One day in 1970, my parents went out to buy a Siamese cat and came home with two. Siamese have been part of my life much of the time since. Today’s picture shows brothers Hershey (at the front) and Pushkin who were the first Siamese which ever belonged just to me. Sadly, Hershey died in July 2009, but Pushkin is still around, getting fur all over the place.
A celebrity cat today!! Scatty, who lives with Dughall McCormick, has her own Twitter account: @dughallscat. Here, she’s modelling a MacBook, for which she clearly has a great affection. How beautifully her eyes go with the impressively orange carpet.
There has been a murder! Hello Kitty has been kidnapped, eviscerated and had her arms ripped off. I have two prime suspects . . . and they’re the new kids round here.
More on this story later.

Today’s guest cat photographs were taken by my mum, from whom I inherited my respect and admiration for cats. These two Burmese kittens belong to friends of hers and my stepfather’s. One is called Ginger and the other is Pickles. No mystery which is which.
John snapped today’s guest cat through his office window.

Poorly Teddy and I are stuck at home today. Malteser has to be in on the cuddles.

This is Nyamuk, my first guest cat.
Nyamuk belongs to my friend Alex and seems to be taking advantage of a pile of clothes Alex hasn’t got round to putting away. Alex needs to find a home for his left-over Christmas wrapping paper too. . . (glad he can’t see my house).

A quick snap of the little kink at the end of Willow’s tail. It’s not an unusual quirk in Siamese cats, but Willow is the first kinky-tailed cat to enter my life.
