🌈 Buddy 🌈 & Gizmo 🦁🦁

A close up of Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat perched as comfy as he likes on a grey throw which sits on the back of the sofa. There is a warm blue hue to the picture which comes from the LED backlight on the TV which is not seen in the picture. Gizmo is looking at the TV so there may have been some interesting things like birds or gazelles catching his eye! His ears and orange tufts at the tip each ear are the real stars of this picture. The ears are almost as big as his head and with the tips extended he could probably tickle the moon! A small part of a snow dipped paw can be seen poking out from underneath his chest coat which has taken on the blue glow coming from the LED light.

Gizmo’s ears and their fabulous tufts need clearance from air traffic control when he goes up on the back of the sofa 😹😹🦁🦁 #tufttuesday #teamfloof #CatsOfTwitter

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lying in the doorway of an upside down cardboard box which has a brown panel with green patches. The box was turned upside down and had a door cut into it to see what Gizmo did and he’s made himself quite at home! He’s in the loaf position (head up, front paws tucked away out of sight) and looks very chilled out! He’s even brought one of his toys to the party box as a pink/purple woolly toy is at his paws.

Gizmo is in love with his new box! Making a loaf at the door does also suggest it’s how he bakes himself 😹😹🦁🦁 #kittyloafmonday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

He’ll let us put them in then insist it happens all over again 😹😹🦁🦁

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is triumphantly atop a large cardboard box which is upside down with a door cut into the green coloured side panel. This was done to create a fun play space for Gizmo to hide in and of course he’s decided the roof is better 😹😹 Gizmo covers the top of the box and he’s looking at the camera with his mouth slightly open - he was letting out excited meows to let us know what he’d done! His long fluffy orange tail hands over the left side and there’s a Superman toy in the familiar heroic red and blue colours on the right side. The box is on a grey/silver/white rug in front of a large set of glass doors looking out to the back garden.

Cut a door in the box to make a snug wee den and of course this is what Gizmo does. He marches to the beat of his own drum! 😹😹🦁🦁 #catboxsunday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

It’s #Caturday which apparently means remove every toy from the drawer one by one 😹😹🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is fast asleep on his back with his long floofy belly exposed while lying on Dadmin. A very unique shot as Gizmo usually prefers mum’s lap but also lying on his back is unusual - it’s a real sign of trust from him! His belly floof is a mixture of lighter orange and cream fur - he has both front legs pointing straight out ahead of him so we can see one giant snow dipped paw with its pink toe beans at the bottom right of the picture. Dadmin is wearing a black Deadpool and Wolverine hooded top which features the characters in their trademark red/black (Deadpool) and yellow (Wolverine) superhero uniforms.

A unique moment captured here…Gizmo is mainly a mum lap cat but he settled onto Dadmin and did this! Ultimate sign of trust laying on his back and exposing his floofy belly while sleeping.

Have a great weekend pals! 😸😸🧡🧡🦁🦁 #jellybellyfriday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

A portrait head shot of our much missed Buddy the orange Maine Coon cat. He’s looking right into the camera and is so silky smooth he looks like he’s in soft focus. He really was the most handsome lion. His orange fur has a warm almost angelic glow about it and his snowy white chest coat is so smooth it looks like pristine snow on the mountainside. His eyes are more of an orange/green mix than just green like Gizmo. His nose is pink and he has beautiful straight white whiskers. His ears never pointed as straight up as Gizmo but they came with the famous orange tips!

Normally on #ThrowbackThursday I post a picture of the boys together but this one of Buddy stopped me in my tracks today…which was what he always did when he was here. Eternally handsome and cute…we all miss him so much 🧡🧡🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Thanks pals!! 🧡🧡🦁🦁

Close up with a head (and paws) shot of Gizmo the orange Maine Coon lounging on the cream coloured top plinth of his cat tree. Gizmo is looking down upon us mere mortals with his intense green eyes like the king he is! His left snow dipped paw is dangling over the edge and has soft white fur spilling over. His long white whiskers are curled at the edges and his orange coat looks glowing and luscious!

Gizmo is in his Disney era today - he’s gone full lord of the jungle / Lion King! 😸😸🦁🦁 #WhiskersWednesday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

A close picture of a massive snow white paw with pink toe beans belonging to Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat. The main paw is side on as we look at the picture with the top four toe beans on the right side. Each bean is enveloped in soft white fur which is a feature of the breed - perfect for patrolling the snowy woods of Maine! One of his back paws is resting against it - this was taken as Gizmo lay upside down on Dadmin. In the beckgeiun on the left another full Gizmo leg is lain across Dadmin’s leg. Dadmin is wearing shorts but we can only see his knee and some of his lower right leg due to the giant cat on his lap 😹😹

Toe beans to make everyone go “squeeeeee”!

Perfect pink pieces of perfection! 😸😸🧡🧡🦁🦁 #toebeantuesday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lying in the loaf position (front legs and paws tucked out of sight) on a grey/silver/white rug. His green eyes are casting a glance off to the left of the picture as we look at it. His white chest coat creates a snowy border between either side of warm orange. His ever present large pointy ears and their wonderful orange tips are standing tall and alert. On his head between those ears are darker orange tabby stripes which form what looks like a letter M.

Another picture perfect #KittyLoafMonday! 😸😸🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

We’ve got a reputation to maintain especially locally as the granite for the Olympic and international competition stones are sourced from Ailsa Craig which is 50 miles away and the stones themselves are finished at a place a mere 17 miles down the road 🥌🥌🦁🦁

The next generation are coming…our coverage gave out a website for anyone wanting to try curling and it crashed! 😹😹🦁🦁

We were glued to it last night…what a tense game! The guys have won so much - we were happy for our Canadian pals too! 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🧡🧡🦁🦁

We were cheering for Canada! So close to the gold…Gizmo would definitely stop pucks! 🧡🧡🦁🦁

His meow is so loud nobody leaves a message as they have to attend to their bleeding ears 😹😹🦁🦁

A close up shot of Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat in a red Nike trainer box. His head is sticking out the right hand side and we get a good look at his green eyes, cute little nose and white muzzle. He looks huge here but that’s not just because we’re so close - he’s just a massive Maine Coon!

I really should contact Nike about a sponsorship deal for Gizmo 😹😹🦁🦁 #catboxsunday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Always! It’s an honour not to be refused! 🧡🧡🦁🦁

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is curled up on mum’s lap enjoying a lazy Saturday! He’s almost wrapped right round himself - gotta love that flexible cat spine and of course being so long helps too! We are looking down on Gizmo from mum’s perspective - his head is in the middle of his orange floof and can really only be properly identified by the large pointy ears rising up from the floof like majestic orange tipped mountains! Mum’s legs can’t even be seen as Gizmo dominates the scene! 😸😸

#Caturday is all about mum and Gizmo time! 🧡🧡🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lying on a grey/silver/white rug and is on his back looking up at the camera. He has his right snow dipped paw stretched forward and it looks like he’s giving us a wave! His belly floofy is long enough to lose your hand in or hide another regular cat in 😹😹 The tummy floof is a lighter creamy orange. As his head is angled to the side Gizmo’s large pointy ears and their orange tips are also leaning sideways.

A big paw wave from Gizmo wishing everyone a happy #JellyBellyFriday and a great weekend ahead! 😸😸🧡🧡🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Always knew who’d killed a spider because if I found one mashed it had met Gizmo. Buddy enjoyed a spider snack so no clean up 😹😹🦁🦁

Never met him, what a cutie! 🧡🧡🦁🦁

Buddy and Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cats are lying together on a grey long pile rug and both are staring intently at something we humans probably couldn’t see amongst the pile! Buddy in particular has a face full of focus and as he was more a creature hunter and killer than his brother I’m taking a guess there’s a wee beastie with multiple legs under scrutiny! Both boys have warm orange coats with white chest fur. Gizmo is on the left of the picture and Buddy is on the right.

I’m not really a betting man but based on the focused faces I’d wager a few pennies that there’s a creature such as a spider under observation here 😹😹🦁🦁 #ThrowbackThursday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

A picture of Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat sitting up and looking every floofy inch like the poster boy for his breed! Starting from the top down we have the big pointy ears lined with lighter fur and topped by orange tips which look very sharp in this light. We then have green eyes which are bright and curious and a white muzzle which has long white whiskers extending from each side. Underneath his head there’s a patch of snowy white fur on his chest which is surrounded by warm orange floof sweeping to the floor.

I asked Gizmo to strike a pose for #WhiskersWednesday and he did! Always the professional when it comes to photos 😹😹🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

It’s incredible isn’t it? Gizmo had a bit shaved on his belly for an ultrasound but like Charlie he’s so amazingly floofy you can’t actually see it without diving in 😹😹🦁🦁

Absolutely would not mess with these two 😹😹🦁🦁

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is looking extra handsome and golden today! He’s lying on the rug with his head up and his coat looks soft and shiny. There is a small piece of fur shaved from his right leg where he had an IV drip last week due to feeling a bit under the weather and the floof on the leg around it is really thick so this shows just how floofy his coat is! Apart from that he’s as fluffalicious as ever - beautiful orange fur with darker tabby stripes and a snowy white chest coat. He’s all better now so his green eyes are bright and alert!

Boss cat back on top form! 😸😸🦁🦁

Can you see the tiny shaved bit of leg where his IV was? Look at the floof around it - shows how thick his coat is! #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

More than likely!! 😹😹🦁🦁

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is having a lovely nap on mum’s lap while she also grabs a cheeky nap herself! Mum is wearing a black Oodie top (oversize fluffy indoor hooded top, ideal cat bed 😹😹) He’s in the loaf position with his front paws tucked away. His eyes are closed and his large pointy ears which are most often pointed skywards and alert are in a more relaxed position as he completely relaxes on the person he trusts most in the world. It’s not that Dadmin isn’t trustworthy, he’s a bit bouncy and is harder to pin down 😹😹 In the background we have a view of the left side of the living room with part of the feature fireplace and display shelves.

Gizmo and mum are two sleepy peas in a pod…look at him making the perfect loaf while they nap together! 😸😸🧡🧡🦁🦁 #KittyLoafMonday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

two men are standing next to each other on a city street . one of the men is thor and the other is loki . ALT: two men are standing next to each other on a city street . one of the men is thor and the other is loki .

Funny you should say that - Thor and Loki were my name choices but I was overruled 😹😹 They were both such good matches - Buddy was definitely Thor and Gizmo is 100% mischief so of course he was Loki! 😸😸🦁🦁
