(With apologies to Smurfchops):
Hi, Seekerz.
I've got loads of pics of the moggies that I keep meaning to put online but I can't find the notepad that I wrote down my password for the picture website I was using! (It's on my list for sorting out in the near future!).
Patches (mother cat) is gradually coming to terms with having to live alongside her kids. After the 'loving' phase she went to the 'rejection' phase, growling and running away as soon as she saw any of them, so she lived outside for much of the time. She's now starting to come back in more often and she'll sleep alongside me on my bed if there aren't any of her kids around to start with. (It's OK if they come onto the bed later, when she's already asleep).
Tablo (the tiny little tabby girl cat, with ginger bits) should have been 'done' at the vets by now but she's so small that I've put it off by a few weeks. (The staff at the vet's surgery didn't seem concerned when I mentioned it). She's probably the noisiest cat in the world, with ability to miaow and purr at the same time as she rubs against my legs. As I've been typing this she's been on my desk, destroying my pin board by using it as a scratching post. A few hours ago she was proudly showing off her latest kill from hunting, but I'm not sure that butterflies really count, do they?
Moonbeam (the tabby and white boy) likes to make it clear that my lap is his personal property (and he's usually the first one to join me on my bed). He often pretends to be stand-offish and independent but he always knows where it's warm!
Biscuit (the ginger and white boy, who usually gets cally 'Bicky') is the aggressive hunter. If a day goes by without him delivering a mouse or bird to me it's very unusual! However he's a big softy at heart and he loves to cuddle up alongside me in bed.
Chequers (the black and white boy) is MASSIVE! (3.8kg at 6 months and growing daily). He's also the biggest, daftest, softest cat you could ever meet. He loves fuss (and sleeping on my chest when I'm in bed) and everything about him is totally different to any other cat in the world (including his tail, which has got a kink in it!).
