I love when Gidget eats her lunch and leaves exactly one (1) kibble for later. Why yes Gidget, I’m sure that’ll make for a satisfying afternoon snack 😂

Update (17 minutes later): She ate the last kibble.

lmao I visited this purring noise generator , then X’d out of it, and next time I picked up my phone it got confused and started playing purring noises again even though the website isn’t open. Also, it won’t stop when I lock the phone now. I was about to restart the phone when I noticed that Gidget had started purring really loud as if to try to compete with the phone?! 🤣 And now she’s glued herself to my side as if to say “You don’t need purring phone, mummy… you have purring cat!”

Behold: the camp bed I slept on last night (it folds out from what’s usually a sofa) in the hope it’d prevent me catching the lurgy off Viv 😅 Very popular with cats, as it turns out.

Weighed Gidget for the first time since before I became unwell, and somehow over the weeks when it was mostly Vivian feeding her, she put on half a kilo? So she’s right back to where she was when the vet said she needed to go on a diet?! This cat has her daddy wrapped around her little toe beans…

Oh, and she’s decided she doesn’t like wet food any more, and she keeps chucking it on the floor in protest when we give it to her now. Dry food only, plzkthx. She’s lucky it’s impossible to stay mad with such a charming face.

Gidget has become a master troll this weekend… waking Vivian up in the middle of the night to feed her an early breakfast, then NOT EVEN EATING IT! 😂 By the time we wake up for real and head out to the kitchen, her food is still there. Just trying to keep her daddy on his toes, I guess!

I think Gidget is telling me I’m not allowed to put this load of clean laundry away today 😂

I know I’ve been slacking with the Caturday posts this month, so let’s try to rectify that! Here’s one of Gidget engaged in one of her favourite pastimes: scowling at the birds outside our windows.

Gidget is having a busy, noisy morning 😫

Happy Caturday, everyone! To celebrate, here’s a pic of Gidget on high alert. She will NOT let Vivian sneak anything by her with his “doing chores”…

RIP, dangly piggy toy.

You’ve been in our lives since Gidget was a tiny kitten. At first, Gidget was terrified of you, because of the high-pitched squeaking noise you made every time you were tossed about. Over time, Gidget overcame her fear, and enjoyed many a play session chasing your dangly self and subduing you with her ferocious bunny kicks and teeth. At some point, you stopped squeaking, but Gidget never let that deter her from a good battle.

Alas, today I found you with your dangly string fully chewed through. You aren’t even the first victim in our home in recent times; a couple of weeks ago, I found that Gidget an unnamed assailant had chomped through another dangly cat item, one she’d had almost zero interest in, ever, since we got it while she was still a kitten. (We thought she might sharpen her claws on it instead of the furniture… even with all the pheromone sprays in the world, how naïve we were.) It remains to be seen where the “dangly thing”-chewing bandit will strike next.
