This is Tibby. He was my #Cat when I was a teenager and living at home with my family. He would find a way to stay out all night but would include his deafening, sustained Meowing under my bedroom window between 3-5am EVERY night. I had school next day with bleary eyes! #Catsofbluesky #cats #catlife

Everything you say about Lily hits the mark. If you ever came to Manchester you would be our most special guest. 🥰🐈‍⬛🤗🤗

Ah hello Vincent! Such a handsome dude 🐈‍⬛. Yes, Lily was unlucky in her kittenhood and it left lasting mental ongoing scars. She gets into fights with the local cats but usually wins. She loves us though and we, of course, return that 🐈‍⬛❤️🐈‍⬛❤️

Ah Connie, you are a wonderful person 🥰. The challenge with Lily remains, at times, really tough. She HATES all other cats and violently lashes out at them, which ties in with her isolated early life. She has no experience of growing up with other cats. She has grown to trust and love us though. 🤗

I have just found this photo of Lily again! It was soon after she arrived and she is very young. We got her from Cats Protection charity as she was a rescue cat. We were told her previous owner was keeping her in one room 24/7. #Catsofbluesky #RescueCat #Catlovers #Cat #Cats #BlackCats

She has already done a fabulous job in mostly licking the wetness out with her skilled dry tongue 🌧🐈‍⬛😋

Lily got totally drenched this morning, as it is relentlessly throwing it down here in #Manchester today (no change there then! 🌧☔️) #Catsofbluesky #Blueskycats #Cats #Cat #Blackcats

This may look exactly the same as yesterday's Lily pic but it is not. This is at a different angle and includes my apple tree. Enjoy! #Catsofbluesky #Cats #BlackCat #Catsky #blueskycats

My mother and my childhood cat, "Cinders" around 1980. She was beautiful with a soothing personality (I'm talking about Cinders!😁🐈‍⬛) #Catsofbluesky #BlueskyCats #Cats #Catlovers #Mother
