Our friend's cat that was 20 years old has just died, she had been toothless for the last 5 years but still managed to carry on and was a bit cranky at times but she was very much loved, so sad.

My cat joined us when I was about 6. She was found as a tiny kitten by our neighbour and he took her home. She used to come and hang out with my sister and I and eventually she became ours! She did everything with us - paddling pool, trampoline, walks to the river (and then cried to be carried the whole way home) etc. She was my constant companion growing up.

I move down out when I was 17 for Uni. Whenever I went home for holidays, she would ignore me for the first day and then become my shadow after she was satisfied I was suitably on notice she was not happy with me.

Oh no I can't pack in front of the cats or they go bonkers. We have to wait until they are in a deep sleep somewhere before we can get the suitcase out of the cupboard.

He is very handsome. He is very similar to our daughter's Seamus (who sadly disappeared in November last year).

My sister just got back from a trip and said one of her cats jumped in the luggage and refused to get out!

Another new activity one of my cats has started doing since I get back - he jumps / climbs up, puts his paws on my left shoulder than hugs me for 30-60 seconds and pushes his head against my head. While I love it I’m starting to wondering if the cat sitter didn’t get on as well as I thought!

Yesterday Boots did the hug thing three times across the day purring each time.

To think he was abandoned with his sister in a box on the side of the road in the rain. They both provide some much love each day.

This is Boots after a hug he decided to rest on my shoulder and his right paw. If cat’s purring on you makes you healthier I’m in for a long healthy life.


This is his sister Juno encouraging me to sleep in on a Saturday morning.

Normally I can’t take photos of them when they ‘pin’ me to the bed or couch but just occasionally I have a phone nearby.

The only time they look disappointed is when I leave for work in the morning, but I get a welcome home each night that counter balances the sad faces in the morning.

Our Mog passed away almost 10 years..however found an amazing young artist who painted him from very poor quality photos . She definitely catches his look

Just so sweet.

I'm home sick with some sort of stomach virus. Felicity is taking every opportunity for snugs.

Edit: cant upload the dang photo!

There she is. Snuggle city.

Those of us who've been owned by cats know this, but for others:

Far from being aloof and living largely separate lives from their human, cats rely on us for their emotional wellbeing.

'The news cat lovers have been waiting to hear.' They love you, really

They're capable of forming dog-like bonds.

We have our house guest back. In our apartment now as opposed to the house. A bit blurred but a mutual boxing match. Then stand off. Then retreat of house guest to her ‘en-suite bedroom’.

I'm guessing Lex couldn't give 2 hoots about the bed… he's just waiting for you to empty his new box!

We were at the cricket at Optus Stadium and there was an announcement of a recall of sandwiches and wraps. Luckily we had decided to get there for the afternoon and evening sessions and we hadn’t eaten a dodgy sandwich on a 40 degree day.
NZ lost well so there was no need to play a further day.
