Totally agree. I found it, well, a bit shallow. @davidsnow.bsky.social loved it, but I just got a bit bored with it.

So very nice and heals my soul a little to know Warren still has some feline friends, even though no cat will ever replace his sister Shirley. This happens every morning now, this neighbourhood cat hang out πŸˆβ€β¬›

It’s horrific isn’t it? The very human detail, the invention, the coercion. Just beyond awful xx

Beautiful kitten man Warren. We’re still missing his twin sister Shirley dreadfully, but he seems to be doing okay, thankfully.

I'm utterly broken and in complete shock - it just does not compute. She'd just gone out for a stroll after her post-dinner nap. My poor little baby.

They're just useless eccentric ancient old men channelling Mr Trebus in a jewellery shop. They don't know where anything is in the piled up mess. I think they're overwhelmed, not evil. Anyone interested, here it is - it was once a wonderful old shop: shopfrontelegy.wordpress.com/2014/10/06/n...

It’s rainy and miserable outside, so Warren has decided his time is best spent upside down in his shark.

Ugh. As of literally just now, he's now added two large earthworms to his tally. No frogs yet, thank Christ.

In a horrifying turn of events, Warren just brought us his latest β€˜kill’, carrying it in his mouth while miaowing loudly and proudly, and then dropped it by my handbag. A giant slug.

I hear you. We lost our dear rescue cat Arthur to various chronic illnesses last July. So here we are again, with two more rescue kittens - brother and sister Warren and Shirley. There's so many abandoned cats desperate for a home right now! You're doing a great thing xx

She does. Her major contribution is coming into the room screaming carrying her 'ribbon baby' in her mouth when I'm on Zoom calls. I'm going to have a word with HR.
