You spend hours scouring the charity shops for the perfect gift, then Paddy displays his customary enthusiasm/sorrow. #MerryChristmas mog lovers x

Hands up….I may have done this French panther a disservice. He honestly didn’t look like Lt. Spock In real life. And he showed very un-Vulcan emotions when he swiped (and thankfully missed) having tired of our attentions. Live long and prosper M. Le Chat! @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Ginormous Turkish lion securing prime beachfront sunbed and ready to defend against all rivals feline or human. 10/10 for chumminess and physics-defying mass. Would stand in awe of again. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Redundant Istanbul Metro ticket inspector thrown on the scrapheap by automation. Bids goodbye to his blissfully ignorant wife then sleeps all day on the platform that used to be the source of his livelihood. 10/10 for living a lie. Would join in his subterfuge again @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Turkish bruiser staring into the middle distance; serving 5 stretch for clawing naǐve British cat-lovers who try to pet him. Would be fearful of him/her again. 10/10 for mardiness. Would visit in prison again #MidnightExpress @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Beach towel sales rep comprehensively failing module 1 of his retail NVQ “Making the customer feel special” Has been placed on 90 day notice of possible redundancy. 10/10 for utter indifference. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Greek taverna front of house representative resplendent in full tux. Too proud/thick to beg properly. Probably makes ends meet with a side hustle when casting directors are looking for a stand in as an otter. 10/10 for hospitality. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Pennine Way toll collector expertly exacting payment in rubs and strokes from footsore travellers. 10/10 for hiking hospitality. 0/10 for lack of Kendal Mint Cake. Would fusspuss again. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Eyes as black as Whitby jet. A momentary window into this Cypriot ginger’s heart of darkness. In fairness, he was cheesed off that, once again, we could offer only beer and peanuts. 10/10 for allowing us our anthropomorphic projections. Would disappoint again. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Seaside promenade tux-fluff turns from sweet to spicy in a heartbeat. 10/10 for caprice and rightful indignation that we came bearing no gifts. Would proffer biccies next time. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Other airlines/cats are available but say Kalispera to Seymour, Jet2’s genial host and groundstaff at Pafos Airport, Cyprus. 10/10 for filoxenia and corporate livery. Would headboop again. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

@thecatreviewer.bsky.social Incarcerated panther in Frigiliana, Spain starts tunnelling his way out. 10/10 for strokeability. Would fuss again - and next time bring hacksaw hidden in Dreamies…
