"Hygiene regulations" I would expect, though if he only went into the outer porch area I doubt that'd stand up, if he went behind the meat counter, though...

He's probably cleaner than some of the staff??

Certainly  better presented than some of the barely evolved life-forms that deliver takeaways in this area.

Agreed.  But the PR value of not licking our own @rses in the Tesco vegetable aisle once again carries the day😉

 

Probably due to incompetent management, not able to do @rse-licking for themselves.....or find suitable employees to do same?

Having once delivered pizza and seen some of the others in the delivery field, I can sympathize with you.

5 months down the road with Venus. She has had the complete run of the house for the last couple of months and most night now, she sleeps in my bedroom. Still quite nervous, but she will often follow me around the house and sit near me when I am modelling, on the computer, reading or watching TV.

Progress @JZ.

 

We had a kitten arrive that was similarly nervous and only now after 30 months will Smokie allow or even encourage being stroked.  Small steps but it can take  a long time.

Now I'm retired, I have even more time in the house for her to get used to me.

Cooking Fats!

I've an unplaned length of 2x2 by the door to chez 6T (along with other woodworking round-tuits & come in handy reserves). I don't doubt both Mia and Remedee have at it to cleanse their murder mittens occasionally but one of them had managed to pull the thing down and prevent the door opening fully. I had to go out to the shed and used a knackered towel rail heater element to lever the wood away from the door before I could get in!

I looked out of the bedroom window earlier tk see Johnny on the garage roof, he’s not normally a climber so was surprise to see him there

 

there’s no show without punch and when I called him Hank popped his head up from the shed roof!

 

That then both just sat down staring at me 

Handsome boys 😀

I took Marley for a stroll down to the woods earlier. He had a great time. Here's a few snaps from the jaunt:

Now, if you wanted to illustrate the word 'purposeful'...

 

(Or should that be purr-puss-full?)

Does Marley like to be cuddled?

Every time you post pictures of Marley, he reminds me of our Pooh, although Pooh isnt actually black.   He is just such a dark brown you only notice it in certain lights.  He's also camera shy and I don't have as many photos of him I I do of the others.  THis was him as  a kiten, about 3 years ago.

Jette was like that. When still in her kitten fur if the light hit her right she was obviously a very dark brown and you could even make out tabby stripes on her.

I believe that becomes less noticeable when the adult fur comes in.

For those who read and helpfully replied to my post about a neighbour’s missing cat, an update.  Her cat returned last night, just as some of you indicated would most likely happen.  She has lost weight but seems ok and is going to the vets today for a check up.  Again, thanks for those replies.

Probably just got accidentally shut in a garage or shed somewhere and shot out as soon as the opportunity arose.  They will wander off for an explore and can't always remember the way back.  I still remember when Gnipper was lost and we had a call from somebody outside the area we had put up missing cat notices and they'd been feeding him in their back garden - he had crossed not only the busy A505 but also the 4-track ECML.

In line with the above "line blockage", I used to have internet problems:

My Sally was the same, though in her case you could always see the tabby markings if you held her up so that the sunlight shone through her fur.  She also got a bit lighter in her old age.  Whether this was age related or just her lying in the sun a lot bleaching her fur, I don't know!
