Me: I’m going back to work today, will you miss me?

On the last Caturday of the year the great hunter hides where nobody can see it and lays in wait for unsuspecting feet to walk by. 🐈

A black and white cat looking at the camera. Her fur is black on top of her head and around her eyes and her jaw and nose are white. She is laying under a couch and hiding behind a throw rug. A green carpet on the ground. A couch has a white throw rug over it and the black tail and back leg of a cat is poking out. The rest of the cat is hidden.

On Caturday we try and work out where the spider has disappeared to.

I get wine, the cat gets a box. We call that a win/win on Caturday.

A black and white cat sitting in a shallow box that is orange inside. On the inside of the box lid is white wording that says - Apparently ‘wine’ is not an appropriate answer to ‘what motivates you?'

We have entered the “feed me” part of the afternoon according to the cat. 🐈

I walked away from my chair for two minutes to refill my water bottle. 🐈

I do admire Ms Ali’s commitment to sitting perfectly still, with big wide eyes, whenever a bird lands on the balcony outside. The next phase is quietly slipping down to sit near the screen door that keeps her inside.

The Cat versus the Currawong is a story on constant repeat here. The currawong has been quite active out on the balcony today and madam has been beside herself. Barely moved from her spot near the screen door where she can glare at it and make that weird little noise cats do.

Waking up earlier these days so I’m putting that extra time to good use. I’m sitting for about 20-30mins in my chair reading so The Cat can jump up beside me. Any day that starts with a cat on your lap is going to be a good day.
