It is just a snapshot but a good one I think. But I would say that as I took it! This is where I have breakfast in the morning. You can see that I am about to prepare it because I have a folded tablecloth on the kitchen counter with The Sunday Times newspaper and …
I have brazenly lifted the title to this post from the Catster.com website. The title interested me. I thought how often do people see domestic cats humping? For the sake of complete clarity humping is slang for sex. I mean we don’t see it very often do we? We might see it more often with …
Handsome, mischievous boy, isn’t he? My cat is sitting on top of the overhang part of a cat confinement fence that encircles my garden. He accepted the fence and being confined for 18 months and then escaped by chewing through the plastic netting. Here he is chilling out on top of the fence. This is …

After three months in my new home my cat, Gabriel, decided to go back to my previous home to visit his previous ‘home range’ which is about half a mile away. That’s not far but the route is complicated. It is not direct. It goes to prove yet again that cats have great homing skills. …

My cat calls me to go out with him at night. He’s just done it. It was about 9:30 pm. I think I am imprinted on his brain as his mother/father. Today I took him for a walk. I walked around the block and then called him and he followed me just like a dog. …
This photo gives an impression he loves my camera but he runs from it. As the camera is the subject matter of the photo, I took it with a tablet computer (Sony Duo) that I was transferring the image files to. The image quality is not great partly because the tablet computer camera is not …
I was in deep slumber. Gabriel, my cat, charges into the bedroom squeaking his arrival (he’s not learned to meow). He does this but it is usually later at around 6 am after a night’s carousing and hunting. He worries me. He wakes me up. I mumble a response because I think it is good …
This shows my cat Gabriel messing around under the duvet for about 30 seconds. He was only in this sort of position for around 15 seconds so I had to move fast. This is actually a slide show. You’ll see other photos if you use it. Some are of him and a wild parakeet he …
Only domestic cats can do this: eat human food such as cooked chicken as a treat and then break off from eating it to catch a fly in mid-air and eat it immediately; then return to the cooked chicken, enjoying both equally. The domestic cat is directly between wild and fully domesticated and when they …

My cat, Gabriel has reached a time in his life when he should have the opportunity to explore the outside under supervision and, to a certain extent, under controlled conditions. I have been taking him out on a harness and leash for about a month, twice daily. These two pictures show him outside, free-roaming, with …
My cat loves the laser pointer and can’t get enough of it which has made me reassess how good this cat toy is. Yep, it’s Gabriel again and he is fascinated by a newly discovered laser pointer (I was given it as a present over Christmas). He is so fascinated by it I think it …
An slightly ethereal photo of Gabriel under in the bed with me. It is Photoshopped to a certain extent to remove me 😉 – I was lying next to him . Also it is converted to B&W and I added a bit of blur to the background areas. Gabriel likes to join me in bed …
This is little, charming Gabriel, my darling boy cat, making a sinister smile and his beady eyes are looking sinister too. A pure illusion. He is not sinister, of course. It is just the way his mouth is formed. It is nice, though, that he can give the illusion that he is smiling human-style 😉 …
Make of it what you will. I have seen a few fat squirrels lately. Is this preparation for hibernation? No, grey squirrels don’t hibernate, which means he is a glutton. As it is Christmas, it made sense to make him a Santa Squirrel. What is the connection to cats? My cat Gabriel likes to chatter …
I suppose this is a classic example of how anything – usually rubbish – which comes to hand, can be a great cat toy. Gabriel can play for up to an hour constantly and without my involvement (other than supplying the homemade cat toy). He follows the usual domestic cat schedule: morning and evening activity …
