Can't recall if I mentioned on here but the kitten, well 6 month old cat here continues to "drown" things.
We keep a big Sports Direct mug at the top of the stairs full of water. Changed daily, both cats use it for drinking. There's another in the kitchen but we sometimes have to separate the cats.
We noticed the new kitten would dip his paw in the mug and lick the water off his paw (he drinks normally too).
This water fascination has progressed. If we can't find his toys; fluffy squirrel, doughnut, etc he's likely dropped it in the mug of water.

I need to make a cat kennel for the older one. The new young one keeps trying to hump/fight him if he comes in. Thinking something insulated and raised.
He tends to sleep atop the hot tub in all weathers. I imagine being black that stays reasonably warm even though it's not being heated at the moment.
Any design ideas?

A quick temporary cat kennel can be made with two cardboard grocery boxes about the same size.
One open side up, one open side to the side, nested into each other so the cat has a draught free container that it can easily jump out off.
Put some sort of old blanket or fleecy inside to make a warm pad.
You can put plastic bag/sheet to protect it from rain if needed.

12 months ago today 6 month old Rory brought a crow in through the cat flap, today I was working from home and saw something very quick run past my my door through our hall getting chased by Rory. I jumped out of a Teams video call and ran through to shut all the doors and trap the 6" long rat in the hall, then got leather gloves on to catch it, what a job they are quick.
Eventually rat was removed and a breathless me returned to my meeting!
Rory then had a wee rest....

Apologies, but 1895 was a long time ago, and my memory may have slipped.^ I think I beat you to this Moggy in post 1895

Sadly, the ‘auld yin’ otherwise known as Toby, passed away this morning, at the age of 21 years old.
He’s been on and off the ‘going to the vet’ list for about a year now, but always managed to do a body swerve. The last time was just a few weeks ago, when my other cat brought in a live mouse to play with. It ran past Toby, who caught it (well, it ran into his mouth), and proudly marched meowing around the house with it in his mouth.
Sadly in the last couple of days I think he was starting to have mini strokes, and popped his clogs, wrapped in a blanket in my arms this morning. He’ll be buried beside the others, in the corner of the garden.
Here he is last April soaking up the ‘rays’.

21 is a good age for a cat.
Our 1.5 year old,Rory has been really ill fighting an infection since he brought a rat in. He is still on antibiotics though well on the mend now, the vet bill is over £1000 and he has large areas of fur shaved off.
19 year old Mhairi, loves her heat pad as it gets colder.
