lounging all over the displays (he is actually owned by a local resident but said cat has given himself a supervisor's job at the store). He has his own fb page.

I have two semi feral kittens, they have gone from escaping the house through the toilet pipe boxing, and living in the house cavity wall, to being just about able to catch them in a room by feeding them inside. They come inside at night although I can not pick them up if I am stood up, they spend the night usually on the bed, where I am allowed to stroke them. From about six am, they start trying to get me up, by batting my face, running up and down my side, and biting my fingers. It's all a bits Simons Cat.

Tigga used to lick my eyes until I opened them ?. Success every time.

Love the belly up toy mouse beside the box?

They have about five of those mice, because they kept throwing them up in the air and losing them behind radiators, and then they would try and get them out in the middle of the night. So we bought a few so there would always be one somewhere for them to find. We keeping finding them in all sorts of strange places...
