Cici: "I'm having MORE babies?!" Image She. Is. Enormous.

Ultrasound tomorrow! I'll update when I know anything, of course.

I can't get over how beautiful she is. Real "Girl With A Purr-l Earring" look going on here Image

I really think everyone needs to see Stripes McKenzie right now

I know I always say it but this was the about-to-be-put-down, "extremely aggressive," "impossible to handle" foster mog.

He. Is. Ridiculous ❤️ Image Turned round from fussing him and Hedgehog the little stray born under a shed waddled over to Honeybun and Smol Paul like "can I nap with you"

And I guess they said yes 😭😭😭 Image

My water supplier, @stwater, has been sending messages telling people to use less water in the #UKHeatwave.

As a result, my neighbours have been worried about using water on days so hot, they're a national emergency.

Let me tell you some things about Severn Trent. 🧵 Here are Severn Trent's water leakage figures for the past few years. This is treated, clean drinking water that pours away every day because of leaks they have not fixed.

410 MILLION litres lost PER DAY.

NEVER leave mirrors (esp magnifying!), crystals, glass paperweights/ornaments, glasses etc near windows or in direct sunlight.

They will BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN without a second thought. Not only during this insane heat, but be extra careful while the sun is on the warpath Ask your local fire station, they'll have seen it many times. In one case the culprit was a crystal doorknob, another a Coke bottle. Curved glass = lens!

The amount of houses I see on my travels that have a magnifying mirror in the window 😩 I have genuinely considered knocking

In that case I would STRONGLY recommend one of these. I've got two, they're beautiful but also work really well and the mogs love them miaustore.com/uk?ref=345122 Full-size white one, mini blue one

Colin (@GulliverTruffle) is the only reason it's even bearable in my house for the mogs today, including poor pregnant Cici. He's gone without AC so we can have it.

He literally never tweets despite being very funny, maybe if you all follow him he'll say some words Also he accidentally booked us into the literal Gretna Green marriage hotel for our first ever holiday together, WITH HIS PARENTS, and I'm going to troll him about it for all time 🤣😅 Image

I'd like Cici to choose one of the nice beds I've set up for her to birth her kittens but considering her choice of nap location -- the actual bin -- I'm not hopeful 🤣 Image Like girl I know you were living under a shed last week but you have a home now! With nice things!

Cici: "bin"

Um did someone go on the shelter wishlist because I just got home and Image You've made some down-on-their luck kitties extremely happy with the boxes alone, never mind the contents!

Thank you all SO MUCH ♥️ you will now have good cat karma forever, which mostly means seeing cute ones on holiday and in the street who'll let you pet them
