@Malcolm_theCat Malcy darling, Mum made a beautiful pot at her art class! So glad she spent some time creating something lovely. 🎨 She thought of you first, of course. 😻 Love the colors, too. This photo shows just how handsome you are, dear one. Much love to all ❤️❤️😻

Friends! Mum went to an art class and they said she could make anything out of a lump of clay, so she made this little pot that looks like me! I feel quite flattered! What do you think? (Mum says she’s a novice at this sort of thing so don’t judge too harshly! 😹)

@DottySeaCat Oh dear! Thank you so much for explaining the problems with the Box Bush Caterpillar. You are so careful to help your Mum by continuing to make sure that the leaves are safe. Excellent Hedgewatching! ❤️❤️

@John_Dabell John, you and Hetty have the loveliest places to play in! You’re so gifted in matching words with thoughts and emotions and so eloquent about growth through experience, John. Thank you for all you share. It means so much. Sending you prayers and many good wishes. ✨💫🌟Sisu.

@John_Dabell Oh, John, I hope and pray you will. So sorry you still don’t have the test results. I hope so much that we’ll hear about that cup of tea! ✨💫🌟

@Malcolm_theCat Malcy dear, your training of Percy looks like it’s working. Yes, you did the right thing by offering your place to Ron. What about Baby Dog? He quietly sat outside the tent! Has he tried the Tunnel yet? Malcy, you are so loving & patient. Everyone looks up to you, dear one. ❤️❤️

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! Now that the Birthday Excitement has died down a bit, I have returned to my training of Percy. I’ve been teaching him how to use the Tent correctly. He does like to watch me and follow my lead. I noticed Ron feeling a bit left out though, so I did the right thing …

@AllotmentCat Oh, dear Maurine! So glad to see you. Happy that you let Auntie Rachel take photos of you & give you TREATS! She takes beautiful photos so I do hope that some will be in the 2027 calendar. Love this photo of you. Things are changing, slowly but surely, for you, dear boy! ❤️❤️😻

@Malcolm_theCat Darling Malcy, what a lovely photo of you in the Garden! The flowers are beautiful! 🌼🌸You look so relaxed & content. I’m so sorry the miserable heat has returned. Stay hydrated & as cool as you can be inside. 🆒🚰 I love you, Malcy. And much love to your Family. ❤️❤️

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! It’s very hot here again. I sit out in the morning when it’s cool enough, and where I have some shade from the cherry tree, and then I go inside. Hope you are all managing to stay cool where you are 🩷🩷🩷

@John_Dabell Beautiful photo of you and Hetty, John. What beauty surrounds you! My gratitude for your reminder about what may be found beneath what “life covers” and “stitched into the seams of our souls.” Sending you prayers and many good wishes. ✨💫🌟Sisu.
