Well, we've arrived at the #HWCafe we've both had a good nap, and breakfast was ages ago. We're both starving!. Let's go get some lovely noms, Ella. What's on the menu today?

After 1st brekkie, Iggy climbs up to the top of the cat tree and does his #Hedgewatch. After 2nd brekkie, he goes into his carrier for a nap, he can look out across the room. Food is 3ft away, a fountain 6ft and the radiator is right behind him. Perfection! Ella never willingly enters any carrier.

The 'our second breakfast is awaited' committee held an impromptu staring session outside the bedroom door but 40 minutes before the 09.30 time. They got fed early, why not , it's #Caturday! Happy #Caturday everyone!

We've actually had sunshine this morning after a few miserable days with storm Chandra. Here's Iggy after his second breakfast today, up on the top deck of the cat tree both doing his #Hedgewatch and catching the sun puddle.

Guess what's cooking on our hob? It's an Iggy cat loaf. It's actually not hot and it's protected by a silicon cover. My no cats on the worktop rule is completely ignored. He was getting daddy hand pillow time and rubs before. The serious look is because I his stopped scritches.

Ella the Ragdoll cat has it in the bag. At least this time she waited until the bag had been emptied before she dived in. We were putting away from the other bags and hadn't clicked her getting in. She looks so cute in there.

Walked into the living room yesterday morning and this man was doing a #Hedgewatch. He turned around to greet me and then started rolling around on his back and side for me. I was worried he would fall off. It's such an honour to be greeted like this.

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Hello, hello, can you hear me out there? It's Iggy on the line. Iggy loves his nana phone, Ella completely ignores hers and his, zero interest whatsoever.

Happy #Caturday to all from Mr Misery here. I posted a painting of Iggy 2 weeks ago but my wife has done me one of Ella. It's a watercolour base then inktense pencils on top. It captures her face beautifully. My wife loves doing art. I've hung it in our living room.

My daughter's car is at the garage so I gave my granddaughter a lift to school this morning. When I returned Ella was diligently doing her #Hedgewatch from the living room cat tree. She was pleased to see her dad.

@number10cat.bsky.social 🎵 Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Larry, Happy birthday to you 🎵 We sang it really loudly so you would hear us down in London. 🎈🎂🎉 Have a purrfect birthday to celebrate your 19 years. Hip hip hooray!

This smug face has been to the vet this morning. He's still very much here despite being given a 4:months max last February from a specialist because of a tumour inside his heart. Our own vet thought that was over optimistic He had a review today. He's not right but we're going to try moving 1/2

We came back from Iggy's vet appointment this morning. I love how Ella does her #Hedgewatch whilst awaiting our return. I love the dangled paw. She was by the door when we came in, tail up and purring. That welcome home is always lovely. Just in time for serving 2nd breakfast too.

#Hedgewatch #KissAGinger Actually, neither of them has yet! They're certainly willing.

A little bit of what us Brits like to call Northern Soul. This is Ike & Tina Turner with the original of Somebody Somewhere Needs You issued on Loma. It was later a hit for Darrell Banks. Fast, snappy 60s soul. Have a dance wherever you are! youtu.be/Gi72iVtp568

#PlundercatsMilan Well, the ever so glam Princess Ella was flaunting it at Milan Fashion Week. Iggy did attend in the audience.

Happy #Caturday to you all. Iggy got his Caturday off to a great start with a long #Hedgewatch after breakfast #1 . Brekkie was served late today but a slightly larger portion was served which helped him get over the tardiness. It's so hard to get good purrents these days.

www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ja... A very worrying article about risks to cats, cattle and people and how Maga officials are ignoring the dangers

Iggy and Ella are dedicating their guard duty to their friend. Fly free over that rainbow 🌈 bridge, Rosie. #HedgewatchforRosie

@itsflanoy.bsky.social Thank you very much. Guess what arrived this morning. Our fridge has a wooden cabinet door so I've put it on the hob hood but my wife said not the front bit as that would mean steam messing it up. I'll be thinking of you every time I cook.

Ella was on the top deck of the cat tree earlier this morning doing her #Hedgewatch She is up there again right now. That perch is above a radiator. She is looking out at the snow which has been there from Sunday afternoon. Some places have had much more.

#Vancouver! Look at this big bunch of love. And he grrrrrs when he gets scritches! Give him his forever home.

It's cold, bright and windy here. It's 0c but feels colder with the wind chill. That's cold for here, we're used to mild and wet, Manchester is famous for rain. Iggy is doing a duvet #Hedgewatch today and dedicating it to his friend #HedgewarchforOzzybop

Ella doing her morning #Hedgewatch from the living room window sill. It's lovely and warm there, right above the radiator. Very cold and windy for us at 0c here but no snow, yeah! This one is dedicated to our friend #HedgewatchforOzzybop

We're hoping that everyone has a brilliant first #Caturday of 2026! Iggy was loving the chin rub, purring and even protested when I stopped for a bit to talk to my wife. Our special quirky boy.

#Hedgewatch #HWCafe Well after all the confusion about where and when to go,both Iggy and Ella managed to find their way to the dining room at Mugworts. They are both wearing their New Year hatties with pride. Watch out! Iggy's on the scoff!

@jolo729.bsky.social And here's one you missed. A frantic piece of 60s soul that is popular in the north of England The Soul Sisters - I Can't Stand It youtu.be/WxSy9b11CBQ S

Throwback Friday with Iggy. He was around 9 months old here. Obviously, the world was too much for him on that day or he'd just heard one of my dad jokes.

1st Throwback Friday of 2026. This is Ella. She lived in one room for a good few weeks and we took turns sleeping with her. She had digestion issues that persisted. Still needs B12. I removed the door and we replaced it with plastic netting so that they could interact. No aggression just curiousity.

@clancey1234.bsky.social Happy New Year to you both. I'm missing my good mornings. We're hoping that you've both just been busy rather than anything bad has happened.

East Bay peebel!

We're wishing everyone a great 2026. Happy New Year! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! Here's Iggy and Ella doing their first #Hedgewatch of 2026 this morning.

#PlundercatsNYE So luxurious and grand. We have a rule in our house that says no cats on the table. Both Iggy and Ella ignore it at home. So they've done exactly the same thing here. When he's told off, Iggy usually starts to lick his bunt, so I have to let it slide.

Sometimes, the only way a girl can get a #Hedgewatch in, in this house, is to stick your head through the curtains. The lazy purrents are sat here in their PJ's drinking coffee so won't open the curtains yet.

I thought I'd share one of my Christmas presents. My daughter had it done for me from a photograph. She's the one who christened Iggy as Lord Iggington of Shaw. My wife has painted her portraits of her dogs, Harry the chocolate lab, now 🌈, and her black lab Ted. This one isn't by my wife.

Happy #Caturday to everyone. Iggy and Ella have both been on the top deck of the living room cat tree this morning. Their dedication to a good #Hedgewatch is remarkable. A quick Squaredle and then footie for me this morning.

@paulbernal.bsky.social Remember saying that they weren't very good at covering up. This one is so fitting.

Missing from SE Cornwall, England. Their Mom and Dad have taken a break from Twitter. This has been so hard for them. I want to keep the word out so I moved their message here. If you think you know anything about #stolenMargieandRuby PLEASE call. They’re heartbroken and it’s devastated them.

@hedgewatchers.bsky.social I wanted to say thank you for the nativity. Some stars there and some genius animation. Yesterday when I watched, it would let me watch but I couldn't reply or see any replies and although I liked they didn't show up today. I couldn't get new posts either for 2 hours.

Real ? In the UK, roast turkey is pretty ubiquitous for Christmas dinner. In the USA, turkey is ubiquitous for Thanksgiving. So what do you have for Christmas dinner? I'm genuinely curious or nosy.

Waiting on my son's arrival, meanwhile I am cooking 'nduja, pasta, potato, onion and cavolo nero for our Christmas Eve dinner. Larry, Iggy and Ella wish you a very merry Christmas, whether that's quiet or raucous. 🎵 Enjoy yourselves! It's later than you think 🎵

With friends like the Trump administration, who needs enemies

UK Cat Purrents? Has anyone else had a bad experience with Dreamies meat sticks? We usually use Webbox, but they have eaten Tesco, Asda, M&S and Aldi with zero problems. Not seen before so bought Dreamies at Pets at Home and neither of them would touch it. Has never happened before.

Been to Markies very early this morning, but that's the end of our Christmas shopping. Everything in. We arrived home to the sight of the most diligent and elegant #Hedgewatch house guardian, Ella.

Hey @paulbernal.bsky.social You're absolutely right. They really aren't very good at cover ups.

Ella also does her own #HedgewatchForBaileyAndCharlie She often uses the 2nd top deck as she really likes to sit on the window sill itself and it's a convenient access point.

I know we're very late with this but I didn't see this until bedtime on Friday and I was out all day yesterday. So this Sunday morning, Iggy was doing his #HedgewatchForBaileyAndCharlie
