Ella the tabby is my first Northern Irish cat. She lives with Amanda Salt and her family in Belfast. Ella was found as a 4-month-old kitten abandoned at Amanda’s school and no-one came forward to claim her, so Amanda brought her home. Look how beautifully and smartly she is posing for this pretty photograph!

I brought yummy treats home from TeachMeet Tees last night. After she assiduously licked a case clean, we have subsequently discovered that Rosie likes cupcakes.

This beautiful close-up picture of Bertie the cat was sent to me by April, one of my Y11 pupils. I was chatting to her today and she described the enormous menagerie she and her family look after at home. I’m hoping that she’ll manage to send me a picture of Bertie with a chicken, goat or horse before the end of the year. Go on April, I’ll give you another jaffa cake!

This beautiful pink-nosed lady is named Mrs Duffle. She belongs to a Scottish lady called Simone who was recently amazed when Mrs D. returned after disappearing a year before. I wonder where on earth she had been? And how delighted must Simone and her family have felt when she turned up? Apparently the cat needs re-socialising, so perhaps she was living wild. My best suggestion is that Simone is patient and gentle. I send my very best wishes for a happy future together.

Tonight I bring you Ted attempting to use the laptop to watch YouTube videos of 1970’s football matches with Rosie and Malteser.

I wanted to bring a new face to my blog, so I appealed to friends. Caroline Bailey almost instantly sent me a picture of Mr Danny, who belongs to her friend Judith. He’s a half-persian cross and is 16 years old. I love his tufty fur.
Thanks Caroline and Judith.

Neither Malteser nor I feel like staying up late. I have a busy week ahead; I suspect he doesn’t.

Not a great photo really, but I’m so tired I just called for cats in the daft voice one uses. Cosmo arrived first. I grabbed him and used the laptop camera to take the picture. He escaped as quickly as he could.
