Trying not to get mad about the people calling Ginny fat in the replies. 1. She's a perfectly healthy weight now, in the first photo she'd just been rescued from being a stray on the streets. 2. Don't comment on other people's/cat's weights, it's rude!

Back when I fostered cats, I would tell the adopters that I am always happy to receive updates on how they're doing in their forever home. Only one still regularly keeps in touch: Barney turned 2 today and has grown into such a handsome young man. 🥹

CW: pet death. Today marks six months since I finished my lunch break, walked upstairs and found that my beloved cat Willow had passed. I know I don't talk about her as much since I adopted Ginny but I still miss her, every single day. She was my world.

Heard yowling in the garden, Willow came flying in through the cat flap, sprinted upstairs and shook blood all over the floor. She has a scratch on her nose and on her forehead but otherwise seems fine. Which neighbourhood bully cat did this to my girl, I just want to talk. 😡

We scattered some of Willow's ashes around her favourite tree today. She loved that tree so much: she would spend hours sitting and sleeping under it, used it as shelter from the sun and rain, and as her own giant scratch post. Now she can be part of it forever.
