Paws fit, therefore it's his box...
Black and white cat with paws in a very small box- his head won't fit but he can't resist a box!

Cat of the day is Magic, our littlest member of the cat family
Black and white cat cuddling the arm of a sleeping human. Looks like neither cat nor human will achieve anything today, so deeply do they sleep

I recently had a wall of shelves installed (not so elegant as yours because, budget) and calling it a library makes me stupidly happy. Still didn't have enough room for all the books!
Floor to ceiling shelves of books.

Overjoyed at how awesome it is to be studying for my #CreativeWriting #degree. Currently in a coffee shop reading a horror novel - one of my favourite activities.
And it COUNTS AS STUDYING! AMAZING!

Just been watching Nightmare Before Christmas and doing my friend's Jack Skellington make up for her dress up Xmas shift at our local tesco! Especially good to spend time with her today after a customer gave her a load of abuse & tried to ram her with the cage she was unloading.
Two happy smiling women, one is dressed as in a pin stripe suit with skeleton make up as Jack Skellington from the film Nightmare Before Christmas. A woman stands proudly in a pin stripe suit with skeleton make up in a Jack Skellington costume. She's indoors, a cosy looking lounge. She is trying not to smile in case she ruins the make up.

Cat of the day is this little puss we met on holiday this summer and who spent all weekend in our tent with us hiding from the rain.

Cat of the day is Titan who is busy snoring. Hard life, being a cat.
A sleeping cat, a large tabby with white fluffy belly, laid on his back, legs in the air, eyes closed. He looks happy, like everything in his life is going just the way he wants it.

Ouch! I Do not recommend spilling water straight from the Kettle over your writing hand. It should be fine as not blistered and i'm doing all the right things, but ouchy and feeling sorry for myself. Cat pictures welcome, here's My cat of the day to get started

Cat of the day isn't my cat, but still a magical one as she belongs to Gerald Gardner's biographer, wiccan researcher & my best friend, Philip Heselton. Millions likes biting, sleeping and sneaking onto the dining table to steal treats. But doesn't like having her photo taken.
White cat with black ears & black smudges around her nose. She looks mildly annoyed at the world.

Two for one on cats today. Magic & Killigan nearly being nice to each other.
Two cats on a patio looking at each other and nearly touching noses. One siamese, one black and white, both small and short-haired.

What's everyone reading? Nearly finished Peter Laws Possessed, any recommendations welcome! Writers, drop your links and everyone have a good day. Unlike these two little hooligans who look like they're in a huff with each other
Two cats lie near each other, they are deliberately not looking at each other. One is small, black and white, the other is a large tabby and white.

Today's cat is Holly, she's getting on in years and sometimes can't be bothered to use the litter tray and has a wee on the dining room floor. Nice! But she's an old lady and the smelly boy-cats are so intimidating she won't walk past. The joys of cat ownership! An inelegant pose for you all!
Black and white cat on a crochet blanket, half sitting, half cross-legged in ab uncomfortable looking pose. One front leg over the back legs, she's clearly looking up from her grooming duties and doesn't seem surprised to be photographed - she is used to it by now.

Today's cat is this dickhead. Titan. Thought he was dead. Absolutely lifeless, fussed him, up, spoke to him, nothing. Went to kitchen to check him out in better light, must have smelled the cat sweeties. Up he gets, all action packed ninja to get at the treats, back to normal. Dickhead
Tabby cat white muzzle and pink nose. Lying down on a pale grey rug, one paw forward, his green eyes ringed with black like he's wearing eye-liner. He looks smug after his play-dead ploy earned him a treat. In the background a smaller cat, black and white, sits with his back turned in disgust. Why did the tabby get a treat, he wonders? Tomorrow, it will be his turn to play dead.
