Mother's Day Selfie #catmum

Happy Mother's Day UK!

Here's a Sunday Selfie with my dear Mum. We are taking care of each other as well as looking after my Granny.

Here's a video of us before taking a nap yesterday...

💚💚💚

We are worried about how animal shelters are coping, especially the small local ones.

If you are able to, please consider donating to your local animal shelter. They need help too to survive in this strange time we are living in. We understand that some charities are suspending pet adoptions for the time being, or visits to their sites are by appointment only. Some are asking for fosterers or maybe you can sponsor an animal that is currently at a shelter.


With countries on lockdown, it's also very worrying for the street cats who rely on locals and tourists to feed them. Like these precious little ones in Athens, Greece. If anyone is local to the area, maybe you can help?

Sunday Selfie: Happy Cat Month😺

Happy Sunday!

We've just heard that September is Happy Cat Month so here is my very happy and contented selfie. When I expose my belly like this Mum knows it's an invitation for her to start giving me some tummy rubbing. And let me tell you I just love it!

I even let her kiss my tummy 😼

Of course, not every cat will enjoy exposing their tummy in this way. Especially at the beginning of a relationship. It's based on trust. For me, it was easy as I knew my mum was meant to be my mum from the very first day she walked into the cat shelter where I was waiting for my forever home. I trusted her completely from the very start. And on the first day when she adopted me and brought me home, I fell asleep contented on her lap (after I filled my hungry belly with yummy food!). 

Mum was a bit nervous trying to give me the belly rub at first because she knows some cats don't like it. But soon enough, she realised I wanted the rubs and the kisses too!

Do you let your human rub your belly?

Before I go, do you remember Mr Catnip Mousie?

Well, I hadn't been playing with him for a while but Mum recently found him and started throwing him across the room one night when I was having my mad half hour before bedtime. I realised that I'd really missed the old man and so I grabbed him by my teeth and flung and bashed him around the room for a while and then I paw-batted him for a bit. 

Look at him now.

Sunday Selfie on Mum's Lap

HAPPY SUNDAY!

It's been freezing cold here (though no sign of snow) so I've been snuggling up on Mum's lap a lot.

 Here I am sharing the love with her and keeping warm.

Happy Sunday!

Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes yesterday, they really made our day. You are all such great and pawsome friends! We love you all :)

We know that most of you will be celebrating Mother's Day today, but we won't be doing so because we've already had ours in the UK. where we shared this lovely video entitled A Mother's Love

Here it is again.

 For Sunday Selfie today we have two photos to share with you all. 

First this wide-eyed one taken on Mum's lap. The colour wasn't so good so Mum brightened it up using a chromatic effect. Doesn't the throw on the sofa match my green eyes purrfectly?

And here's a black and white selfie with Mum taken in the early morning so Mum has no make up and is still in her dressing gown. I on the other hand always look good no matter what! All I need is a wash and I'm ready to go because I was born with my make-up :)

Melt Your Heart Monday

Happy Monday!

We hope your Monday is stress free but even if you have a lot of stress in your life, or suffer from depression like my mum, I'm sure your pet helps you enormously. We don't need any scientific facts to prove what animal lovers have known all along, do we?

Animals, especially those you choose to share your home with, are great relievers of stress and can help people with mental health issues like depression and anxiety cope better.

Here is a short clip of me helping Mum with her stress and anxiety issues the other day. 

Watch on YouTube if you can't view it here.

 

 How do your companion animals help improve your health?

Melt Your Heart Monday

Happy Monday!

Hope you had a lovely Valentine's Weekend. We are still in a loving mood and simply cannot stop sharing the love so here we have the most amazing video we found on YouTube! It's of a beautiful mum cat talking to and taking care of her gorgeous adorable kittens. Yes, we know that at 19 minutes it's a bit long but really, we are sure you can take a few minutes out of your day to de-stress a little. It'll do you good, human! 

I have to admit, I'm not liking my Mum's fascination with this video. She should be busy making and editing more videos of me for my own channel. Have you subscribed yet? Go on, it only takes a moment!

Have a great day everyone!

It's all about mother and baby love today. Just look at these cute mums and their kittens. Adorable!

10 Ways a Cat and Her Human Mum Show Their Love For One Another

We know everyone is feeling the love this Valentine Week, but it's important to note (as we know many of you animal lovers do), that Valentine's Day is not only about romantic love. Why should it be? As a wise kitty goddess I am here to tell you that love, and certainly 'purrfect' love can be found with your adorable and adoring pets. So let us celebrate this beautiful love!

A kiss from Mum #cats catlove #catmum #catlady #tabbycat #tabbiesofinstagram #instapet #instacat #catsofinstagram

As you can see, Mum and I are totally in love with each other. Here are some of the ways we show our love for one another.

1 Cuddles
We love to cuddle. Mum is always cuddling me. And because I love her I let her hug me tight. If I'm not in the mood I soon let her know though! Cuddles and Snuggles under the duvet on a cold day (and night) are just the best.

Goodnight #cats #tabbycat

2 Purrs I purr all the time to show Mum how much she means to me and how happy she makes me. I also purr to calm her when she's stressed. This calms me too.

3 Eye gaze/slow blink We gaze at each other. A lot. And then I slow blink at her. Mum has learned to do this too back to me.

Goodnight! #cats #tabbycats #cutecat

4 We listen to each other I let Mum talk to me when she needs to. Sometimes she needs to complain and she has a lot on her mind. She feels misunderstood a lot of the time by humans so she finds me far more understanding.

5 Take care of each other We always look out for each other and there is never a moment when we are not thinking of each other.

6 Play together We have lots of fun playing games, as you can see from this video below, and this one

7 Sleep together We share a big bed and I love to snuggle up against her at night, especially when it's very cold. Sometimes I crawl under the duvet for a nice cuddle.

8 Heal each other My purrs heal my mum, but she also gives me Reiki healing which is great for me too.

10 I like to lick my mum's hand and arm, as you can see from this video.
