Thread: Growth spurt!

He is looking so good, and I can't believe the size of him now - it's funny to see the change in the cats on the forum - you sort of get used to seeing your own one change! The boys are about the same age as Psycho so I thought I'd look at the original kitten pictures and she's not even the same colour anymore! Mind you, at least her ears now nearly fit her head...

Thanks for posting, they're great pics. You'll be back before you know it and boy, will those lads make a fuss of you when you get home.

Thanks everyone, got back late last night. Monty and our pensioner Barney were snuggled up together in the cat bed and Monty gave me a good sniff and then immediately stretched out his paws up my leg which is his way of saying 'Pick me up!' So I did and I got a good licking. Larry was a bit cooler, and said 'all right, so you're back, but where have you been?'

Antonia, how about that, the same kitchen tap! Spooky!! And same washing machine as Jackie!!

We've had the cat tiles nearly 10 years, since we renovated the house. We had 3 cats then, so we ordered 3 hand-painted cat tiles, one for each of the cats. We asked for a tabby and white (Barney, who is still going strong), and a black and white (that was Fred, RIP, our first ever cat, we got him when we were students in digs, he died in 2003), and finally we asked for a black Persian, which was Bob (RIP earlier this year). Unfortunately we got a black Siamese tile instead of black Persian, but I just called it 'Future cat'. And funnily enough I saw the most incredible solid black oriental shorthair at a cat show, and I thought, that's it, that's our Future Cat! Maybe one day...

Hi Louisa, you must be glad to be back home with the lads. I hope things went well in Ireland.

I don't really know if the tap-thing is spooky... it might be that these taps are common in the UK.
A previous owner of our house replaced all the modern taps with these old-style ones. And for some reason or other they fitted them so that hot and cold are exchanged. Very confusing.

The cat tiles are nice. I might have some made too whenever we get round to renovating the kitchen.
