I have been struggling with a cold since Friday. When I haven’t been drama-queening it in bed, I have been moaning and groaning on the sofa under my Tesco electric throw.
Of course, Milka loves it and stretches out with total abandon on my lap.

Isobel doodled today’s cat. I think she did it during lessons at school and I’m not sure whether to congratulate her or tell her off.

Perfect! I have a cold which started as soon as the Easter holidays did. How annoying.
This is Chloe, who lives with John Sayer. We have met her before. She’s a fluffy little cutie, isn’t she?

Milka likes watching sport on television. A green background with balls against it instantly appeals to him. It’s sweet watching him try to find the balls behind the screen.

Bliss. The holidays are here. I have snaffled these pictures from my friend Helen. A friend gave Helen a foil blanket for her baby, Pearl.
Pearl wasn’t at all impressed, but Winston the Apricot Point and Luna, the rescue Lilac Point feel far more positive.
We considered a few captions, from ‘How to barbecue your cat’ to ‘SPACE CAT!’.

This friendly cat lives somewhere near where my husband John works. Sometimes it comes and flirts with him in the car park. It took 18 snaps for John to catch these two pictures, because she wouldn’t stay still, rolling around and standing on her back legs for strokes.

How about some awesome kitten-ness to get us through the rest of the week? This adorable wee girl is a Cinnamon Oriental named Mishra and she is three weeks old. She was born as a solitary kitten and if you would like to see her amazingly beautiful parents, Gabi and Rudi, have a peek at her breeder’s website Mullsi Siamese.
If you look closely at Mishra’s photograph, you’ll notice she has scratched her little nose with her own claw. Someone suggested she wear some mittens like the ones we put on babies. Experience tells me this idea is doomed to failure. Have you ever tried to dress a cat up like a dolly? I am afraid I have. Lots of times.
In mitigation, I must add that I was under 10 years old. I’m still tempted sometimes, though.
Thank you for letting me share Mishra’s photograph, Tina.

When he first arrived, Milka’s tail was a skinny little piece of string. It is longer and stronger now and becomes more stripy by the day.

Silly picture sent to me by my friend Dominic. See here for a debate about the joke and other examples.
Four more days until we break for Easter. Not that I’m counting every minute or anything.

If everything continues to go well, beautiful Rosa is going to retire to live with us in the next couple of months. We are so delighted. Rosa is Florence’s sister and we are hoping she’ll show Flossie how to come out of her shell and enjoy family life. Rosa is shown here in a picture from earlier today cuddling up with one of her adorable kittens.
We are so honoured and excited, Jo!
