Max better enjoy the run, given the sacrifices I have made! A minor flesh wound, he says, more info in the medical thread.

"medical thread" ? I can not find that. Is it restricted to ancient members?

Seen! And my eyes did water just a tad. I recognize that this wound was incurred through love of a cat. Enough said.

Our cat Louis just keeps growing. Not just in size, but in reign.

Having only daughters (I do not mean that in any negative - just highlighting how I am outnumbered), this new Lord is truly commandeering everything. From Love to food. I expect that is just what cats do. He has pushed himself to the top.

On "Father's Day" my youngest daughter gleefully told me that Louis had made me a "present'. It took me mere milliseconds to understand that yet again I should clear his cat litter...

But I cannot help but love the bugger. Now we refer to him as "Mr Vuitton".

He is so much more beautiful than those handbags.....

He is soooo beautiful. I love seeing his photos and reading of his exploits.

I've returned to the office on Mondays and Tuesdays. Felicity has shown her thoughts on this arrangement this morning.

 

[Cossie]

He has been out of sorts today, very subdued and not eating much, despite various options and I have cleaned up 4 lots of vomit inside and 3 out in the run. Boss, who is coveniently down the coast thinks he may be constipated. Off to the vet tomorrow, sigh.

This was him this morning before issues, patiently waiting for me to move my toes under the cover so he can pounce on them. Love him to bits!

So did Max visit the vet? and if so what was the outcome?

 

[Cossie]

He is back to his normal self, doesn't seem to be constipated, a watch and wait situation, as much as I don't want to admit it, I think he is missing the boss.

Update on the run. It will have a sliding screen door at the front. We will put some shrubs in big pots there and take the wire out going across the back, so he can access it. Should have been finished by now. The second last photo you may be able to see where the dastardly screw slipped and tried to take my hand off.

The lovely Sabi (from post #1919) likes to get attention by flushing the toilet. Daughter was on Skype conference during the week and said she was a tad embarrassed by the almost constant flushing by Madam Cat.

That is one stunning cat @Cossie.
Question - average lifespans of cats?

15 years on average according to the Adelaide Animal Hospital. However, I read somewhere authoritative (perhaps RSPCA, can't remember) that cats kept indoors live longer than those allowed to roam.

Kate could choose beds, chairs, sofas...but her favorite daytime resting spot is the printer (nighttime place is on a bed, of course). We've had her for 14 years since she appeared, a pregnant 1 year old, on our back verandah. Her 3 kittens are all in good homes.

I have met him and he is indeed a very special cat. Such a character as well as the gorgeous looks. And he has the Cossie's wrapped right round his paw.
