Myself & Kitties
After his twin bro Spider died on 2nd September 2017, I now also had to put Lugosi to sleep on Saturday morning at 10:45am on 9th March 2019. Apparently he…
Sorry, I have not been posting any real content recently, but this will change in the New Year. I will post something at least once or twice a month –…
Wishing all my fellow cat lovers an amazing Christmas and a fantastic New Year!
HERE IT IS! My “Street Cats of Lanzarote 2019” Calendar! Enjoy each month with a gorgeous photo of one (or more) of the amazing feral cats on our island. Get…
I think I need to form a kitty boy band with Jupiter… 🙂 View this post on Instagram …
Taken under protest, as you can see! 😉
I adopted Jupiter from our local animal shelter SARA on Wednesday 27th June 2018, and he has settled in well. So far, so good! He is extremely affectionate with me,…
I’m so excited! I will be adopting this gorgeous 3 year old tabby boy from SARA today! His name is Perico, but he will be renamed Jupiter. I hope Ruby…
Lugosi never liked having his clawsies trimmed. See it and believe it. 😆 Did you watch the previous video of Ruby getting her claws trimmed? Well, here’s Lugosi, who…
My little girl is 9 today!!!! Come and take part in our birthday celebrations… HAPPY PURRTHDAY, my little girl! Ruby is 9 today! ????? #cats #ruby #tabbies #tabbycats #birthday #catbirthday…
She loves that series! Eventually she does fall asleep though – it’s what cats do best, after all. Time for Ruby’s favourite series again, Doctor Who. ??? #cats #ruby…
Almost 19 years old (Lugosi, that is, not me!) and still going strong! I love my old boy to bits…
Can’t say I didn’t try… 😉
Ok, they’re not exactly Lego, but very similar. A company called JEKCA holds the patent for their own “building blocks for kidults”, and you can buy sets of just about anything…
Here’s the “behind the scenes” video of this year’s St Catrick’s Day photo session! Poor Ruby didn’t do too well after all those treats though – she almost barfed on…
My kitties are not only loved to bits one day a year, but today is Valentine’s Day, so I thought I’d officially shout it out to the world how much…
Star Trek: Enterprise is apparently too boring for my girl… Watching Star Trek: Enterprise with my girl Ruby, but she’s too tired to stay awake… ?????? #cats #paws #catsandwomen #girlswithcats…
I got a donation of cat food from a friend whose cat is too spoilt and didn’t eat it. When I tried said food on my cats, they didn’t like…
I had the pleasure of meeting the super talented singer/songwriter/model Oriana Curls, who came to visit Lanzarote earlier this week, and spending two fun-filled days with her. As you can…
I recently bought some cat stuff from a company that I met on Instagram called “Always Whiskered“. This is just a short review about my experience with them. Ordering from…
Wishing all our fans and followers a fabulous 2018!!! We hope this year will be better for us after losing our beloved friend, companion, “husband”, brother and soulmate Spider on…
All the best for the new year too, from Barbarella, Ruby, Lugosi and Spirit Cat Spider (yes, he’s still around, haunting us – see him just above my head on…
It’s almost 12 weeks since my Spider died (on 2nd September), and I’m only just coming to terms properly with him not being around anymore. I still cry every other…
If you are owned by a cat or three, and as a responsible cat parent, you will know how important it is to have a good cat litter scoop to…
Nelly and I (when I still had pinky purple hair)…
I hope that this is what Spider would think…. Rest in peace, my sweet little boy. Missing you and loving you forever.
We had the first bit of proper rain (well, one short heavy downpour at least) in Puerto del Carmen yesterday, and check out Ruby looking on in amazement. 🙂 …
Since Spider’s death 10 days ago, things have not been the same around here. I know that animals grieve the loss of a family member or close friend as much…
I picked up Spider’s ashes from my vets in Tías yesterday. Driving home, I “talked” to him and cried all the way home, and had to make a stop because…
In memory of my amazing SpiderCat – I miss you so much, my baby. It’s hurts so bloody much to not have you here ever again. 🙁 🙁 🙁
I bought this e-book called “Soul Comfort for Cat Lovers” yesterday, which is a really big help for bereaved cat parents. Amongst a lot of other helpful advice, it suggests…
I wrote this song about 20 years ago before Spider & Lugosi were even born, and even though it’s about a person who had died, it seems fitting right now….
Almost 3 weeks ago, Spider, who turned 18 last month, was found to have a growth in his mouth, which I thought was just a bad tooth. It turned out…
In honour of my boys’ 18th birthday last month, I decided to have another cattoo of/for them done. I already have one with their initials on my right leg, but…
The boys celebrated their 18th birthday on Monday. Here are the highlights from that special day… 🙂
What a long life for 2 kitties, eh?! I am so amazed that both of them made it to this point, what with chronic illness and life-saving surgery (Lugosi’s perineal…
Spider hates being in the cat carrier. He even got himself a bloody claw once because he tried to fight his way out. He simply goes ballistic in there. So…
Since I took these photos a few months ago, I have actually got a few more new cat jewellery items!
Our vets has this poster on the wall inviting people to take selfies hugging their dog and then posting the pictures on the elpoderdelabrazo.es website and your Instagram. Well, me…
Loooook! Lugosi, Spider, Ruby and Janelle were featured in this beautiful video! Now all we gotta do is move to Ireland and get that job! 🙂 DREAM JOB ALERT!!!!!…
Listen to those supersonic purrs! 🙂
He hates having selfies with me taken, but decided to tolerate it for 20 seconds or so. 😉
Selfie with Ruby Selfie with Spider – sorry, but Lugosi *hates* selfies with me being taken, but I’ll try and get one of him soon anyway!
Not sure what to call these because they’re not cube shaped… feline ice shapes? Kitty Icicles? Cat Ice? Let me have your suggestions. 🙂
Look at him supurrvising his mummy! He’s really good at it. 🙂
Spider supurrvising me changing the bed clothes… It’s a dirty job, but some cat’s gotta do it! Spider supurrvising me changing the bed clothes… It’s a dirty job, but…
In case you missed yesterday’s post, it was the boys’ and my 13th anniversary. Here’s a little video from our Instagram of them getting their special 13th treats. 🙂 13th…
It’s been 13 years since I “married” Lugosi and Spider. In 2015, we held a little “renewal of meows” ceremony which was also featured on TV in Channel 5’s documentary about…
