Old cats are cold cats!

With winter upon us, my little tooter, Honey, is really starting to feel the cold.  It doesn't help that her belly is still quite bald from where she over grooms.

This is a really important time of year not just to keep yourself cosy but also to keep your pussy cats cosy. If your cats are outdoor cats please, please make sure they have a reflective collar, preferably with your number on it and if they go awol, please check in surrounding sheds etc as they will try and find a warm (or less draughty) spot. 

As Honey is now about 14 years old and very little (3.2kgs) it's important that we give her a little help to keep warm (I think it is anyway!) 

So I bought her a hoody... I know, I'm mental! I got this off of amazon but I actually think it is too small for her but at least I know she wasn't totally against wearing it! This is really for dogs more than cats but the selection for cats is minimal.  

I also had a therapeutic heat pad lying around from when I used to get a lot of backache and so this is like her own electric blanket that I put on for a while at night, they have these in Argos for £29.99 which actually sounds like quite a lot but you can get them from eBay and amazon ( you can get waterproof ones!)  I use the scarves that I got from poundland for my Cheshire Cat outfit a few weeks ago.  

As for the boys, they are in the livingroom next to the radiator, or on the sofa, or on our bed... They can sleep anywhere and if they are feeling the cold they often snuggle up together - so cute! 

I'll sleep on the sofa then...

Hugs,

A Parliament of Owls

It's no secret that I like a good Owl, from Hedwig in Harry Potter to the Great Grey Owl in Camperdown Park in Dundee!

My Boyfriend recently bought me a few owly items, which I thought I would share with you.

Ipad case, here, Ribbon, here, and Bracelet, similar here. 

The bracelet is cute and definitely a bit kitsch.  It has the floral enamel owl as the main attraction on a gold tone bracelet chain.  It has gold tone hearts, pearls and blue beads. It also comes in a nice wee pouch as well which makes it great to give as a gift.

Owl ribbon, no sure what I'm going to use this for but it is awfully cute.  It's not flimsy ribbon either so would be good for craft projects.

The iPad case is more pink than it appears in these pictures.  The print is very cute and the white edging and background make it a bit more funky.  I love the little owl on the back.  This cost £27.40 which I'm not particularly happy about, There were cute ones on eBay for £10 which would have done the job - I'm so ungrateful, I know.

The back of the packaging shows the different ways in which you can use the case as a stand.  Personally, I find the stand to be a bit disappointing and have left a review on Amazon saying as such.  I would expect it to be a lot sturdier for the price.

The case itself is very slim and you can see from the above picture how the stand is supposed to work, unfortunately it seems to collapse in on itself when you try to stand it up like this.

And not pictured above is this, rather sinister looking, earphone jack.

Designed to keep the dust out of the earphone jack, I find this a wee bit big and I annoyed my colleagues greatly by pulling it out and pushing it in repeatedly, similar to clicking a pen I suppose.

The back of the owl looks possibly even more sinister since it is full of holes! The holes are actually hearts!

He bought these presents alongside the GHD's I wrote about here, with his first wage from his new job, it is not a common occurrence for me to get random gifts!

Do you have a favourite animal?

What case do you have for your phone/laptop/iPad?

Hugs,

Jodi
