Techie. Dancer. Foodie. Catted.
I have a hexagon thing on a stand which was probably cheaply mass produced, but it works perfectly. (I have the same problem.)

I had an absolute sweetheart of a cat who lived under a bed for her first 3 months with us. She thought her name was Chicken-cat because I called her a little scared chicken so many times.
Turned into the sassiest happiest love of a cuddly Nana-cat who adored EVERYONE. It took time. I miss her.

I swapped the cat blankets out on the chairs today (laundry purposes) and I knew Madame Potato loved this blanket but I did not realise she LOVED this blanket. The purr was really quite extravagantly loud as she discovered the blanket and got up and kneaded herself off to a very happy purry sleeps.

My orange lad is also Mango!!

This is Mango. He is the orangest of boys, yells his way through his life, likes treats and cuddles and sleeping on my head or rib cage when it's bedtime. He is big and dumb and silly and loud and we love him very much.

This was Mango while recovering from a facial abscess. "Fuck you I'm really mad but also I want a cuddle on your lap."
(I kept washing his abscess and giving him antibiotics and metacam. ANGRY SAD ORAMGE BOI.)

Mamas wishes to make clear she is NOT on the table she is on the CHAIR and being at table height is not HER INTENT thank YOU

I have an ex backyard mama who put on a full kilogram in her first year with us. She approached life without kittens as an opportunity to sleep, get fat, and generally aspire to potato-hood.
(We're working on the chonky now, but she's a very happy round potato.)

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #295,645!

(Look, I had to be a sheep.)

Mine was The Corrs. It might have been my money but Mum had to approve it!!

Fastforward four years and my heart-cat Tigra passed away at 14 (cancer). Mango was HEARTBROKEN. I went to rescues, described my big orange galumph and his solo sadness, and they recommended Bonnie.
Five days after she came home she bust out of isolation, straight to Mango. Now they're best buds. 💛

I was at the pet store and a six mo ginger HURLED himself bodily at the glass of the SPCA adoptees pen. He was still under vet care and I rung the store daily (with their permission) until the vet released him for adoption. An hour later he came home.

This evening I piled the heated blanket on the footstool, turned it off and went to do something. Bonnie was delighted.

Bonnie-pop is ready for dinner too.

My Mango screams basically every time he breathes. I think it's an alarm that he wants to share, going off because his skull is otherwise entirely empty.

We love him, except at night when he's wandering around yelling because he got out of bed for a snack and forgot where we are.

Bonnie has finally worked out laps, in her second winter with us.
May 10, 2024 at 7:04 AM
This is the most cheerful I've managed to capture in her year with us. She was purring away on the blanket pile, and deeply offended that I dared to exist in her ladyship's presence.

Okay. So. We know the rats are dead and gone, because now we have mice.
Ironically, the mouse I found in the cupboard under the sink (thanks to lady Bonnie trying to get in it)...

... had broken into the packet of rat and mouse bait for a snack. So I don't think we will have long term issues.

I am irresistibly reminded of HÖNKHALT from the other place.

I have only once had a cat adoption go differently in this regard. Bonnie declared on day five that she was Done being isolated, broke out of the spare room, marched into the bedroom and settled down beside Mango for a nap. They have been besties ever since.

I have the Great Northern Derpling and Potato Royale models.

In defense of the Derpling, it's not his fault, he's just orange.

The Potato is no longer a backyard stray mama and is devoting her indoor energies to getting fat.
