  • These stories are about big black male cat and a white and tabby female.

    We only had the girl a couple of months before the boy died. She had been mostly hiding out in the spare room; he wasn’t hostile to her, she was just so nervous. However, when she heard me crying, she came into my bedroom and stayed with me. She still comforts me, and likes to act as a weighted blanket by lying on me while I sleep.

    When the first baby was born, the boy, who hadn’t shown hunting behaviours since he was much younger, somehow managed to find a mouse to leave as a tribute by the baby’s cot. He was the only cat we had then. When the second one was born, we only had the girl cat. She also found a mouse and left it right next to the gift bag of baby stuff. Apart from that, I’ve never seen her hunt even a spider. I’m sure they would both see that as a kindness!





  • I’m trying to think of something I can actually do, but all I can think about are weird coincidences beyond my control:

    My parents and my husband’s parents were married on the same day in different parts of the country. His dad also shares my birthday.

    My first child was born on the same day as a moderately famous comedian’s first child. Later, when I looked that comedian up, I realised my second child was born on his 50th birthday.
