This mad-looking feline lives with my science-teacher colleague, Kendra Wade. Kendra is extremely pregnant at the moment; indeed, today is her due date. But still no baby on the scene.

Whenever Junior does put in an appearance. Blacky is going to be even madder than in this picture. Cats are initially baffled and outraged by newborn babies in my experience. This is what Kendra tells me about Blacky: “He is 16 and still partial to catching the odd catnip fish on a string…Normally he’s far too happy on the back of the sofa though…”

Good luck Kendra and I hope your baby comes soon and safely!!
