The #jellybellyfriday shop is open for business - pop in and browse Gizmo’s extensive range of floof for rubbing! 😹😹🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lying on his back with his floofy belly exposed ready for rubs! Cats aren’t supposed to like that but he’s always keen to flip over and be tickled! He’s lying on a grey/silver/white rug and his head is at the top of the picture - his front snow dipped paws are pulled into his chest and his head is tilted to the left. There’s a slight curve from there as his soft lighter orange/cream belly floof takes over all the way down to his tail. His tail then changes direction and goes off to the left of the bottom of the picture. The tail is thick, long and floofy - mainly orange but there’s a splash of white near the end. Which is about a foot and a half away from his floofy butt!

Their goth rock band would be “The Furs” and they would cover songs like Lovecats (The Cure) and adapt songs like All Cats are Orange (The Cure) and Cat Scratch Yowl (Ted Nugent). Their newest album would be I Can’t Get No Tuna Action. 😹😹🦁🦁

A classic album cover shot from the boys for #ThrowbackThursday - what do you think the title would be and what type of music would they have made? 😹😹🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Buddy and Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cats are together on a warm beige coloured carpet looking like they’re on an album cover. Buddy is in the foreground of the picture on the right hand side and we can see his majestic floof up close - sweeping white chest fur from under his chin down the floor he’s lying on. There’s a snow dipped paw edge just peeking out of the floof on the left as we look at the picture. His ears are set flatter than Gizmo’s but they still have the familiar orange tips! His eyes have more of an orange hue than Gizmo’s green. Gizmo is in the background on the left of the picture and slightly out of focus but he’s giving his brother a funny look. Maybe Buddy let out a little toot from the end facing Gizmo to keep him at bay 😹😹

Gizmo is practising for his 2025 Halloween costume - can you guess what he might be dressing up as?? 😹😹🦁🦁 #tongueouttuesdays #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is giving us his very best lion impression as he lounges in his purple cat bed. He’s got a full roar going on and has his mouth wide open! His two top canine teeth are visible - they’re probably 2cm long and very sharp. If you would like a more accurate measurement feel free to come along and try yourself. No finger loss you incur will be deemed the fault of management 😹😹 He’s got a big pink tongue in the bottom part of his mouth and his bottom teeth are obscured. Gizmo has his front right leg extended out of the bed and his left snow dipped paw is resting on the edge of it. His eyes are closed mid-roar and his white chest coat is fluffed up, adding to the whole lion piece! He looks fiercesome but he’s a big softy!

The Gizmo loaf isn’t happy his table has been compromised by the @taskmaster advent calendar and Dadmin’s birthday cards 😹😹🦁🦁 #kittyloafmonday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is loafing on a dark wood dining table which features a red box forming the Taskmaster (UK TV show) advent calendar which arrived as a fun festive treat ready for advent in December! We see about half of the box in the bottom portion of the picture. On the left side of the box is the Taskmaster himself aka comedian Greg Davies. He is sitting on a gold throne and has a green Christmas cracker hat on his head. He’s wearing dark rimmed glasses and a black suit and has his fingers pressed together. There’s a green holly garland in the top left corner of the box and text in white saying “As seen on Channel 4” and part of a white envelope with TASK written in black writing. And just to Gizmo’s right is the back of a birthday card which is black with Star Wars in white writing. Gizmo himself is resplendent in orange with his big ears reaching for the sky with their orange tips!

Another new box for Gizmo - this one is staying in the dining room so his box empire covers more rooms in the house 😹😹🦁🦁 #catboxsunday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lying in a cardboard box on a dark wooden floor. The box is white and the lid is open at the bottom left of the picture. Gizmo’s right snow dipped paw is pressed on the edge of the box and he’s got his head up looking to the right. His big fluffy orange tail runs along the whole of the bottom edge of the box at the lid end. His tail has light fur at the outside and darker orange fur in the middle.

While mum and Dadmin wrestle with jet lag, Gizmo is taking full advantage and catching up on nap time with mum too!

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

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lying stretched out and fast sleep on mum’s lap. Mum isn’t visible apart from the black hooded top that Gizmo has parked himself on top of. She actually has her legs up on the recliner but Gizmo is so big you can’t see! He’s got his left leg reaching up to hug his mum as well because he’s a total mummy’s boy! It’s Dadmin for playtime and mum for snuggles in this house! His coat has waves in it from this angle (head at the left of the pic, back end right) looks like a sea of orange! In the background is the feature wall with a fireplace, large TV showing houses somewhere in the sun and various cubby holes where lots of different trinkets live. They’re not fully focused unless zoomed in but amongst them there’s a red Lego love sign, a sign saying Prosecco Palace anx a Lego house from the movie Up complete with balloons attached to the roof!

Gizmo is giving robust feedback that it’s him who should be in focus and not his big floofy paws! 😹😹🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lying on a grey throw which covers the back of the couch with his long legs stretched out ahead of him. The legs have dark orange tabby stripes and at the end of those legs are two giant snow dipped paws. Gizmo is an indoor lion so they really are as white as snow! Gizmo’s face is slightly out of focus as this was taken in portrait mode and so his head is a bit further back! He’s got his mouth partially open in a little roar and it appears he’s giving thoughts on the picture…or he’s annoyed at being disturbed. With his piercing green eyes he does look fierce but he’s a big softy really! Behind Gizmo is a wall with silver/grey wallpaper with a square patterned effect. Just to the left further behind is the kitchen but other than warm light coming from it you can’t see much in there due to the focus.

A very handsome and regal loaf from Gizmo today - just out of shot is Dadmin keeping his highness at the correct temperature with one of those big leaf fans and of course a selection of treats 😹😹🦁🦁 #kittyloafmonday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is in the loaf position (front paws tucked underneath and hidden by his expensive white chest fur) on a grey/silver/white rug. He has a very regal and serene look on his face as he relaxes. His green eyes have a warmer glow in the evening light from when this picture was taken. His long white whiskers are on full display as well along with his always fabulous large pointy ears - light coloured fur lined with the orange tips! In the background of the picture behind Gizmo are two cardboard boxes - one with black panelling on the left and a standard brown one on the right. A wall mounted feature fireplace can be seen giving off a warm orange glow just like Gizmo! Lights are also giving off a glow from shelving on the feature wall where on the far left we can just about make out a sign with black writing on a grey background which says “Prosecco Palace”.

The Lego box is made of tough stuff - it’s still hanging in there despite many pounds of Maine Coon pressure! 😹😹

Happy #catboxsunday! 😸😸🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lying inside a cardboard box with some sun shining in an unseen window which is lighting up the end of his floofy tail! The box is from a Lego model and has black panelling on its edges with white writing detailing the box contents. The writing is too small to read so it’s blurred. Gizmo himself is looking down towards the floor with green eyes. His large pointy ears with their orange tips are also partially backlit by the sun.

Thank goodness the clock is so massive we can still see the time when Gizmo stands in front of it 😹😹

Happy #Caturday everyone! 😸😸🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is standing on the head rest of a brown leather sofa and is in front of a massive wall mounted clock hung up behind him. The clock has Roman numerals and there are metal gears/cogs at the centre of it. The clock face is a light black finish and the outer rim is a large circular frame which has a dark yellow golf style sheen in the light coming from an unseen lamp. The background wallpaper is silver patterned effect with lines making square tiles as a design.

And Gizmo himself is golden orange - dark tabby stripes run along the side of his coat, mainly centred around his legs. He’s looking off camera to his mum who’s sitting unseen on the sofa - this back of the couch route is one of his favourites to wander along and climb down onto mum’s lap!

If you started walking from Gizmo’s paws at 12pm you’d arrive at the end of his tail at 12pm…the next day! 😹😹

Have a great weekend everyone and if you’re in the path of #StormAmy as we are then stay safe! 😸😸🦁🦁 #jellybellyfriday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

This is an overhead shot of Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat stretched in a superman pose on a dark wooden floor…typically giant cat stuff really! He’s on his side and vertical in the picture so his front legs with their dipped paws are at the top of the picture reaching out ahead of him then we follow the line of his floofy body in an arc - creamy floofy tummy fur meeting orange floof on his side then his tail sticks out to the left at an almost 90° angle from his butt. His back legs and their more generously snow dipped paws are then stretched out further to the bottom of the picture. He’s filled it from top to bottom - rough size is about 3.5ft. No banana for scale sadly 😹😹🍌🍌

Cuteness and brotherly love personified! 🧡🧡🦁🦁 #ThrowbackThursday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

This is a throwback picture from 2022 of Buddy and Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cats lounging together in a red cat bed. Buddy is on the left and has his cute kitten face which he never really lost - his ears are wider apart and sit a little lower than Gizmo’s epic examples but Buddy shares the familiar orange tips. Gizmo’s tail wraps round the front of the bed, covering his own snow dipped back paw which is partially visible along with some pink toe beans. The bed itself is a collection of orange floof coats and white chest fur from both brothers - it looks soft enough to dive into! 🧡🧡🦁🦁

Gizmo is very intently making sure his prize catch doesn’t escape…again! 😹😹🦁🦁 #whiskerswednesday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is focused as he lies on a grey/silver/white rug holding on to a captured cat toy. It’s a purple fabric dangly toy which has been caught underneath his two giant fluffy snow dipped paws - it was play time till he pinned it down and now he’s making sure it doesn’t go anywhere! His face is full of focus and his green eyes are concentrating hard to stop any further movement if the paws fail for any reason 😹😹 Gizmo’s long white whiskers are proudly on display too along with his big pointy ears with their orange tips.

You might wonder how he even gets his ears through the gap but Gizmo’s cat shape shifting skills mean it’s easy to get into small spaces even when you’re his size! 😹😹🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is cosied up in a cube at the bottom of his cat tree! It’s enclosed with a single square opening at the front and he’s looking out. At first glance the opening doesn’t seem big enough to allow a cat of his size through but he’s quite happily curled up inside with his big fluffy orange tail wrapped round him. The cat tree and cube have cream coloured fabric covering them and on top of the cube is a red American style road sign which says “Maine Coon Dr”.

Another stylish loaf from Gizmo as he ponders whether he should eat the noisy builders down the street or use them as playthings. Then eat them 😹😹🦁🦁 #kittyloafmonday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is in the loaf position (lying down with front paws tucked out of sight) on a grey/silver/white rug. He’s looking off to the right of the picture. The fur on the side of his face has a warm orange glow in the autumnal daylight and darker orange tabby markings are visible with one running from the corner of his green eye in a wave down towards his neck. His long white chest fur is like snow and is the bright centre of his front surrounded by more orange! And as always his large pointed ears are upright with their orange tips…listening to annoying construction noises from down the street which are disturbing his peace and quiet!

Gizmo is loving life in the big box! Hope everyone has a nice relaxing #catboxsunday! 😸😸🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is lounging in a large brown cardboard box which is much more spacious than the usual ones he frequents! It’s mainly his fluffy face on display - his green eyes shine brightly and his large pointy ears look swish as always with their light fur lining and orange tips! The dark orange tabby stripes which for the letter M on his head stand out nicely against the lighter surrounding orange fur and white of the top half of his chest fur which is showing.

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is sitting on a dark wood floor and in front of his head to the left is his mum’s left hand holding a yellow post-it note which says “Gizmo T Destroyer Woz Ere” with an arrow pointing down. It was over his head till he moved it 😹😹 Gizmo’s orange coat looks shiny and glossy and we can see his long white whiskers as he gets his nose up to the note. His green eyes are looking to the side and his large pointy ears are heading sideward instead of their usual reach for the sky as he tries to act all innocent but he knows what he did!

A partial upwards #jellybellyfriday from Gizmo as he rises up from the floor to have a good old scritch on the post! And there’s a bonus Buddy in the background watching over his brother’s antics! 🧡🧡🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is partially stood up at the side of a scratching post. Normally he’s taller than it but the picture caught him mid-rise to the top! We can see part of his creamy orange tummy floof tumbling downwards. To the right in the background is a display shelf on the feature wall and inside a glittery photo frame with a rainbow ladder at its side is a picture of Gizmo’s much missed brother Buddy sitting up looking magnificent sitting up in front of the Christmas tree.

#ThrowbackThursdays to 2017 and the lions of the living room Serengeti watching and waiting for an unsuspecting gazelle or antelope to walk by! Didn’t have the heart to tell them they were in for a long wait here in Scotland 😹😹🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

This is a picture from 2017 of Buddy and Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cats lying on top of separate perches on their cream cat tree. Both cats are facing left with their back ends to a large patio window. Gizmo is on the perch closest to camera and his white chest coat is in full lion mode - it’s very floofy and puffed up! His right front leg is dangling down. On the next perch above him is Buddy. He has his paws pulled in at the edge and his large fluffy orange tail drapes down behind, disappearing behind his brother. They are both looking like proper focused lions ready to tackle lunch!
