Not exactly what you’re asking for, perhaps, but I’ve used a “backpack cat carrier” for this (basically a black backpack with mesh bits to see/ breathe through). I sometimes wear it on my front, which looks weird to other humans, but the cats tend to seem happier if they can see my face.
One of my cats sometimes likes to walk up behind the laptop, push into the lid until it closes, then sit on it.
Bitty! Bitty is one of my favourite cats-that-aren’t-my-cats :)
In the American special forces branch of the Navy, you receive extra Sausages, Eggs And Lard (S.E.A.L) in your rations, so these people are called “Seals”.
Obviously, after a few years of eating so much extra greasy food, they’re no longer capable of participating in military operations, so tend to retire and write books about what they did at work.
I think that’s correct anyway - don’t quote me on it.
If there’s any form of argument or debate, everyone cares about the correct spelling and grammar of their opponents.
You can re-use this picture tomorrow for boxing day :)
(I like to imagine boxing day is the day when you let your cat sit in all the boxes left over from Christmas)
What a lovely, fun little game! Thanks for sharing :)
When adults said things like “In this day and age, nobody says please and thankyou any more”, I misinterpreted “this day and age” as “The Stayan Age”, which was our current age, which obviously followed on from Bronze Age, Iron Age etc.
Unless they’re already on the list, I would also like to add 1980s Rock Star Freddie Mercury, 1992 Formula One Driving Champion Nigel Mansell, and Liverpool FC’s 1980s Midfielder & 1990s Manager Graeme Souness :)
The tasche isn’t square enough for a Kitler. More of a Ron Mael from Sparks.
[Edit] just to note, I’m not mocking your cat - even with its 70s rock-star moustache, it’s a beautiful cat.
I’ve also got a silver toilet guardian:
Doesn’t scratch at the door, but miaows sadly and repeatedly and bumps into the door until let in.
His need to be in the bathroom if there’s a person in there is so strong, he has recently learnt to operate door handles, to let himself in.
Tap tap tap.
“Meow” (Are you awake?)
Bump bump.
“Meeeow” (Are you awake?)
Tap tap tap.
“Chirp” (Yeah, I couldn’t sleep either)
Black cats of all nationalities are welcome :) The charity that declared the day is from the UK, but the idea that “black cats are beautiful and shouldn’t be overlooked” is worldwide :)
According to the best school playground scientists of the time, opening a packet of crisps upside down (i.e. so the branding/writing is upside down, and you open the bottom of the packet, at the top) actually “made you gay”.
It wasn’t just gay if you did it, but it would literally cause a spontaneous eruption of gayness in whoever did it - who would be permanently gay from that point onwards.
In the 1990s in the UK, it was gay to wear a backpack using both shoulder straps (as opposed to using one strap over one shoulder, which was the heterosexual way to carry things to school).
I genuinely didn’t realise that! It looked like they were missing, and just had the little nubs underneath.
Would you perhaps like to imagine they were missing, if only for the sake of my previous comment? :)
How often do you write the word “wads”? I can see a potential problem.
All three of ours play fetch, but only with specific objects. They’re all brothers about 2½ years old.
The tabby cat plays fetch with fluffy toy balls with feathers on them, the grey cat plays fetch with spare cat collars and the little black cat plays fetch with menthol sweet wrappers.
Our silver cat is a huge fan of tummy tickles.
He specifically requests them, and he’s certainly gone over ten minutes without any hint of wanting to stop, he just “supermans” his arms out one at a time, and sometimes drools a bit.

I really appreciate you taking the time to show the step-by-step process of the construction. Very well written and informative :)
