Freya’s Collar

I took Freya’s collar off a couple of days ago…

One evening, i noticed that she seemed to be scratching it every 5 minutes, and I couldn’t work out why, since she’d pretty much got completely used to it by now.

I’m still on the search for the perfect collar that I want – it’s a kind of woven material, in black. Simple eh? But you try finding one of those that DOESN’T have cutesey paw prints on it, or in ..read more

Proud moments

I had a client round today, and I did the usual round of “are you ok with my cat” etc, and he cooly proclaimed, “ahh yes, we have an office cat too, she’s called rowly” and on cue, Freya jumped on my lap.

Yes, I beamed, she’s a Bengal…

What a lovely start to the day.

We’re trying to take her outside ideally once ..read more

A couple of updates… Tigers and STINKY!!

Looking at the last batch of pics, I loved the one with her mouth open, and so I thought I’d enlarge it a little. click for an even biger version – I love the way her bottom lip pulls down – looks a bit like a big cat’s mouth. (Hey, if all her kittens look like lions, I can imagine she looks like a tiger!)

Her wee problem is still ongoing. One suggestion was to put some citronella oil down ..read more
