Mother fox with three cubs, venturing out of their den and into my back garden

People rarely use our large shared garden, so the foxes feel safe out there and often bring cubs to explore and play

A mother fox and one of her cubs, in my back garden

At this time of year, I can often see groups of fox cubs, running around, chasing each other, while their mother tries to keep them safe and stop them going too far

Max - furious with me because... well, I don't know, but I'm bound to have done something wrong

Max, perched on my foot, about to clamber up my leg using his claws

A look of true determination in his eyes

I joined #mastodon on New Year’s Day, with no idea what to expect

I found somewhere totally different to other social media. No ads, no algorithm, and a massive number of really nice people. Thank you all for making me feel welcome and comfortable in this unique place you call the #fediverse

But the best part is how much you all like cats (because me too)

Here’s Molly, sitting between my knees and staring at me until I give her treats

You may know me from all the cat pictures I post. But I'm also an English teacher

Let me tell you how a sentence can have 11 HADs in a row and still be correct

(Also, Max makes a brief appearance in this video)
