Woo yay for the new cat!
New cat in the household ... Mia. Beautiful 1yr old white shorthair, friendly and likes a fuss.

Can I get a WOO YAY?

Cat-related witticisms expected really. What's your favourite cat story / joke?

YES!
new cats are ace.
Especially when they're all lovely and haven't mastered the art of terrorism, like my 6-year-old cat. He is like Cato Fong.

A story you say?
A little old lady had taken her car in the garage because there was a weird smell that she couldn't find the source of.

The mechanics jacked the car up to find the shredded remains of a cat wrapped around the axle. Smelt quite bad apparently.

True story.

Never underestimate the impact
that having a cat will have upon your life.
They are selfish fuckers, but one little affectionate nudge, or some other scrap of affection, and you will be putty in her paws.

So far my cat has caused me:
stained carpets
strained friendships
strained relationships
shit in the bath
scars on my arms and legs
a broken toe
a fall down the stairs
my friend's fall down the stairs
lost sleep
missed appointments
lateness for work
my mum to call me Susan Boyle

I still love him.

I have a 1 year old and
a 15 week old.
The baby likes to stick her claws into my bare feet while I'm sleeping.....this causes her to hit the wall as my reflexes automatically kick in. And she still comes back for more.
The 1 year old is a little softy and loves nothing more than snuggling up with mummy....and twatting the fuck out of the baby.
Their names are Stealth & Bomber!

Currently, my cat is asleep on a cushion
head buried in his arms, curled up, happy.

I love him to bits. He's named for the cat in this book:

Small pic for those on phones.
Best book EVER.
