I think I have promised here that I would not bore you with cat stories or cat pictures.

However, I am going to break my rule.

I looked out from the kitchen door yesterday morning...............

..........and saw Ting Ting playing high in the hazel bush on the lawn.

And then I got these snaps which I have decided are worth sharing - even with non cat lovers.

And the today happens to be the day on which he is being - how should I put it - 'unmanned' and he is on my mind.

So I'm happy that these pictures should mark the day and illustrate his virile agility in case, from here on in, he becomes a lethargic slob!
