SEO title spamming aside, it’s official, I’m a cat person. I’m a cat person to the extent that my kittens – Lori and Tilly Valentine – now have their own YouTube channel so they can share their playing and antics. I’ll be honest, it’s a mild attempt to get one to go viral in a … Continue reading
What a weekend it’s been. I have so much to talk about over the next day or so, but I’m just going to start with a short post about something that arrived in my inbox at the end of last week. A fortnight or so ago, I entered a “put a slogan here” competition on … Continue reading
Last night, the Monsters in-law came down to Bristol for the day in order to take Miss Monster and I out for dinner and to the theatre to see the Queen musical ‘We Will Rock You’. More on that later. What I didn’t realise is that they were doing this for my birthday – which … Continue reading
It’s been four months since little Lori arrived in the Valentine household, and yesterday, she got neutered. One thing that she’s not happy about, is coming home with a “Cone of Shame” (line stolen from the Pixar film ‘Up’) 36 hours after coming home with it on, she’s about got used to wearing it, but … Continue reading

It’s almost eight weeks ago that Miss Monster and I first brought our kitten Lori home for the first time, and now that she’s doubled in age she’s not quite as “little kitty” as she was when she first graced our household with her presence. Have a look for yourself. She’s gone from that cute … Continue reading
Whilst Miss Monster and I were doing the Bristol WOW! Gorilla Trail yesterday, we noticed what a high number of other people were doing it too and the thought struck that it would be good to have a site where everyone could share their pictures that they took with the gorillas. Some of the ones … Continue reading
Miss Monster and I have been eyeing up the WOW! Gorillas dotted around Bristol to celebrate Bristol Zoo’s 175th Anniversary and decided that we’d like to see them all. So we downloaded the map (that you can get here) and head off with my camera to see if we could grab a snap of them … Continue reading
What’s that hidden under the bed, is it a cat drawer, is it a cat draaawer? Yes, yes it is. They’ve taken to curling up in the drawer when I kick them off the bed. Sweet.
