Our old one gets very upset if there's "a hole in the bowl":

In our house, that's called "Cat Empty"

Not ours but trying to move In, any door or window and it is asleep in house

Nothing unusual there for a cat, "Oh this looks like a nice house, I think I'll live here now", which is exactly how one of ours came to move in. Despite social media posts we never did find the previous owner.

All 4 of ours just turned up, no chips and did not find owners, been without a cat for 18 months.
Was great with the 4 we used to go for a walk every Day around the field all 5 of us

Barras has decided that the box left for recycling is not going into the bin.
Bowes is watching on with serious box envy.

Those could be my 2 cats, we have an identical looking male tuxedo and a female tabby!

Boxes...

Our old cat mainly sleeps outside on the inflatable hot tub. (Apparently you're supposed to empty these things over winter. I refuse to have anything to do with it tbh. It's SWMBO's to deal with. Consequently she leaves water in it over winter and then drains and cleans it just for the one day a year it gets used now. Hopefully it'll freeze up this year and break the pump).

I digress! It's under an overhang of the house and south facing so must act as a big heat soak. Old cat sleeps on it on an old lounger cushion. Of late SWMBO cut a cardboard box in half and he's been sleeping in there if it gets cold. Of course the new young one decided he liked it too so we had to put another box up there.

We used to do the same...upgraded it to a wood box that I made out of scrap and put an old blanket in it...he used to love it.

It worked well as he always wanted to be outdoors and it meant I could keep an eye on him.

My wife has a night away, so Rory cat decides to wake me (he is really bonded with my wife so usually she gets all his attention).

So I get him leaping over me turning on the bedside lamp and rattling everything he can get his paws on.

Butter wouldn't melt in house mouth.

Did someone say it's cold outside?

Mmm that's a tasty drumstick,

A very sad week this week as on Wednesday we had to say goodbye to our beautiful 19½ year-old Bramble. I feel absolutely gutted and it still hasn't really sunk in: after 19 years of living with her it doesn't seem quite real that she's gone. I keep expecting to see her and keep thinking I've caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye.

A few photos of her in memorium...

Enjoying my lap (she generally preferred Carolyn's, but occasionally she would deign to sit on me):

Checking out the new workbench in the garage:

Jackdaw-spotting:

Enjoying the warmth of a heated pad (she was getting old and we were getting soft!)

"Her" laptop case:

Her favourite spot in the garden:

Although the middle of the lawn was okay too:

Her paws didn't get much use as she generally preferred them to be up in the air:

We miss you so much Bramble.

Ours has apparently been taking lessons in classical mechanics whilst we weren't paying attention...

Over the last two weeks he's slowly developed a perfect understanding of the direction of pull needed to fire any elastic band or hair bobble off of any hook, door handle, or finial in the house.

This is unfortunate for my partner, as his favourite toy in the whole world is her hair bobbles.

Bit late, but I feel for you. We lost ours in February and still miss him like crazy, despite me not really being a cat person. The place still feels empty, but can't bring ourselves to get another.
