OMG - you’ve got such sophisticated tastes, Auggie! 😻
Marv was a street cat though - that’s the irony. Now he’s so fussy! 😹😹😹
Marv is the same - will not touch human food. So different to previous cat, Smokey who would eat ANYTHING. My mum used to cook him chicken in the pressure cooker. He used to take up position in front of the stove as he could tell it was coming! 😹😹😹
He really is!
I saw this for the first time recently - wonderful film. Cinematography by Seamus McGarvey from Armagh!
🤣🤣🤣
Why don’t we have these here??? 🤣
Good morning handsome! Wishing you and Jake a wonderful Thursday. Take good care of Eddie too. 😻😻😻
Beautiful! 🤩
Beautiful! 🍂😍😍😍
Oh Marv never shouts! And if he did, he would never shout at Eddie! 😻😻😻
Me too! 🤣🤣🤣
Don’t remember drinks with orange balls? But then again we were never allowed many fizzy drinks… 🙀
Kimberly were 2 ginger biscuits with soft marshmallow filling. And then there’s this: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ja...
😽😽😽
And your wonderful whiskers, of course! 😹
Marv is in awe of your glossy coats! 😻😻😻
Tayto Crisps, Barries (?) Teabags and Kimberly Mikado Biscuits are also sold in GB supermarkets. I have no idea who buys Club Orange. ‘Tis pure poison. I just remembered the advert: “Let the Big O flow, Club Orange… ” 😹😹😹
I feel so sorry for everyone there. It’s must be so awful. 💙
Not really! But his fur is growing back and is looking healthier.
Thank you, Flash. The fights have probably happened during his time here though! He’s a hardy little gentleman, regardless. And faced with the latest challenges (Jasper and Cheshire), he’s getting even stronger! 😻
You’re all so fortunate in this respect (obviously not in others 😂) - we have very limited options here in UK! Everything seems to be poisoned with artificial sweeteners or flavouring. Trip (CBD drink) and Bon Aqua are the only ones I can think of. Happy to be corrected - if anyone knows better?
Unfortunately…
I like the sound of the mojito one!
Marv has been in so many fights - his are bifurcated. Cauliflower ears. 🙀
Why is this not available here? It looks perfect! Not a fan of fizzy drinks as such but sometimes it’s nice to have one, preferably without all the additives and aspartame etc
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
When I was at uni in Scotland I used to get that boat all the time during uni holidays. Train / boat initially, then I progressed and got a car, so would drive to Stranraer, leave the car there and travel as a foot passenger.
Larne - sympathies! 🤣
What the hell is that?! 😹
So suave! 😻😻😻
I thought that only existed in NI? 😹😹😹
YES! 👏😹😹😹
Actually, I’m with Flash on this one. Snapple really doesn’t do it for me… sorry! 😹
😻😻😻
And we all LOVE ❤️ HIM! 😻😻😻
I love it! 😻
Also the SHOUTING 😹😹😹
Lurking! 😹😹😹
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
Who knows? Jasper and The Cheshire Cat seem to gravitate towards him. He doesn’t cultivate that sort of thing. He’s quite antisocial.
You’re a woman after my own heart. 🤣🤣🤣
I find it totally intrusive myself but it’s good (for her) to keep an eye on him. He’s rarely left anyway. He has private time in the other rooms anyway. And outside. When Jasper and Cheshire aren’t lurking.
Disclaimer: Bád = BOAT. Bád Eddie is Eddie’s Boat. Nothing to do with Eddie, the Flim Flam Critta. Gavel.
This is very true. No idea. But Marv doesn’t have a problem with beast-cam. Although feels like it’s the “Voice of God” when primary human speaks to him over it when she’s not there! 😹
I knew I’d made the right decision! Wise Kiki! 😻😻😻
😹😹😹
Eddie - the neighbour LOVES him and really spoils him. Zero neglect. Plus his primary human has viewed him on the beast-cam (Ring) and he’s been absolutely fine. Snoozing on the perch. There’s always “cold shoulder” treatment on the return. 😹😹😹
Sorry - forgot the speech marks ☝️ above! 😹😹😹
Where the hell have you been? And where’s the primary human?
Auggie - your ears are so perfect and symmetrical too. 😻😻😻
“Paint me like one of your French girls…” was exactly the phrase that came to mind! 😻😻😻
Auggie, you look like a portrait. So beautiful. 😻😻😻
SPLENDID! 😻😻😻
This is SO CUTE! 😻😻😻
Cuteness OVERLOAD! 😻😻😻

I was going to share that YouTube clip of Ron Moody’s Fagin performing that song from the movie Oliver! It’s a GREAT song but I imagine it could cause offence as his portrayal is really more than a little anti-Semitic. Maybe I’m over analysing? Sorry to bring down the thread! 🤣
Marvin says he’s reviewing the situation… 😻😹😻
Aw - now he’s blushing! 😻😻😻
😻😻😻
😹😹😹
Divine! 😍
Thank you! His coat is getting nice and glossy again. He was very cross as he was abandoned for a few days (next door neighbour was feeding him) but once the Dreamies were produced, he seemed to make a recovery… 😻😻😻
Well done. I can never donate as had malaria as an infant (lived in Africa)…
Belated happy #whiskerswednesday from Marv! Sending love to all! 😻😻😻
Oh wow! Heavenly! 😻😻😻
That one was my sister’s - she’s much better at photography than me! She’s still there for another few days with our mum. 😻
The view from Fairy Glen, Derrybeg, this evening. Would definitely recommend. 😍😍😍
It’s where Enya (the singer) and her family grew up. The landscapes are indeed gorgeous. It’s the combination of the mountains and the sea. I’m back at home now and it’s not quite so scenic - although when I share some of my local walk photos, my ex colleagues are very jealous! 🤣
Thank you! It actually rained a lot and these were in between the showers. But it’s such a beautiful place. 😻

Such a beautiful group of catties! 😻😻😻😻
A few more shots, Leo’s Tavern and Kincashla. 😍
Fankle is a term I’ve heard of, but never a stramash! I love it! Happy #whiskerswednesday to Joe & Jake (and Eddie)… and indeed all #catsofbluesky 😻😻😻
⬇️
I certainly will! Your comments have made me feel happy! 😍
Thank you! I live in Northern Ireland, this part of Donegal is around 2 hours from where I live. I love it so much!
I’m crying … 😹😹😹
😹😹😹
😹😹😹
😹😹😹
Absolutely! Such beautiful pictures and everyone looked so happy! Thanks for a wonderful (few) thread(s)! 😻😻😻
😹
Always surprising for those of us who grew up with black and white tv to see Rupert the Bear in colour.
😻😻😻
Oh how horrible for you. I’m so sorry.
The Hoor & The Hallion … the mind boggles! 🤣😱🤣
Bád Eddie = Eddie’s Boat in Gweedore!
😹😹😹
It is a beautiful language. 😍
It’s v limited, Auggie! Please and thank you, yes/ no, where is the xyz etc … ! 😹😹😹
Every time I see Bád Eddie, it seems more and more decrepit. 😢 But Gweedore is a beautiful part of the world and so clean. And the Ostan Gweedore (featured in Crá - Donegal Noir drama on BBC iPlayer) is being redeveloped! 😍
Oh I’m sure it is. Are you a gaeilgeoir? Mine is minimal! As an aside - I managed to watch “The Traitors - Ireland” this evening and one of the challenges was Irish language related, which was really fun!
I’m so glad I don’t live in France as these sound like they’d be irresistible and I’d never be able to not finish an entire packet single handed. 🤣🤣🤣
Pawesome!!! 😻😻😻
