Playtime 🐈‍⬛❤️

I had another good play session with Betty today. Several times she caught the wand and then wouldn’t lift her paw off it even when I was tugging it 😆 She really seems to enjoy it and I’m taking it as a good bonding exercise 😊🐈‍⬛❤️

Thinking about how little sleep I’m going to get these next 6 weeks due to The World Cup matches being played in the early am here in the UK, (silly American time zones) and my only real solution is to move in with @pmc871.bsky.social for the duration of the tournament. Problem solved 🤣⚽️⚽️⚽️

Actually me 😅

Scary Movie wasn’t too bad. Very nostalgic. It seemed to prioritise harking back to classic scenes/jokes from previous Scary Movies over making new jokes. But it was a nice little trip down memory lane if nothing else.

Off to the cinema tonight to watch Scary Movie. The bougie cinema was all sold out, so I’m having to slum it at the run down Cineworld, but it’s 4DX which kinda makes for it. Here’s hoping it’s as good as its predecessors!

Posted a photo on IG from 2017 back when I was skinny (ish). Random follower in my DMs, who actually turned me down in a club 2 years ago. “Phwoar! Wish I’d known you back when you looked like this You were hot.” I appreciate the sentiment, but my guy, this isn’t the compliment you think it is 🫠

Got VERY close to my first kitty touch. I was feeding Betty treats. She ate two with my fingers next to the treat. The third I left on the tips of my fingers. She reached out her head to eat from my hand and only at the last second pulled back. I think we’re very almost there folks 😁🐈‍⬛❤️

Omg. We’ve just our first joint play session. Went for about 10 minutes! She’s always liked toys but only solo play. If ever I try to play with her she walks away and hides. But not today! Look at her go! 😁 ❤️🐈‍⬛❤️🐈‍⬛❤️🐈‍⬛

Happy #Fursday 🐈‍⬛❤️

Miss Betty decided she didn’t want to wait for me to bring her dinner up. She came downstairs to me in the kitchen and walked right up to my feet to watch me make her dinner. That’s right. She walked up to me! She really is getting so much braver these days ❤️🐈‍⬛

Just two years ago, I was paying £4.95 for these. I was horrified last year when the price had jumped to £8.50. I’ve just bought some today because you know, the hay fever be fevering. £10.50 🫠 Stop the ride. I want to get off!

Betty out here trying to make #FCF (Furry Cat Friday) a thing.

Me: There’s a nice cool breeze coming through the window. I might actually get some sleep for the first time this week. My hay fever: The f*ck you will!

Not obsessed with my vape running out of charge long before I’m ready to get out. Homophobia at its finest 😒

I’m obsessed with Betty sitting at the French doors just watching me enjoy my bubbles 🐈‍⬛❤️

Me: I’ll come in 40 minutes early or so to clear the backlog of emails from bank holiday. Laptop: Your organisation requires you to do a forced restart and update. Dear reader, it’s now 25 minutes later and it’s still only at 70% updated 😩 Should’ve just stayed in bed.

Enjoying what little breeze there is 🐈‍⬛❤️

Raging at this woman on a FB cat page. “I’m really angry. I adopted a cat they said was timid 3 weeks ago and she’s still hiding! Only comes out at night. I don’t want a cat that hides 24/7! If it doesn’t change soon I’ll have to give it back!” 😡😡😡 People like her shouldn’t be allowed to adopt.

Driving past the Reading Motorway Premier Inn and I can’t help but think of @rikram.bsky.social I hope he’s ok x

Betty’s been a little under the weather and off her food these past few days following another hairball incident, but I’m pleased to say she’s back to eating normally and feeling more like herself today 🐈‍⬛❤️

Before Brat, we had The Great Padam Summer of 2023

I’ve just got back from seeing a film called ‘Obsession’ at the cinema. One of the better horror films I’ve seen recently and genuinely pretty disturbing in places. Definitely drives home the idea of ‘be careful what you wish for”. I really recommend it.

The hot tub is on and heating. Hopefully it will be ready for a dip this afternoon 🤞🏼

Just seen a Tik Tok from a lady ranting it’s not appropriate for a man to wear a swimming brief in public places where families visit, such as pools or beaches, as it’s sexual and distracting. Ok. But women walking around in skimpy bikini tops and thong bottoms is fine? Girl. Make it make sense 😅

Well, ok Betty. Just put your paws on my bread board 😆 I’m guess I’m going to have to re-wash everything and make sure I don’t leave things on the side anymore 😅 Meggy never climbed on counters so I’ve never had to think about this before 😆 But I’m glad she’s feeling confident today!🐈‍⬛❤️

The face of someone who meowed not once, but twice at me during dinner processions ❤️🐈‍⬛

Behaviourist meeting went well. She actually thinks we’re doing everything right and there’s nothing really that we need to change. It’s just a case of giving her time, time and more time. So that’s what we’ll do ❤️🐈‍⬛

How much is that Betty in the window? ❤️🐈‍⬛

I was mildly interested by Perrie teasing a new song on IG. But it looks like it’s just a an old song that she already released 7 months ago that she’s added a guitar too. Girl. You will always be my fave member of Little Mix but I’m getting ready to give up on you as a solo artist. 😮‍💨

Snack time 😋

I woke up today with the random urge to renew my Australian passport which is about to expire. I don’t need one, as I have a UK passport, but it’s a nice to have. I check the cost. £324 compared to the £102 of a UK one. Absolutely not. I guess I’ll stick to being British, thanks 😅

I’ve booked in to speak to a professional cat behaviourist, as whilst I am absolutely celebrating each small win, I feel like Betty’s confidence around humans is regressing somewhat for reasons I don’t understand. Hopefully the expert can help me give her the help and support she needs 🐈‍⬛❤️

Me, looking at all your selfies 👀

@wagtail.bsky.social Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! Have a great day! 😘🥳🎈🎁

Not much to report on the old Betty front these days. She alternates between days in hiding and days where she’s out and about at a distance. Today is a hiding day. I got my 4th ever meow at dinner time though. So that’s something 😊🐈‍⬛❤️

🤔

Cleansing the timeline 🐈‍⬛

I don’t know what happened to my Mrs, or even who she was 😳 but I have visions that she’s still somewhere out in the wide world, stood on a cliff facing out to sea, waiting for her long lost love to return 😆
