Cat's Mind

Jane Pawsten



Mittens left yesterday and because we couldn’t get a photo of her up while she stayed ( too shy), we’re posting this one taken when mum came to pick her up, but it’s not a very good one. She’s much cutter live.

Lovely Mittens


Ollie and Stevie finally out and about!

Gizmo and Bailey went to the groomers and Bailey had to be clipped, so we made him a sweater and he seems to like it!

The perfect cat hug

Cats featured today: Blurpy, Chino, Chloe H, Chloe O’, Flash, Gidget, Oliver, Sabrina and Shelley.

Nearly disgustingly cute, but I had to post it anyway

The blogger continues with a bad back so the photos are not as good as they could be. Glorious days and not so cool nights, full house this weekeend.

Flash back for a visit, look at that beautiful face

Magic only got up to get a cuddle

Cats featured today: Beau, Chloe, Gabbie, Gidget, Meggs, Oliver, Sabre, Shelly and Smokey.

Check out this quirky story and unbelievably beautiful photos in a NY gallery show  Dutch By Carlos Rene Perez: there is a cat in Dutch.




Very cool morning but it never lasts long, so by noon we were peeling of the jumpers and enjoying the glorious sun. A few faces lingering after the winter holidays, all excellent cats some louder than others ( Hello Rebby and Oliver!).

HRH Beau looks like an angel


Adorable Chloe on a short stay before migrating interstate, she will need that coat!

Gorgeous Meggs is the most cuddly!

A little slide show of our own photos taken in a toy museum in Japan




Another windy day but the cats don’t seem to mind and frankly we like the cold weather too. Many outs: Hudson, Lulu and Titania have left us a bit sad. Fortunately we have a few new faces that make up for it.

Bubbles warm in bed early

Spooky a beautiful British Short Hair, not even considering going to bed

What do we do now? Spooky to Roscoe

Roscoe stays up late to look at the wildlife ( I'll have that one for dinner)


I think I might have dinner now, Fluffy

I'd better hurry up before Fluffy gets it, Marm


Gabbie still out when it was getting dark


I need a close up, Jessie and Peri waiting for dinner


Lovely Mishka saying Yummy!


Oliver inspecting what's for dinner, very naughty ( it didn't last long)


Perry making coffee


Sabre helping with the bookings

Shelly coming out for a cattery patrol


Simon’s cat or why cats should have their own bedrooms

July 7, 2010 by templetons 

Cats featured today:  Lulu, Mishka, Pumpkin, Rebby, Titania and Tonka

These two videos were posted in The Daily Tail, both hilarious. They illustrate why if you want to get a good night sleep it is essential to ban your puss from your bedroom at night.




A nice day turned into a gloomy one with drizzle first and rain later. We can’t complain because we need the rain, it’s always a gift in an arid country. Pusses behaving really well, just a bunch of great cats at the moment.

Lilly and Sasha are going back home tomorrow but Roscoe, Spooky and Bubbles arrived today, so it’s a consolation.

Ground Control to Major Lulu, can you hear me?


Mishka enjoying the morning sun, hello mum!


Pumpkin patrolling, look at those whiskers


Rebby: Meeowww (more cuddles please!)


Are you sure that I can't go out? Titania (Yes)


Tonka at the window, went home yesterday


The cat belt

July 1, 2010 by templetons 

Cats featured today Buffy, Clawdia and Smoochie, Gabbie, Hudson, Lulu, Oliver , Rebby , Sabre and Sylvester.

Everyone should have one



Gloomy day but less cool,  everybody going to bed early with the heat pads except for the die hards (usually the young ones). Monty and Dweezil went back home today, so only a few left wanting to be out until late.

Buffy was the only one willing to pose ( Pumpkin and Simba in bed)


Sisters, Smoochie and Clawdia


Gabbie more relaxed!


What shall I do next? Hudson


Lulu says hello to the family, eating well and getting lots of pats


Oliver goes to bed early


Rebby much happier, says hello mum!


Sabre having a snack, had visitors yesterday


Sylvester being the Aylesham cat
