Some highlights from The Cat Show Live 2025, Birmingham NEC (including which ones I stroked!) 🧵 Breed Showcase: Persian (stroked) - look at that face! Video: Exotic Breed kitten.

This is Walker Smith. After dedicating 17 years to Waitrose, he was recently dismissed. The reason? For attempting to stop a shoplifter nicking Easter eggs. Yes you read that right. He should be applauded, not sacked. Shameful @waitrose. Re-employ Walker Smith!

@Malcolm_theCat You've really splashed out on the decorations, how lovely! BD takes food waste very seriously, gulping his own down in one breath then making sure nobody left a crumb, whether they thought they'd finished or not. Happy Easter everyone!

Friends! It’s #EasterSunday and so we are having a Special Easter Breakfast before all the Family arrive (don’t worry, these aren’t real tulips - they are pet-friendly ones!) We send you all lots of love for a happy, peaceful and joyous Easter 💐🐣💐🐥 #cats #dogs

@Malcolm_theCat What a sweet photo of you 2! 😚😚

Chums! Baby Dog here. As promised, here’s a pic of me with my adorable little brother Albie. Easter Time is about spending time with Friends and Family - and I’m doing just that! #DogsatEaster

Every year we hunt Easter Eggs! It's my absawoofly favorite holiday activity! This year Bernoulli and Beaker from @bunsenbernerbmd came out to try. Bernoulli did great but it was Beaker's time to shine. That girl is a natural and was hunting eggs like she'd done this all her life! My little brother Kenji did very well considering he's just a baby. It was windy and between blowing leaves and the scary flapping plastic bag, it was a lot for his brain. Thankfully he didn't start barking in his young Justin Bieber voice and embarrass me. My pals @cloe_the_bear and @DetectiveDugDog came out again this year. The 3 of us are pro level egg hunters. We could do this every single day and never get bored. Our only complaint was that we only got to find a dozen eggs each. We want more next year. A big bonus was the cold wind would have made wearing silly rabbit ears impossible. They'd have blown across the parking lot so we didn't have to do the boring stuff and could focus on treats. Best Easter Ever!!! 🎥 Highlights of our egg hunt #EasterEggHunt #Nosework #DogLife

Wait for the puppy.. 😅

This is Sprout. He just turned 21, so of course, his doggy retirement home threw him the party of the year. After getting his new ID, Sprout got his first legal pup cup, then he and his friends celebrated with cake, presents, and even a Sprout-themed calendar. 13/10 happy birthday buddy #SeniorPupSaturday

@Malcolm_theCat Albie certainly is a little cutie, just like his big brother. I hope Albie and his family (with Uncle Jack) have a lovely Easter. 😚

Chums! Baby Dog here. Guess who I saw this morning? My little brother Albie! Isn’t he lovely? And don’t you think he resembles me? I’ll share a photo of us together later 🤎🤎 #dogs

@suzdavies13 @muir373 @Malcolm_theCat Aww, what a lovely tribute! 🥲

@muir373 @Malcolm_theCat She most definitely is, she made this for M&D when they lost Milo, it hangs in pride of place 💙

@muir373 @Malcolm_theCat They're lovely aren't they? I got the Christmas Robins and the Blue Tits. At some point I may have to get the Greenfinches to keep them company. 😉

@Malcolm_theCat Hi BD, you’re having a v social Easter. How lovely. I hope you had a wonderful time together. He does look like u. U’re both gorgeous. Talking of gorgeous, I received my order from special-gifts.net. I love it! ❤️❤️❤️

@witchypoo962 @Malcolm_theCat That was quite a spectacular foot! 😲🥰

@ValWipTweets @Malcolm_theCat Beautiful video Val, I love hares. They're so cute showing their floofy feet to the camera for us humans to see 🐇😊

Chums! GUESS WHAT? I spent Good Friday with my beloved Trixie in Farringdon, Oxfordshire. Oh my! We had such FUN and found so many Interesting Things. I’ve included some of them in this video for you to spot. I had THE BEST TIME! 💐🐣🩷 #dogs

@LumpyandFriends Come on, you horrible thieves, send the stuff back or pay up! (Preferably with a nice donation on top as an apology.) 🤬

Recently Mr Lumpy & Friends little business has taken a blow which we can’t afford. Four customers who inadvertently were sent the wrong goods which we rectified by sending the correct ones with a pre paid returns label have not returned the original wrong goods sent! We are a very small business trying to compete in a tough climate and knocks like this we cannot afford. If you are one of these people please do the right thing and send them back. Thank you 🙏

@akanezumi1984 @UistSeaEagles No. In Britain, at least, White Tailed Eagles are sometimes called White Tailed Sea Eagles or just Sea Eagles. Sea Eagle is not really correct because, although they live by water, it's not always the sea.

@ValWipTweets @UistSeaEagles Not same bird. Different species.

This is what incubation actually looks like — not sunsets and calm mornings. Exposed on a nest with no shelter, holding position against weather that would send most of us indoors within minutes. White-tailed eagles don’t get to choose their weather. They sit through it all.

@LizCorps @Malcolm_theCat Yes, I love Andy Goldsworthy.

@Malcolm_theCat What a great walk! I suspect Baby Dog likes to spend time with another dog, and Trixie is the best!. Such amazing carvings, loved the stick "window" - like an Andy Goldsworthy, my favourite artist in nature.

Top of the stairs skulduggery!
