She can be angelic when she wants to be…

A five month old rescue black ghost tabby called Shirley sat on a white windowsill, looking upwards through a white muslin net curtain draped window with big amber eyes, looking really innocent even though she is so naughty

She's even more gorgeous in the flesh too, absolute stunner and TINY (and you can tell she's just a gorgeous soul too)

Oh, he was! You should have heard the caterwauling. He got properly beaten up, my partner had to go out and break it up.

There’s currently a feline face-off in our garden between our step cat Ozzy and a huge ginger tom - Warren is getting an education with a front row seat…

We’ve taught Warren to fetch. He absolutely loves it and is obsessed with rolled up paper balls - he drops them at out feet now when he wants to play.

Bought the kittens a new cat bed.

still can't get over this guy's markings, how anyone could have just dumped him and his siblings in a box is unfathomable...

I woke up this morning with both her and her brother sleeping on top of me. I am literally their slave...

Hahaha the nose tap (nice that it's polite though) xx

She just had a 10 minute fuss fest, but decided that was simply not long enough...

I’m trying to work. This is what is currently the other side of my laptop - Shirley is being very needy and is not allowed on my work desk, so is trying to claw my make up bag off the table.

Spilled some seed earlier this morning filling up the bird feeder. It’s like a Disney cartoon out there now.

Threw away a one nil lead to come away with a draw - should have got Kelly on after half time - but still, great to be back at the Emirates, AND bumped into my dear friend Katia on the Tube home. Literally sat opposite me. Pretty impressive in a city of 9.84m people…

Warren was ready for his close up this afternoon. He’s such a gorgeous boy and so loving and purry (and crazy).

Shirley is obsessed with sport on telly, and it turns out she’s an AWFC fan too, result!

Shirley makes a mockery of the myth you can’t take good photos of black cats 🐈‍⬛ 😻😸

This is such a wonderful, honest and heartfelt piece from @theguyliner.bsky.social. I lost my childhood best friend when we were 15, and I still think about her. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
