At lunchtime, I stepped out on the patio to take the spring air, and heard a small miaow from somewhere. “That sounds like Lilliphant”, I said to Pete. We called and called, but no sign, and then there was the noise again. Further investigation found that she had managed to get shut in the shed […]
Lilith has lived with us since December 2003. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before how standoffish she is, indeed she’s pretty much a sociopath with us. In recent weeks, she has taken too sitting on Pete’s lap, but only if she is put there. This seems to us to be a huge stride forward, and one […]
we were visited on Sunday by Heather, who hadn’t been to the house before, and thus had not met the Tribe. various beasts wandered in and out of the living room while we fed her coffee and home made blueberry muffins, and a potted history of each cat was given. When Lilith arrived, we told […]

we tipped the last of (I think) the Omega bikkit into the bikkit bowl, and put a huge sack of Go Cat into the plastic swingtop bin where we keep bulk bikkit. Lilith was spotted, standing on the small bin where we keep the bread flour, having tipped up the bin lid; she had the […]
we went to Torpoint. We have returned *without a kitten*. we started out with good intentions and high hopes. I found a breeder who had only one kitten available, and that only seven weeks old. So we couldn’t come home with her, because she is far too young. So far, so good. we saw the […]
