Cat tip: If they refuse to use your cat beds, three things to try:

  1. Just move it, period. Sometimes that's all it takes.
  2. Move it to a place they're already sitting without a bed
  3. Leave dirty laundry that smells like you on it. The smell makes them feel safe

@SirTapTap Similarly, if they have a favourite toy, putting that in the bed may tempt and reassure them. Particularly for fabric-based toys (shout-out to Clasicats on Etsy, no affiliation), some cats can tend to cuddle them as a child cuddles a teddy bear.

Or you can just point at the bed & firmly tell the cat they are NOT allowed in it under any circumstances, as that's a sure fire reverse-psychology way to use their natural disobedience against them :)

@SirTapTap I think I remember that one. Magaggie's birthday?

A nutritious freshly-boxed Loaf Of Disappointment, served up for me by The Opalcat as she glares scornfully at me.

"OK, I'm waiting, what happens now?"

The Opalcat feels the service in this restaurant is far from exemplary.

@IzabelaKaramia She's just had her first first breakfast, so it'll soon be time for her second first breakfast and a snack. After a snooze she'll then be ready for her first second breakfast and more snacks, her second second breakfast and then maybe a little rest. That should see her through until it's time for her elevenses.

The Opalcat has made herself a cosy little nest among the bedding again.

Pepper, our muted tortie, is annoyed this morning. She's up on a high surface, staring down at us.. (It is my Saturday today, apologies for jumping ahead in the week a bit.)

@c0nsid3rate The anger and irritation thrown by torties at their humans can be fierce. Here's The Opalcat expressing her dismay and disappointment at the absence of food on her plate.

@anathema_device @dwasmkuk Next up: Something similar against Rees-Mogg fairly soon would be nice. However it'd have to be delivered in Latin by a town crier in a powdered wig and tricorne hat to have full impact.

@anathema_device @dwasmkuk Watergate followed Nixon to his grave and it'll forever be linked to his name, erasing any good deeds he might have accomplished. Boris is no longer a loveable bumbling oaf, a harmless clown with comedy hair; he will be forever linked with irresponsible partying and lying as the people lay dying. Something that similarly stains JR-M and his legacy evermore would be more satisfying to me. The right words can be sharper than the finest steel and can cut deeper.

The Opalcat did not appreciate that we have no working laser pointer toy for her, so she demanded that I order one.
