I just love the Monkey & Poppy video  :evillaugh:

DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Mark, I think you might be thinking of my two... my sister shot a brief clip of them drinking out of a glass of water, with Monkey (aka Prince of Darkness) pushing Poppy (aka Floppy Pushover) out of the way. He actually did the same thing with some food yesterday, except instead of pushing her away, he pushed her head into the food bowl.  :rofl:

the pet carrier is right next to the radiator with a comfy blanket in it and Jessie is hogging it to sleep in (and of course spurning the various beds we've bought her at great expense  >:() whilst poor Cosmo is stuck outside looking well miffed  :evillaugh:

they're both so jealous - normally, Cosmo gets his own way just 'cos he's bigger but every so often wee Jessie stands her ground...

Haha, very typical! Funny video - although... why put food on the floor?  :Crazy: My floor gets dirty enough without me spooning food directly onto it.  ;) I put food in bowls, and then it's up to the cats to drag it onto the floor.

When I lived in Tasmania I had a comfy chair right by the phone and in front of the telly. Didn't have to leave it for hours unless I wanted coffee or the loo. I had one cat on my stomach, one on my knees, a third draped around the back of my neck and a fourth on the arm of the chair. Had to just call out 'doors open' if anyone knocked cos it took so long to remove my cats that I often got to the door just in time to see them drive off  :rofl: :rofl: And I would NEVER have cats if I didn't have a queen-size bed. With a double, they tend to shove you over the edge  :rofl: :rofl:

It only took one cat to push me and OH to each edge of our king size when Gandolf RIP was with us.  :Luv:

I think I posted about the fact that if Bertie is on my lap, Bella will often squeeze herself in between me and him, and force him off my lap!  And as for the bed, the three of them will frequently get in between me and OH at night and we both wake up right on the edge of the bed with the cats stretched out in between us ... and that's a king size bed!!  :rofl:
