Not So Cloaked

Doug (Somerset, UK) is, in theory, a very camouflaged cat, especially at night. Unfortunately his humans think this may have made him somewhat complacent, and his recent hiding places have not been very thought through. Hiding under a cushion is not quite enough to disappear.

Mind Slip

Doug (Somerset, UK) either really likes the smell of the slippers, or he thinks he can fit himself in there. Either way, he is doing all he can to push his head into them.

Reassurance Needed

Doug (Somerset, UK) came skittering into the bedroom recently, just to announce something to his human. His human's best guess is that the birds were making fun of him, so they reassured him that he is definitely a big scary hunter.

A Day Of Choices

Two balls were placed in front of Doug (Somerset, UK) to see which he would pick. It was not an instant decision, but the humans now know he prefers the yellow bouncy ball over the green wicker ball (today at least).

Summer Shows

Summer is here and the birds and busy and twittering in the trees. Doug (Somerset, UK) is fully entranced with the show.

Temperature Test

Doug (Somerset, UK) is a very helpful cat, and has kindly tested the temperature of his human’s tea. It is now much fluffier tea than it was before, and therefore much improved.
