Having a bit of scratching post play before bedtime. Lily wishes you all a peaceful evening/night. Love to all 🐈‍⬛🐾❤️❤️😘😘 #blueskycats #catsofbluesky #BlackCat #blackcats #Cat #Cats #Catlove #Lovecats

Happy Sunday from Lily! She has no real worries. Maybe, we should all be more #cat #Catsofbluesky #BlackCats #catsofbluesky #blueskycats

My 3rd and final shot of Lily today. Looking out into the avenue at the front of the house where many birds gather. Happy #Caturday everyone 🐈‍⬛🐾❤️ #Catsofbluesky #BlackCats #blackcats #Blueskycats

The perfect ball of beauty. Lily's licked herself into a shiny ball this #Caturday afternoon. #Catsofbluesky #BlackCat #Cats

Lily has pulled an "all nighter" and just come home at 8.30am this morning. Well it was Friday Night and she is a party girl 🐈‍⬛🐾🥳🥳 #Caturday #caturday #catsofbluesky #blackcat #BlackCats

Lily saying, "I've just had a long bath, now I need to get my full day of sleep, I don't do those "cat naps" you talk about" #FurryFriday #Catsofbluesky #catsofbluesky #cats #BlackCats #Cat #blackcat

This is the very first photo I took of my (now) wife in 1988 in the kitchen of the office where we first met. Her Dad was born in Malta and her Mum in Italy. We didn't get on when we worked together but when she came to see me play football for the works team that all changed! It was my legs! 😄⚽️

Lily scanning her Queendom on this cloudy Mancunian early evening #cat #cats #catsofbluesky #Blackcat #blackcats 🐈‍⬛🐾❤️

Lily settling down to an afternoon of rest and relaxation. We should all be more #Cat #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats #Blackcats 🐈‍⬛🐾

Lily working on her latest memoir again this morning. #WhiskersWednesday #catsofbluesky #Catsofbluesky #BlueskyCats #BlackCat #blackcats #FurryFriends #Cats #BlackCat

"Come on Chris, please play the fishing game with me" #Catsofbluesky #blueskycats #blackcats #cats #catlovers #cat

Lily keeping in touch with the local birds this morning. #catsofbluesky #blackcats #blueskycats #Catsofbluesky #Cats #cats #cat

#Trump having a pop at the Pope is hilarious. He's going to the fiery gates of hell even sooner now! 😆😆🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Potus #Iran #MiddleEast #Pope

Lily says who needs a basket when this comfy wall is just as good. #catsofbluesky #blackcat #Blackcatsofbluesky #Cat #Cats #Catlovers

Iran says, so far, 3,300 men, women and children have been killed in Trump's illegal war. If true, he MUST be made accountable for these despicable war crimes, ceasefire or not. The good people of the US are sickened by this like the rest of us #Trump #WarCriminal #GenocideTrump #Iran #MiddleEast

Lily doing her "sphinx" impression this afternoon. #catsofbluesky #blackcats #blueskycats #Cats #cat

Lily's back online. (Not sure for how long) . In the garden yesterday. #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #Blackcat #WarCriminalTrump

Dear Bluesky friends. Lily and me are taking a break from all social media for a while until the world is in a better place. As we know #Trump is out of any control now. My #USA friends, PLEASE is there nothing that can (legally) be done to stop him? #Catsofbluesky #blackcat #cat #cats

Poor Lily is currently distressed by the "Storm Dave" weather system making its presence known outside. Lots of comfort being given to her. #Caturday #Catsky #Catsofbluesky #BlackCats

Now, there's a face to remember! #Caturday #Catsofbluesky #Cat #BlackCat #blueskycats

Good Morning Lily! May your day be blessed with food, sleep and play. #FurryFriday #Blackcat #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats #Cats

Lily "having a shower" in the "sun room" this afternoon and, for a change, we have lots of sun! She is making the most of it with snoozes, cleaning and generally living her best life. 🐈‍⬛🐾❤️❤️❤️ #catsofbluesky #Blueskycats #BlackCats #Cats #Cat #CatsOfBlueSky #blackcats #Catsky #catsky

The day when I was WFH and Lily saw a fly on the ceiling, so decided the Laptop was the perfect launch pad to attack it. #blackcats #blueskycats #catsofbluesky #cats #cat

There are no words....🐈‍⬛🐾❤️ #blackcats #blueskycats #catsofbluesky

Outdoors this windy Wednesday. Lily fixated on the 2 resident wood pigeons. They were here before we even moved in to this bungalow, then when she arrived they have been the bane of her life. All natural instincts of course. #Catsofbluesky #BlackCat #BlackCats #Blueskycats #Cats

Lily looking straight into the camera this morning. She must know how photogenic she is. #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #blackcat #blackcats #catlovers #CatsAreFamily #FurryFriends

Lily not just ignoring the "house rules" for her food but smashing them to bits. We feed her from her "shop" on a high shelf. She has scaled it and now ready to raid the whole shop. Yes, I know all rules are off in Cat World 😒🧐🤨🙄 #catsofbluesky #BlackCats #blueskycats #catlovers #Cats

Nothing at all remarkable of this shot of Lily here on a rain-sodden Mancunian Sunday afternoon. Just another day to gaze upon her beauty. #Catsofbluesky #blueskycats #Blackcat #blackcats #Cats

Just caught Lily with her #Blackcat trademark of 1 paw out, 1 paw tucked. The bright Spring sun flooding into the room. Gorgeous. #Caturday #caturday #blackcat #Cats #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats

An unusual aerial shot of Lily snoozing in the rocking chair with her favourite toy fish on this damp #Caturday afternoon in #Manchester #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats #BlackCatsOfBluesky #Cats #BlackCat #blackcats #cat #cats

Lily's reaction today when I told her it was true that Donald Trump was ACTUALLY the President of the United States of America. #catsofbluesky #blackcat #BlackCat #Cat #Catlover #FurryFriday #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueskyCats #Trump

Lily enjoyed her breakfast earlier today. #FurryFriday #Catsofbluesky #BlackCats #Blueskycats #Cat #blackcat #cat

"Hello everyone. I've been told to wish all you #Blueskycats a very good day/night, (depending on your time zone)'. Always remember, we are the centre of the universe and NOTHING else really matters. 🐈‍⬛🐾 #catsofbluesky #blackcats #catlovers #cat #cats

Lily watching the world go by in the warm on this bright, but freezing morning #Catsofbluesky #blueskycats #Blackcat #blackcats #Cats

"Please explain to me why this monkey keeps trying to kiss me!" Lily generally unimpressed by soft toys. #WhiskersWednesday #CatsofBlueSky #BlackCats #catsofbluesky #Cats

Wee Lily at her first #Christmas "Chez Neilson". #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats #Cats #cats #BlackCats #Kittens #Catlovers

Making friends at a horse rescue sanctuary last year. How anyone could abandon such a precious animal defies belief. #Horse #Horserescue #Horsesanctuary #horses

Lily hiding behing the window blinds this morning. "Rainy Manchester" is living up to its (not always fair) image today and she doesn't fancy getting her award winning coat soaked. Make the most of your Tuesday everyone! #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #blackcats #catlovers

Well, Lily has not re-aquainted herself with this tree just yet...but it won't be long! #Cats #Catlovers #BlackCats #Catsofbluesky

Lily looking like she's just about to unleash a devious plan. 🐈‍⬛🐾😼😼😺 #Catsofbluesky #blackcat #cats #blueskycats

Lily's length continues to confound me on a daily basis. #Blackcat #BLACKCATS #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #cats #CatLovers #CatPeople

Lily continues to enjoy being outdoors again. The prolonged Spring sunny spell arrived at exactly the right time for her. #catsofbluesky #blackcat #cat #cats #blueskycats

Good grief! Lily found it too warm outside so came back indoors in an even warmer spot! There's a lot of head turning and "squeaking" going on this afternoon. 🌞🐈‍⬛🌞 #Caturday #caturday #CatsOfBlueSky #catsofbluesky #BlueskyCats #blueskycats #BlackCats #CATS #cat #blackcats

This is clearly NOT a #Cat pic BUT for those who follow my daily posts of Lily, this will be an opportunity to reveal me (Chris) and my wife Connie (on the left!) Yes we are Lily's "parents". This photo was taken years ago in a lighthouse on holiday! #catsofbluesky #caturday #Cat #Cats

6am on Saturday morning and Lily insists it's breakfast time 😴😴😴🐈‍⬛🐾 #catsofbluesky #blueskycats #Caturday #caturday #BlackCat #Cats #BlackCats

Lily Cat. She works hard to maintain her coat's tip-top condition. #catsofbluesky #cat #blackcat #Cats #BlueskyCats

TRUMP IS A SLURRING PSYCHOTIC CABBAGE. #Trump #Psychotic #Cabbage

I just put this camp chair out in the garden for a short stay sit down in the highly unusual Manchester early Spring sunshine. I nipped back inside for a few minutes then this person had other ideas. 🐈‍⬛🌞😊 #Catsofbluesky #CatsOfBlueSky #Catlovers #BlackCats #Cats

Lily shortly after sunrise on this Friday morning. She wishes you a fine day, and to enjoy every moment with your kitties. #Catsofbluesky #CatsOfBlueSky #BlackCat #blackcats #Cat #Cats

Lily searching for the laughing gnome hiding on the bottom right this afternoon 🐈‍⬛🐾😄 #catsofbluesky #Blackcat #BlackCats #CatsOfBlueSky #Catloves #Cat #Cats
