Happy VE Day 2020 - The 75th Anniversary

Happy VE Day 2020!

What is VE day?

From the BBC:Victory in Europe (VE) Day on 8 May 1945 saw Britain and its Allies formally accept Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender after almost six years of war.
At 15:00, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end, following Germany's surrender the day before.
Spontaneous celebrations broke out across the country and the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, and her sister Princess Margaret, ventured out with a group of friends to experience the excitement in London.

Of course, with social distancing still in place here in the UK, people will hopefully be celebrating safely from home.

We will be watching it all on telly!

We've included this lovely cover of  Dame Vera Lynn's wartime classic We'll Meet Again by The D-Day Darlings, featuring Shirlie Kemp.

Caturday Art on Lockdown

Happy Caturday!

We are still on lockdown in the UK. We hope you are all keeping safe wherever you are on this beautiful planet. Mother Gaia is taking a bit of a rest at present. She is resetting herself - for ALL of us and the future of the planet.

Let's all keep calm and take lots of naps until this is over.

We do understand that there are those of you that have to work, those who are key workers, so our thoughts, love, and gratitude go out to you 💚👏

Purrs and love to everyone. Stay safe and well xx

Caturday Art Blog Hop

Stay home. Stay safe. Save lives.

And create!

Caturday Art is a chance for all pets and their humans to get creative with their photos. Of course, if you are an artist you are free to share your animal art as well. We'd love to see it! But the focus of Caturday Art Blog Hop is to get artsy with your pet photos by adding filters (there are many free photo editors and apps available, as we're sure you all know.)

Mum isn't good at drawing or painting, but she is very creative and loves photography, so it's good to see her creating art of me!

Have fun, and remember to look after yourself and others!

Best Way to Spend Lockdown #FelineFriday

Happy Feline Friday!

We hope you are well.

As you can see from my photo, I'm demonstrating the purrfect way to reduce stress during lockdown. I've got my mum well-trained to take afternoon naps because she gets very stressy by midday. Actually, she's not that great during the first half of the day at all. 

I'll tell you something though, the lockdown hasn't really changed our daily life because, well, this is our daily life! I'm an indoor kitty and I have an indoor mum!

I'm lucky that Mum works from home and is always there to be my slave 😻

Don't forget Caturday Art Blog Hop tomorrow! That's another great way to spend lockdown. Get creative with your pet photos 😻

Carrot Day/Rat Day #caturdayart

Happy Caturday!

We hope you are keeping well.


Today is International Carrot Day and also World Rat Day.

Here is my Caturday Art for today. No, there is no carrot or rat in sight. Just a lovely watercolour effect Mum created with the help of BeFunky.

However, here are two flashback videos of me playing with Mr. Catnip Mousie and getting high on carrots! I know, you are probably thinking it should be the other way round! 😸

My Puzzle

Here's a puzzle for you too.

Get creative with your photos!

We're all on lockdown so let's use this time to create!

Photography is great as a creative outlet (especially for people like my mum who can't paint or draw but enjoys art and likes to play with photo apps).

Hey, you can do it too! There are many fab art and photo apps available online and many are free.

Once you're done, we'd love to see them here so please add them to our linky below and share every Caturday. We welcome all pet/animal art, not just that of cats.

Have fun and stay home, stay safe, save lives!
