Seeing Mac and Horatio earlier this week, I realised that I’d forgotten how cats manage to make themselves both cuddly and sleek at exactly the same time, though when it came to giving Mac belly-rubs, I was relieved to discover that I’d lost none of my timing vis-a-vis the getaway…! I miss having cats around. [...]

Online … at home!
I spent yesterday and today up in Oxfordshire, visiting B (my ex) and the cats, Mac and Horatio, who are looking sleek and positively radiant. It was lovely to the boys – and B! – and we spent a lovely evening curled up in front of the TV, stuffing our faces with curry and watching [...]

Horatio goes to the vet!
When I got up yesterday morning, it quickly became clear that all was not well with Horatio, B’s soft and cuddly cat. He couldn’t put his near foreleg to the ground, though an inspection failed to reveal the cause: no heat, no swelling, no obvious injuries, no bites or cuts… He still wasn’t using it [...]

A law unto themselves
As you would expect, our three cats have differing and distinct personalities. Queenie keeps herself to herself, fighting off unwanted attention but never able to get enough … when she’s in the mood! Horatio is a softie, gentle, loving and sweet. Mac is a hunter, as much of a cat’s cat as it’s possible to [...]

When Mac went missing
Last week, my two year old black cat, Mac, gave us quite a scare when he didn’t come home one night. Mac’s the kind of cat whose life and its timings are ruled by his belly so he is always home for his dinner, usually within a few minutes of us walking through the door. [...]

Looking back at (a sunny) July 2008
I seem to have lost my blogging mojo so I thought I’d post some photos from last year, back when the sun was something warm, comforting and familiar, not a distant memory like it has been this July! Maybe August will see the sun return – and with it, my blogging inspiration!

As it rains, so I return indoors to the blog!
Sorry about the absence, I took advantage of the glorious weather to be a busy bee outside and have rather neglected the blog of late. So much has been going on, I thought I’d cheat and do a photo update of some of the highlights (yes, yes, I know that you know this is because [...]

Pigs and cats on YouTube
On Wednesday, when the heavens opened and my animals started pairing up and staring at their arks in anticipation, B and I hid indoors and indulged in some YouTube surfing. I can’t resist the urge to share these two videos with you. Enjoy!

Looking back
It’s been a while since I posted any photos from our year living at my mother’s smallholding in West Wales, so I thought I’d break my blogging silence (no reason, just busy) with some of my favourites pics. There are quite a few, sorry about that!

The very best of friends!
Snipe and Mac, best friends for ever! Oh, and if you’re wondering, Snipe’s box bed fell apart so we’re trying out her proper bed again. It only works if I lift the sleeping bag out of her bed in the kitchen, otherwise she sleeps the night there. It’s not really a problem, apart from the [...]
