Sulking because I wont take her for her afternoon walk yet. Its not until three. If I gave in it would get earlier and earlier until it was abutted with the morning walk.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Pete is planning a nap after chasing his new hexbug nano bug and nicking some cheese.

Having a lap after getting shut in the shed for a couple of hours  ::-)

Tilly is reflecting on the fact that cornering Hazel our grumpy old cat was a tactical error as she now has a nice scratch on her nose from said feline.

Pete is still ignoring his new bed in favour of my lap.

Sapphie is checking her emails, while Ralph relaxes and the dog watches on in bemusement.

Pete is going daft looking for a treat. I threw one towards his climbing tower but didn't see where it landed. He can obviously smell it and he's trying to find it, and keeps meowing his confusion. And he keeps standing on his back legs like a meerkat and I can see his floofy tummy.

Pete is sitting on the windowsill, sunbathing and looking out of the window.

Bad Cat is sprawling between window sill and sofa, suspending her big furry belly over the radiator, and thus maximising her thermal absorption profile.

Little Monster Cat is snoring loudly from her bed in my office.

Making stupid sotto voce nasal squeaks as he lies on his cushion, too lazy to move, but generally letting the world know "I want Things!"

Purring into my ear. Once it gets to a certain loudness she gets put on the floor, before she dribbles in my ear.
It is simpler than it looks.

Pete is now snoring away in his new bed, which he has ignored since I got it for him on Saturday.

Hmm, strangely familiar.

Bad Cat has a newish thing. Rather than bug us by trying to annex serious bedspread real estate (like a little furry Putin to our quilted nocturnal Ukraine) she's found the fitted wardrobe. She's somehow figured out how to slide the doors apart and then use the drawers and fittings inside as a ladder to the top (which she facilitates by wedging herself against the back of the closed door and part wriggling). Then she sleeps on the top shelf all night. We had to put a bed up there for her to stop her fuzzing the place up. But the best bit is that she does it every night at the same time we go to bed, but pauses when she reaches the top, looks out at us and miaows once and then, like we're in some episode of the cat Waltons pulls the door shut behind her.

In the morning, when my wife gets up, she slides the door ajar and leaps out. Which is nice, because the resulting sound is exactly the same as having a someone drop a 5kg bag of spuds from the ceiling onto the bedroom floor. I'm tempted to put a trampoline out.

The Waltons. But with cats rather than people.

Well, I'd watch it.

But it's seriously cute when she miaows a good night and then closes the door. I'm not sure how she figured out the sliding door. It's a quite hefty floor to ceiling unit, but she hooks her claw into the frame and pulls it back and forth. She's been up clambering up for a while as Little Monster Cat doesn't have an head for altitude so it's the only sleeping place they don't have to fight over (and Bad Cat always eventually loses) but only recently has she started to sleep up there overnight.

On the less cute side, I know I'll come home one day to find the door hanging askew and big repair bill, because that's what Bad Cat does (and how she got the name, it's what our repair chap calls her, his little furry income plan).

Think a bucket of water would be more entertaining?

Years ago my parents' neighbours had a pair of Jack Russels that would leap the fence into their garden and cause havoc. One day I put a bathtub of water in the landing zone. Was met with a splash, a pair of yelps, some mad scrambling and they never came back.

Back OT Layla is asleep on top of me and growling if I move  so I'll stay put for a while.

I am not quite sure whether having breath so bad that he stinks like a putrefying badger counts as doing anything. :-X

For an old man, Morphy really is a great big puppy.

He just brought me a tennis ball to play with and bounced around the room like a spring lamb for a few minutes. He was 13 last week, which I am told is pretty exceptional for a setter.

This morning I caught them both snoozing together in the sun on top of one of their hutches by the back door. Which is weird because normally that kind of proximity would be Battle Royale. The sun must have been baking their little brains into submission. Last night, I watched Bad Cat half-nelson Little Monster Cat. She didn't like that. Not a bit. Bad move for Bad Cat, because Little Cat is 90 per cent monster.

A few seconds later, Bad Cat is being flipped on her head with an audible thunk as she hits the wooden floor. And being propelled across that floor at a rate of knots as LMC gnaws a her podgy little underbelly ignoring the pathetic kicks landing on her head, only pausing every now and again to smack Bad Cat upside her head. I had to separate them and give them a good talking to.

Of course, as soon as I released them, they both went upstairs and continued for another fifteen minutes. Small countries have been invaded more quietly.
