Spot the cat!

Since getting Freya, Anna’s developed an amazing talent for spotting Leopard print items! (Of course we’re obsessed!)

So far, in a few short weeks from the local charity shops, we’ve got a leopard print cushion, hot water bottle cover, and get this – a fetching leopard print satin bed sheet!!! Can you imagine anyone buying that new? (outside the 70s of course) It’s great for 50p, but I’m not sure I’d ever put it on my bed!

Yes, I beamed, she’s a Bengal…

What a lovely start to the day.

More about the wee problem

I’d wiped it on the wall where she sprayed, all over the floor, and even left the soaked citronella cloth in the middle of the patch.

And she wee’d on the cloth!!

I have a suspicion that she likes her litter tray to be especially clean and clear, so I’m trying to be more fastidious about scoping her litter tray, and ..read more

Going outside

We’re still in the planning stages of letting her outside (read: we’re building up the courage to do it) and she’s actually remarkably good at wearing her harness.

We walked out at the front of the house yesterday, and she really seemed keen to go back in – although when I carried her out in my arms, she was fine and calm, but then, that doesn’t really count as excercise, does it?

We’re trying to take her outside ideally once ..read more
