The Mock Turtle

I think they are all taken. They are so sweet

They are gorgeous!

My sister adopted a cat and then found out that she was pregnant. She's been abandoned in a lay-by by her previous owners, who presumably had some idea about her condition .

Kittens

Are they definitely all taken, Bramble. . Paul wants little stripey.

I shall ask when I speak to my neighbour.

You should probably pop round now, so that Bean* isn't kept wondering

*we aren't

Did I tell you about my lecturer's cat? S (lecturer) apologised for the meowing on a Zoom as her cat was about to give birth. N (cat) is a pedigree ragdoll and S had paid £££ for a stud. She emailed us a couple of days later to tell us that N had had her kittens...and they were the image of the black and white tom next door (I did ask if they needed homes but apparently even the moggies were in great demand.)

Oh no! How funny though.

Unknown . She wasn’t telling.

This is Scout. She Is SAT ON ME! SAT. ON. ME. RIGHT NOW.

She has never sat on anyone ever in the 11 years she's been with us. She won't even really sit near us if she can help it. She will sit at the end of my bed, but if I move, she will get off.

I wonder what she's thinking about it?

She's got off now, but that was a good ten minutes. I was astonished.

Aw. My old cat only started sitting on me when she got a bit older. They are funny things.

(I am not calling Scout old)

Oh, how lovely!

She looks furious that she's broken the habit of a lifetime.

Scout!

I think my lovely old Buster was well into double figures by the time he started to sit on our laps, and he never quite got it right, so it was very awkward but very welcome.

She's prone to attack if approached from the wrong angle, so I was keeping very still and doing minimal stroking. She used to sit on sb1's Chester and properly attack him if he tried to get his socks out of the top drawer.

Buster

An example of him not quite getting it right . I still miss that boy!
