Friends! It’s time to say goodbye to Cousin Teddy. He has now gone home, but here’s a snapshot of what we did before he left. After a rocky start with the Triplets, we all had a lovely time together. Hopefully we’ll see him again soon ❤️

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Chums! Baby Dog here. I thought I should teach Cousin Teddy a few things whilst here, so I showed him my Post-Shower-Routine. He took notes and attempted to copy. I was quite impressed.
A massive thank you from Mum for your continued Get Well Wishes. You are all so very kind. She says she has ‘turned a corner’ and is on the mend ❤️

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! Having Teddy staying with us has illustrated how possible it is to train dogs not to chase cats! Teddy has come a long way from his first night here, when our house was like an episode of Tom & Jerry. Everyone has pitched in to help. Well done to the whole Team! We worked it out together! ❤️ #Caturday

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! Some mysterious gold stuff appeared yesterday for the Little One’s birthday. I didn’t want to walk through it and the Triplets were also very suspicious…
Mum is still quite poorly, sadly. Thank you for still talking to us, even though we can’t reply much at the moment. The L.O. read all the messages out and they made us happy. Please keep talking and sharing ❤️

Apparently, I now have my own QR code!

Point your phone at it & it takes you to MY BOOK.

No idea how. No mice inside. Disappointing. 🙄

Could you give it a little share & help more people discover me?

The FC calls it word of mouth.

I prefer word of MEOWTH. 😹🧡🐾

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! It’s all happening in our house. Mum is still poorly but it’s the Little One’s birthday today 🎉 so things have to carry on! As it’s #ThrowbackThursday we are going to remind you of some of the fun we’ve had with our Train Sets. Here, a young Percy sees a Train for the first time! Thank you for all the lovely get well messages for Mum - they are cheering her up a lot! ❤️

@autcareandshare O thats so lovely , Happy Birthday , have a fab day 🎊🎂🎉

Please be vigilant. Help them out as quickly as possible as if they get exhausted and perish that is a potential colony that will not get to exist next year.
Time trapped is time not foraging and energy wasted!

So now you know what these big autumn-flying #bumblebees are!

…having greater reserves of fat and glycogen are more likely to survive than their lighter counterparts.
Before hibernation these queens forage intently to build up fat and glycogen reserves and this is why it is so important to have plenty of late season flowering…

[The Bee Guy @the_beeguy]

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while.

Why?

Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #retweet as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year.
Deal?

Chums! Baby Dog here. It’s nice having a Walking Companion whilst Cousin Teddy stays with us. Look at how in sync we are!! Cousin Teddy doesn’t understand the power of goodness that our social media can spread so let’s show him lots of love ❤️

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! BIG NEWS! We have had Cousin Teddy staying with us for a while, because our Auntie is away. It’s taken a lot of effort to get Teddy and the Triplets to be comfortable with each other, so we didn’t tell you because we didn’t want you all worrying. There was distrust on all sides, as you can see from this compilation video, but we are at a point now where everyone is happy ❤️

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! Baby Dog is so attached to his Favourite Spot at the top of the Armchair. What on earth is he supposed to do when he finds Ron in his place? Give up? I think not! #Caturday

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! Sometimes (actually quite a lot) our house is just a Pet Playground and crazy scenes happen a lot. You only see the ones Mum manages to capture on video but this sort of Shenanigans is a daily occurrence. I used to try and stop it… now I mostly let the Triplets get on with things! Baby Dog wouldn’t let this one go though…! 😹

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Chums! Baby Dog here. It’s #ThrowbackThursday so I wanted to remind you of the very early days we had with the Triplets. Here, I was trying to teach them how to play Peek-a-Boo with the cushions, but then I got worried when Percy figured out how to jump off the sofa. Happy days!

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! I sat watching Baby Dog and Cleo doing some sort of Dance Routine together and was overcome with love for our Daft Dog who is so sweet that he is adored by all of us Cats ❤️ (If you can identify the type of dance they are doing, please let me know. Samba? Tango? Cha-Cha-Cha? I need to watch more #Strictly I think!) 🪩

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! Percy is such a Love Bug. He adores Morning and Bedtime snuggles on Mum’s lap, and if Baby Dog happens to be there first, he snuggles him too. It’s cute to watch! ❤️

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Excuse me! It’s Ron here. I’ve told you before that the World looks better Upside Down, haven’t I? Well, I’ve discovered that I can play my favourite game Upside Down too. It makes it even more fun! I know you’ll be impressed! 🧡

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! If I told you that Percy is a FIDGET you might imagine he fidgets around a bit before settling down. But no! When I say ‘fidget’, I mean FIDGET!!! Don’t believe me? Watch this to the end! (Sound up) ❤️

[Malcolm & Baby Dog @Malcolm_theCat]

Friends! Baby Dog has been complaining that we have a #Caturday but no Dogday, so he’s decided to celebrate Caturday anyway, as if it applies to him. I did mention that he’d have been better off wearing Cat Ears, but he’s not listening ❤️
