A Cat’s Tale – Part Six
The story so far: Binky is living happily with two big hoomins and two sticky-fingered little hoomins. But there are two more additions to the household on the way… So, there I was one day, dozing on the back of my armchair, keeping an eye on the world through the window, when I see my…

Feline Book Review: Binky the Space Cat
My hoomins often seem to be almost as interested in ‘books’ as me, which I have never really understood until now. In fact, I have only just worked out what a book is, now that one of my hoomins has bought Binky the Space Cat for me. A lady hoomin called Ashley Spires has evidently…

“Running to the swings, running away from Satan…”
I don’t really understand why, but one of my hoomins (who I don’t see much of lately) is doing a lot of running. Perhaps she’s running away from a big rotten dog. Anyway, she seems to want other hoomins to pay her to do this running – maybe she’s a bit too loud for those…

A cat who is almost as handsome and talented as me
Despite having me to stroke and lavish attention on, my hoomins are strangely interested in the noisy light-box in the corner of one of my rooms. I do not particularly like this distracing them, so I would like to emphasise that I am not the cat who is editing the new ‘Footloose’ film. He is…
