Mad Mackerel and Growly Batface are doing exactly as you’d hope after their spays; bright, eating well, healing nicely and very much themselves.

Huge thanks to Hall Court Veterinary Group in Dinnington for taking such excellent care of them.

The kind of tired that only comes from a full day of being tiny and fierce. Goodnight 🖤🌙

Body care often gets overlooked, but a simple, well-chosen routine can make a real difference to how you feel. BODY DETOX brings together exfoliation, nourishment, and comfort to support a more considered body ritual, whether you’ve got five minutes or time to properly unwind. 🌿 #UKGiftHour🎁 🧵 1/2

My little helper, fully committed to quality control. 🐾
Very serious about keyboards, deadlines, and making sure I take breaks.

We appear to have run out of sausage snacks.
This is not a drill.
If anyone has seen them, or has emergency supplies, please advise immediately. 🐾🤍

Mad Mackerel.
One of the foster kittens I share this space with.
Judging me, judging you. 🤍

Two sisters I fostered last autumn for Cat Man Jules (Sheffield) reached a big milestone this week. Mad Mackerel (tabby) and Growly Batface (calico) arrived here nervous and watchful. They’re now confident and settled; they have just been spayed and are now ready to move on to their forever homes. 🤍

I know we’ve only just taken down the tinsel, and I’m absolutely refusing to acknowledge the chocolate eggs already eyeing us up in the supermarket, but is it too early to mention Valentine’s Day? 🤍

A big thank you to the very kind soul who donated this IAMS kitten food for the fosters. It’s hugely appreciated and will be very happily put to use by some growing kittens. Support like this really does make a difference. 🤍

Absolutely no interest in being domesticated. 🤍

I don't watch TV, but some things still manage to find you. This made me smile, since I volunteer with another Cat Man (Jules) here in Sheffield. Entirely unintentional overlap, but cats do love a gentle coincidence. 🐾
