SHERLOCK I AM INVESTIGATING THE CASE OF THESE CAT TOYS

THIS ONE IS ON A STRING BUT NO ONE IS BOINGING IT FOR US
Mycroft, a fluffy pale ginger Maine Coon cat, is sitting in front of a bookcase with an enquiring expression on his face. Two cat toys, a purple felt alien and a cream and white ball on a string, are in front of him. His cream and white brother Sherlock is in the background looking down the stairs.

We had a look at pedigrees and worked out that they were distant cousins. She was a very loving, forbearing, perpetually befuddled cat.

yes, we have two humans, human 2 had the same thing but now just seems to be blowing his nose a lot

it is hard for my brother mycroft because human 2 is his preferred human but he does not like nose blowing

IT STARTS WITH THEM CLEARING THEIR OWN NOSES BUT IT WILL LEAD TO THEM TRYING TO CLEAN MINE

Our beloved late Beanie once stole a chocolate brownie wrapped in a paper napkin. As far as I could tell she had only had contact with the napkin, but I rang the vet anyway, and the receptionist said there was no need to bring her in 'as long as you're sure she's a cat and not a dog...'

it is #throwbackthursday here is a picture of us having a cuddle back in march
Sherlock and Mycroft, two fluffy pale ginger Maine Coon cats, are cuddled up together on a bed. Mycroft has been curled around Sherlock's back for some time but Sherlock has only just noticed. Mycroft has a paw over his nose which is understandable given the proximity of his face to Sherlock's bottom.
