@Colin@thepoliticalcat I swear I keep hearing owls but never seen one
I live opposite a big park and I'm informed that deer visit there. I saw a heron once too
Freedom! I took advantage of the preferred human and box-stealing man going to a human catnip place to escape! I was in too much pain to shout at them on their return. My leg really hurts :ablobcatcry: #CatsOfMastodon#Cat#Fedicat
@thepoliticalcat I am quite sleepy, so have decided to hug the preferred human. She's been dancing, so will inevitably feel as bad as my paw quite soon.
In order to improve my posts, the humans have bought me some pencils. I'm not sure what to do with them yet, but I'm working on it. #CatsOfMastodon#WriterChat#Fedicat#Cat
@Colin But you are so much more the very special one that you are groomed in the way all that are royal are tended and groomed. PH was merely showing you the dedication and respect of your high station. I hope you have forgiven her. Besides, I think she wanted to show Eric he wasn’t the only special one. You know he was jealous that you were getting groomed, right?
@Catawu I had seeds! She removed the seeds, which was horrific, but I was pleased when they were gone. However, she then attacked me with the flea comb because it's Spring.
A very relaxing #Caturday. I briefly interrupted my nap to go downstairs to sing along to the humans playing the piano. However, there was an unapproved, non-household human there, so I felt a bit shy. I stared at him for a while to establish that he was OK. I'm now back to doing what I do best. #CatsOfMastodon
I went out to scream at the humans for abandoning me. I first screamed at them in the street, but insisted on coming back in through the back to annoy them. #CatsOfMastodon#Caturday#Cat
@thepoliticalcat There was a quiet one at the beginning, but the humans didn't get most of it because they were trying to get me to go inside through the front door portal, but I took a while sitting there to decide that the back was a better way. 😀
@thepoliticalcat no! When the PH worked in high schools, she had a rule: imagine you have a hula hoop around you and I have a hula hoop around me. If the hula hoops cross, you are too close.
I think this works for cats as well as humans. He is too close.
@thepoliticalcat I spent most of the day defending my box from an Eric incursion. I did manage to get a good sleep in it eventually when he went to sleep on MY scratcher.
I went to the wrong portal. The noise is a man bringing a wheelchair in the front door while I am trapped, shouting at the back. I couldn't be bothered to shout at the humans in the street, I'm tired. #CatsOfMastodon
@thepoliticalcat The man and the human went out to the human catnip place for weeks, resulting in me being left alone for months without food. The tall one came home from college and let me out, but then she fell asleep and did not let me in, hence the lasers.
There is an extra human sleeping in the living room! No one did a cat consultation or applied for a permit. Why wasn't I informed?
For once, Eric is as upset as I am, so we teamed up to gallop noisily up and down the stairs, followed by a duet of wailing near the bed that has appeared.
The preferred human is ill: she has finally succumbed to Covid19 because she abandoned me by leaving the house the other day. I did tell her that abandoning me was a terrible idea, but she didn't listen.
I am concerned she will pop joints out with all the coughing, but I am also upset by all the coughing, so I am staring at her, while also keeping my distance.
Did I mention the unacceptable levels of coughing?
Disaster! I went outside to shout at the humans when they came home last night, but I was so busy running around and shouting that I got locked out in the rain all night.
This morning, I was throwing myself at the back door, thinking I'd been abandoned. I was damp and starving!
I'm now having a sleep to recover from the trauma after having eaten my breakfast. #CatsOfMastodon#Cat
I have a complaint. It has come to my attention that yesterday, 29th January, was International Colin Day. Not one person congratulated me. I was not given any treats or special food. There were no gifts left behind the wall in the front yard and Eric was just as annoying as always.
Incidentally, it was also national Curmudgeon Day, so I should have been doubly rewarded, yet I got nothing.
@thepoliticalcat The preferred human only realised when she saw a post from her local newspaper celebrating it. It turns out that there are a lot of animals called Colin in Greater Manchester.
