For 6 years @Hedgewatchers & @BagginsSuperCat have fought the campaign for #NoBangs to protect all animals & humans with PTSD.
Come on @andyburnham, having a dog yourself & now working for @Number10cat, you know it makes sense🚫 🎆 Keep the pretty light show, & ditch the bangs!

Yay it’s Global Cat today celebrating all cats. Feral cats, moggies, pure breeds & everypaw in between! Soon it’s the US National Cat Day too 29th Oct. Brock is celebrating making toys & blankies to donate for paws who need them especially with Crispmouse coming up.

It's a pair or rare, vibrant minerals with unusual chemistry as purple #Putnisite is up against blue #Julienite.

ALT Split photo of tiny grape-jello purple cubical crystals with a rough surface. The crystals are poking out of a massive rough rock with areas of fuzzy green and broad purple, all with a grainy coating of white as though it were rubbed with flour. The other photo is saturated cobalt blue needle-line crystals in a narrow fan sparkly and rough on a smooth creamy background

Both zinc ore #Sphalerite and calcium plagioclase feldspar #Anorthite will split cleanly if you hit them with a hammer, but only one can claim a larger split of your votes!

Did you slide in your prediction for the #MinCup26 winner?

You’d think 10 years in, we’d be smooth at this, but nah, been bug-squashing all round.

I wanted to show everyone my gorgeous whiskers and share some good news! I’ve been feeling much better lately, and I even gained a little weight! 🥰 I’ll be going back to the vet sometime next week for another blood test and exam.

Never forget, if you can, #adoptdontshop #adoptdontbuy. There are rescue centres everywhere who would love to welcome you to meet the cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, rabbits etc in their care who are looking for their furever homes.

Hi furiends! Mom saw this yesterday in Dulwich, London, in case someone was looking to adopt a kittie! 😻 Maybe @Hedgewatchers could share 🙏

Is there anyone who lives in or near Cardiff that can help Custard? Custard is FIV positive so will need an indoor only home and to be an only cat. #Hedgewatch

Please put some water out right now! It only takes a moment 🙏🏻 💦
As we enter yet another week of drought conditions please, I beg you, put out water for the animals.
Our nocturnal wildlife is dying of thirst.
A terrible, painful way to die.
And you hold the solution, the cure.
A turn of the tap will save a life.🚰
So get out your casserole pot lids, your flan dishes, your old baking trays - anything that is shallow and wide and not easily tipped.
It doesn't matter what it looks like, this is an emergency.
Put them out at dusk, front and back garden.
Your local charity shop will have loads of suitable water dishes - so with one simple act of kindness you can benefit so many.🥰
Keep them clean.
Keep them full.
Keep them coming.
Please share this to save a life today.

🦔 Update on Honey (the painted hedgehog).
We are very sorry to say that Honey died this afternoon. We don’t normally post on here about the losses within the rescue but many people have been asking about her and her story has been shared across the country. We are still working with the local police so can not share any more details about her.
To say that I’m devastated is an understatement and I just cannot believe, or understand, what some people are capable of doing to any living thing. I know from some comments that people have found what happened to her as funny or commented that she’s ’only a hedgehog’ but it does not matter if this was done to hedgehog or cat or a dog or any other animal, it just should not have happen FULL STOP. It is CRUEL and a completely UNNECESSARY death.
Prickly Pigs Hedgehog Rescue is just run from our home and, together with a fantastic group of volunteers, we are trying our hardest to help sick, injured or orphaned hedgehogs. It is an uphill battle that every wildlife rescue is the country is facing, hedgehogs are only on the Red List because of the problems that humans are causing. When are people going to stop and think about their actions and the impact they are having on nature?
Thank you to everyone that has made positive comments and are equally disgusted in what has happened. It’s times like this when I wonder what is the point of running the rescue. It’s a 24/7 job 365 days a year. On top of everything we are also currently fighting for the rescue to stay open as a couple of our neighbours are trying to get us shut down.
Apologies again for this ranting post but I just had to say it how it is sometimes.
Diane.
