"Ah human, your office lamp is fitted with a cat toy"

Wondering if the vet knows anything about cricket

At four months old, Michael has taken to laps and I'm here for this

Michael wished to ride with me to Birmingham today. This was not permitted.

When you're trying to hide but realise there's a bit sticking out.

When you see yourself on the big screen for the first time

Off to the dentist and I have genuinely been using an interdental brush regularly for several months. I'm fascinated to find out in what new way I am now hygienically inadequate.

After a month of careful study, I have been able to identify the key times when kittens go nuts: - Just after food - When hungry - Just after a poo - When needing a poo - Night time - Day time - Misc

The Common and its denizens doing their best to lift the gloom this morning

When your kitten thinks she's an antimacassar.

This season's collection being recycled (almost) en masse. There's one still going... Farewell, Twelve Treeslets true

"Will you PLEASE stop taking photos of me so I can snooze?"

Michael has a somewhat curious approach to drinking water - she gets it on her paw then licks it off. It's absurdly cute.

A distant windmill peering over the misted icy Common

Do I (a) Step gently over Michael on the top step, safe in the knowledge that she is but a gentle kitten? or (b) Give up any thought of seeing upstairs again?

"There's nobody under the open dishwasher. Honest."

"There's nobody under the open dishwasher. Honest."

Basket case.

Help. My kitten, she is very crazy.

Michael has a new box, and consequently a new game of putting her ball into the box, panicking, and then finally retrieving her ball from the box. Again and again.

I'm pretty sure that this sort of content should be behind a paywall

In defiance of rules, Michael tried to jump on the kitchen bin last night. She was not aware it was emptied and lidless. Michael 0 Bin Day 1

A little bit of lunchtime laptime

Our last cat, Dayve, was fed in the garage. Michael is not allowed in the garage as she is too small. The cat flap is locked. Michael resents this.

Good morning from this lunatic

Mighty Hunter

what an affordable bird

A lone swan graces Kingsmere, as one did for a few weeks last winter.

When you don't shut cupboard doors quickly enough.

Michael was tightly marking Martinelli, but then switched sides and stuck to Pedro Neto instead. #CHEARS

I feel obliged to share this masterpiece from my brother:

Michael has just met one of the local cats. I can confirm that she was very brave.

"Let me get this right. You put dirty dishes in here and they come out clean?"

The humans of the household are suffering from winter bleurghh, but Michael oozes health and well-being. Irksome cat.

Multitasking

Did someone order ice skating ducks?

Whether you're new here, or just picking up here after a while away, this Restarter Pack will do a decent proportion of what it says on the tin. go.bsky.app/V7LmoSU

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

Quiet please. Genius at work.

Morning.

It's one of those evenings that makes me wish the use of umbrellas to be strictly licensed with theory and practical testing.

"A new series of the tense drama in which Jack Mewer, the elite Anti-Terrorist Kitten, causes unrelenting chaos for 24 hours"

"Kitten? There's no kitten here, just us Blu-ray players"

Out tonight

A crushed-up chicken Thrive. The snack of champions.

Watching snow for the first time
