Well, Ella was adamant that she was doing her #Hedgewatch tonight. She got to the top of the living room cat tree and got her head through the curtains. It's late, after 10pm, and dark outside.

youtube.com/watch?v=xZjB... Absolutely love this, a beautiful driving piece of 60s girl group soul. I love their 'Slow Fizz' and 'Gotta Have Your Loved 45s as well. Play loud and dance!

Lady Ella decided to wear her grateful Hattie #Hedgewatch. Ella grateful for food, play, treats, toys, chi rubs and when she's in the mood brushing. She's an absolute sweetheart.

Well, Iggy made a wonderful new friend tonight. And it was a white cat just like Iggy. He was chirruping, he was rolling around on his back, he was pawing frantically at his friend. It was himself in the glass of the patio doors when it was dark outside. He was so sweet.

@shaunalawless.bsky.social Just finished 'Daughter Of The Otherworld', I really got into phase 2. 7th book of yours I've bought, so I keep coming back. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this latest installment, but I for one can't wait on the next. Hugely Recommended!

@mancity.com hi, I called supporter services today, the callback feature isn't working. At 36 mins the call was answered by a machine saying no one was available, I then waited until 46 minutes , at which point as hung up as the message still said we're dealing with calls in 35 minutes. 1/2

#Germany Is Langer Samstag still a thing in Germany? Been many years since I've been. I semi suspect that shop opening hours have been extended. Just thinking about going back to Lubeck for a long weekend and this might determine the date.

Well, it's usually fish for tea Friday, but it's my son's 29th birthday and we're having pasta, n'duja and cavalo nero. Meanwhile, Iggy is showing us the art of looking handsome and cool when relaxing which he is working on in a most dedicated manner.

"Yes, I may be looking directly onto the kitchen worktop, father, but unlike my naughty sister Ella, I'm on top of the sofa, I don't break your rules and lie down on the worktop, I'm a good boy" Iggy

And he's back in the shower cubicle again this afternoon

Iggy followed me into the bathroom this morning whilst I was having a shave. He decided to get into the shower cubicle and roll about. He just got himself into a bit of a tizzy. He really was being a silly boy this morning. There's still a kitten in there.

You know that rule we have about no cats on the kitchen worktop. It's widely flouted. Here's Ella long girl style, with zero shame or regrets.

Majestic flood or what? Ella looking total diva.

#Caturday #Hedgewatch Ella is doing an evening hedgewatch here near Conwy this evening. Iggy was too, but he's gone back to his favourite box bed on the sofa for a nap.

#Caturday part 2 Iggy's obviously found that sweet spot for kipping. You can see he's a long boy.

Happy #Caturday to you all! Whatever you do, be like Iggy and be sure to have a nap after his 3rd breakfast. Scrumbles wet food at 06.30, chicken breast fillet at 9.30 (to hide his steroid and diuretic) followed by kibble. He's now needing some shut eye. He's still walking around with his tail up.

This guy looks so adorable, I just want to cuddle him. Let's repost this and help get him a purrfect furrever home.

Ella the ragdoll cat is bored. She's just hanging out. And over.

White cats are particularly prone to skin cancer on their ears. Usually from the sun. You can protect them with hypoallergenic sun cream. Their pink noses need it too but you can't get cats to keep it on. Iggy doesn't like it being applied, but I'm super fast now. Heat up cold cream before applying

I have somehow very few photos of our cats sitting, out of thousands. So here are two of our beautiful lady Ella complete with her dainty white socks. She's so sweet but an absolute madam.

Our only ginger cat experience was buying a life sized one painted onto wood from Cats Protection, a national cat charity here. We placed it above the kitchen door as decor. We had to remove it as Iggy kept hissing and growling at it. We moved it but he just wouldn't accept it.

Well happy #Caturday to everyone. It's also ginger cat appreciation day. I've never had a ginger cat, nearest we have been was our long gone, zoomiest cat ever, little calico called Heidi who had ginger splotches. Not deliberate, just never happened. For those who do or are, happy ginger cat day.

Ella grooming herself lying on the bed with me, when she thinks she spots something. She's such a sweetheart. For anyone interested, the bed throw is a traditional Welsh design, woven at Trefriw in North Wales.

Handsome boy doing his #Hedgewatch this evening. You never know what could be lurking in the front gardens or on the streets.

Well, they made it home, tired, exhausted even and still suffering from a nip overload. Here they are proudly sporting their final #nipfest2025 hatties

I'm getting quite worried about what state Iggy and Ella are going to come home in after #nipfest2025. We've not seen or heard from them since last night when there seemed to be a few canapes and an awful lot of cocktails involved. They will be sleeping for a week.

Happy #Caturday everyone! No photos today as Iggy and Ella are àt #nipfest2025. Us purrents still haven't heard from them. If anyone has them in a photo, could you please post so we know that they are ok. Tried picsart but failed miserably. Ask me to edit a sound file=np, but a photo=abject fail.

#Nipfest2025 Are there any half decent free apps that allow you to basically Photoshop your images? I don't know how to do it and don't think I have software to do it either.

Has anyone seen either Iggy or Ella. I know that they arrived at #nipfest2025 safely and were waiting on food and drinks. Her parents are worried that Ella isn't overdoing the cocktails again, after overindulging at @toesknows.bsky.social pub this week.

Well, after an epic journey, they've arrived at #nipfest. Just going for some liquid refreshments and some food first. .

Totally #nipfest ready, festival gear on, bags packed and on their way. Their purrents will miss them both so much this weekend, but it's time to strike out.

Time to be busy. I'm ripping my Mastercuts Original Jazz Funk Classics CDs (v1-5 +7) plus a number of other tracks onto a memory stick as my car doesn't have a cd player. Play on shuffle and groove! I never bought v6 as it was Japanese jazz funk which I never got into.

Sumbuddi getz thiz gye!!!!

Well, Buddy came second and was the runner up. That's really good as until @dougiethreelegs.bsky.social did it last year, no cat had ever been a winner or runner up. Maybe next year we help a cat outright win one.

Iggy is doing a late night #HedgewatchforMac I've been out all day doing grandad things so sorry it's so late.

This is the very last day you can vote for the blind cat Buddy. Voting is free. Cats generally don't do well in this competition, it is doggy dominated. #Cats #CatOfBluesky Let's make a difference

Happy #Caturday Iggy has been sent to stare at you

A couple of photos of Iggy I took tonight. He's a big lad, he was spot on for build but the last 6 months of steroids as part of his palliative care has led to weight gain. He's a quirky but much loved boy.

Not so great news today. Took Iggy to the vet today for a regular check up. His heartbeat was 192 per minute up from 160 a couple of months ago. He has a tumour inside his heart so we knew his condition would get worse. He's still a happy boy with his tail up.

Happy Magpie Monday from adoptable kitty, Jodi (with a photobombing Avery)! Jodi is another of our sweethearts currently residing in our The Kitchen Magpie sponsored room at our shelter. Lots of sweet smiles from our Black Beauty today! Jodi is cheerful and upbeat, she loves to play, and she is

This gem is usually

Who says Mondays are no fun. Not us for sure. Here's a little video of Iggy and Ella playing. Ella is the ragdoll. Iggy is less active but that's just a symptom of his heart tumour. He is still loving his life and we love every moment of having him here.

Could you give one of these 5 cats a furever home. They're currently at RSPCA Little Valley in Exeter. You can read, & see a picture of each cat within the article. www.devonlive.com/news/devon-n...

All over. Palermo 0- Manchester City 3. With some of those fouls, hard to believe this was a friendly.

Ella wants to wish you a very happy #Caturday From her bed, of course. A post first breakfast snooze, until she was disturbed.
