Oh to be a cat

Tomorrow morning I’m going to a café in Bedford (near where I live) called The Cat Café. It’s a café where you dine with cats! You sit down, have food and the cats roam around you. All of the cats there are rescues so they have some issues, for example, tilted necks, sensory issues and fragile bellies.
I’ll get pictures when I go!

Here are some photos of inside the Cat Cafe Bedford:
The cats like to climb on your table and on your laps. Luckily they have staff on patrol!
One of them, a white fluffy cat called Utange (after a Kenyan village), tried playing with us but fell over and meowed because he only has three legs. The white fluffy cat with black patches, called Anakin, is my favourite.

I unintentionally invented a new form of alarm clock. It wakes you up very early in the morning, making use of a cat's tendency to chew things. Here's how to make your own.
You will need:
- Ice pop plastic wrapper (×1 minimum)
- Cat (×1)
First place the ice pop plastic wrapper next to your bed. Here is the one I'm currently using. Notice it among the pile of mess:
I previously used multiple. The minimum is one, but you can use as many as you like. The more wrappers you use the better the effect.
Leave the bedroom door loosely open so the cat can enter as they please. Here is the cat I'm using:
Note: using multiple cats is not a good idea, so using one cat only will make for optimum results. If using multiple cats for the alarm clock, the centre of attention will be turned away from the wrapper and towards the other cats.
The cat should break into the bedroom early in the morning and begin chewing the plastic wrapper. If not then there's likely something wrong with the cat. The chewing noise will wake you up (it woke me up before 6am this morning). Great if you need to go to work early!
- On a serious note, this is actually quite effective. Willow regularly wakes me up because she chews the plastic I forget to bin. Just make sure the plastic isn't small enough to swallow and is a tad crunchy at the least and this alarm clock will work for you too.

20 years! Older than me! Old cats are so much fun. They’re not lively as the younger ones but they’re still charming.
I once stroked an 18 year old black and white cat who is very skinny and bony. She quickly grew attached to me and didn’t want to leave me alone. This encounter was at someone else’s house and when I was out of her sight she searched around the house for me and cried. She has the most amazing crispy meows.
Ginger cats, as with any tabby cat, are the coolest cats!

He rules the roost! Beats up the 50 lb dog. He was a stray we have had him for 19 years indoors. He may be older than 20! Was down to skin and bones last summer but figured out he had overactive thyroid and have that under control he put on 4.5lbs in a year back up to fighting weight! He only looks skinny now at bath time…..yes, he takes baths, goes for walks-rides in wagon with my daughter, rides around the house on my husbands shoulders. Lives the life of luxury, just like the rest of my animals!

Serious answer, I'm pretty sure it's because of their whiskers. Cats don't like shoving their ultra-sensitive whiskers against things too much (sensory overload). They only eat from the center of a food bowl because that's the only part of the bowl that they can eat from without a ton of whisker contact on the bowl.

Ok so I came home from school to find a small sparrow in the kitchen, desperately trying to escape through the window. Before I approached it the sparrow was hiding behind the plant pot. Turns out during the day Willow brought it home and fought my mum for it, hissing whenever my mum tried to extract the sparrow. Silly cat!
