Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!

Quite the cat, and a great story too! Thanks for that ,I needed it.

I'm glad, thanks! It's like I told a friend from back home, it is SO NICE to be seen again. It also means I can go back to folding socks and throwing them at him to bat to one side.

He's just gone outside on his own for the first time in a month (with the eyesight issues + deafness, we couldn't risk him running into the street -- and of course he'd go unerringly into traffic when we went out with him).

First thing he did -- spied Gus, whom I've mentioned here in this thread (the neighbour's cat who comes over to play with me). Gus loving loves Mr Kitty. Mr Kitty hates Gus like fire -- none of which discourages Gus in the slightest.

Mr Kitty shot him a look of death, hissed at him, and for the second thing, turned and made his way back into the house through the flap by himself.

Sounds trivial, but it's a big thing considering the state he was in just a few weeks ago.

Gus meanwhile is still full of beans; I got home late last night from a conference, crossed the back garden, and out of the shadows came Gus, doing that weird hop thing cats do up on two legs*. He hurled himself at me, wrapping his front feet around my knees, and made as to throw me to the ground, the little fucker. It's probably to get back at me for leaping out from behind the bins to scare the poo poo out of him every chance I get. He likes to rough-house.

He is nails, I'll give him that. See how torn up his ears are? In his prime, Mr Kitty ruled this estate with an iron fist.

Anyway, back to the other lovely stories and pictures in this thread; this is my go-to after long or frustrating days. So glad to hear that Butterscotch is feeling better, too!

So are these all "famous" internet birds then? I guess the one with the cup is Harley and the one with the book is probably that bird that knew loads of words. Maybe the top left ones are Marnie and Mr. Pretty Bird.

fake edit: or maybe the one with the yellow head is the artists' bird, had a peek at their page and they've got one that looks like that
