Thought we should have a cat thread after seeing some discussion about felines in another thread. Here’s ours…

Willow, AKA: Lady Wi Wi

They are brother and sister, 9 months old and we adopted them from the RSPCA in October, the kids named them. I had cats growing up but we have not had pets since having the kids. I can safely say they are now firmly part of the family and the kids are obsessed with them.

Here’s our oldiewonk Toppy. She’s 17 and almost totally deaf but she can hear a treat bag being opened from a mile away 🤣

This is the maddest cat I’ve ever known. Cannoli. He’s four and a half. He’s totally brilliant.

‘Kitty’ Adopted us as a Kitten 16 years ago, we think abandoned on the moor, still petrified of bin bags, deaf, incontinent, still fierce as f.  
Love her to bits.

Basil, a real Intelligent Hoodlum, and mad brothas know his name.  
Has a lopsided grin and a titanium left leg after a tussle with a car.

Jasper and Marceline (Marcy). Brother and sister. Pretty much kittens in the photo, they’re both approaching 9 now. Got them when the kids were little, can’t imagine our family without them.

my kid is obsessed with cats and would looooove for us to get one.

but, the kid has cat allergies, we have a dog that would gladly eat a cat given the chance, and i hate cat boxes and the smell of cat pee. and if a cat scratched up the spines of my records (like i’ve seen happen way too many times) i would lose my goddamn mind.

still, i consider getting one now and again, and just risking the situations. i know my dog would warm up to one eventually.

your cats look great!

I got 2 decent pics of ours today. They’re definitely getting friendlier, Willow spent the first month in a corner behind a plant pot!

This is Cilla (Cilla Black cat).  
We got her from a local charity four years ago (she’d been found abandoned on the street as a kitten), and she now basically runs the house.

I got a real soft spot for older cats, that burned through 8 lives and still going energy

Milo and Tina. Russian Blue half-sibs, the one-eyed thing is a coincidence: Milo lost one as a kitten; one of Tina’s wasn’t fully formed when she was born - but they are both crack mousers (particularly Tina!)
