I have this mental picture of Jonkins as a big, grey tabby. Am I correct?

msolga - you have the prescience award, a very big, grey tabby who used to turn up and wonder what the fuss was about Laughing

Oh, so much to read! We were without internet connection for two weeks!

Nisse and Mysan liked it because BigDice was reading a lot and the bed is so much more comfortable than the computer, desk and chair... :-)

Vivien,

A cat is a cat. If there's a cat and a bird, the cat will go after the bird. It's in their nature. Sorry to hear you were so angry. But I gotta tell ya that belling the cat makes me a bit upset. BTW, I love birds and would probably be as angry as you were if the monster cat went after one. On the other hand, I get angry when he doesn't go after mice. Well, he goes after them, but he lacks follow-through.

Yes, I'm back and being difficult on my first post out of the box.

Mikey is recovering from surgery--a malignant growth on his leg was removed. And he's now got a thyroid condition. I love the big, nippy, nasty lug. I'm worried about him.

oh it's lovely to see you back even if I am getting told off! Very Happy

Yes, I know it's their nature but Paddy has killed 2 pigeons, 3 sparrows. 2 blackbirds and a bird with pretty yellow bars on it's wings in the last approximately 3 weeks - that rate of slaughter just can't go on - the rare catch and I wouldn't have put a collar and bell on because I really don't like to. Then Rosie started - and this poor bird suffered such a lingering death as she kept finding it and playing with it more - really upsetting and we couldn't find it, It was that lingering death and not being able to stop it that upset me so much.

No Msolga we haven't found the body either Crying or Very sad

- a gruesome discovery awaits us Evil or Very Mad

Poor Mikey, I hope he's soon back to normal. You must have been very worried.

Anyway it's lovely to see you Very Happy

Neko that's a gorgeous photo of blissfulness, beautiful cat.

Olga, Mikey doesn't seem himself, but I'm not myself, so it's hard to know whether it's the monster or me. His bad behavior has returned, though. I didn't get bitten for a long stretch. Was he being sensitive to my illness? Nah. I probably just didn't smell the same.

Vivien, Such carnage from two such gorgeous creatures. Glad you're not angry with me. I confess I don't know what I'd do if Mikey were an outdoor cat and was decimating the neighborhood.

Glad to be back.

oh dear I didn't mean quite that back to normal!

He probably did realise you were unwell - Timmy (previous 'my'cat) and Rosie know if I'm not well and are more cuddly and gentle. Timmy would always cuddle up to me and stay with me if I wasn't well.

Paddy being a teenage lad is far too busy with his own affairs!

I knew it! But at least, despite all the adoration, he remained humble. He handled the situation with dignity! Razz

Beautiful, Vivien! Very Happy

And so is the thoroughly fetching shot of Rosie!
You grow stunning cats, I must say!
My sympathy regarding the current distress they're causing you & the local bird population.

I remember he went into hiding in the cupboards while you were in hospital, Roberta. Yeah, of course he missed you! I wish life would return to a bit more "normality", Roberta. <sigh>

In addition to her morning Groom with Facial (face,eyes,and ears with warm fresh facecloth) Nekochan lives for a knuckle massage behind the ears -- in the photo she's doing the massaging motion, and yes, that's my hand, Ms. O.

Nekochan at her hunting lodge on her estate.

This pic was shot from a kneeling position. From a standing position she's completely hidden from view. It's only one of numerous places to play hide-and-seek when it's time to go indoors.

A nearby chipmunk is teasing her with taunting squeaks.

What a life neko chan has on her very own estate! Lucky, lucky critter! Very Happy

Vivien, those photos are absolutely gorgeous!

Roberta, I'm so happy to see you back here, I've been worried about you!

Vivien, Normal is normal. With Mikey, normal includes biting. He's such a charmer.

Misti, Thanks for the welcome. I was worried about me too.

Such a glorious bunch of felines we have here. I'm happy to be seeing photos. Puts and name to a face.

msolga, they are big! Especially Nisse... Right now, he is lying on the window sill in the sun. What a life!

I will have to give it a try and post pictures soon. Or at least put some new pictures in my online album and give you the link. They are two of the most beautiful cats - of course!

But first I will go on a one week vacation - leaving in about two hours. I will miss all three - BigDice, Nisse and Mysan!

neko nomad, Nekochan gets a facial every day?! Wow! That cat seems to be even more spoiled than ours. Keep the good work up! :-)

Enjoy your holiday break, urs! Very Happy

And I look forward to photographs of these jumbo critters sometime after your return!

When done regularly, like, at the same time as doing my own grooming in the morning, attending to Nekochan just seems like the normal thing to do. Maybe twice a week or so - not quite daily.
She greets me in the bathroom when ahe feels the need for it, and occasionally gets a manicure and pedicure right on the vanity, which usually requires firm coaxing.

Nekochan's the exemplary civilized feline companion and my ray of sunshine in the morning.
I'm the lucky one.

such characters all of them Very Happy

more photos of all would be nice?

ours seem to be getting used to the collars and though they don't like them they aren't freaked out anymore.

The local birdlife has been much safer Very Happy

Today was warm and Rosie dozed the day away on the doorstep in the sun. Paddy was off exploring as he'd been kept in last night. Paddy is now off for a walk with himself, he loves it, bouncing along ahead and looking back to make sure he's being followed.
