⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

Three black and white cats in a riw in front of an Aga stove.
More feline friendliness today. L-to-r Sprout, Beans and Calvin warming up.
Finally for the introductions, this is Beans, the most recent addition to the household and the most majestically befurred. She is settling here really well and seems to have a bit of a soft spot for Calvin.
Civil service pay isn't fit for purpose. The process is bloated and the outcomes are poor.

Ada, a small tortoiseshell and white cat pausing for a moment in an exercise wheel
Introducing Ada! Ada was rescued late last year and rehomed to us once her kittens had all been adopted. She's only young herself and is a bundle of energy and attitude. When she's not running in her exercise wheel or taking running jumps up door frames she enjoys keeping the rest of us in check.

A white and black fluffy cat, Beans, and a black and white short haired cat, Calvin, are tolerating each other for the sake of sitting on the sofa.
Beans and Calvin slowly warming up to each other.
A slightly scraggly looking black and white long furred cat is curled up messily on a black cushion with her eyes firmly closed as though to shut the world out.

Ada is convinced she should be able to go all the way round.
A fluffy but tiny black and white cat by an Aga because heat is everything
Sprout isn’t a fan of the cold.
Three cats warming themselves by a stove. Ada is on the mantlepiece directly above it and looks almost melted. Calvin and Beans are in front of it, tolerating each other very nicely.
The peace brokering power of a real fire.
A tortie and white cat posing *exactly* like a ceramic cat ornament that she’s sat next to, on a mantlepiece.
Ada understanding the assignment.
A black and white cat and a tortie and white cat, on a dining table in a window, arranged in a row in a shaft of sunlight, with a fluffy white and black cat on the floor, also arranged in the shaft of sunlight. It’s autumn in the UK so they have to make the most of what sunshine there is.
The cats are making the most of a rare gap in the clouds. Spring feels a long way away.
