In truth, they see us as a heated cushion !

SWMBO would do her crust if I posted pictures of her on the net, I hope you have permission.

No, but if I want a divorce I just need to send a link

That's very cute. Had one did similar. Was great until he got a bit older. We'd both nod off and he'd drool into that depression where your collar bones meet.

depression where your collar bones meet

Properly called the Plender Gap or Suprasternal Notch.

We had a little tom cat who cuddled like that but if you stopped stroking him he would head butt your chin.

Law of Cat Inertia - A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force - such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse.

Law of Cat Motion - A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction.

Law of Cat Magnetism - All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.

Law of Cat Thermodynamics - Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat.

Law of Cat Stretching - A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.

Law of Cat Sleeping - All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as uncomfortable for the people involved, and as comfortable as possible for the cat.

Law of Refrigerator Observation - If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat.

Anyone any experience of these smart, microchip cat flaps? Have a double glazed back door here, top and bottom panel. Currently paterned glass, we're going to replace top and bottom panels with clear glass and have a cat flap fitted in the bottom DG unit. From what I've read the glazing firm form a circular hole and you get a "round to square" adaptor plate like this:

Whats a good cat flap make for a large cat?

We had one...bottom panel was replaced with a non glass panel...then a hole was cut.

They work pretty well...really funny watching our cat getting chased into the house...there's a click as the flap swings...then a thud as the second cat hits the now locked flap .

But they do adapt...if they're quick enough they can follow your cat in...but it's rare.

Yep, I'd happily replace the bottom bit with a upvc ply/MDF cored panel but SWMBO wants glass.

Ours are a round hole in double glazing on 2 doors.
The locals only took a day or so to work out the secret of following ours in was to follow closely.
Then one cat decided to remove the flap complete, so we returned to standard units and made a wood insert to put in at night.
Our cats were indoors at night.
Looking for another since Tarmac passed away.

Or they hit it so hard and often they eventually break it, like ours. Again in a none glass panel

Here’s a story no-one ever believes, but it is true.

It was about 1990, and we had a young black cat called Tiddles which somehow got shut into one of the upper kitchen cupboards.

I realised this upon hearing some determined scrabbling coming from the area, but couldn’t tell exactly where, so carried on listening. Eventually, the scrabbling turned to clinking as he made his way onto the top shelf where the glasses were kept. The clinking gave way to silence, then a definite ‘piddling’ sound.

I opened the door just as my Dad came in, to see the cat had backed up to a martini glass, and was weeing into it. Dad and I wisely stayed very still, knowing that any sudden moves could get us golden showered. Tiddles fixed us with a glare as he finished his pee with the level exactly at the brim of the glass, then hopped down and sauntered out.

You can imagine the rest - a Dad and 9 year-old trying to extract a brimmed piddle glass from an upper shelf, failing to prevent spills, then applying kitchen roll to all the food items, worktop and floor below, and hoping that no-one would ever notice.

We used to have a rather tubby Ginger tabby cat,
Who was the spit of Garfield,
except she was female

We went into the kitchen.
Could hear a noise in one of the wall cupboards,
Opened the sliding cupboard door to find her stood onto of the packet of lasagne, looking shifty.

Never did find out how on earth she got in there.

Bloody animals. £260 for two 2G new door panels then +£100 for a large microchip cat flap and adapter to go in the glass. At least the glazier is going to fit the cat flap before I pick up the panels.
