BBC: Brighton cat walking tour raised funds for City Cat Shelter

Cat lovers headed out on a guided walking tour of Brighton to meet some of the city's feline residents and raise money for an animal rescue charity.

Organisers said participants on Sunday's Brighton Cat Tour saw about 25 of the animals during a 3km walk around the city, with proceeds supporting a local shelter.

The tour began at 10:15 BST and took people through neighbourhoods where owners have volunteered to introduce visitors to their pets.

I lost a glove the other day. I was bummed. I can afford a new pair, but I happened to like this one. Today, I walked the dog, and for the first time in my life, I was the beneficiary of the universal put-a-found-glove-on-a-pole system. It made my day.

Anyway, I think I deserve a smoothie now.

I have cleaned the bits of upstairs that needed cleaning but there is a lot to do downstairs another day. I’m not sure how we have slipped from Tom saying he would do all the cleaning while our cleaner’s off sick to… me doing all the cleaning. Raising this hasn’t seemed to get me anywhere.

This will improve your day.

one of the looters in saturday's "riots" is a lad who cares for his disabled younger brother because their mother is in psychiatric care. what reason could he *possibly* have to lash out at the government and steal expensive stuff? clearly it must be because he's a violent criminal. 🙄(:blobcatheart:)

the correct response from the "justice" system here is not a court hearing; it's "i'm so sorry we've let you down; how can we help you and your family?"

A for horses
B for mutton
C for yourself, etc etc

The cat is so comfy. But the bathroom is so dirty.

I retired today. My first project is to visit every tube station I've never used and have a meal at a nearby restaurant or café. First stop is Grange Hill, where I hope to eat a massive sausage.

Just look at this trustworthy face! Surely this is a fellow who can be left alone with your food, who would never commit any crimes of thievery. #cats

I really need a wee now and the cat doesn’t care about my overactive bladder

It has been a very bad few years, and it has been a very bad few years because some very, very rich people paid to buy exactly this outcome.
