Diary of a cat servant: What is the proper term for a human supervision #Hedgewatch shift, @hedgewatchers.bsky.social ?

If this is not a wombat laughing at a great joke I don't want to know. #WombatWednesday @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: It was a dry morning and early afternoon and Ella spent it on a cushion next to her house. She suddenly got up, ate some of the food I left her, and climbed into the house. Ten minutes later we got heavy showers. #CatsKnow

Have you ever seen a more boopable wombat, friends? This is one of the lucky wombats cared for by the Wombat Rescue group. #WombatWednesday @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: When you have spent the whole day on #Hedgewatch you are entitled to a nap.

Today's #WombatWednesday on Bluesky is in honour of all our European and American pals stuck in the snow. #WombatWednesday @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: Sometimes all you want to do is hang out with your cat watching TV.

Diary of a cat servant: Ella doesn't think Blarg would mind her using his old bed for a #Hedgewatch shift. He was a lovely, generous man, our Blarg. 🩶

Okay folks, what do you think they said to each other? #WombatWednesday @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: Ella had an unexpected trip to the vet today. She is going to be fine but the need for her to go on a diet was discussed. This old photo gives you a sense of her opinion on the subject.

Diary of a cat servant: 🙀 OMC, Ella has a secret admirer. (This made me laugh so hard. Thank you to Ella's beau.)

Bonus wombats courtesy of the House of Le Rouge on #WombatWednesday. Thank you so much.

If you need a different perspective on the world our friend here is happy to help. #WombatWednesday @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: Do you remember the kitten I arranged to be rescued on Christmas Eve? Look how he is growing up (his adoption is pending). He is going to be one floofy cat. That ear floof! 😘

My #WombatWednesday friends and I are taking a moment to mark the passing of our beloved Eliot who was the most wombat like cat of all. 💔 @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: Ella was going to post a #KittyLoafMonday #Hedgewatch shift pic, but then comfort got in the way.

Diary of a cat servant: A #FlashbackFriday to 12 months ago when Ella handled the heat with her usual aplomb. 😁 #Hedgewatch FAB shift.

Diary of a cat servant: In the top left is our hero napping in her house. In the lower left is Whistle the Crested Pigeon who a few months back got stuck in the cat run and sat on top of Ella's house. Timing is everything. 😬😬

Wombats are usually solitary creatures but they seem to be able to share when necessary. Even if a tight squeeze. 😁 #WombatWednesday @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Australia Day is celebrated and debated by people with different perspectives, but I think that they could all agree Australia needs wombats.

Diary of a cat servant: When it is still 32C at 9pm (after a top of 40C) and you just need to get a #Hedgewatch shift in. Even though Wombat just wants to go back into the air-conditioned living room. 🙄

Diary of a cat servant: Today's #FlashbackFriday is to when Ella's viewing platforms were brand new and she got to #Hedgewatch other people's hedges in comfort.

When I look at a wombat photo I sometimes see myself. This is definitely me trying to get the bus in the morning. #WombatWednesday @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: Ella would like to remind everyone that taking care of yourself is something that matters. Caring for others matters too, but you need to take care of yourself in order to do that. #Hedgewatch DUVET shift.

I have always called them lickable treats, others call them licky sticks. How, other than by a brand name, do you refer to these incredibly popular treats, friends?? #Hedgewatch

Diary of a cat servant: When I say Ella played with it for months, I was not kidding. She is at least twice the size here at the end of March and she played with it until about May.

Diary of a cat service: #ThrowbackThursday to the time 14 years ago when I removed the top of the Christmas tree, and all the decorations, so that Ella could play with it. She played on it daily for months. 😁

Would you trade place with this little Wombat cheerleader, #WombatWednesday friends? @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social youtu.be/w_ZMAcAxcDw?...

Diary of a cat servant: Sometimes the best thing about a #Hedgewatch shift is just being in the great outdoors without even having to actually do much. Or at least that's Ella's view.

Diary of a cat servant: It's still 41.5C (got to 42) at 6 pm. (106F for those in America.) Hoping the heatwave is gone by the morning. Ella and I have been doing the only sensible #Hedgewatch - a DUVET shift in front of the AC. Thinking of the people impacted by bushfires.🤞

Diary of a cat servant: As eastern Australia swelters through a heatwave Ella would like to remind people to leave water out for birds and animals who will be struggling. If possible also leave a shallow vessel of water with a stick for lizards, bees, frogs, etc.

I was given a calendar from Wombat Rescue again at Christmas. You can see why I enjoy having it can't you #WombatWednesday friends? @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: Cats are liquid #Hedgewatch HEATWAVE shift.

Diary of a cat servant: one of the best things about being on holidays is the things that you don't have to do. Like complete a #Hedgewatch WILDLIFE shift before it accidentally becomes a DUVET shift.

Some of you may have seen that I helped a tiny kitten into foster care on Xmas Eve when it was found on its own in a hedge. I hope it ends up joining #Hedgewatch but in the meantime look what a difference a week's love and care can make.

Imagine sitting down to a New Year's Eve feast and finding the wombat has the best nosh. Happy 2026 #WombatWednesday friends. @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: I hurt my back last night so Ella is doing her best to help out between #Hedgewatch shifts.

For our #WombatWednesday submission we bring you the Wombat guide to a perfect Christmas day! We'll definitely be taking a leaf or two out of the Wombat's book! www.instagram.com/reel/DSWOF2p...

It's been a tough year for both Ella and I so it's a very great pleasure to be celebrating her 14th Gotcha Day today. I love her so much and she loves me almost as much as the lickable treat she had just finished when I took this. Happy Gotcha Day, Ella. 💋

Diary of a cat servant: I got my act together and mowed and trimmed around the pavers. Ella is pleased. #Hedgewatch

Diary of a cat servant: Today's #FlashbackFriday blurry photo is of Ella at her most innocent looking. Butter would not melt in her mouth. Much. Note the tattoo in her ear to indicate she had been desexed and her shaved belly.

After two very sombre days in Sydney, Ella and I are completing a #HedgewatchForBondi to remember the people killed when a Hanukkah celebration was attacked. As not all those killed were Jewish we say rest in peace and may their memories be a blessing. 🕎🕯️

Diary of a cat servant: Driveway conversations: "You said that you were having turkey at Christmas, Wombat. Do you want me to save you a trip to the shops?" "No thank you, Ella!!!" 😬😁

Diary of a cat servant: Today's #FlashbackFriday is to a 'blurry but can't delete' photo is to one when tiny Ella used to supervise my work from a pillow behind my shoulders. She was so adorable. Still is.

Sometimes when I am having a rough day I just look at wombats. I think that is a sign of sanity. What about you? #WombatWednesday @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

For the first time since he passed Ella has done a #Hedgewatch WILDLIFE shift from Blarg's bed. I like to think that he wouldn't object to her putting his "spot" to such good use. Particularly as two birds are eating just metres away.

From 35 left on the planet to 400 and now 3 new bubs. The clip includes a bonus climbable wombat 😬😁 @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social au.news.yahoo.com/experts-thri...

Diary of a cat servant: Today's #FlashbackFriday is to another of my blurry but can't delete photos from a #Hedgewatch WILDLIFE shift. She works so hard.

I seriously need your advice #WombatWednesday friends. Do I have too many Christmas Wombats? @miezebiene.bsky.social @madridnantes.bsky.social @kirstym53.bsky.social @scruffkit.bsky.social @smudgerandpixie.bsky.social @eliot-big-brofur.bsky.social

Diary of a cat servant: Sometimes a DUVET is the only shift option for a #Hedgewatch and Wombat is a decent substitute for a bed.
