It was the largest mixing bowl i could find, as been asked to cater puddings for 150 guests and make all rustic cakes including 'naked' wedding cakes, looks like i will have to buy another and try and fit it in a cupboard ! out of paws way :D

Yep Phoebe just fits in it,! after 2 years here,she doesn't quite look like a stray :D

LOL! Typical!

One of my Siamese used to sleep in a frying pan. Her proper name was Majdhar but her nickname was Gibbon (every meal was a case of a little Gibbon take) and she was never far from the scene of food preparation (for my next trick I'm going to put this bacon into this sandwich without my Gibbon taking it out!)

The cooker was one of those very ancient ones with the pilot light, and the frying pan was left on the hob (no close-down lids in those days.) It was a nice warm vantage point for a food-focused Gibbon. Anyone who's experienced an un-neutered tom will know that they can have a sebaceous greasy discharge known as 'stud tail' - well, the Gibbon ended up with a severe case of 'frying pan tail' lol. (She was NOT allowed near the cooker when cooking went on, mind - she sat on my shoulders, cawing angrily and treading painfully on my hair.)

I once heard of a Siamese who liked to roost right on top of an equally old fashioned cooker, with the eye level grill, with the air vents on the the top. Trouble was, this cat was prone to vomiting, and the sick ran through the air vents into the...well, you get the picture...

As the person who told me said, the owners never had grilled food for years. 'Well you wouldn't, would you?'

Nothing's changed. The other day I bought a griddle pan. The minute I put it down, my naughty Molly climbed into it and settled, smiling :lol:

With mine it's the airing cupboard, especially if there is a pile of clean laundry in there. :roll:

Gracie likes to snuggle into the INSIDE of the sofa. It's a recliner (that we have never dared to open) She has a nest in there. But she's so fat that it is getting a struggle to get in. You'll be sitting on the sofa and there is a lot of 'boinging' going on underneath you. :shock: :lol:

Purdy likes to sleep on daddy's head - like a Davy Crocket hat. He says he doesn't mind, but her tail tickles.
