I Love My Boys

Carter: I don’t care how many similar photos I put up – you can never have too many cat pictures :p He’s my little fatty kitten who sleeps on my bed (so close that his whiskers touch my face!), walks across my face if he wants attention when I’m asleep, burrows under my quilt, pounces on my feet, cries at my door if it’s shut, plays with his prey (for ages..and ages…and ages…). … He’s my supermodel He has the silkiest coat known to Cat World, he’s an incredible hunter (birds, rabbits, voles, SQUIRRELS), he’s gorgeous, he’s precious and delicate, especially since he got hit by a car when we first had him, he likes to ride on people’s shoulders, wrapped round your neck like a scarf, he likes to lick all the gravy off his cat meat but leave the chunks…. …and I adore him just as much

Cruel to be kind

OH I am a cruel, cruel woman! After last Carter’s escapades last night, I decided I had to ban The Beautiful One from my room, just for the one night: It was so difficult..especially when I heard him crying and scrabbling at my door at 11.45pm…or when I woke up to find him curled up [...]
