Cat lover
Kitten circus
Step right up, folks, and welcome to the kitten circus. Also known as our garden. Because it’s kitten mayhem around here. I mentioned a while ago that a heavily pregnant cat had turned up in our garden and promptly given birth to three kittens in our summer...
Life lessons from our five (ish) cats
If you’ve been here a while you’ll know we’re mad cat people. And as any fellow mad cat person will know, cats are masters of the universe who are supremely confident in their own wonderfulness. Here are five ways we can all Be More Cat. Stretch Cats delight in a...
