Today I found Ruff in an unusual spot to watch my bird. I hang my budgies cage outside under the eves of the house during the day so she gets some fresh air and can chirp to all the native birds. Usually Ruffy doesn't care about her, I think he was worked out she isn't worth trying to get to. I saw Ruff jump up onto a wall then onto the roof. I go outside to see if I can spot him and there he is, sitting in the gutter directly above my birds cage, leaning over the edge of the gutter to watch the bird! XD This is the first time he has ever done this!

Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I do have plans which will hopefully improve this but it's when they can be done. I'm working on making 'Nova's Jungle' where I fill the sun room with lots of cat safe plants like aloe Vera, ponytail Palm, bamboo etc and a very tall cat tree for Christmas so she can watch outside and climb. I'm also going to make her a herb garden, I'm collecting seeds at the moment and she already has some cat grass available to nibble on. Also next summer I plan to build her an outdoor enclosure which should hopefully tone her down a lot. She has plenty of toys her favourites being balls which she likes to ram under small places until she can't reach them and a wand with a long string and a fluffy bait at the end which she'll chase endlessly. But as soon as I stop to eat or something like that she'll continue to meow endlessly. I'll see if I can improve her and hopefully as she matures and she gets spayed and has other indoor things available she might quieten down.

Cleaned the hamsters out yesterday and Arty spent a majority of the afternoon watching them. He sat on the hamster's cages and just stared in, but neither hamsters cared XD

Mindi is finally allowed outside (my Grandad's new cat) and she's apparently a feisty young cat now. She's still a bit nervous around humans, but is very energetic. Sometimes, anyway.

Lenney is King Of Awkward. He sleeps outside no matter what the weather is like; which means we have to drag ourselves outside to pull the lazy lump indoors, when it's basically a thunderstorm. He used to have a sheltered place to sleep in, but then we started building the extension and it's too noisy for him around there. So now he just sleeps in the middle of the garden when it's raining. Lenney never washes himself either (and he hates having baths - my parents gave up on that ages ago) so the rain is the only time he gets a good wash. Instead of being black and white, he's more black and yellow.

Pickles spends all her time sleeping on my bed. As always. Nothing new there!

Does anyone else get really carried away with animal shopping? I could spend days shopping for my pets, and since I sort of have loads of pets, the shopping never ends.

Went to a pet shop the other day to get some hamster food.. Luckily, I had my dad in there to stop me from going mad. Who knows what would have happened! I stopped by some of the small animals (and thought about buying all of them) and then spent time daydreaming about getting the cats one of those scratching post/bed things.

Then I realized that the last time I brought the cats something nice, they totally ignored the whole £30 of it. It was one of those radiator mat things, so that the cat can sleep next to the radiator on a fluffy blanket. Thought Pickles would like it since she always spends time on the radiator... And she totally ignored it. The amount of times we've done that process. Brought something really expensive for them and then they turn a blind eye. Thanks, cats.

Haha. Arty certainly has grown in the six months we've had him. Feels like we've had the monster for ever. I literally can't remember a time before him XD

We have some old pictures of Lenney and Pickles, and how they've changed in fifteen years! I'll see if I have pictures on my computer...

@Flossie
Aw, she's adorable! Love her collar and her colouring!

thank you very much, also thank you to @Anaphea
i have a feeling she is possibly mixed with a Maine coon, my old friend gave me her, but I like to think I rescued her, apparently a pregnant cat got tossed into their garden and they kept it, it had the kittens, sadly, Millie was the only one who got a home, as they killed the others kittens because nobody wanted them... The mother got pregnant again but they just tossed her into a new persons garden, the mother and new kittens now live on a farm, so I'm happy about that. But, Millie is very big, I'll see if I can find a picture later, she's very big, and her fur is very thick and quite long, she also has the same ear tufts as the Maine coons have, there's no way of telling who the father was/is, but I have a good feeling he was a Maine coon.

Edit; Image

she's also quite big compared to my little puppy, who she is tolerating more and more everyday; Image

Adorable! We suspect my cat may be part Persian/Maine Coon. Maybe both. Any help is appreciated! (Adding photo soon)

Aw, she's just so cute! It's good that she's getting used to your dog! Arty met our dogs, got a weeny bit frightened and then ignored them. Jessie keeps trying to play with Arty, but is totally ignored XD

A lot of rescue cats are total mixes and you have no idea what you're getting. I personally like that. All of my cats are moggies, but we know that Arty is somewhat Bengal. I don't think his parents were Bengal, it was most likely grandparents (as you can tell from the pictures, he doesn't quite look fully Bengal). Never know what you're gonna get!
