@AllotmentCat There aren't enough small animals to support a feral population of cats. Good job on the catch.

I hope nobody is upset by this photo.
I didn't intend to kill the mouse but maybe I was a bit too rough with him.
I've heard some humans say that allotment cats should not be given sachets of cat food, we should eat mice instead!
Betty and Colin and my other Aunties and Uncles do not agree with this, thank goodness.
I've never eaten a mouse in my life and I hope I never have to.
If you were a cat, what would you do?

@Amgen Your Amgen Safety Foundation is so disorganized. Your pharmacy does not communicate with your staff so they can find the script and arrange a pickup or delivery. I have 3 months of Otezla that I cannot use because I do not have the starter pack to ease me into this potentially

Roald Dahl on Measles: Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.
'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her.
'I feel all sleepy,' she said.
In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.
The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles.
...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children.

Before he feuded with the pope, he feuded with a cat. And lost.

I really hope that the history books remember to note that this President was so weak and so insecure that he blocked a cat on Twitter.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this. I have just learned of the passing of Stanley Batten. You may remember I asked people for financial help towards a last holiday then Birthday cards for his Birthday. I have been asked by the family to thank you again for your generosity and those of you that sent cards, thank you so much. I am sure you will join me in wishing sincere condolences to his family. RIP Stanley.
