Helen Clayton

I just read a National Trust instagram post in which they’d asked people to comment about their cats but replace the word ‘cat’ with ‘colleague’.

All very amusing but ‘My colleague got startled by his own fart and fell from the sofa’ had me chortle out loud in the osteopath’s waiting room.

@helenclayton My colleague looked most indignant when I tried to comb a knot out of the fur around his bottom.

@helenclayton my colleague was sitting demurely at the end of my bed until the other colleague jumped up and swatted them off, claiming the spot for himself.

@helenclayton my colleague spent 30 minutes at 5am digging in the litter. She then proceeded to produce the most unholy creation in history.

my colleague wouldn't get out of the sink the other day, just kept standing on the edge and chirping at me.

@moonrabbit aww bless his floofy socks.

The weather has improved and I’m home from the osteopath so I’ll probably potter outside doing nothing terribly constructive.

@helenclayton my colleague just alerted me to an intruder on the window. I swatted it down to her and she captured and ate it. Teamwork.

@IcooIey excellent teamwork. Gold stars 🌟

@helenclayton my colleague stuck her nose in my other colleague's ear and had a good sniff, decided she didn't like what she smelled in there and hissed at him

@afewbugs sounds fair enough 😂

@helenclayton he was utterly bewildered poor guy 😂 And understandably so, she did it to herself and it really wasn't fair to blame him for it

@helenclayton my colleague is now taking breaks from chewing his foot to shout at me to feed him

@helenclayton I like colleagues, but the longer haired ones do tend to make me sneeze, and it really annoys me when they crap in my garden.
