Good. I see the cat I ordered has arrived.

It’s my cat, George, a honeyed half-Abyssinian, with those typical markings, in a box that is slightly too small for his majesty. Nothing else I write can truly describe the love I feel for this creature or the levels of disgusting cuteness he puts on for me around dinner time.

That’s clearly not a cat. It’s a Boxer.

If there is an empty box, a cat will sit in it. I have a buddy who works at a tiger rescue and they tested this by putting a refrigerator box in the cat's enclosure. And, as expected, she sat in it.

She needs more packaging. Balls of wool work perfectly for this purpose, I'm told :)

I ordered some trousers for work. They came in a brown paper envelope. Put it on the bed whilst I tried them on. Cat immediately sat on it. It’s now been on the bed for nearly two weeks. Must be cooler to sleep on for Cromarty.

I can see that - Abby colouring but not the strong M on the brow. We also had a Half. Think better as tend to be bigger & less susceptible to Abby things like gummy eyes etc Beautiful cat xx

Only kidding. She made me do the M&S joke. She came in a box too.

Photo shows a tortoiseshell cat with a slightly surprised and bewildered expression sitting in a cardboard box which has the word ' Pets' printed on the side (in the font used by the retailer pets at home for it's branding) the box is on a kitchen floor.

Oh my, Alex you've nailed her! I'd not thought of that but yes, Margaret Rutherford for sure! She does a great disapproving face. A tiny cat but a huge character, she makes us laugh every day since we got her from rescue.
