Sparky can now jump on to the windowsill They'll both spend most of #caturday up there.

Both kitties have had their flea and wormer treatment ready for their first proper sniff of outdoors next weekend. 'Just separate the fur and apply to the back of the neck' isn't just so simple with the luxurious fur these two have been blessed with.

We'll soon be fitting a Petflap to our back door, so keep an eye out for videos on the Ecoflap Draughtproofing YouTube channel for those.

These guys are four months old tomorrow. Tails is getting bolder and bolder, and Sparky soppier and soppier They're off to the vet's next week for flea and wormer ahead of starting to go outside a week later. They need to be weighed to make sure they get the appropriate dose while they're still growing.

Mind blowing that one new wind turbine can produce so much power compared to the old ones.

Tails and Sparky are 16 weeks old and growing fast. Sparky was half Tails' weight when they were rescued and now he's the heavier. There's a bit of argy bargy while they adjust to this new dynamic - we'll be glad when they can take it outside! #caturday
