I forgot about Caturday until the next day again 🙈 At any rate, here’s Gidget, incensed that the magpies are dropping by regularly again after a couple of months in which we hardly saw them. Don’t these magpies understand that this is CAT territory! 😤

It’s Caturday! Here’s a pic of Gidget from earlier today, after she successfully convinced Viv to let her outside not on her leash, then promptly jumped the fence to the construction site next door 😩 When he went to look for her, she snuck back. Satisfied with a job well done

Had a really productive writing day yesterday, and then we were charged with babysitting Viv’s nephew, which meant hanging out with Gizmo’s parents, Beautiful and Patches! 😂 They claimed lots of pats, scritchies and belly-rubs, as we watched five hours of The Simpsons 🙈

Yesterday when we were taking Gizmo on his weekly beach walk, we encountered this ADORABLE puppy! It may have been overwhelmed by the amount of activity on the beach, or else just overdue for his nap, but he first collapsed between Viv’s feet for a nap, and then on Emma’s foot 🤣 Gizmo was VERY unhappy about this interloper, and whimpered jealously about his humans fussing over dogs that aren’t him…

I know it’s been really quiet on this blog lately, and I haven’t done a Caturday post in like a month, so why not address both issues in one go? 🙈 Here’s Gidget, chillin’ in one of her favourite spots (on a cardboard box). 🐈

Yesterday Viv and I went to babysit (or hang out with, really; she’s pretty responsible) Viv’s niece. What that also meant was… getting to hang out with their dog, Daisy! 😁 Daisy was a good sport about having his photo taken with me, only requesting many tummy rubs in return.

It had been a while since the previous time, because my Dad needed to recover from his operation and then last week Vivian had the flu, but last night GIZMO VISITED! And he’s been groomed recently, so he was looking beautiful, too 💕

I didn’t completely forget about Caturday yesterday, but I did forget to upload a picture 🙈 Nonetheless, it’s still Caturday somewhere in the world, so here we go! Here’s Gidget, outraged by the return of the magpies after they’d been away a couple of weeks.

Happy Caturday, everyone! Here’s a photo of Gidget, looking very comfortable indeed as she soaks up belly rubs from my partner 😜 No one tell her that cats aren’t supposed to tolerate belly rubs, all right?

How is anyone supposed to resist when she looks as cute as this?! The answer is… you’re not meant to 🙂 Happy Caturday, everyone.
