My little cat is so damn fussy. I ran out of her normal Whiskas food a few days ago and the local supermarket doesn’t have any of the same kind. I tried buying other kinds & she properly turned her little nose up. Supermarket own-brand, fair enough. I sometimes turn my own nose up at that, but Felix? She wouldn’t even consider it. I ended up giving her my last tin of tuna fish to stop her looking at me accusingly.

I was once informed by a 7 year old kid who was going to look after Tia while I went away on holiday that cats only like Whiskas.

Quite how she knew that seeing as she’d never had a cat before I can’t guess, but as it turns out….. she’s right.

At 4:30am this morning I was woken up by my cat’s blood curdling scream. She was in a fight with one of the neighborhood bruisers in my kitchen. I rushed in and broke it up, but the damage had been done.

Judging by how freaked out she was and how she’s been hiding in my sock drawer at the bottom of my cupboard all morning I’d say she came off worse. In fact, I think it’s fair to say she got her little kitty head kicked in, poor thing.

This evening I collected Tia from the family who’ve been looking after her recently. She’s made an amazing recovery from getting run over and breaking her pelvis. Even the vet who fixed her didn’t think she was going to make it at the time. But here she is, back in the office. A little wonky perhaps, and certainly not quite as agile as she once was, but she’s not in pain anymore and happily covering everything in her white hair. I’ll give her a few days to settle in and then let her out into the real world for the first time since the accident.

I’m very happy to have her back. I’ve missed the little tyke. She’s had a turbulent summer – not just getting hit by a car, but also being moved around the valley a lot. She’ll stay with me here in the office for the next few weeks and then move with me up to Le Tour, where she’ll have some time to establish a bit of territory and settle down again. At some point in the New Year her kitty passport will be valid and it’ll be time for her to go back to England, but that’s a long way off at the moment.
