Pets are awesome

The arrogance is why we love cats though!

Who wants a cat-in-a-box?  Going once!  Going twice!  Sold to the user named after a Gundam character!

I love them because they're cute and less demanding than dogs I'll be honest.

I am a massive hypocrite, though: I get fed up with Scullion's myriad baby pics*, but will take in all of the cat pictures. At some point, if The Lady will let me, I'll treat you to her cat being a friggin' idiot.

* Smurf's have been absolutely fine, for what little my opinion's worth.

I'm more of a dog person and so is the rest of the family but the internet and knowing cats are more independent, would make me likely to get one if circumstances allowed it.

I don't know what's so fascinating to me about a cat in a box, but I will fully accept all your cat in a box pictures.

Quite right. You don't see a bongo dog meme.

There is plenty memes around dogs though & you get stuff like this.

I love that video! Its look of pure disgust at the cucumber is brilliant.

I love the carrot bit as with the dogs me and my family have had over the years some would often come into the kitchen when we were making food looking for some of it and we'd fool them with sliced carrots which would make them walk out in disgust.

I'm not a fan of carrots myself, so those were some clever pups.

They're alright cooked, raw are bleah.

I do accept that 'doggo' is a thing, but you don't see them playing the bongos, do you?
























































OH COME ON.

If I owned a dog, it'd be a shibe. Great pups, one and all.

Who wants more Wayne photos?  Because guess what I've got for you!  And yes, going through all of them one can see a very distinct filling out in his face structure now.  He's still a very affectionate, naughty, and communicative chap though.

Bow before the cuteness!



Enjoying the evening television programmes!



"What is it human?  Can you not see I'm busy with some very important napping here?"

You feeding him up Athers?

That's a wee lad to a man grown in a few pictures!

If we don't scrap Forumite of the Year, I'm voting for Wayne!

Current (hastily rearranged) plans are to replace Forumite of the Year with Pet of the Year.

I reckon he's in with a fighting chance. It helps that Beatrice and Gus are no longer eligible, but Smurf's boy is nipping at his heels.

Moar snaps?  Moar snaps!  I reckon both of these are going in the album too, just look into his eyes!  First is Wayne on the lap, second is him in his favourite position which I've affectionately called the "sausage position", because he ends up on his back between my legs not unlike a sausage!  And yes, he does often go to sleep like that when he gets into it.  

And yeah, he was getting a wee bit plump for my liking (on top of the fact he's also a very fury critter), so I've reduced his portion sizes a bit and I'd say he's already slimmed down as much as he needs to. He's also gotten into a proper routine, so it's all good now. See the packet was saying a cup of food for his weight, but he wasn't eating all of it and clearly what he was eating was putting on weight, so I simply kept shaving the portions down until everything was eaten by the time of the next meal (breakfast and dinner).

I can't see the snaps.

I can, so no clue what problem you're running into there Balla! You're missing out on some pictures of what looks like a cosy lad.

Ah, didn't work for me earlier for some reason. There he is!

Anyone want more Wayne?  

His first death-stare!



Only to be immediately distracted by a toy lying on the recliner!  



What lies beyond the ceiling?  Wayne intends to find out!  



Saving the best for last!  Gotta check out the bag I brought some books home in!  

WAYNE!!!!!!!
That is all.

Cats love going inside boxes and bags. I've no idea why, but it doesn't cease to amuse me.

Looks like Wayne's getting a little bit chubby under all that floof! Or is it just the photo.?
