A photograph showing a calico cat sitting across my shoulder (just visible in the photo) and a black and white cat watching with less enthusiasm from the kitchen.
The enthusiasm to my return is not… evenly… distributed 😹 #NorahNeko #CasperCat
The pet sitter arrived quite late last night, and all food had been devoured. #CasperCat and #NorahNeko appear to debate eating one another, or discuss who will eat any food, should it ever appear again.
(Food did appear in a mercifully copious quantity.)
A pet sitter will visit while I travel and look after #NorahNeko and #CasperCat. Other than the fact she won’t catch sight of either of them, there’s nothing about their care that is complex, overly particular or not common sense.
… I’ve therefore created an 11 page bilingual supporting document 😐
Photograph taken under the bed showing a under-bed drawer from which two pairs of cat ears can be see poking out.
Nobody can see us.

A calico cat and a black and white cat sit on a blanket inside a drawer that slides under the bed.
This drawer is just cats.
#NorahNeko #CasperCat
Cats have gone on hunger strike. (Neither takes change well.)
#CasperCat is refusing to move from the drawer under the bed. I crawled on my belly and put two plates of food in the drawer with him 🤦🏼♀️
#NorahNeko has been convinced to try food… if it’s served next to mine & she eats it with her paw 🧐
A calico cat is somehow walking along the tops of the hangers in a closet.
Pro: no longer hiding in bathroom.
Con: unlikely to end better.
#NorahNeko
I am now in an apartment full of boxes!
#NorahNeko has decided she lives under the seat in the bathroom. #CasperCat has refused to leave his carrier.
I have been unable to find a teaspoon 🧐
A calico cat curled on a red blanket on my lap with her back paws stretched outwards.
Toe bean time. #NorahNeko
A photo taken via a webcam. Through a gap in sliding doors, two cats can be seen having a (separate) wash.
Time for a bathe. #CasperCat #NorahNeko
A pencil case in the shape of a calico cat wearing an astronaut suit is suspended by a hook in a shop.
A black mug has a small calico cat in an astronaut suit under the handle. The mug is labelled “NYASA”.
Astronaut enrollment, you say? #NorahNeko seems to have been hired to be a kittynaut at NYASA 😳
(In Japan, cats say “nya” rather than “meow” 😹)
A calico cat is curled on a window bed. One paw is tucked around the side of the blankets on the bed, pulling them a bit closer.
Hold onto your blankets. We’re mid-week. #NorahNeko
A snowman has been scraped together and leans against a stone wall. Its body is decorated with pinecones and it has two small spades for arms and a flower pot for a hat.
A small traditional building with heavy wooden door and tiled roof sits in front of modern tall apartment buildings. There’s snow on the roof and partially covering the ground.
Two cats look out of the window at the snow. One is sitting on the window bed. The other has his front legs on the window bed, back legs on the table in a standing posture.
More scenes of #snowkyo! #NorahNeko #CasperCat

Full #Snowkyo! Glared at by #NorahNeko.
And you get a kiss.

FOUND YOU!

A calico cat is lying on a window bed with her face pressed into the bed.
A black and white cat (seen on a webcam) is lying upside down in a bed box with his paws over his face.
Vibes. #NorahNeko #CasperCat
Last night, #CasperCat was meowing and I got up to check he was OK.
#NorahNeko came into the room with me, walked up to Casper, and spanked him on the cheek.
I mean… yes… I was asleep as well, but I was planning to opt for a more sympathetic approach 😂 (Casper was fine.)
After frolics with #CasperCat, I really appreciate #NorahNeko taking the time to straighten the rug back out 😂

No photos! #NorahNeko
A calico cat sits on a bed looking at a black duffle bag with an expression of irritation.
“Why is the duvet in a bag? I was planning to snooze on it this fine morning. You appear displeased, but the reason is quite unfathomable. I remain a delight.” — #NorahNeko
It was late, cold, and I have no spare duvet. So when I discovered…
(For the uninformed, cat urine odour is… distinctive)
…that #NorahNeko had some (still unknown) beef about the day, I turned the duvet around and tried to get to sleep.
Everything is now being washed. Including me.
Knowing the way that #NorahNeko …
expresses… her displeasure, I have a waterproof blanket in the bed.
Which the wicked furball had managed to burrow under before urinating 🤦🏼♀️
Damn those calico brains (see how I know it wasn’t #CasperCat?).
Photo of a large commercial washing machine with a duvet in it.
I love my rescue cats but by god, they are EXTRA AF.
#NorahNeko … for example… urinates on the bed when she’s annoyed. This often involves the cat sitter. But yesterday…
See where I’m going with this story? It ends in a coin laundry.
A calico cat lies on her back on my lap while I’m sitting as a desk chair. There’s a red fluffy (and admittedly, heated) blanket over my legs that she’s lying on.
I want to go to bed, but that’s obviously now impossible. I live in this chair. #NorahNeko
Would you like to change the colour of your cat? May I present... the magic cat-changer box! (Gender may also vary.)
#CasperCat #NorahNeko
#CasperCat has discovered a new toy he received for New Years! (Although his tail is particularly happy due to being chased around the room by #NorahNeko minutes earlier 😹). Here’s to a playful 2026 with Casper & Norah! 🎍
A calico cat lies on a heated red blanket draped over a cat bed. Her head is extended towards the camera, eyes closed, and looking very content.
Have a great evening 😻
