*BREAKING MEWS*

Tilly: "Liz! Dolly! Gloria! Yayoi! It's happening!"
The Queen: "Do you need a double dubonnet Matilda? At least it's not a child of yours had up for being a - what do they call it?"
Tilly: "A nonce, Liz."
The Queen: "ah yes. One of those."
Gloria, patting Liz: "The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off."
The Queen: "It did." 
Dolly: "Well ain't Paddy a sight for sore eyes! Is he up to some hillbilly hubba hubba?"
Tilly: "In my breeder's dreams. Perhaps he's been firing blanks. Must say, back in the day I would have ridden him like a pony.....ah." Her voice softens. "Dave's fucked. Annabel and Provider 3 love him."
Yayoi: "You and me, we are dots. Paddy is one big dot and polka dots can't stay alone..."
Tilly: "I know that Yayoi but Dave won't have two dots darling. Probably why Annabel's gone for a dime bar as big as two cats." *sniffles. "It was only a matter of time I know. Provider Three has found my flight to the sky particularly challenging. Talks about me every night."
Dolly: "Well, looks like this is a done deal. Love 1, Dave 0. Shall we celebrate? Liz, pass that liquor of yours!"
Tilly: "He says he's 4 out of 10 excited. Humbling when you realise your greatest work isn't finished." 
Gloria: "Breaking men Tilly is never the answer..."
Tilly: "Getting another british shorthair is." 

I am delighted to announce that we will be rehoming one year old ex stud Paddy very soon! Another High Brooms boy, he comes from Tilly's amazing breeder and with her blessing ❤️ Thank you to everyone who has put up with my unhinged CAT UPDATES and those who have supported JOWLS all the way. It is a strange, delicate feeling opening our hearts to another; I am equally ecstatic to have him and sad over my girl. As my friend Laura said, the only way to get over a cat is to get under another. 

And I cannot wait to get under this 6kg still two years to grow gentle big boy 🇮🇪❤️ #Paddy #Irish #Rehome #Britishblue

It was either a trip down memory lane, or forensically picking apart Reform councillors wanging on about IVF being a lifestyle choice.....

Thank you for all of your gorgeous comments, texts, and voicenotes about Tils. Today my son said, "Tilly's in the sky Mummy but she told me she wants to come home." 

Darling, I wish she could. 

Tell me about your pets keeping you afloat through Life's Shit?

Tilly: It's time
Provider One: No. We're not ready. 
Tilly: Have you looked at the news? Jesus christ, I think I bloody am. *nuzzles Provider One. Provider Two, get a pen. Time to write my oBITCHuary. Less of your Dignicat jokes please Dave.
Provider Two: *blinking rapidly Too soon?
Tilly: (looks sadly at Annabel crying) Yes. Now. Help me onto my blanket.
Provider One: I don't know how we are going to be without you. I don’t understand a home without you in it. I can't.
Tilly: I know darling. But I'm tired. As Mog said, dead tired. You've got Provider Three. We did it. My boy. He doesn't like dogs, loves cats. Apart from taking down Trump, Farage, birth inequity and the patriarchy, my work here is done. *looks up lovingly at Provider Two, who is now crying quietly. Dave, don’t be an idiot when the time comes. You know you're having another british shorthair and I'll do my best to help you pick an icon just like me. A reassuringly expensive icon. Just get the pet insurance this time.
Provider One: *heaving with tears How about first sentence, "She died as she liv-id?"
Tilly: Christ. Hope this book of yours is better than that. Make sure I'm in it. Also, I know you're the only one in your NCT group not to have one, but don't go getting a shit tattoo of me ok? Think before you ink.

P1 and P2 nuzzle closer with Tilly.

Tilly: Over fourteen years together as a family. Marriage, miscarriage, divorce, pandemics, functioning bulimia, breaking Dave, political disintegration, hot vet, Royal Family beef, work, IVF, birth, not sleeping, redundancy, moving house, dodgy hearts, passive aggressive toileting, rehoming myself when he was born, my sustainability policy when it came to greeting cards....we've been through it all. Ah, those vet bills. Dave, I'm sorry I shat in your slipper but also I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. Don't turn down the Scrumbles pet food advertising campaign next time Annabel. I....I love you both.
