I love the idea of a cat planting himself :)) Mum and dad's cat loves the borders on hot days and spends most of the time asleep under the raspberries.

I hadn't realised their markings were so different to each other either. They totally complement each other though.

I really want to hug my Georgie and he keeps rolling around at my feet for a belly rub but I'm trying not to touch him too much.

Their mum/mums must have been some kind of tabby, but that’s all I know (because boy cats get their base colour from their mum). We don’t know if they’re half brothers, father & son, or what, but Quee totally worships Ahab, and Ahab pretends not to love Quee but he does :)).

Poor little George. I hope he’s ok. I totally understand not wanting to get too close :cry:.

I didn't know that about the base colour. It's so lovely the way they snuggle together.

My house must be fully virally loaded the amount of coughing and sneezing I've done so steering clear is probably futile but he seems ok so far.

Daisy is still getting to grips with the idea that most stiles have a special ground level bit for dogs.

They are very different. Photos don’t show off how amazing Ahab looks in real life. He’s a classic ticked tabby/agouti coat (like an Abyssinian but obviously not a full one), and he shimmers. Also his tail is ringed like a lemur :love:.
I'm totally in love with Quee and Ahab. And I never knew what a ticked tabby was. I realise, now, that that is exactly what Tiggy is. :lol: Foggy miight be one too, but his stripes are so close to his overall grey colour, you can only see them in a certain light. He has 'ripples' on his legs and tail.

When I had Covid, I was so worried and kept googling “can dogs get Covid” :cry:

Your cats are just beautiful, Ella!

Happy (belated) birthday!

T and his girlfriend are taking care of their friend's dog (Storm!) for a few days. They've fallen in love with her.

George stole a catnip banana from INSIDE my neighbour’s house and brought it home. It had a hole so I discovered him completely covered in catnip and completely off his face.
