I was told. Fred had been snuggled up against me for several hours. George sprinted into the bedroom, launched himself onto the bed, strode purposefully over to my bedside table & swiped a bottle of eye drops to the floor. GET UP!
Now they’re watching a courting couple of pigeons which have been swooping from one rooftop to the next with a great whirring of wings.
Pigeon landed close by in a fence. George hurled himself at our fence. Slid back down to the deck. No shame. George doesn’t do “embarrassed”.
😁. He was nowhere near them. Some cats cover their embarrassment with a quick wash. George just doesn’t care. I should be more like George. 😂
Yes….
I’ve learned a lot about orange cats in just over a year. Kind of like having lovable but challenging ADHD kids in your class. 😂
As a Redhead, I have to object to this racial stereotyping... Although, basically on no grounds whatsoever. 😆
😂 My deepest apologies! There is red hair in Partner’s family, but they tend to go grey very young.
Redhead here too. I started balding in my early 30s and have been shaving my head for at least the last 5 years (I'm 40 now)
Shaving my head mostly hides any gray, though parts of my beard and body hair are starting to turn.
The irony of balding at such a young age is that, in my youth, I was told by every hairdresser and barber, "wow you have such thick hair!"
Not anymore.
Except on my body. I got the curse of body hair 😂
The image shows a black mug designed to resemble a police box, specifically the TARDIS from the British science fiction series Doctor Who. The mug is placed on a kitchen countertop, and water is being poured into it from a kettle. In the background, there is a box of Tetley tea bags. The text overlay on the image reads, "I've been pouring in this damn thing for 45 minutes!" This suggests a humorous situation where the mug is taking a long time to fill. The mug's design includes details such as buttons and a door, mimicking the iconic appearance of the TARDIS. The countertop appears to be made of a light-colored material, possibly granite or a similar stone.
