A Cat A Day: 180/365

by

This lovely menagerie belongs to Caroline Bailey. The kitty is Miss Pearl and the Yorkie is Lily, and the larger dog is called Daisy. Caroline has another Yorkie, who is called Dolly, who is a bit smaller than Lily. They are so comfortable and harmonious, aren’t they? Childhood exposure to Tom & Jerry taught me that cats and dogs are enemies and I still find it amazing when they cuddle up like this. A little miracle in my eyes . . .

I hereby challenge Caroline to capture all her cats and dogs in a single photograph!

A Cat A Day: 179/365

Rosie doesn’t like me. She makes it very obvious by being lovely with everyone else and giving me mean looks and treating me with contempt. 

However, after I came back from Germany last week, she sniffed me thoroughly and then let me stroke her. I think my new post-Germany scent must be more acceptable, because now I’m allowed to pick her up and she even smarmed around my knees this morning.

I am encouraged.

When Rosie runs, her dangly flabby tummy swings from side to side. It’s hilarious to see and we’ve been trying to capture it on film since she came to live with us in December. This is John’s attempt from today, but sadly his camera isn’t very high quality. We need to get the Flip camera out and keep it handy.


Emma, I hope you aren’t offended, but Rosie’s jelly belly cheers me up every time I see it swing !

I have to acknowledge Wimbledon in this 365 day cycle. I’m not big on Great British institutions, but I do love Wimbledon. This is Alex Bellars’ kitten Skimbleshanks following Andy Murray’s progress in the 3rd round. As I write, it’s one set all between Murray and his opponent Ljubicic.

We all wish Ljubicic would put a hat on, because we don’t like the way the top of his head looks.

It’s been a challenge trying to get online to post this picture of a tiger at Cologne zoo today. Absolutely worn out after walking about 4 miles in the pouring rain. But I’m really impressed with how our pupils have stayed cheerful throughout.

I’m proud to say that I still haven’t missed a single day of my 365 Challenge since the 1st of January.
