As I strolled back from the post box yesterday, I encountered Lily, about 50 yards or so up the road from the house, on the other side of the road. Being fed chickie! by an old lady, who apparently does this on a daily basis. And bikkit too.
I told her that Lilith was our cat, [...]

A bunch of the local children have really taken to the Tribe; they assemble outside the house to visit the cats, who spend a fair amount of time in the street because that’s where the sun falls during the day.
I went out to talk to a [...]
Suzanne was kind enough to enquire after Lily, and I realised I had been remiss in not updating her fans. She is pretty much restored to full health now, thank you, but first she shared her cold with Henry and Ron.
Being rude mechanicals rather than pedigrees, they shook it off within the week, whereas she [...]
Lilith is snuffling and sneezing, and has slightly runny eyes. We’re not sure whether it’s a cold, or an allergy maybe – she’s eating, but she wants company and comfort, which is unusual for her (to put it mildly).
So I went to bed early last night with a book, and carried her upstairs with me [...]

Temperatures here in North Somerset, in the UK, are at a very unseasonal 29° today – far too hot for us humans, and the cats are miserable. They’re seeking out pockets of shade, and slumping all over the place.

Despite having ADSL *and* cable here, we’ve been having problems with connectivity this week. I plan to do some diagnostics in the next couple of days – closing WAN channels on the firewall, rebooting cable modem and ADSL router, that sort of thing.
But now I think I [...]
Pete and I were reading in bed last night, and there was a sort of scrabbling from under the bed. Kittins do scrabble, of course, but there seemed somehow to be a more concentrated aspect to this than usual.
So Pete got out and had a look. And found a rat. Dead, thankfully, but not for [...]
Lilith seems to like it, at least.
