Here's Tinkerbell, one of our two year old Maine Coons. Still growing and now around 9kg. Mrs NO is quite tall and pretty soon this cat will be too big for anyone's lap. Not that it will keep Tinker away mind.

Here's my contribution, Maximus the Bengal cat. Born on the 24 February and had him for approximately 2 months now. Beautiful little lad and my son loves him.

Shame he gets neutered in a week or so - don't think I'll be able to look him in the face again. Lol.

Impressive! We have door knobs which are a bigger challenge. Although it's only a matter of time.

It's more the sigh that the guy gives on the second opening. He knows he's defeated...

Thanks for that - they are a beautiful breed aren't they and he's just getting a bit of personality. Agreed with the wife I'll drop him off at the vets in the morning but she'll pick him up after he's he's been done and microchipped.

Hope he doesn't hold me responsible for losing his bits. Can't say I'd be overly impressed if I woke up and started singing an octave or two higher. Lol.

My moggie came back a different cat (loads more chilled out). My Bengal came back... you wouldn't have known it had happened.

You're going to have your hands full ; )

Chillax cat.

Unfortunately the latest news is he's probably got somewhere between the next couple of weeks and the next couple of months left.

You'd never know it by looking at him.

My Good Lady has just found a gastro-intestinal tract, apparently complete with supplementary organs, lying on the floor of our basement. The moggie comes in through his flap into the basement and it seems he couldn't be bothered to show us his prize as is his usual habit, but devoured it there and then - bar the offal, obviously! The slightly worrying thing is that this GI tract was quite large; much too big for a mere mouse. Living in the Chilterns we're plagued by glis-glis so perhaps he just did us a favour? Doesn't he know it is a protected species!

yikes How the juddering fk can the Edible Dormouse be a 'protected Species'???

It's non-native for a start, destructive, and was only introduced to this country because Lord 'Fancy-Pants' Rothschild was doing what all good peers were doing back then, and stuffing their estates with 'collectible' animals of all shapes and sizes, then letting them escape to infest the British countryside.

"Police! Police! There's a massive fking Lion in my garden, all teeth and claws, and it appears to be very hungry. Could you do me a favour and shoot it for me?"

"Sorry sir. No can do. It's a 'protected species', don't you know!"

It's not protected like bats, but you have to be licensed to catch it either by live trap or lethal spring trap. The latter must comply with an 'approved' design. If you catch a live one you are not allowed to release it but must pass it to a licensed operator to humanely deal with. My cat is not licensed to the best of my knowledge! There's hundreds of thousands of the little sods in the Chilterns, many of which seem to be living in the roof of my garden 'shed' which was once a stable unit.

Darwins theory applies.
You have a resident predator and they still live in your shed... Natural causes officer.

Good idea but the cat is lazy and won't put much effort in - the glis glis live up in the roof. It did occur to me that, as an absent minded old git, I just might forget to stop the motor on my old petrol lawn mower one day and shut the shed with it still running...

and cope with the stink when the bodies end up rotting, not to mention the flies...

Yes, a possible problem, but if they gnaw through the power cables there'll be a worse stink. Bodies mummify after a while anyway and it is at the bottom of the garden.

Recently acquired Maximus Gigantipus, unwanted carpet scrumping adorable Rag Doll.

He had been a stud cat, then a house cat. Within a couple of weeks with us he had mastered the cat flap, become chums with our other boy Merlin, learned to do his business outside and is so loving, collapsing everywhere, as these cats do. (Still scrumps the carpet though so, have now got him a 4'post)









Oh and new mate Merlin
