My house will never be featured in a Homes & Gardens magazine. In fact, it’s more likely to be in a Health & Safety Executive magazine about the dangers of poor domestic hygiene. John was trying to go to bed when Percy climbed onto his shoulder, because he desperately needed to attack a cobweb.

My friend Jo, Milka and Florence’s breeder, sent me an email the other day with some great pictures of two more of her kittens in their new home. However, although I saved the photographs, I can’t track down the email. Consequently, I don’t know the names of these kittens or their Bassett hound friend. However, I do remember that Rosa is doing well, her skin is nearly healed and she loves being back at home.

I will tell you the names of these pets when I post the second photograph.

Over the last few days, I have acquired a few guest photographs from kind people. However, after I received this picture of Katie’s cat Bella watching the tennis from the opening day of Wimbledon, I just had to use it today.

To Jo, Susie and Helen – thank you for your photographs and they will appear in the next few days. I appreciate you thinking of me and my pointless feline activities.

The kittens were wrestling this morning. There is nothing vicious about their fights; the only sound to be heard is a little heavy breathing. Long experience has taught me that heart-felt fights, based on true enmity are loud when Siamese are involved.

I have come across a wonderful Siamese cat blog tonight. I’m proud to say several of my daft posts were liked by the author of baileyboatcat.com. The amazing and adventurous Bailey splits his life between a flat in Nice and a boat harboured near Rome. He is an experienced sailor, who has handled one or two dips in the sea with great aplomb and sports his beautiful blue life jacket with style and panache.

I have asked Bailey if he would like to be a guest cat on this blog. I hope he can find a window for me in his schedule. In the meantime, I have enquired if he is ‘un chat bilingue’. Writing from North East England, Bailey seems to me to have the ultimate kitty/filmstar life.
