As if we needed an excuse.

Bit late in the day to take a picture of Paolo (he's drifting off on our bed just now) but I'll try to remember to upload some when back on the PC.

 

Ah, an excuse for George to get in on the action! He's the cat equivalent of a
Ninja!

 

He often climbs up my guitar, on to the bookcase and tries his luck with the cockatiel!

 

What on earth are you talking about - EVERY day is cat day...

 

Yowwwwllllll...

 

WHICH bit of "Do Not Disturb" is outside your limited human understanding?

 

Whenever I walk past this house there's a large barky dog who hurls himself up at the gate making the most godawful racket while the cat nimbly jumps up onto the wall and throws out silent disdain at both the dog and anyone who might be thinking of trespassing.

 

The College Cat.

In truth, there are several cats roaming around the area, all presumably having humans in the nearby houses. It's quite funny to see them parading around and it feels as if they have a regular meeting spot around the back of the college building. At some point the meeting is formally dismissed and you see a line of cats running out in an orderly fashion as if they're all heading for the same bus.

This one however is the only one who really likes to come inside. If the weather is warm enough for us to to open the door and let some air in, she'll almost instantly appear and insist on getting ALL the attention. I am very much a cat lady but this little madam has walked all over my keyboard and farted at me one time too many so I'm only granting very limited indoor privileges at the moment.

 

Our buggers aren't that keen on being photographed. This is Kotaro as a kitten. He's grown somewhat now.

You are thinking chicken. You are thinking chicken. You are thinking chicken...

 

World Cat Day, you say? So you're taking my photograph? In what way, shape or form, does that benefit me? Fish on the other hand. Fish for tea. That might be acceptable. Or not. I'll get back to you.

stays in, out of the cold.

 

This was Kotaro's (on the left) first time outside last year when he was eventually happy to walk on grass (about 6 months old). Overseen by Shadow.

 

I am still not sure there's enough veneration going on.

You have to be wary of Dotty, the three legged feline, or she'll have you with her stump!
