Topic: Update on Dulce and Gabanna

Didn't know that cats could read, better change the back door mat.

First picture Dulce, second Gabanna (I think) the terrible twins.

Still showing up are they Borlotti?
I still think of your poor Charlie. They obviously see that the coast is clear now! Still, I am sure it's nice for you that they keep hanging around! They are gorgeous (and as typical cats, seem to be making themselves right at home!)
Take care.

I'm sure you don't mean it

They look really happy to be there.

Poor Charlie, but he was suffering in the end, so think it was the right decision.  Dulce lives here now, and the owners don't seem to want him, or he won't go home, only when we have visitors or children, which he hates, then he sleeps in the plastic greenhouse, but will not go home.   Gabanna only visits occasionally, to beat Dulce up, check the rubbish bin and then clears off.  Gabanna is good, just see him for a quick visit once a week and he goes home.  Have tried locking Dulce out so he will go home, but even OH has given up now, and although he won't feed him will stroke him.  So now officially I am a cat thief, but have told them so many times where he is and they don't come to collect him, and have taken him home but he still comes back. When they first came in as kittens, should have kicked them out, or thrown water at them, so do feel a bit guilty.  Dulce is terrified of children, even my granddaughter who is 15 and loves cats and the owners have children and a new baby.  Dulce was not much help with the jigsaw puzzle as he got bored, apart from chewing up the pieces.

Wonderful pics, I love how cats like to squeeze into boxes, he wouldn't come to you if his 'real' home was nicer.....

Gabanna popped in yesterday for a quick visit.  We have paw prints in the bath, and the basin (downstairs bathroom), not sure which cat is guilty.  Gabanna nearly got shut in here the other night as I didn't see him hidding behind the Xmas tree, just hope he doesn't wee on it.  OH spotted him and sent him home.  Dulce is still here, and enjoying himself clawing the new furniture and the carpet, and my feet which he just loves.  No more trouble with the neighbours.

Gabanna practising to be an ornament and trying out the new settee, Dulce just loves a towel on the kitchen floor.

Neighbour speaking to me and friendly, asked about Dulce and didn't seem to mind that he lived here now.  I said I never should have stroked him as a kitten, but she said he was a disloyal cat and would have gone off anyway, so that is a result.
Dulce still frightened of children, but will disappear when my granddaughter comes after school, but can go in the plastic greenhouse, or home (ha, ha).
Dulce was helping me to learn to crochet a granny square, but we both gave up in the end.

This reminds me of the poem about Pooh bear
Whever I am there is always Dulce
There is always Dulce and me
What are you doing today
well I am doing it too (or something like that).
My little shadow.
Although do not appreciate his love scratch on my lip that wouldn't stop bleeding.

This cat is so clever, why does it know that it is Wednesday today and my granddaughter comes on a Wednesday when Mum goes out, and at exactly 3.30 pm that cat disappears.  My granddaughter does likes cats, and would never hurt him but he is terrified of children.  I take her home (grandchild) at 9 pm and Dulce is waiting for me at the front door when I get home.  Animals are not stupid, and my dog used to know when I got off the train at the station 10 minutes before I got home, and my partner used to know exactly when I got home, even if I varied the hours, if I went for a drink after work he didn't bother to get off the settee.
