Somewhere comfy to develop a furball

I've accidentally created a cat bed

There's a pile of three sofa cushions by the house gate, waiting (a long time now) to be collected by the bin men. On a evening, there's sometimes a cat that comes and settles down on them. Doesn't sleep though - just gets comfy and watches the street. Lovely big eyes - really round - and pointed ears. Very timid though. Shot under a van last time I found it - when I was coming home. I was on the floor talking to it - under the van - but it was having none of it. It usually frightens me half to death. This morning, a black and white stray has taken up residence on the cushions - they catch the morning sun, so must be warm. He or she is currently giving each leg a good licking and nibbling (will be fleas).

Just thought I'd share because about half the forum likes cats

No camera otherwise I'd try to take some pics.

Where's my shotgun gone....

So that's one cat lover and one, um, not

The area is full of cats, both domestic and stray. The street around the corner from me, where my mate lives, usually has them laid out in the road on a morning, catching the sun - it's a dead end street, so traffic is minimal.

Excellent - shooting gallery (and not in the normal Leeds way.......).

Only joking, I like cats.

It's good innit

One of my favourite uses is to make refuse sacks out of them. Let's see if the other cats dare to scratch those open

Good try greencreeper but still not as cushy as this home:

Might not be, Ours nibble too but they get expensive vet supplied flea treatments. I think they are puling out hair knots and bits of twig etc stuck in their fur.

I also own this extremely useful publication... the most inventive application is the toilet roll holder imho
