so far, a piece of bread, a dead baby blackbird and some kind of rodent (also pre-dead, thankfully). These are the presents of the last 24 hours. The last one arrived in the last 5 minutes.
The bread was amusing. We heard her do the victory blorp last night, and were worrying about what kind of [...]

I awoke to a great commotion outside the bedroom door – the Mogret was miowing/blorping/chirping excitedly and insistently.
Then we noticed the half-a-whateveritwas that she was consuming.
Well that’s nice, Cat: bring us a present and then get overexcited and eat it yourself. Thanks.
I guess it’s baby-bird season, and there’s no amount of beeping collars that will [...]

We were starting to get a little concerned: she’s not allowed out at night, being nigh-on impossible to see, and it’s now dark. We’ve been calling and calling but no Mog.

For the last week or so, there has been a wailing, hungry young tom prowling round our neighbourhood. The Mogret is a bit bemused by this and hasn’t reacted with her normal anti-Other-Cat fury.

I’ve been at home all day; it’s a weird feeling – being off work and being alone in the house. Well, alone apart from the cat device.
The reason I’m off work is that I apparently have labyrinthitis. My husband says it’s caused by too much David Bowie, but I fear he is A Silly. I [...]

How does your cat wake you up? Assuming you have one, of course.
The Mogret has many tactics for awakening us; they vary in intensity and ignorability. Mostly she will start out with the typical greeting blorp, to let us know she has decided that it is Morning. If we fail to respond to this with [...]

The mogret and I have been playing hide and seek in the car park. It’s quite a strange experience, to be chased around by a year-old cat. She seems to really enjoy the game. I’m not sure what our neighbours think of me dashing around madly and lurking behind their cars. I’m quite sure they [...]
