The wait is over and the big night is here. No, not Botanical Week on the Great British Bake-Off (although I am curious, since nobody understands what it means). I mean Hallowe’en, of course. We are a little nervous as we don’t know how we will contain Louis Catorze, given that we will be opening…

What is your favourite form of physical exercise? I love walking. However, TW8 is a very doggy neighbourhood, and dog people love walking, too. It’s not the dogs that are the problem but, rather, what I might step into whilst walking. I remain traumatised by that time I saw Cat Daddy step on one dog…

Cat Daddy and I were out walking one day when he said, “Look! There’s a cat! A ginger one!” Me: “Where?” Him, pointing: “It just went into that hedge.” I looked, but was just too late. I peered at the other side of the hedge to see if the cat would come out but, a…

What makes a good neighbour? Cat Daddy and I have always been extremely lucky with our neighbours. Over the years we’ve had one neighbour* who was quite unpleasant, and another** who was just downright odd, but everyone else has been delightful. *I saw her let her dog go to piss on our front wall and,…
-
What have you been working on? Never mind me: what are CATS working on? What the heck are they all up to? Mark my words: something is afoot. At the weekend, Cat Daddy and I went to Brompton Cemetery, where they host a series of spooky events throughout the month of October. Our talk on…

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? Yes and yes. Et alors?

*WARNING: THIS POST GIVES AWAY THE PLOT OF NEVER LET ME GO. IF YOU INTEND TO READ IT, AND WANT TO BE SURPRISED WHEN YOU DO, STOP READING NOW.* I run a book club at school, and we have just read the fabulous Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. If you haven’t read it,…

What is your favorite hobby or pastime? I love watching horror films. I have just watched one called Crawl, which is all about a girl and her dad who end up trapped in the crocodile-infested, rapidly-flooding crawl space under their house during a storm. It’s pretty silly – the girl is a competitive swimmer (believable)…

I am at my sister’s house for our traditional Halloweekend celebration of baking, crafting and horror films, whilst Cat Daddy has a lads’ weekend at Le Château with Louis Catorze. My sister has just discovered bats living in her maple tree and my nieces, aged seven and five, went absolutely … well … batshit upon…

I’ve just been looking after Blue the Smoke Bengal whilst his mamma was on holiday and, on the last day, the big sod brought me a mouse. I knew he was up to something because I could see him in the garden, with his head in the shrubbery and his tail swishing suspiciously. Then, when…
-
Who are your favourite artists? There is a lot of art that I like. However, for me, there is a clear distinction between “I like looking at that” and “I would have that in my house”. Very few pieces manage both. Someone who DOES attain that holy grail of the shared segment in the Venn…

On Friday evening Louis Catorze was badgering us to let him out at The Front, so Cat Daddy obligingly opened the window. This has happened many times before without incident but, on this occasion, Catorze poked his head through the open window, yowled and swished his puffy tail. And some unknown being outside was yowling…

So … cats and séances. You probably won’t like the idea of your sweet little kitty communing with evil spirits, but they’re all at it. It’s not just the black vampire cats, although blackness and vampirism do somewhat increase the chances of evil doings. (Don’t ask me how I know this.) If cats are in…

What skill would you like to learn? I have recently joined a Smart phone photography social media group. People post their original shots versus the edited versions, and everyone compares the two and tells them whether they’ve gone a bit overboard or got the balance right. People mainly post landscapes and human portraits in the…
