Bowie – the stress bunny / stray cat

She is very interested…

Stressed out and impinging on “my” cushion…

Bowie is off her face…

We picked up Bowie, our new familiar, from the vets. She is a female and about 3-4 years old.

Because of the drugs, she is a bit off her face. She tried to wash…

—

She was a bit unsteady on her paws but colour co-ordinates well with the kitchen.

—

Not much appetite yet. When the radiator comes on she can cwtch up…

—

No need for catnip, she is still a bit groggy…

Bro-gembre and Llydaw and Instagram

Over the last few days I have been toying with the idea of creating an Instagram photography site.

My exclusive new lingerie range is due for release soon. It is designed for heavily built, hirsute, ex-front row rugby players. The idea is to bring out the inner-tranny hidden deep within. It comes in all sizes XL, XXL, XXXL and XXXXL. I could model it in home shot videos. I might need to put a trigger warning and ensure that my nipples are covered with Cornish pasties or Greggs steak slices.

I have bee scanning my archives and there are some fine photos therein.

I have been toying with the Breizh – Cymru theme. Most of the photos are taken here in Bro Dreger…

Ideas include:

Breeze-Breizh

Breizh, bugs and flowers…

Kembraeg – Brezhoneg

Breizh – Llydaw – Bro-gembre

Breizh – Kembread – Photography

Breizh – Kembraeg – Luc’hskeudennerezh

That last one is a bit long….

The Bowie Saga

—

This morning I placed some cat biscuits in the cat carrier with the door affixed for left handed use. I sat with my right arm over the carrier and Bowie walked right into the “trap” and with minimal fuss I was able to close the door with my left hand.

We took Bowie to the vet who confirmed that there was no microchip. Bowie has been “here” since the middle of October last year. We have arranged for an appointment next week to have her chipped, vaccinated, and sterilised. We are therefore in the act of adopting her.

This evening we have had a ‘phone call from someone in our local village who has lost her cat. The timings are a bit off. But I have just sent her some photos.

Something tells me that there is more to come in this saga…
