My Favourite Old Lady.

I figured that I mention my cat, Doll so much but hardly ever talk about Suzie anymore. Suzie is our family cat, who was adopted full-time by my Gran when we were busy moving a few years ago. As she had her every need attended to, we decided to let her stay with my Gran, and in her older years I'd definitely say it's overall the better thing for her anyway.

We share a birthday so these were taken a couple of weekends ago when I was staying with my Gran. She's like my sister and the nicest cat, although Dolly's improving there's a lot she can learn from Suzie, who's now the grand old age of 17. She's been part of my life for such a long time and is always pleased to see me so it's hard to imagine how I'll feel when she's not around anymore but she's hanging in there well and truly as despite not being up to hunting (she's brought us in bats and even bunnies among the usual birds and mice!) and slowing up, she's a lot more with it than her age would imply. She's really easy to take photos of and likes nothing more than cuddling up on the nearest person's lap.

Soft kitty.

So, in my 2012, cats are kind of a big deal. So I was pretty damn excited when I saw a Paul & Joe cat-shaped blusher stick in this month's Company, it was the final straw. From beauty to the fact that you can't watch anything on Youtube without ending up on cats, I'm pretty sure that there's not going to be much getting away from pesky felines any time in the near future, so I figure, why not embrace it? And cats are great anyway, so...

The latest collection from Paul & Joe is a bit cat-centric. It's a bit more expensive than I would normally pay but I think it's all still pretty good value for money, plus for the extra money you can have paw-prints in your lipstick and a cat wearing a top hat to greet you when you put on your blusher - I don't even wear blusher!

This range is available exclusively to ASOS, and after discovering Paul & Joe's kitties, I thought I'd take a look to see what else ASOS has to offer on the cat front, it turns out, quite a lot.

Earlier this week, you may remember that I talked about Lazy Oaf, well they too have some sweet cat clothing coming up in their S/S 2012 range, but which one to pick, it's a toughy.

There's also a set of Lazy Oaf badges that I wouldn't mind getting my hands on, especially since losing my Gemma Correll Monday Cat pin at my interview on Monday *creys*
Lazy Oaf Meow Badge Pack, £3.50, Lazy Oaf
Here are some other cat things to round this off, how do you feel about cats? (HA!) I wouldn't even say I'm a 'cat-person', I basically just like any cute, furry animal, like any other normal girl who uses the internet. I definitely like cats more than horses though, although I still find it hard to say no to a horse dress.

I think it would be nice if this was real and accessible.


So, I was looking for some neat cat nail art that I hadn't shown you before, but this came up and I thought this was better. It was posted on this forum and as cute as it may look I think we should all just consider why someone would need to do this...

I hope you enjoyed my cat homage, I think I've exerted all my crazy now, so thanks for that.

Look at this cat!

This cat lives down my road in New Malden, it has a weird meow and just look at it's face. It's super friendly, I kind of like it, it has character. ♥

Ready Freddy.

I am all packed and ready for Glastonbury, only two more sleeps to go now, might be the last big photo post I do before then, hopefully someone from a job I've applied for will look me up in the time I am gone.
I am most proud of these.


I had a bit of fun playing around with my 35mm lens, on the 'Action' setting so I could get some good ones of my cat - iknorite, so original. You might be seeing a lot of 'depth of fielding' (a technical term), from now on as I'm in love with how this lens works. So, so in love.



Made my decision to definitely go and see Mumford and Sons on Friday ♥, lovely, wonderful men, even if it will be crazy-busy.
I've somehow managed to get roped into going to ChessingtonWOF with my sister tomorrow, so I will be asleep by like 9, meaning I will be able to be up for 4, as we are now leaving at 5 instead of 7 - eep.

Finally, lookers; my sister and I are some.
