The Deputy Lord Mayor's cat goes to the vet by zero emission transport: Billy, still smarting from his demotion from Lord Mayor’s Cat to Deputy Lord Mayor’s cat, suffered the further indignity of a trip to the vet this week, as pictured here.

We have been sent this picture of a college cat from Christ’s College, Cambridge. We’re biased but we reckon Oxford cats are cuter. oxfordclarion.uk/college-cats...

When we first published the wildly popular ‘College Cats of Oxford’ some of you wrote to us with more cats. And cat mysteries. We promised to update the article. So, here you are, the mystery of St. Anne’s and Mansfield cats solved. Because the internet always needs more cats, right? #catmap

Ozymandias, King of Kings, is one year old today. He successfully overcame FIP to become the luxuriantly-furred and mighty hunter that he is today, and we are very proud of him. Happy Birthday, Ozzy!

I don't know quite how to explain this and it's more obvious when you see her move but I've never known a cat give off such strong "human trapped in a cat's body" vibes.

Talking of (bob)cats, my good friend and teammate's cat Sage has been going through hell lately. The family opened up a GoFundMe page because they need help paying the mountainous vet bills. It would mean the world to me if you could help them out! gofund.me/0c7f1019

José and Moo were unusually close together (getting close to José is a rather chancy business), and then Mabel got up from the other end of the sofa, and walked along to curl up on top of their intersection.
Three cats in a cuddle pile on a sofa, limited by a box and a laundry bag. José is asleep; Mabel is working on being asleep; Moo is alert and suspicious.

Meet Ozymandias. He doesn't know it yet, but once he's had his second jab, he's going to be the new Magdalen College kitten.

Small Black Cat came back again @sjpat3.bsky.social, while I was doing routine maintenance, on my taxi, asking to come in. There was a stand off when Prospero and Julia saw her. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t like Small Black Cat being on her territory.

This is the face of a cat who had a routine vet's appointment at 5:30 today, and so disappeared yesterday afternoon, left us worried sick overnight, and didn't reappear until 5:35, after we'd had to cancel the appointment. Don't try to tell me they don't understand overheard English.
