Old phone screen died weirdly. Phone was on, but the screen totally blank. Not broken, because rebooting it gave the Google splash screen. Just completely blank in user mode.
Anyway, new pixel phone, new camera.

It's been a couple of months since Tilly died, and we haven't had a single bird, or mouse in the house since. I think we know who was doing all the hunting, and that Honey is a bit crap when it comes to murdering small creatures.

After only a week of new scary catflap*, both cats that have microchips seem to have mastered it. Much to the chagrin of Flynn, who isn't chipped yet.
Adult cats 1 - 0 Kitten
*Catflap makes noise when it recognises chip and unlocks. My cats have never dealt with this before.

Don't mind Honey. She's just sat in her box. Having an existential crisis.

Been a bit lax at cat posting here on BlueSky.

Two cats didn't feel like enough cat to fill the house. So I'd like to introduce our newest feline, Flynn.

Some heartbreaking news.
Received a phone call from a vet that no-one wants.
My beautiful, funny, silly, and feisty cat Tilly had been brought in after being attacked by a dog. Efforts to save her were unsuccessful.
Hug your pets folks.

The downside of evicting a mouse from your room, after you've shut the cat out to deal with the mouse, is that the cat then spends the next hour scouring your room for a nonexistent mouse. Don't you Tilly?
