The children and I went back to school today and we’re all tired this evening. It was also Milka’s first day on his own with the adult cats Willow and Florence. I was a bit worried, because Florence walloped Milka twice with her paw yesterday; I’ve never seen her so aggressive. I guess that they are still establishing a hierarchy. All was fine, of course! Today’s picture shows little Milka asleep on John’s lap after a demanding and successful day standing up for himself.

Climbing the shelves to retrieve her red crinkly toy mouse, Florence was later to be disappointed when John threw it over the back and lost it forever.
Luckily we bought a pack of 9 meeces and she now has a yellow one to play with.

Hello friends. I am running a day behind as a consequence of tiredness, boredom and general bad-temper. However, my iPhone 4S has arrived at last and here is a festive pic of Rosie and John’s tummy. The tv programme is Rev, which I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it.

Ted peering into Malteser’s ear with John in the background. The white thing on the back of the sofa is the book I’m reading at the moment. It’s very thick. [Insert joke here]

Rosie and Willow playing with John’s shoelaces as he tries to get ready for work.
The children have been away for two nights staying with their nana. We noticed that Rosie and Willow became much braver and more sociable while the house was quieter. They like John best and every time he sat down, he had at least one of them on his lap, double-decker-style, if space was short.
Isobel and Ted have returned now and R&W have gone into hiding…
I’ve been avoiding the issue, but it’s becoming ever-clearer that Rosie and Willow (who came to live with us at New Year) don’t like me. They both run away when they see me and never let me stroke them.
They like the other cats and the children, but they adore my husband John. He says it’s because he usually feeds them, but I’ve decided to take it very personally. Here is Willow enjoying a lovely stroking session with John early this evening.I’m going for a cry now.
