Isobel’s hand and Cosmo. You can sort of tell how huge he is on this picture.

A Cat A Day: 320/365
I can hear Barney shouting when I look at this photograph. He belongs to Laura, a colleague of mine.

Cosmo, me and my new spectacles. Posts very brief at the moment.

It looks as if Malty wants to tell Cosmo something.

The cold weather is on its way. Isn’t it time you made your cat wear a jumper? Our model today is Caroline Bailey’s cat Jasper, wearing Caroline’s Yorkshire Terrier’s jumper. You may think it’s unkind, but I’m very hard-hearted when it comes to dressing cats up; I just think it’s funny.

We went for a walk along Seaton Carew beach this afternoon. It was overcast, but a really mild day. The cat is John’s work of art. Teddy named the cat Whiskers and has written its name underneath, if you look carefully.

Rosie and Malteser as I found them asleep together when I came downstairs this morning. I think Malty is smiling.

My beastly children locked themselves in the bathroom with Willow, who didn’t want to be there. He looks unhappy in his photograph and you can listen to his pitiful (very un-Siamese) miaows too, if you want.

My brother Dan was having a clear-out recently and he sent me this old picture of our lovely cat Steve McQueen. You can read the story of her miraculous arrival in our lives here.
Steve’s story ends sadly. She went missing and we worried about her for a week. One evening, a neighbour knocked and we learned he’d found her dead, locked into his summer house. We don’t know if she was ill and crept in there, or if she died of dehydration and hunger. It makes me tearful to think about it, even over 20 years later.

On Sunday, I brought you a picture of Frank the cat using Twitter. As a matter of pride, I feel that I have to point out that my own cat Cosmo is also familiar with social networking. This photograph from August 2009 shows him helping me to use Twitter.
Reminds me, I’m soooo glad that evil textured wallpaper has gone.
