Cats seem to have surprisingly little road sense. You'd think rapid evolution would have forced them to have some! Talisker, a totally black cat, used to favour sleeping in the middle of the road in warm weather like this.

A black cat, on a black road.

I used to put the highest vis reflective collars I could find on him, and wondered about putting velcro retroflectives on his paws, but decided they wouldn't last very long! I seriously wondered if you could produce some sort of retroflective or fluorescent pet shampoo, that could make a cat glow in the dark.

It's not helped by our road suddenly becoming a rat-run, due to emergency water main works on the Bristol Road in the middle of Silly Oak. Yes, the same bit of road they've spent the last couple of years building a bypass round...

Fortunately they come with cats eyes factory fitted

I think evolution has ensured that cats have lots of sex and get pregnant early enough that by the time Darwin strikes they have already left a dozen replacements!

Gash the Cat by Andrew Wood Photo, on Flickr

This is Gash the Cat. He is a stray who hangs out at Press On Dry Cleaning, next door to the studios in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. He seems to be a good guard cat! He is so named because when the proprietors of the dry cleaning business met him, he had a nasty cut all the way along his side. As you can see, he is very well fed and made very welcome.

I don't think any of you should let your cats watch this in case they start to demand you make one for them.

My Frankencat project continues...

There is more, but she is shy. Awww.

I think Puck is my favourite.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce you to young Wiggins?

Sadly not mine, but my nieces'. She was known as "Mo" for a day, but I guess the Tour de France made more of an impression than the Olympics.

Oh my word. Demand video footage for the kitteh-lovin cyclists immediately.

Can a (female) cat grow sideburns?

I love the mottled colouring of Torties, she looks like she's tricoloured. Very cute.

Hazel in "Purposeful Puss"

Torslanda · « **Reply #1770 on:** 18 September, 2012, 11:12:36 pm »

Somehow you just 'know' that is Becky's cat.

The purposeful stance and the look that says 'It's OK. Whatever engineering problem you had, I'm here now and I can sort it.'

No1Daughter's dad came home this morning with a stiff flattened body. She's had a shit weekend (her bag was nicked last night, too).

Poor Zuko. Less than a year old.

barakta · « **Reply #1773 on:** 30 September, 2012, 02:47:29 pm »

Ohno, that's horrible. I'm sorry to hear this.

marcusjb · « **Reply #1774 on:** 30 September, 2012, 04:57:32 pm »

That is so terribly sad. Poor thing.
