They're sent . Hope the visit goes well.
Pass on to Faith our happy gotcha day wishes. And that she's beautiful.
This guy looks so adorable, I just want to cuddle him. Let's repost this and help get him a purrfect furrever home.
I always say cats are family. But they are family that you're great friends with too.
My wife really laughed at that and said that is so true.
The size of that majority is very telling about the demand for something better than we have now.
Well I truly hope he wins too. People like Zack give old lefties like me hope for the world my grandchildren will inherit. And I voted for him.
Looking very regal there
Great photo.
My money is you two being hyper appreciated every single day.
Happy gotcha day, Frankie. Have a purrfect day.
Another state is good news. The practice is truly barbaric.
Show them your catitude, Gonzo.
SSad but true
Thank you for the kind wecome
Our condolences to you. Fly free over the rainbow 🌈 bridge, Egg.
Four, you said four. Please, I'll pay you not to tell 3 breakfasts Ella about this. Just keep it between us two.
I'm putting money on that every single day involves Frankie napping like that.
There should be, everyone loves a tuxie.
Sorry, I saw these after I asked you if you had been climbing today.
Sunny looks so demure with her front paws like that. Gorgeous floof.
Oh Tim. That's a blow. I am so sorry to hear that news. We send you our condolences, some strength. Iggy and Ella send healing purrs. Fly free over the rainbow 🌈 bridge, Moo Moo.
Gorgeous eyes.
I think someone has a full on nip hangover here.
I agree, the pink nose looks far more real. Looks beautiful.
🎵 Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Jonesy, Happy birthday to you 🎵 Have a purrfect birthday day.
Been tree climbing today?
I just love the drooping paw look.
Great song but I prefer the Dubliners version from the 1960s. My mum and dad used to play their lps a lot back then so it's something I grew up with.
That was a lovely kitten photo but even cuter now. And a touch of the ginger for #gingercatappreciationday
Good afternoon to you and your sister.
You're very welcome, Feliz.
Have a great #gingercatappreciationday Whether or not you've got those two orange genes.
Such a huge voice! Love this, although my favourite record by her on Chess is 'I just want to make love to you '. Powerful.

Wrong! Gorgeous,cute cat.
Even if it's late, happy birthday to you, Felix. We hope you had a pawsome birthday day.
Ever!
Top catting award winners.
That's nearly as quirky as Iggy. He won't eat his meals unless a human sits right next to him and watches his back. He returns the favour by watching for us when we eat. He sits at the foot of the table watching the door to the room. Meet Iggy
You have picked up loafing very well indeed, Jacob.
And good morning to you too, Ragnar.
Like my @gonzo.bsky.social t shirt says. No ragrets.
Ella is our first pedigree cat. We've had cats for over 40 years but always adopted or someone's cat had kittens.
Welcome to you two, we're glad to see you've joined too We joined today too
She literally follows my wife around the house like a little dog. Bathroom and all.
She is, she's very chatty, a soft cuddle bug one minute and a feisty madam the next. She knows she's cute and uses it to wind her humans round that dainty white paw.
My favourite Stevie Wonder album that. Today, I needed cheering up after a bad football result. So I was listening to the BT Express Fire album and then a compilation cd of Crown Height Affair 12 inch mixes. Finished with Fantastic Four BYOF and EWF Biyo. Sanity restored!
There's often truth hidden behind humour.
Try it, some cats love being brushed, others just don't. Iggy won't tolerate brushing period, Ella loves it when she's in the mood, just pick your moment. Try it whilst she's occupied with eating, unless she's easily put off her food.
Meant as a compliment!
It's scarier than the original Jaws and Jurassic Park put together! Help!
Ella the ragdoll cat is bored. She's just hanging out. And over.
Absolutely, the starter packs are a really useful feature over here at Bluesky. I had already used them to find cat accounts to follow.
Just as well! Bertie looks higher than his airplane flies.
We've now followed all the accounts on the list, to be fair, we followed most of them before.
Hi and thank you for welcoming us to #Hedgewatch Thank you again for adding us to the list
Hello to you, Flo
Benefit of the doubt! I'm swearing blind that counts as in.
Sorry, I can't help myself, I just love tuxies.
Snap, Dougie. Iggy and Ella just had a rabbit chew stick. It disappeared super quickly. None left now.
Domino. Jackie Wilson Said. Brown Eyed Girl. In descending order
Thank you all, especially the rainbow bridge branch.
Thank you for the welcome
Thank you so much
Happy gotcha day, Zora. Have a purrfect day
Happy gotcha day, Bianca. Have a pawsome day
I would like to think it would but doubt it. Still bitter and twisted.
Thank you, super bucket hat!
Thank you, Oreo.
White cats are particularly prone to skin cancer on their ears. Usually from the sun. You can protect them with hypoallergenic sun cream. Their pink noses need it too but you can't get cats to keep it on. Iggy doesn't like it being applied, but I'm super fast now. Heat up cold cream before applying
Very considerate, Missy. Your mum really needs those nighttime cookies to keep her strength up.
Wahoo! Mackerel fillet all round! You can all share some of this
Are you safe to fly after all that nip?
I've yet to meet a cat who's got the shame gene.
You'll soon be forgiven. Best time to get in for a sneaky head kiss.
Now that's a title.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, Kevy. We hope you have a purrfect birthday day.
Thank you MishMish.
Thank you, we agree.
I have somehow very few photos of our cats sitting, out of thousands. So here are two of our beautiful lady Ella complete with her dainty white socks. She's so sweet but an absolute madam.
For clarity, I didn't realise that Seals & Croft performed as a group, I knew them only as songwriters.
Our only ginger cat experience was buying a life sized one painted onto wood from Cats Protection, a national cat charity here. We placed it above the kitchen door as decor. We had to remove it as Iggy kept hissing and growling at it. We moved it but he just wouldn't accept it.
I had an email this morning from the PDSA, People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, here in the UK, which said it was today. Unapologetic even if I'm wrong, we can have a 3 day event.
I will play the Isley Brothers 'Fight The Power' (parts 1&2) for you today. I didn't know until about a year ago that 'Summer Breeze' was a cover version by them. I had thought it was their original song, despite owning it on vinyl since the mid 70s.
Well happy #Caturday to everyone. It's also ginger cat appreciation day. I've never had a ginger cat, nearest we have been was our long gone, zoomiest cat ever, little calico called Heidi who had ginger splotches. Not deliberate, just never happened. For those who do or are, happy ginger cat day.
We hope that your new house is a really happy one for you.
Happy birthday to your mum! We hope that she has a pawsome day.
Well, I opunned the door to that.
I eared about it.
Wahoo! I bet that Sunny is so happy. And mum can relax now too.
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We're sending you our condolences and healing purrs from Iggy and Ella. Fly free over that rainbow 🌈 bridge, Sammy.
Lifesaver!
Oh no. Just realised we've come a day too late. Still , mustn't waste that lovely salmon and nip.
You look gorgeous Amanda.
Happened to me about 10 years ago in Poitiers, France. Picked up a rental car and they gave me a key fob. I assumed the key flicked out. It was keyless entry and ignition. I had to go back and get them to show me how to start it. Wouldn't let you start the engine unless your seat belt was on.
Iggy and Ella are on their way in the Uber now. Bringing you poached salmon and freshly picked catnip that their mum grew.
I clearly wasn't being allowed to stop rubbing her so snap.
