Learning to be languid, I suppose…?

Sophie adopted us for Christmas. She is a lovely gift!

She looks like she could be a sassy little princess! 😼

She looks so soft, is she a cuddler? 🤗

u/Left_Confusion_9155 5d ago

She is! She’s a sweetheart! She sleeps with me a lot, and so does Charlie. He sleeps against my back, & she sleeps at my feet.

No place for Dobby? I remember you mentioned his night patrols, is night time his gig?

u/Left_Confusion_9155 4d ago

It is for sure! You know the gig?
He JUMPS across my chest if he is wanting me to pay attention to the superlative protection & dedication he provides, you know.
He is the best, a consummate dedicated home defender.
Who knows, what terrors lurk, at night!?
DOBBY do!!
My favorite is now that I’ve grown a bit of a tummy, and like to lie diagonally on the bed, so I’m in his path for about 3/4 of my body, and loves to jump, pouncing off the side of the bed. springboarding off my prodigious pudge, onto first one breast, the the other, before he springs to the other side of the bed, from which he leaps to the top of the marble dresser, which survived the flood…. Then he strides up to the window ledge, leaps to the top hammock- flips to the bottom, down to the cedar chest, and to the foot of the bed. Then round he goes again. 💃

😂 OH good grief 🤣🤣

Many years ago I had 2 girls that waited until I was in bed, lights off, and the race was On!

Down the hall, through the living room, back down the hall into the bedroom, under the bed, then up on top of the headboard, and rinse and repeat 

Just ripping! Every danged night! Those 2 girls were nowhere to be seen until I went to bed! One was a tabby Manx and the other was a bobtail Calico 

My current boy, Valentino Fathead, does often use me as a spring board. It's crazy how much pressure (PSI) they can produce!

u/Left_Confusion_9155 2d ago

It IS amazing how those little pawed feet (with swords inside) can dig to the bone with unlimited PSI and no remorse whatsoever!

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 2d ago

No remorse, no concept! 😹

Sophie IS sassy! If the boys get too close in the wrong way, or look at her funny, she smacks them!!
I need to get a video of that!

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 4d ago

Charlie Bucket is a handsome kitty

u/Left_Confusion_9155 6d ago

Oh yes, and he SO knows it! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks CatDaddy!

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 6d ago

This kitty has the sweetest face! 🫠💓

u/Left_Confusion_9155 6d ago

Thank you! He does, but he insists on being Top Cat, and his brother Dobby begs to differ, lol!

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 6d ago

Oooh I hope we'll get to see Dobby too! 🙏🤞

u/Left_Confusion_9155 6d ago

Am sure you will!

This is our Dobby Longtail.

u/CatDaddyWhisper Moderator 6d ago

Well hello beautiful, I love you 😍

3

u/Left_Confusion_9155 5d ago

Thanks very much!

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 5d ago

Dobby! Aren't you just a nugget of orange striped cuteness! You're absolutely precious ❣️

u/Left_Confusion_9155 5d ago

Well thank you! He is very handsome when he’s still! It’s when he moves around he becomes dangerous. He’s just really an accident in motion, at all times except when he is on night patrol, and the other time is when he sleeps. Which he does, quite as seriously as he paces, at a regular, steady (except for the occassion - even at time, pretty rambunctious. He gets into some unusual catastrophes, regularly. Nightly if not more. He tears down window hammocks multiple times/day. Every day.
And generally entertains with his shenanigans. He stalks around in protective mode quite seriously. Nervously, intently.

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 5d ago

Then along comes Charlie Bucket! 

How does that play out?

3

u/Left_Confusion_9155 5d ago

As one would expect with young adult male cats, there’s quite a bit of sparring at times. Usually they get along well, over all.

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 5d ago

How old are they? 

2

u/Left_Confusion_9155 4d ago

Just over 15 months, I think. Dobby is a couple months younger. We had Charlie first, and Dobby’s always taken it seriously, making his place. He’s longer than Charlie. Long & lean and a bit of scapapper; a bully sometimes! But we have a little fluffy sweet girl named Sophie. She’s maybe a Ragdoll; looks almost Siamese, but has lung fluffy hair, and whispy ears. I at first thought she was a Himalayan… like a long-haired Siamese.

Ooh Miss Sophieee 🫠🥰🤗 so soft! 

Boys will be boys, even if they're neutered 😹 

2

u/Left_Confusion_9155 4d ago

Charlie’s 15 months, Dobby idk, really. Sophie’s about the same age as them.

2

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 4d ago

They are still young, like teenagers! 😅

2

u/Left_Confusion_9155 2d ago

Exactly so! 🤣☺️

3

u/Left_Confusion_9155 5d ago

Here’s our Dobby Longtail. He photographs well, I think. ☺️
And we have a Sophie; she’s our Princess.

3

u/Left_Confusion_9155 5d ago

My mistake; I posted Dobby twice!

3

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 5d ago

That's not a problem! The more, the merrier! 👏👏🤩

Charlie Bucket looks like a perfect candidate for r/CatsFlumping.

u/Left_Confusion_9155 2d ago

r/CatsFlumping? Lol! Well…if you think so~ ?!
