#namingofcats My tabby cat is called Tallulah, Lula for short. Cat naming being what it is, over time that became Lulaboo. So when we got our kitten Spike, he of course became the Babyboo. But tell that to a non cat person and they will look at you as if you have lost your mind

Just brought my kitten home from the vet. The nurse assured me he wouldn't be able to get out of the buster collar.

So much for "1000 mile" socks. I walk a lot but I am pretty sure I did nothing like 1000 miles before these went into holes

This little miss is learning to use the cat flap. By "use it" I mean that she will go in and out through it if I grovel on the floor holding it open for her #Caturday
