Even when I have to get up at 5am, Smudge still makes time to come sit on my lap and make eating breakfast tricky.

1: I think I am stuck. 2: I am definitely stuck. Assistance please, human.

Archaeology in 1000 years time. The Gü ramekin and a hedgehog bowl which didn’t survive the cold. Hoping that Digging for Britain is still going in 2126. Preferably with @profaliceroberts.bsky.social still presenting!

Someone is starting the day with some zoomies!

Icy cold day today.

Found all these drawing pins in the park today. Picked them up as I was worried about paws! No idea how they got there.

No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet

Smudge is preparing for 2026. It can’t be as bad as 2025. He’s hoping there aren’t too many fireworks.

@thereisnocat01.bsky.social Probably quite an easy one, but enjoy!

Waiting for Santa paws.

I was having a ridiculously busy evening working. Smudge decided to help by playing with the ribbon on my notebook. He decided to take it away in the end.

Wordle 1,645 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Holy moly! This has never happened!

A Christmas story in two parts. They will taste nice at least!

I thought 2025 couldn’t possibly get any worse, but then the elastic went in my scrunchie this morning. I feel like I’m reliving the 90s.

I was nearly stumped! Wordle 1,644 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟩⬛ ⬛🟨⬛🟩⬛ 🟨⬛⬛🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

We still have hedgehogs about. They’d normally be hibernating by now. Just shows how mild it is.

Great Crested Grebe.

Someone is having a nice, relaxing afternoon after racing around earlier.

Those are relatively new curtains, Smudge cat!

Fancy a coffee, Smudge?

It must be chilly. Smudge is at the top of his cat tree above a radiator. He knows hot air rises.

This doesn’t seem as though it would be comfy but as it’s Smudge’s 7th birthday today, I am not going to quibble!

Couldn’t work out why my face hurts this morning. Then I realised it’s from smiling and laughing so much at @mattgreencomedy.com last night! Haven’t laughed so much in ages. Such a fun show. I suspect better than Tony Hadley…

Hoping someone will be able to give these lovely cats their home and their heart!

@hollyqueenofspayeds.com Do you have a link to your Amazon wish list please? I am hoping that with Black Friday fast-approaching there might be some bargains I can send your way! Sorry - I can't find it!

Excited for my Pott candle to burn out so that I can start the gorgeous-smelling refill I have on standby!

“It’s too cold outside. I’m staying in the warm.”

Lovely to have a hot water bottle this morning.

Mischief maker.

I popped this postcard from @worldofmoose.bsky.social by my cat’s food bowl to give him an ego boost while he eats. Just in case he ever doubts himself.

Not hibernating yet! 🦔

Sweet little Robin

Crossed paws.

My friend’s chickens sheltering from the rain this afternoon.

Some rather pretty fungi spotted in the woods today. No idea what type they are, but I like the frilly edges.

After a long night patrolling, best to curl up on a warm human lap.

Caturday snoozing.

Action shots of Smudge zoomies. Be afraid!

Incapussitated

My plan to start work early this morning has been waylaid by a pussy cat. He must have misunderstood when I said I needed my laptop.
