Kitty Time at the Cinema
Ever watch the movie Winged Migration? I discovered it a couple of cats ago, and it’s never failed to mesmerize them. The filmmakers raised a flock of geese from the time they were eggs, and trained them to be unafraid of the ultralight aircraft they eventually used to film them in flight. It’s genuinely an…

cats in high places
Lola’s found a new perch, on top of a set of Ikea shelves in the kitchen. It’s the most elevated I’ve ever seen her, and she seems to like it there. I need to get her a nice cushion to relax on, so she can hang out while I’m cooking. That strange porcelain jug isn’t…

world, meet lola
When Lola arrived at my doorstep, she was already two years old. The young woman who was rehoming her called her “Lola” for over a year and a half, and I wasn’t about to change that … but I added “Falafel” to her forever name. It took her no time at all to find herself at…
