Watson is asleep on top of the kitchen cupboard knowing that he did all he was expected to do this week: he ate & slept & chased his sister; he knocked things over & left white hair everywhere…

Have you managed to cross things off your to-do list this week?

You’d think Skinner and Watson got enough screen time with their regular appearances here, but they do love being the centre of attention and this was definitely an eye-catching background.

Square photo. Two young cats sitting in front of a television screen. One cat is a grey tabby. The other is all white. The screen is showing a screen-saver - a random swirl of colour in shades of blue, pink and orange. It also sows the time stamp 16:24 and a weather symbol with the temperature 10º.

Did you get any Christmas gifts in boxes? If you have cats, it's probably the boxes that interest them.

Skinner says to remember that we all have different likes & preferences, and people aren't automatically inferior because their tastes & ideas don't coincide with our own.

Square photo. The photo shows a tabby cat. She is sitting in a cardboard box with a hole cut in it so that all that can be seen is her head and shoulders poking through the hole.

We have no Christmas decorations as Skinner & Watson can't be trusted. But here's a photo taken soon after they moved in with us last year. I hope the Christmas mug (smashed soon after) is festive enough.

I think the greeting is: "felines fiestas".

#Christmas #felicesfiestas #writerscats
Square photo. Two young cats sitting on a wooden kitchen table. Behind them the background is incidental, but a tall pine cupboard and a vertical fridge-freezer can be seen. On the table, in the foreground is a china mug standing on a blue mat. The picture on the mug is a plump cartoon-style robin on a vivid blue background with a scattering of white stars or snowflakes. The cat on the lefr is a grey tabby, The one on the right is pure white. The tabby appears to be whispering something to the white cat.

Watson and Skinner were named after the behaviourist psychologists.
Sometimes, though, Watson thinks John Watson would be a more suitable namesake for a writer's cat. Here he is channelling Dr Watson's interest in other someone else's case.

Square photo. The photo shows a small green zip case with brown leather trim. The case occupies most of the image. It might be on a bed or a couch, but this is uncertain. It is open and is empty except for a white cat. The cat is lying down. His tail is curving out of the right hand side of the case. His face is not visible, but his ears and back and the curve of is hind quarters are all visible.

"You shall not pass"
Watson the White guards the threshold to the bedroom, denying all rest until a suitable number of words have been written or other progress has been made on writing projects.

Do you have an accountability partner for your writing?

#writingcommunity #caturday #writerscats
Square photo. The photo shows a white cat lying across the threshold of a room. The floors are tiled and there is a step up into the room. The door and door frame are wood, or wood effect, in a medium brown colour. The door is wide open, but very little can be seen inside the room as it is in darkness and there is a pillar or other architectural feature just inside on the wall the door opens back to and this obscures the interior. The cat is lying full length but it is wide awake, with the front part of its body and its head raised as if it challenging the person who is taking the photo.

Watson and Skinner say they don't think it's enough simply to be writer's cats. They feel they should have hobbies of their own, so have taken up birdwatching.

What are your hobbies? Do they distract you from you writing?
Or is your writing just a hobby?

#writingcommunity #caturday #writerscats
Square photo. Two cats, one white and the other tabby, are seen in profile. The white one is behind the tabby. They are sitting on the edge of a kitchen sink unit, looking through a window. The window is on the right hand side of the photo, Because it is perpendicular to the plane of the viewer, it isn't possible to see what the cats are watching, but they seem to be quite intent. Very little of the kitchen is visible, except to see that it has pine cupboards and marble or granite counter tops.

Skinner may seem to be the main focus of the photo today, but Watson says we shouldn't forget that background characters matter, too!

#writingcommunity #caturday #writerscats
square photo taken looking up and at an angle. The photo shows a high level kitchen cabinet (open) or shelf. Inside is a plastic box with a couple of packets of store-cupboard staples - rice and pulses. Alongside this there's also a glass jar of chick peas. This is all slightly out of focus and not central to the photo. The main focus is a tabby cat, who is sitting on the shelf leaning out and down so all that is seen is her head, which dominates the image. High up on the top of the cupboard, and slightly out of focus is another cat. He is white and all that can be seen is his head, very dark eyes, pink ears and nose, as he looks out from on high.

When Skinner & Watson were found, the vet guessed their birthday as Oct 21st. These are the official first-birthday photos.

Do you know your characters' ages, birthdays & star signs?
Are they part of the story or just background you know but don't share?

Square close-up photo of the head of a small tabby cat. She is in a red laundry basket. Her eyes are open and the white paw of another cat is pushing her away under the chin. Very little else can be seen in the photo, except a fragment of a curtain and a decorative box. The suggestion is that the photo is in a domestic setting. Square close-up photo of the head and shoulders of a white cat asleep. He is in a scarlet plastic laundry basket, sleeping on a cream coloured towel. There is other furniture in the background - a wooden chair back painted white and a small wooden tray with glass over a fabric star, which suggests this is in the kitchen or other domestic setting.

I fear that Skinner's look of rapt adoration is not due to her appreciation of my poetry or even of me as a person. I think she's just very aware that I am the one who feeds her.

Maybe I'd have more success as a writer if I included a food package with each book sale :-)

Square photo. All that can be seen is the head of a small grey tabby cat looking down from on top of a wood-veneer kitchen cabinet. The cat's eyes are wide and her pupils dilated. She looks as if she is looking adoringly at someone or something.

All it takes is the clink of a can opener, the hiss of a ring-pull tin, or the rustle of a bag of kibble and Watson is all ears and adoration.

How do you grab your readers' attention and get them on your side?

Square photo. A white cat is lying on a wooden floor. Only his head, front paws and front half of his body are visible. He is looking up at the camera, focused and alert.

The cats are having a movie night. They are watching "The Birds".

My life is a real (cat)balancing act. Here with Marlingspike Finn, who never met a shoulder he didn't make into a perch, leaping up in one go from the ground. I warn visitors to brace for impact, and to avoid bending over and becoming an easier target! #catsofbluesky #writerscats #literarycats
