For those interested, this may compile into an indicator of what my pet is doing at any particular moment.

Bad Cat likes to roll around in the (empty) bath in the Epic Battle with that Fiendish Tail. She's been battling that tail all her life and it still gets the better of her. I like it when she walks along, twitches her head back to notice her tail and then pretends she hasn't, so she can pounce on it unsuspected a few seconds later.

Little Monster Cat is currently sitting on my notepad, which isn't helping as I'm trying to write a report based on what's written on it. It's time for her mortal enemy to make an appearance: the Laser Pointer.

Pumpkin and Ninkasi are unknowingly enjoying their last night with all their reproductive giblets intact. Bet it's quiet tomorrow night....

Ignore the certificate it's my test server and I've not yet got a proper certificate.

2 cones of shame. Not much sign of them doing as they're told and resting quietly. Ninkasi keeps getting her lampshade stuck on the floor, and Pumpkin smashed my bedside lamp almost as soon as she got home.

Morphy has just had an essential operation. This was carried out by Dez and involved hacking loads of felted fur from behind Morphy's front legs. Dez sat on floor with legs outstretched, Morphy lay on his back between Dez's legs, and hacking commenced. Morphy didn't complain a great deal - just the occasional mumble - and he has since been rewarded with a suitable quantity of liver cake.

Barry and Isabella the Adolescent Cats have just conquered the cat flap. It's a right of passage.

Flynn, my cockatiel is busy pondering on whether he was named after Kevin Flynn of TRON fame, or Erol Flynn of Robin Hood fame!
Guess I should see if he is a dab claw at using a wee cockatiel sized bow and arrow, or a wee cockatiel sized TRON light cycle

Here is a hint

And...

Not Barbara Flynn then?

Being very bemused and not sure about our new foster dog from Romania. Who just arrived smelling very dirty, kennely and pooey. Pictures to come when there is day light.

Being whippets both are asleep on their backs with legs in every direction. It's a whippety life for some!

Whippets have so many legs, don't they! The most adorable of dogs.

Probably destroying something. To prevent Bad Cat from pulling up the stair carpet (her latest thing), we made an avenue of stuffed toys (she's scared of stuffed animals). Thwarted! Except we came back yesterday evening to find little scraps of black paper around the living room. Couldn't think what it could be, but it was noticeable around the TV. Occurred to me later that's she's been eviscerating the subwoofer. Yup, shone a light inside the speaker hole and she's had her paws inside. Still seems to work. I'm having that bloody cat euthanized later.

Pete is fast asleep, after a tiring morning of being fast asleep.

Twix is, currently, bravely battling with a blade of grass that he managed to hunt down earlier. Oreo, meanwhile, is sat under the bird feeder, mouth open.

If what happened to me on today's ride is anything to go by, that may not be an optimal strategy...

Bad Cat just ate my contact lens.

Was it in your eye at the time?

I think that creature needs a spell in a Cat A prison.

Fortunately, it wasn't in my eye. I'd just got back from a nice ride en velo and was preparing for an evening of beer and bad TV (as my wife, for some reason, is in Altrincham). With one lens marinating in solution, I turned around to turn the shower on so the water would be toasty by the time I'd taken out the second lens. Except when I turned around there was Bad Cat eagerly lapping the up the contents of the case. Then she makes the groo-what's-in-my-mouth motions before I see a glint of blue lens disappear in the direction of her belly. Then she jumps down and wanders off. Result: empty contact lens container. No lens, no solution. I should know better, she loves lens solution.

She's off to cat prison next week, as we're both away. We once jokingly considered that perhaps we could just leave her at home for a few days, unsupervised, have someone come feed her like we used to do with our previous cat. How we laughed.
