A cat thread!
I have five of them.

Cute

Do they all get along?

I think they accept each other as family members. Every once in while they do fight though.

Well, at least there's an entertainment value every once in a while. My old Woots was a real scratcher, it wanted to fight me when I stroked it. It's daft claws got stuck on my fleece top many a time. It was a naughty Woots.

I'd say "they accept each other as family members, therefore every once in while they do fight."

Another active day! Charlie (age 14). My cousin's cat is 20. I guess we are lucky - our neighbour's sweet three year old orange coloured cat (who was always in our garden) was run over and killed a week or two ago.

Very amusing photo. (And sorry to hear of your neighbor's cat...)

Thanks Bruce. Actually I just noticed that I posted it upside down

Jeffrey

There's more drama in it being upside down Jeffrey. Poor Charlie looks like he's on his way out of the duvet and fighting against being groundward bound. I now MUST find pics of my silly Woots to post here, because I started the thread and haven't contributed anything!

That happened to us too often when I was growing up, and now that I have cats of my own, I have built them this run in the backyard. The second photo shows you how they leave the house via a cat flap which leads into an exit box, then there's a tunnel under a garden path that leads them into the run proper. The photos are from "Opening Day" three years ago.

Yes John. I think that Woots needs to make an appearance here - preferably standing on a Do-It-Yourself Taoist Journal

Goodness me - what an impressive feat of constructions! Your cats are lucky to have such a caring owner. Personally if I attempt to put up a kitchen-roll holder it immediately falls down

Errr, the only bit I built personally is the wooden "roof" of the tunnel. That also happens to be the only bit that's required any maintenance in the last three years

I am still impressed. My wife has purchased a solar-powered bird bath today. I'm sure that this will provide Charlie with hours of fun

Your cats are lucky to have you as an um... friend . My cats are now staying indoor and this is all I can offer to them.
