So, we has cat now. Her name is Starling, she's an endless font of curiosity and chaos who believes she belongs inside and on top of everything, no matter how unhelpful or downright impractical, she purrs like an engine when she greets us, and both her dads are madly in love with her.

That's the joy of living in Australia - we have so many gorgeous parrot species hanging out right in suburbia it's easy to think that's just normal!

Honestly, I want to show it to everyone, it just feels weirder whipping out my chest than my arms - though I realise you might not understand that. 😂
