Well I am in two minds about writing this blog post. I know that some might say when in doubt, don't. However, against my better judgement I have decided to write today all about ... all about what? A cat.
So Circe is the first cat I have lived with. She has this wicked personality that manages to get what she wants despite being a tenth of a human's size and unable to speak (yes, I did just write that!) Quite a strength of character I'd say!
I like the way at any time of day she will try to persuade you that she needs feeding, whether she has just been fed or not. If she is hungry she will scratch at the door post until you wake up and attend to her and she frequently treads over my keyboard when I am online if she wants some TLC. Thought this was a classic moment (see image), when she decided that Benedict clearly wasn't giving her enough attention and sat right in the middle of his laptop. What a clever little creature.
She never leaves the flat, has no other feline friends and happily hops from bed to bed in our flat. In human terms this wouldn't be a recipe for happiness - but in the world of Circe it clearly does the trick and we love her loads for it!

Meow! I love it how cats know the precise location to maximise attention: laptop or newspaper tends to do it.
I miss the lunacy of owning a cat; and the sound of purring. But I also am I glad I don't have to clear up fur balls or pay vet bills. Swings and round-abouts I guess.
She sounds cool..my type of cat!!
Yes! I have a cat exactly the same! 4am and he's scratching at my bedroom door to be fed (regardless of the fact he's not hungry).
Not a silly post at all - cats are the new friends.
:0)
Andy - I think before too long you and Yvette will start to get some kittens ... I hope so :)
Fiona - almost as cool as Sosi, need to get a fb page sorted!
Becs - thanks for the reassurance, good to know the world is changing!
