We called this one Humbug because of the colours of the toes on its left front paw:

This wee one visited us quite often. We called him Wonky because he walked funny & didn't seem quite right in the head:

Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Wonky sounds great.  :)

In a while, you'll need to go no a kitter hunt...
It is simpler than it looks.

Wonky was cute in a bonkers sort of way.  :-*
I don't think it's fair to get another kitty right now what with Mojo being effectively both deaf and blind now - just making his way round The Igloo is an undertaking.
I may well be in desperate need of a lap, but I reckon Mojo's needs are greater than mine  :-\

I'm glad it's not just me that sees visiting a new place as an excuse to befriend random cats...

This is Meisiekind, one of the cheetah we sponsor at a sanctuary in South Africa (not my photo- Maxi at the sactuary took it)


We got bad news this morning. She had been causing concern recently as she was sometimkes unsteady on her feet and occasionaly couldn't stand. The staff were worried about a virus or infection but the vet was unable to diagnose. On the vets last visit, Meisie died. Susbsequent post mortem revealed a brain tumour. Our beautiful lady has gone :'(

We still sponsor Gia, my thumb sucking baby-




We hope to return to the sanctuary next spring to help out again but, the prospect of not seeing Miesiekind again is very sad.

For a change from Kai and Zev, here's one of the neighbouring cats. who I often walk past on my way to Sainsburys (only a hundred feet or so from my house).


He (or she) is much bigger than Zev and Kai, I'd reckon on him being 7 or 8kg, although I haven't picked him up to make an estimate.  Unlike Kai, who is a lot of long fur, this cat is very solid, with a short coat.

For all that he's quite possibly the local bruiser, to humans he is quite friendly, and always happy to be petted, often giving a small friendly "meow" in response.  There's a slightly smaller and less sociable black and white cat, that I think is a fellow house cat, since they're often in not very close proximity!

Today he was draped across that gateway post, a couple of houses down from where I think he lives (and where his colleague was relaxing in the driveway), his head popped up when I stopped to scratch his ears and say "hello" to him.
Actually, it is rocket science.

... and just to address the lack of Zev-ness.  Zev, last night, just after she came in wet due to a passing shower, and stopped on the bed to wash and dry herself off.


With this effect!  The cats actually have a door mat on the cat flap, and the bedroom is about as far away from the cat flap as it's possible to get in the house, so how does Zev still manage to get to me with wet and muddy paws? :)

It was actually worse than this photo suggests, but it's been taken off now, and put into the laundry (which was due to happen anyway).

Actually, it is rocket science.
