One fell out and when we took him to be checked the vets said the root needed removing and others were also bad. It's called feline tooth resorption and the vet suggested it might be due to him having had not enough nutrients when he was stray.

Alas not, it's supposed to sit under his tongue to allow it to be absorbed by the mucous membranes. No vet who has prescribed this has ever told me how I'm supposed to explain that to him though so I assume he swallows it anyway 😭

I was fully up for coming back to re-watch episode two but this is also excellent 😂 One of the interesting things about watching in a group was seeing the contrast between people who have watched multiple times and could probably quote along for whole episodes and people watching for the first time

Three of them, one all black, this one with white on his or her face and one that's mostly white with some black markings

They're actually pretty consistently using the litter tray, the puppy pads are in case they didn't and the towel is to have something comfy to snuggle on if they want.

They're both much better than they used to be but still do sometimes claim that 5am is breakfast time, however as I am the usual breakfast provider it's normally me they attempt to wake to provide it.

Yup. Paul has painted all three of the kitties that claim ownership of this house.

That is Max, AKA #notmycat who is indeed not our cat, he has a lovely family of his own but likes to pop round and visit (more so in the days when there were no resident cats). We think his presence was what originally encouraged Napoleon to view the area as potentially safe when he arrived.

The fluffy blanket is his earliest friend. When he was trapped and imprisoned in the strange inside place where everything was weird the fluffy blanket was the first thing he really liked snuggling up to. He learned to snuggle his humans by snuggling their legs covered in the blanket ❤️

Impossible to understand the logic, motivations and fleeting whims of the tortie! ❤️

Us too - I tell them both regularly how lucky we are that they came to find us ❤️

Well quite. The servants are also sometimes not as punctual with meal service as he would like, and often very unresponsive to complaints about the above, but he has to acknowledge that the food is tasty and they have the opposable thumbs needed to open the tins...

Mainly black cat with a white patch on his nether regions and two white toes, totally relaxed with all four feet in the air on a blue patterned duvet

Despite regular betrayals for flea treatment and vet visits it still absolutely melts my heart that overall this cautious, wary and suspicious soul decided that @garius.bsky.social and I can (mostly) be trusted ❤️

The wedding was 2008 but maybe there was more than one supplier of A team vans for hire at the time!

Sounds like a great and memorable trip!

Was he called Stephen? (I still have the emails from the booking in a old account - the company was called TVcarhire.com which suggests other options were available but I can't remember what they were)

Yes, also putting her head under then being surprised that she has got wet...

She is absolutely fascinated by running water, would watch leaks all day. So as you say, not worse than the current bunch in charge.

When I saw the Two Towers in a cinema when it was first released I was sat behind a couple speaking a language I couldn't understand at all, but every time the plot deviated from the books the man would lean over and say something to his female companion...

It was a journey from when he first arrived (and we thought he was a girl!) to getting him used to inside life but we couldn't be happier that he found us and decided (reluctantly) to trust us ❤️

Three years and one day ago I woke up early and nervous to trap this kitty. At the time he was very clear that he was not at all happy about my behaviour, but I think he feels it's worked out in the end. Massive thanks to @cazrrrr.bsky.social for hand holding in the early days of 3am wailing.

That's her GPS tracker collar - we were worried her tortieness might get her in bother when out and about so we wanted to know we could track he down if need be. Interestingly she really doesn't go far at all.
