Yes - I think the selection of celebs has been very good - at least I’d heard of a fair number of them! Not sure who I want to win between Cat and Alan (though I think Alan has spoilt his chances)

Love it! Only started watching Traitors a couple of series ago but got quite obsessed with it. How about you?

Since what I assume is a new version of the @bsky.app most of the early morning people I follow seem to have disappeared - and my usual way of reposting articles from eg the @theguardian.com doesn’t seem to work … (Alternatively everybody has muted me?)

I don’t expect anything better from the Mail, Sun, Times,Telegraph etc but the BBC devoting hours of airtime to this nonsense on an almost daily basis is unforgivable

It doesn't matter how many beds I've got - my favourite is always a cardboard box!
Betty put a cushion and blanket in this one and it was perfect.
I've heard that many cats prefer boxes too.
Did you know that?

Auntie Sammy took this photo of me - it's good, isn't it!
She always makes a big fuss of me and of course, I love it.
She also feeds me because I give her a special look to tell her I'm starving, even though I've just been fed by Colin! Betty says I've trained her well.
