Friday Cat Blogging – 5 April 2019

I was at the top of the stairs and happened to have my camera in my hand when Hopper and Hilbert came tearing into the house last week.

A dog passing by? Could be anything.

Today we have a bonus cat! A bonus kitten, actually. Yesterday the Washington Post ran a piece about Dean Nicholson, who is currently bicycling around the world. He started in Scotland, and eventually made his way to Bosnia—where a kitten by the side of the road stole his heart and became his companion for the rest of the journey, riding along in a pouch on the front of the bike. A couple of pictures from Nicholson’s Instagram page are below. Click here for more.
