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 [...]

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 [...]

Happy birthday, B!
It’s B’s birthday today and since she’s spending the week with her family in Oxfordshire, I thought I’d post some photos of the cats who are all missing her desperately (I’m merely the mug who feeds them. She’s their Human. Cats! Huh!) in the hopes of reminding her where she lives Happy birthday, B! Hurry [...]

Round-up
It’s been a busy few days Wormed the pigs this week. Used the injection Ivomectin, which does internal worms and external parasites. Stabbed myself as well several times, so I’m covered. Not easy to inject “under the skin” when your pigs don’t have very loose skin. Add that to the self-injecting and next time, I’m [...]

Dirty stop out!
I usually get home from the farm at around the same time every day (though it’s often later than usual, especially now that the evenings are so much lighter) and within five minutes of me walking in through the door, all the cats will be in through the window, yowling and wailing for their dinner. [...]

The cats felt left out
The cats have been complaining that I never post any photos of them. Since I’ve come home in the middle of the day to get the wrapping done, I thought I’d make an effort to keep the peace and take some photos:

Grumpy animals!
The dogs and cats are all sulking because they’ve had their food rations decreased. And when I say sulk, I mean sulk. I tried the dogs on a Chubb sausage thing and they devoured it. Even Snipe, who is a typical Labrador and just gulps down her food without pausing to chew, delicately picks out [...]
