Her Majesty has had a miserable week with an eye injury. Vet trips, painkillers and eyedrops. Feeling very sorry for herself and sulky! But, she'll be fine. #caturday

6am. *sigh*

Clearing out the loft. Ground to a halt because we found this!

My neighbour has just knocked and given me a massive trifle as a thankyou for a favour. Apparently my son told her I didn't have a favourite 'tipple' but I did like sherry in a trifle. Love him (and her for seeing that one through) 😂😂😂😂😂😂

“Don’t compare yourself to others. There’s no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when it’s their time.” You are enough. 🧡 #kindness #love Picture by doodlesndreams

If you’re struggling to write a poem for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, take heart: even the great poets had to start somewhere.

T- minus 30 mins. Trip to vets. Wish us luck. Do not be fooled by adorableness. It's been our downfall. This is the 3rd rescheduled appointment. #ihatethecatbasket

After 3 weeks of migraine inducing hammering from neighbours right next to my head in bed, I've resorted to ACDC, Metallica and Foo Fighters full volume next to the wall on a loop and gone out. Any others loud music suggestions?

Her Majesty is in my bed. Very sensible given downpours and gales. So snuggly, I have to join her for a sneaky afternoon nap and cuddles.

What fresh hell is this?!?! Lyra's first snow experience. Bemused and not budging from the shelter of window ledge. Sensible catting.

#uksnow BN6 8/10 settling nicely north of the downs.

A quick reminder on how to contribute to uksnowmap.com ahead of any possible #uksnow tomorrow 👀 Post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode, and a snow rating x/10 and help draw a real-time map of where it is snowing in the UK.

I am genuinely gobsmacked at the size of the teens new shoes. Little ole size 4(37) me birthed bigfoot 😂😆😬

Update re: self heating cat cushion. Her Majesty prefers the packaging it came in.

The self heating cat cushion has arrived. Obvs she won't sit on it but.......🙄😂🙄😂🙄😂🙄

Word of the Day is ‘hunch-weather’ (19th century): weather so cold it makes you hunch your shoulders when you walk outside.

Happy #caturday. Her Majesty will not be venturing outside this morning 🥶🐱❄️🥶

The amazing @arts-cara.bsky.social is running a January art challenge, different topic each day, everyone welcome. Give it a go!

They've taken away my tree and decorations but they will never take my wrapping paper.

I made a glorious 70's retro trifle 😋 May have overdone it with the sherry 😆

Manga Shakespeare!!! Who knew eh?!?! My cousin is a genius. The teen will breeze GCSE English now.

The cat has just dragged in a bone 🦴😬🦴 What bizarre items have your pets bought home? #catsofbluesky #cats

Today we celebrate Boxing Day in the UK, so named because cats spend the day exploring empty boxes discarded from Christmas Day* *This may not be true

Father Christmas delivered a new toaster. A 4 slicer at that 🥳 Never been so much kitchen excitement this early in the morning experimenting with the settings. Nailed it!

Merry Christmas to you all. David Meowie the catnip toy is the hit pressie in our house this morning.

When my boy was little I read about Jolabokaflod and we've been doing it ever since. This Xmas eve is the first one he's bought me a book on his own, with his money and I have no idea what I'm in for!

Good Morning ☕ and Happy Caturday 🐈🐈‍⬛ I have studied many philosophers and even more cats The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior Paws for a moment and let the cat's grace brighten your day Time spent with a cat is never wasted What greater gift than the love of a cat

A year ago today HRH Lyra took charge of the household. #gotchaday #catsofbluesky

Word of the day is ‘bellycheer’ (16th century): feasting, gluttony, and ‘the gratification of the belly’.

Ran out of wrapping paper. So, my 50 yr old brother is the lucky recipient of Frozen, Happy Birthday paper leftover from a toddler party 11 years ago 😂
