Cosmo with silver paint on his nose. I spent days painting a silver paint pattern on our bedroom wall and he helped out, as any good cat obviously would.

A Cat A Day: 154/365
It’s been a very hot day in most of the UK today. Rosie lazing in the sunshine under the Hebe and among the ferns.
I love sun-warmed cat fur.

We have been renovating our house for almost two years and it’s been a long, expensive haul. We run out of money/energy from time to time. But this week has seen some progress. We’ve bought lots of Billy and Benno bookcases and CD storage towers from Ikea (15 of them) and have toiled away in the warmth to build them.
Naturally, they then have to be checked for structural integrity by all resident felines. Cosmo seems to have approved….
Lovely Asda advert for barbecue meat on the tv too.

There have been loud complaints around these parts. Apparently, I haven’t been posting enough photographs of our own kitties.
So … here is Isobel with Malteser and Rosie. Poor Rosie has a pink scrunchie around her neck and was forced to wear it for about 2 hours after this picture was taken. Tribulations of living with a pre-teen girl…
(Excuse for hair being fluffy: just been swimming).

All I know about today’s French cat is that his name is Pastis, he belongs to someone called Hélène and lives in the countryside with my friend Christine Raynal. A handsome chap.

My friend Alex just welcomed a new kitten into his home. Skimbleshanks is his name and his speciality seems to be climbing all over his new owner. This is Skimbles when he was even littler and more adorable. I can’t express his cuteness in words.
I just can’t.

Sunday evening. No school tomorrow. Wine has been imbibed. Cosmo has been thoroughly cuddled. By me.

Pushkin passed away in February. Like every cat, he loved to sit in the sunshine and he was very determined about it. We were having a new kitchen installed and all the parcels were piled up in the dining room. No problem; he just climbed up and sat on the side edges of the boxes.
I do miss his furry purry cuddles.

It’s been a struggle for me today with lots of sad goodbyes. Among many friendly young faces I will no longer see every day is Gareth Lang’s. Lovely Gareth is our Head Boy, a member of my tutor group and a student in my GCSE French class.
Today’s photo is a cute one of his family’s cat Ginger as a kitten. Sweeeeeet!

Elliot the dog and this cat belong to Christine Raynal, one of our fabulous French Exchange host teachers. I’m so disappointed I can’t remember Christine’s cat’s name, but I could never forget Elliot, because he’s a crazy, friendly, excitable loon. When I first heard Christine talk to him, I thought he was called ‘idiot’ because of how Elliot is pronounced in French.
L’idiote, c’était moi évidemment!!
