Excuse me! It’s Ron here! I think if I reach out far enough, I could just about reach you for a high five. What do you think? 🐾 💖

Friends! I missed Throwback Thursday yesterday, but I was reminded by a kind friend of this great Cat Pumpkin we carved a couple of years ago, and I really wanted to share it again for those of you who are carving pumpkins today 🎃 Enjoy!
Friends! It’s #Halloween and I asked Mum to carve a Cat Pumpkin this year. Here, you can see how we did it. Two things are important: you start cutting from the bottom of the pumpkin, not the top! And when you cut out the eyes, make them complete triangles that can be used as ears. 🎃
We’d LOVE to see photos of your carved pumpkins, whatever you decide to do!
And remember not to leave your pumpkins outside after Halloween because they can spread disease, make wildlife sick, and attract pests. Thank you 🎃 Happy Halloween to all our gorgeous friends! 🎃

Friends! Baby Dog is feeling a bit fed up because of having to wear his Bodysuit. As usual, he seeks me out for comfort, so I’m letting him use me as a pillow - it’s the least I can do ❤️
By the way, Mum and I have prepared a special Blog with Advice and Fun for Halloween. We’ll be publishing the link this morning so do look out for it 🎃

Today we celebrate the 362nd birthday of the @RoyalMarines.
The Corps has a long and proud history stretching back to 1664.
From Trafalgar, the beaches of Normandy, the Falklands and Afghanistan, we have always answered the nation’s call.
To every Royal Marine, thank you.

Friends! It’s all going on for us at the moment! Baby Dog had a little benign cyst on his back, which he has managed to scratch off! He needs to wear his body suit for a few days whilst it heals. He took this is his usual ‘calm’ way and decided the answer to feeling better was a game of Hide & Seek with Ron.

Friends! I’ve only been on my new medicine for a few days but Mum thinks she is already seeing some small changes. I have a bit more energy, seem more alert, and I am sleeping a little less. But do you know what hasn’t changed? Baby Dog’s dedication to me. He’s been right by my side, watching over me, all the time. I love him ❤️

Excuse me! It’s Ron here. Baby Dog asked me (as his Deputy) to keep an eye on Malcy whilst he had a nap, because Malcy is on new medicine. So I did just that. Trouble is, I think Malcy was a bit confused about why I was keeping an eye on him? (Music sung by the children in Mum’s musical theatre class) ❤️

Friends! Mum can’t believe it… I’m scoffing the renal wet food! Nobody thought that would happen as it is notoriously untasty. Mum is so proud of me. I am sharing a picture of the packet in case anyone wants recommendations. It is also the Purina dry food that I like ❤️❤️

Friends! Percy isn’t the only one who can be skittish! It seems the Storms have also affected Ron, who seemed to be enjoying himself until he accidentally knocked something off Mum’s desk. Then he knew he was in trouble and scarpered! 😹

ALT Lily is a very characterful tabby cat, sat proudly on a stripy stair case with their head slightly tilted to the side.
