Every single time I put the ironing board up the cat jumps straight on to it. If only she could do the ironing as well. 🐈

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

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.
