This is cpour*
She is the hamlet cat who has now adopted us and decided she lives with us.
She has allowed our 3 dogs to remain in the house, however she is now the only one allowed to sleep in this particular dog bed!
The collie loves her as she now has something other than chickens to try to herd around the house, the JRT and the spaniel have just accepted her as another member of the pack.
Scarily she is also rather pregnant!!!
Totally un-fazed by the dogs and will follow us when we take them for a walk.
It's nice to have a cat in the house again as we had to leave Sam, our 17 year old cat back in the UK where he now lives with friends as our vet wasn't happy giving him an anti rabies jab for his passport to move to France due to his various ailments.

  • apologies for the name, it stuck during a wine drinking session with our Dutch pals, we couldn't think of a name and someone said " Think of a name starting with C pour chat........"

I think it is how you took the photo in the first place. I have noticed if I try and post portrait photos taken on my phone they post upside down, landscape ones seem fine!!

No expert mind. Just my own observations. I have an Android phone.

After having a fight(not a fighter just picked on), retreats to the trusty maple, no other cats can climb.

Well it finally happened.

Our youngest one arrived in the living room casually with a live baby bunny in her mouth. Proud as punch.

Imagine my surprise as i chased it round the house closely followed by 2 asshole cats that must have been thinking 'Out of my way amateur human'

I've been making a batch of handmade butter each week, as soon as the churner comes out Lebowski becomes VERY vocal. It's worse than catnip. It's almost as if he can smell it through the sealed glass! He knows.

Can someone recommend a wet food that will likely keep kitty feeling fuller for longer, that I won't have to sell a kidney to be able to afford?

Dexter is still constantly crying for food, his appetite is seemingly insatiable. He is on Gourmet Perle at present (3 a day in addition to a generous helping of James Welbeloved dry food) but it doesn't seem to be filling him up.

Perhaps he's just a complete glutton but I wonder if it's worth trying a more premium food in the hope that it is more substantial.

He was a stray?

He's not used to when his next meal will be yet frown

Mix some Whiskers in with the Gourmet to make it go further?

Just had to take my Priya to the emergency vet - she wasn't lifting her tail, couldn't sit down and her tail looked longer than usual.

Being kept in overnight with fluids to make sure she's able to pee, and then x-rays tomorrow to see if there's anything broken.

Just doing her inverted Superman impression...

Because the photo uploader doesn't take any notice of the EXIF orientation tagging.

Our lot seem to love carny (animonda) - not cheap but not stupidly priced either

They are easy to catch compared to mice. In our house it's a competition between me and the dog. The dog kills it with a single bite - which is perhaps kinder anyway.

Yeah he's definitely improving, he's started to leave a little of his food on a rare occasion to come back to, so he's learning that he doesn't have to fight over it with anyone anymore smile

We're trying to be disciplined and get him used to his set feeding times smile

He's a large cat anyway - very strong/muscular, nearly 6kg so I don't think it's unusual that he has a good appetite!
