I saw otters in the wild!

Purely magical moment and of course they disappeared the moment I tried to get a photo but simply sitting by the river was pretty darn peaceful.

Delightful. Although my own purr monster was a little concerned about the competition

I concur (although biased as a fellow happy recipient of white gold and sapphire)

Advice wanted - how do I reglue my soles near the toes? They are starting to part from the upper but the soles themselves are still good.

Her Majesty Sydney le Floof has taken Daphne’s advice to keep her human slave at boiling temperature - she came in from the patio so she’s extra warm, just in case I’m not!

“Oh but have you tried getting pregnant” 😒 (actual ‘advice’ I once received for a menstrual related migraine)

In truth I send you healing purrs from the kitty who thinks the treadmill is her new queen sized bed, as this is the greatest gift I have to offer

I came across the quote from Middlemarch recently with a similar sentiment.
I try to live a faithful life and make a difference in the ‘small’ ‘ordinary’ things, within my circle of influence as it were.
I can’t keep evil in check but I can rebel against the hopelessness it seeks to spread.

I do find that red blanket works well for black cat photography

I’ve been cowed into not moving by one lying on top of me and the other giving me her most disapproving glare - so I guess the to do list can wait?

Same!
It looks very much like it could be a Robert Welch set

I seem to have a dinnertime supawvisor

For the briefest of moments there was this not long after sunrise and when I looked again it was back to solid grey

We have six at the moment from a single plant that only went in last year. Doesn’t feel like they should be flowering so late but enjoying them all the same.

They’re just so cute when they ask for belly rubs
