    In the distant past I've had my open bag vomited into by one of the felines who also managed to drip it down the arm of the settee on the way south🙄🙃🐱

    I am yet again wondering just why I have a cat … ??! 🙄😂

    You don't. She has you.

    And you don't see her getting all upset that you keep digging up her garden now do you?! It was perfectly fine until you came along with your fancy ideas of prettiness and home grown food. Or maybe her "statement" today is proof of her telling you off??? 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

    A very productive day, and what a rare pleasure for a women's health practitioner to be actually helpful 😍

    Oh dear to Madam Chloe though. Is this the sofa you just paid loads of money on after the last incident 😂😭
