It's Caturday
Introduction This is nothing more than an excuse to share more pictures of the cats that I meet on my walks. Some days I see no cats, some days I see lots. Today there were lots including one in my garden. I saw the word Caturday trending on some social media platform or other so thought it would be another excuse to share some of the pictures that I captured.

You're Nobody Until You've Been Ignored By A Cat
Introduction I am currently reading the excellent "The Pie At Night" by Stuart Maconie and he mentions that he has a homemade fridge magnet that he bought from a craft fair somewhere in Lakeland that has a wooden cat with googly eyes that states "You're Nobody Until You've Been Ignored By A Cat" and that is something that happens to me very often, so it would imply that I am not Nobody.

What Is It With Cats?
Introduction I haven't written anything feline-based for three months, but almost every day that I am out I encounter some cats and sometimes get photographs of them and sometimes they ignore me and just will not pose, lying in the bottom of windows in a furry mass, or just running away.

Conversations With Cats In 'Nam (and a Dog)
Introduction This story is for the Vocal "Tall Tail" Challenge which you can read about below. After a chat with Heather Hubler who loves the cat videos of my meets with #CatsInNam (that's the Instagram and Twitter hashtag) I jokingly said I should record some of my encounters for the Vocal Challenge because, let's face it, animals do talk to us. Some have told me their names, to me to go away, and demanded food and attention.

To Catch A Cat
Introduction This is not actually about catching cats, well only in the sense of catching them as pictures or on video. Recently I have not seen many due to the inclement weather around Fenham as well as a trip to Edinburgh, and next week I shall be traipsing up to Alnwick by train and a lift from my friend Julie.

Walking In A Feline Flurry
Introduction People have remarked that I go out to take pictures of cats, but actually, that is just a residual extra to my walking. On my Google Pixel 4XL, I have the Google Fit application that is available from the Google Play Store, and set myself a target of seven thousand steps a day which is about three miles. I used to do eleven thousand steps a day but that meant that I had to go out both before and after work, and now that I work from home that became not impossible but just a chore.
