Casper is a lovely cat! He has a lovely home! He has caring owners (servants) who tend to his every whim, who paid out hundreds of pounds in vet's bills when he was run over by a car last summer.
He is now supposed to be on a diet to help him lose the weight he gained after so much inactivity during his time with a steel pin in his leg. Of course, he's found another source of food - in our house! He waits for us to go out and then pops into his local cafe!
Where he can empty Max's and Chloe's bowls of food and then have a snooze on the sofa in the conservatory where he has easy access to the cat flap. This week he has got so confident that he didn't move when I took these photos. He's such a lovely, gentle cat, but he's becoming a pain in the posterior as when we go out for any length of time our cats have to be kept in, otherwise he would eat all their food and they would be very hungry when we got home.
He does look very at home Rosie. Cats are such disloyal creatures aren't they? We had a cat who ended up spending more time with our neighbour, so before we went to live abroad for a few years we spoke to the neighbour, he couldn't bear to part with him, we ended up leaving the cat with him, and set up a direct debit to pay his way!
ReplyDeleteCasper does look a little roly poly! He has a lovely round face and looks very sweet natured. I bet that Max and Chloe aren't too fond of him though! x
ReplyDeleteWait until I tell my slimming members about him!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheeky cat!!! Doesn't he look cosy!
ReplyDeleteMy MIL's cat had two homes .... it turned out he was eating at a neighbour's house so much they thought it was a stray that had moved in with them. He was the biggest cat I'd ever seen!!!

I loved hearing about Casper. What a cheeky boy he is. It reminded me of the book my sons loved when they were little of 'Six Dinner Sid'. x
ReplyDeleteI think all cats are cheeky monkeys!! they are adorable, I love them :) such a cutie to pay you a visit though.
ReplyDeleteBee happy x
Have a delicious day!
oh what a very cute house guest! We once had a cat that would go round to other houses, go in through the cat flaps and steal the cat toys. We new this as often we would come downstairs in the morning to find 1 or even 3 new toys in the middle of the sitting room floor. lol, cats you just have to love them the little scoundrels!
ReplyDeleteHe's a lovely cat with beautiful markings and is obviously completely at home in your house:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story - Casper is a wise fellow. He has the best of all worlds. Now your poor cats must go without so he can have his freedom.

Oooooh!¬ What a cheeky moggy! Can you get sensor activated cat flaps to select which felines are allowed entry?
ReplyDeleteAnd which are NOT!!!
ReplyDeleteI think he may think otherwise! He looks very much at home to me! xxxx
ReplyDeleteoh my... I feel for you but can't help being amused by his placid nature. Do your cats not protest at him? Once I went out at 4.00pm leaving two cats only to return at midnight to find three.. having locked in next doors! All were sat together in the conservatory wondering what to do. No food eaten by any of them. I don't have a cat flap.. I would be worried like you if I did. Wish I could advise. Is it possible to not leave food down? Thanks visiting us... Love Helen, Darcy, Bingley xxx
