Milly the cat belongs to Kate Robinson, my music-teaching colleague. We have already met Millie twice. I thought to make her my guest cat today because I’ve just spent a couple of days in Germany with Kate and she was a really reliable and supportive fellow-tripper.
Vielen Dank Fr. Robinson!

It’s been a challenge trying to get online to post this picture of a tiger at Cologne zoo today. Absolutely worn out after walking about 4 miles in the pouring rain. But I’m really impressed with how our pupils have stayed cheerful throughout.
I’m proud to say that I still haven’t missed a single day of my 365 Challenge since the 1st of January.
I’m on my way to Cologne, leading the annual school trip of Y7 students. Today’s cat was sent to me by my great colleague Sarah McCarthy who is also along on the visit.
The cat belongs to Sarah’s next door neighbour. Apparently, if Sarah opens her kitchen window, the cat jumps in and dashes round the house. Sent using BlackBerry?? from Orange
Jasper. Gorgeous Jasper. He belongs to Caroline, with whom I went to school.
Random friendly cat encountered and thoroughly stroked in the same road where we found Bagpuss Car.
My friend and colleague Jonathan l’Hoiry told me today that his lovely cat Ellie died last week. She was 16 and had moved with Jonathan each time he’s changed home and was devoted to him.
We each admitted that we feel more sad than seems possible when a much-loved pet dies. It’s a tough time.
Today I bring you another of Jonathan l’Hoiry’s cats; Kaya. I wonder if she stays in the shower after someone turns it on?
Please meet Miss Pearl Bailey and Dolly the Yorkie. This photo was sent to me by Caroline Bailey, with whom I went to school many a long year ago. When we arrived at secondary school, Caroline and I were the two tallest girls in first year. She kept growing tall and willowy. I stopped and remained pretty average.
I remember lots of things, but one of my favourites was sharing a tent at school camp for a week. All the other kids were in big scout camp-type group tents, but Caroline and I had a tent to ourselves and felt special.
I’ve said before that I enjoy seeing cats and dogs getting on well together. Even more when the dog is a Yorkie. I know my friends Dominic McGladdery and Pauline Bailes will also enjoy today’s photo.
Thanks Caroline – your other kitties will also appear over the coming weeks.
Yesterday the Cat A Day was Sue Coates’ cat Buckley. Unfortunately, I could hardly tell you anything about him, because I’d lost his details. Today I have a picture of Buckley again, but this time with his feline companion Othello. I suspected it, but didn’t want to make a mistake; both of them are Burmese.
Another picture and more details soon . . .
