Susie Arnott’s cat is called Minou and we first met her on 20th April. Minou appears to have discovered that the clean laundry basket is cat-sized and is making herself very much at home.

This is James Bancroft’s cat Gizmo looking rather magnificent and leonine. I wonder if he’s warming himself on that car bonnet. James tells me that:

Gizmo lives life to the max, sleeping as much as he can, exploring the neighbours’ gardens and terrorising our house – nothing is safe! He loves affection and his favourite biscuits. We love him!

Time for some guest cats. Let’s start with another picture of the charismatic Button, who we saw sitting proudly in a box on Day 211. In this picture, he’s definitely posing to look as winsome as possible. Thanks to Dawn German for bringing beautiful Button to us.
