A little picture of Alex Bellars’ kitty Skimbleshanks. I wonder where he is while Alex and his wife are on holiday in France at the moment?

A Cat A Day: 191/365
John brought an office chair home for Isobel, because we need to make sure she has a good workspace to do homework when she goes to Secondary school in September.
But … Malteser has decided it’s his and sleeps there all day. John is responsible for this (not-very-good-quality) video – is it cat-cruelty? I leave you to decide.

Honestly! I can’t leave them alone for a minute.
I have returned from London to find that in a moment of boredom, my husband has coloured in some of Malteser’s fur with a red felt tip. *sigh*Sent using BlackBerry?? from Orange

I’m sitting in my room at Imperial College in South Kensigton, a stone’s throw from the Royal Albert Hall and there is absolutely not a cat to be seen anywhere. Luckily I always have a spare feline photograph about my person, so here is a lovely picture of Willow making my bed his own last Sunday morning. Lovely boy.

I’ve been saving this up for a couple of days . . . It’s ……. JOHN THE THREE-LEGGED CAT !!!!!!
My brother Dan, who is a professional historical Live Interpreter and Historical Entertainer , is currently running his three-week-long annual event at Southsea Castle. This is what he told me:
“I’m in Southsea doing my usual summer Tudor time travel thing. We can’t live in the castle last year, so I’ve rented a house for the cast. The house seems to come complete with friendly local cat! He’s long haired enough that it actually took us a day or two of sightings to realise that he was missing a leg (you can’t tell when he’s curled up in the sun two back yards away!), at which point he was promptly named Three-Legged John (after a man hilariously tangentially referenced in Southsea Castle records).
3LJ seems angry a lot, but he’s actually only lashing his tail for balance. He’s very friendly and comes to visit whenever the back door is open. I’m sure this is nothing to do with the fact that we spoil him rotten with bacon and chicken treats!”

Sarah McCarthy’s next-door-neighbour cat seems to be keen on a trip to the supermarket, seaside or garden centre. Most cats I know run at top speed in the opposite direction from cars . . .
I strongly suspect this is a Lilac Point Siamese or Oriental of some kind. I’ll have to ask Sarah to do some detective work.

I’ve been to Y11’s Prom this evening. It was a lovely occasion and I will miss so very many of my pupils. I left a little early, because I was starting to get sentimental.
But I didn’t leave without pocketing a beautiful cupcake and I’m now enjoying it with a cup of tea in my new Hello Kitty mug.
That’s the best cat I can offer you today . . .

One of @Rantingteacher’s four cats Mehefin, familiarly addressed as MevMev, enjoying the sunshine curled up on a plant pot of heather. As one does.

Hullo. My name is Patchy. I am a rock star. Hey, I’ve got this cool puzzle (see if you can do it):
Q – Who is the coolest most awesome cat in the world?
A – PAT_ HY (Hint: C)
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool. Oh, and so is my brother, Sooty. He wanted to be in the picture, too, but unfortunately, he couldn’t make it
(evil grin).
(evil grin).
I received this message this morning and felt I had no alternative but to bring Patchy to you immediately. It was the evil grin which convinced me . . .
I wonder what kept Sooty back?? Locked in a cupboard, trapped under Patchy’s paw . . . ??
