As you know, I am a cat-lover, well an animal-lover really, but our lives and home are shared with two amazing cats: Jazz and Daisy. They have occasionally been photographed and mentioned in my blogs and both have contributed many times by walking over my keyboard - sadly their spelling is the pits, so I have to proof-read their work very carefully.
I follow a cat on Facebook called Hugo Boss - yes, it's true, that's his name. He is a gorgeous black and white boy who recently disappeared. Thankfully his owners tracked him down after he had been missing for about 6 days - as you can imagine they were frantic with worry. Having had a cat of ours go walkabout a few years ago, I can understand how they felt. As we all know cats are hunters, very inquisitive, love to play and think there are no boundaries to their world; because of their tendency to 'walk right in' they often get 'shut right in'.
My mid-week post is really a reminder to check your sheds, garages and summerhouses before you close them up for the night. We all tend to leave these sorts of buildings open during the day at this time of the year, and cats wander in, find somewhere cozy, drop off to sleep and sometimes get shut in. Most cats will run off as soon as they hear an unfamiliar voice, but there are those cats (Jazz wants to be friends with everyone!) who like to stop and chat for a while, so it is important to bear this in mind when closing the door.That's my mid-week post, but thought it worth adding that as well as following Hugo Boss on Facebook I also follow Larry the Downing Street cat on Twitter (@Number10cat). Believe me, they are both very good on the computer so do check them out.
Enjoy the rest of this week everyone - I will be back on Sunday with my weekend post.
