In contravention of the name of this blog, I am posting a second cat today. I am a day or so behind and need to catch up to end on the right number. This lovely boy is Fudge, who belongs to Willow and Rosie’s grandma – we have seen him earlier in the year here.
Cats show they are good at geometry when they curl their bodies up tightly; they know that a ball has the smallest surface area and is the best position if you want to keep warm.
In July, I shared with you the story of Maudie’s much-loved cat Mischief, who had recently passed away. Two days ago, Maudie sent me a photograph of her curious new kitten Pepper. When a beloved pet dies, it’s hard to imagine that you might one day own a new one, but if you enjoy living with cats, dogs or any other pet, the day comes when you are ready for another companion.
Pepper looks lovely and I am sure he will give and receive lots of happiness, fun and cuddles.
Thanks to Emilie again for today’s picture. I don’t know anything about this cat (although I suspect it may be French), but what an appealing, rather arty photograph.
Playing with Instagram. Malteser looking strange.
A small and simple post today.
Cosmo and Willow giving each other a wash; a minute later they were fighting. I hope everyone has had a lovely, joyful day. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve lights, decorations and Malteser. May you have a peaceful night and be allowed to sleep past 7am.

This is my friend Charlotte’s as-yet-un-named kitten. I only learned this evening that her cat CoCo was run over a few weeks ago. Very sad. Does anyone have any good ideas for a name for Charlotte’s new companion?

Cosmo has dominated ACAD in the last couple of days, but I just HAD to use this atmospheric photograph Isobel took yesterday evening. Well done Izzy!

Some people don’t believe that cats do bird impressions. They’re not very good, but they do it when they see birds. This morning, Cosmo and Willow watched the seagulls for ages and Cosmo chattered and muttered at them for about half an hour. Turn the sound right up and you’ll hear him.
You may recall Luna, the pregnant lilac point Siamese cat rescued by Helen Daykin. This picture shows one of her bold and healthy kittens balancing beautifully and fearlessly on the top newel post. They’re leaving in a week and Helen can focus on all the cats left at home.
