Rainy day? She has the right idea. Be more Cat.

Small grey cat, paw and face peeking out from under the duvet. The kind of loom that says I'm so adorable, you need to snuggle under the duvet with me.

Appears that my home office is now a co-working space. Not much work being done though. 😴😹

GCSE results day in our house. The most disappointing aspect was none of the teenagers went to the park, downed 2 litres of cheap cider and smoked a spliff after. The youth of today 🤷‍♀️😂 #gcse #gcseresults

I is so sleepy 😴 been up since 5am, so time for a nap, squished in the most uncomfortable place I can find but it's handy for keeping 1/2 an eye on my garden. You know, just in case birdies, mouses or my arch enemy pass by.

Grey cat, squished on a windowsill, droopy eyelids and annoyed the hooman woke her up.

She didn't wake me up today. Panic. Searched the house thinking she was ill and hiding. Turns out Lyra (aka Houdini) has figured out how to push open narrow inaccessible, high up, teeny windows to escape into the night.

Cat staring up at sky through window. Looking very elegant but actually hatching a plan to escape.

🤷‍♀️ cushion not good enough for her majesty? My wierdo cat. #caturday

Big garden bench with big orange cushion covering the seat. Grey cat squished onto the teeny bit of bench not covered by cushion.

Her Majesty is a scaredy cat. Everything scares her, but not, it appears thunderstorms. First cat I've had that hasn't hidden in terror. Happy watching with me.

Grey cat sat on windowsill staring at equally grey and stormy clouds.

My humans are back from their holiday so I'm being the prettiest, cutest most adorable good girl I can be. So they never leave me again. #guilttrip #catsofbluesky

Sleeping grey cat snuggled into a ball, legs and feet's up by my head in a muddle. I am so pretty.

It's Monday shenanigans. No sign of the cat, will have to send out a search party 🙄😉😆

A stripy rug. A corner of the rug is lumpy and bumpy, all messed up. The cat is hiding under it. She thinks I don't know where she is.

She's found the one shady spot where a slight breeze comes through the back gate, bless her. Come 9pm when it's cooler they'll be back to full throttle!
