If I could talk to the animals..............

but the kitten now has all her attention.

Tell me about it. I have often said to Louisa that when I depart this earth, I am coming back as a cat - as long as I can live with her!

Yet, she will come in the same way our other four cats do - jump up to a window ledge, (I have just measured it and it is 49 inches off the floor), and then in through a small window.

I wonder if it's that she doesn't like jumping down that distance any more?
Hence preferring to have a doorman to let her out.

More kitten nonsense











I have also been doing a lot of modelling during lockdown - not just kitten cuddling. Its TRUE!

Sometime white cats are deaf.

a bit like Huskies, though with HB it seems to be intermittent / selective  :'(

he can hear the fridge door open from upstairs, but doesn't hear you when you are stood next to him telling him NO.

and before some bright spark suggests it, I'm not humping a fridge round the fields just to get his attention

Isn't he big enough to carry the fridge himself?

I'd imagine, into first field, open fridge, clear fridge, dump fridge, back to hunting [with no success] mice.

A good point Chris - I don't like jumping down that distance at my age and I am not yet the equivalent of Bella's age! 

I'll get my (doorman's) hat and coat.

Our cat Bella does not appear to be deaf, but only has one eye and is partially sighted in the other. When she wants to go out, she, literally, howls until I go to her and say "Come on then". She will then follow me to whichever door I open. Yet, she will come in the same way our other four cats do - jump up to a window ledge, (I have just measured it and it is 49 inches off the floor), and then in through a small window. Not bad for a cat that is about 18 years old. She was our very first cat, so does get a bit of special attention.

My first cat (really my sister's) when I was growing up, carried on until we decided that she wasn't able to enjoy life any more and was put down aged 23!

Now with my own children, we have three cats, two are 10 years old and the other is 10 months. One of the older ones exits by the top-light in the living room window (about 36 inches above the ledge) and comes in via the cat-flap. The other is terminally lazy, can only just be bothered to use the (large) cat-flap and weight 8.5kg! The 10 month old has lately taken to going out and coming back in via the toplight (about 84" from the ground on the outside and with too small a cill to stop and prepare for a jump from!) He also keeps using the conservatory roof and the top-lights of the upstairs windows!

We had a white Tom, Topi, who ruled the roost for many years.  Being white and in the Australian sun was not a good combination, so about 5 years before he left us we had to have most of both his ears amputated.  Didn't seem to worry him much.

Of course, we all know that orange cats actually rule the world, well at least they themselves know it.  Our Ginger Megs Soufi totally dominates the house, and really thoroughly enjoys both the N and G scale railways.

Still he is beautiful. As is my wife.

Excellent save Bob, have you thought about taking up goalkeeping

[jpendle]

Based on your intelligence above, I'm wondering if a cat's bottom is actually a wormhole?

Our cat's definitely is 

But we get tablets from the vet for that.

Our Neko found a shady spot

My parents had a cat that would,  jump up the 4 ft to come in through the small downstairs toilet window... Only she would do it carrying a live rabbit!!!
