On his 2 week adoption anniversary Pyscho aka Frankie was allowed outside for most of the day as he has been sensible with his exploring & was. He actually managed to knacker himself out, and we saw him curl up and have a proper long cat-style sleep for the 1st time. #AdoptedCat

Celebrating his 1 week adoption anniversary, Frankel (aka Pyscho) seems to be very content & settling in well. Just need him to chill out a bit more with our other cat. His favourite toy is the pastry brush he stole from us, which he bought up to our bedroom last night #AdoptedCat

This is why representation matters. This is why programs that support women in STEM (or any male dominated space) is important. I wish more men had this perspective and respect for their female peers.
