No, I’m not old - I won’t become an adult until I’m about 10. I’m a Russian tort (also called a Horsfield tort) and claws crossed will live until at least 50, though I’m aiming for around 70. Some Russians have been known to reach 100! 🐢💚

They’ll wake me up after 12 weeks as that’s about as long as I should snooze at my age (7)! 🐢💤

Here you go, both - a map of the School for you to have a wander around, and you can put your paws up in the #Sharpclaw common room! You’ll get your own dorm very soon… 🐢🧐

Happy to welcome Lukey into the #Sharpclaw fold, Prof. MadEye, he looks like an intelligent and hardworking floof! Lukey, if you could send me a front-facing pic (sat up if possible), I can get started on your uniform. ~ Prof. Beak 🐢

It’s okay, Dolly, my Servants get me back down again once I’m done with my weigh in! Eight weeks of #fridgelife down, four weeks to go! 🐢💤

Whaaaaat? He’s awful! I don’t even think he’s a proper tort, just a skinny imposter! 🐢😬

Luckily my stupid brother hasn’t found this account yet and is therefore not offending all my BlueSky chums (unlike on Twitter where he’s calling everypaw fat). But you guys get the brumating MAGNIFICENCE anyway… 🐢😬 #fridgelife

Lazy Servants didn’t weigh me at the weekend as usual (neglect) but I’m happy to report I’ve not lost a single gram since last week! Still bossing #fridgelife! 🐢💪🏻

Yes, my Servants weigh me every week to check I’m okay. I can safely lose up to 10% of my body weight (c. 110g), but more than that is dangerous and can cause organ damage etc. If I got close to the 10% the Servants would wake me up! 🐢💤

Official weekly weigh-in: only one gram lost! Lady Servant says if she hadn’t eaten for a week and only lost one gram, she’d throw the scales out the window. I’m not sure she understands #fridgelife… 🐢🙄

Hi Morgan! Yes I’m snoozing now until February but I have great telepathic links with my Servants, luckily! 🐢💤
