Many of you will recognise this photo as being from the first day that I met Wookie,  and my full-on obsession with him began! (I had previously fallen in love with him from a photo on Facebook!) 
When Lady Dinah's opened, they were booked up for months in advance, and so I was incredibly lucky to secure a table on my birthday! 😻 From that very first visit, we knew the place was special. It was a feeling that is hard to describe... a feeling of safety, of security, of friendliness, of peace. ❤️ 
We rapidly became regular visitors and got to know Lauren and the lovely team who worked there.  As a highly introverted, socially awkward and anxious person, there is very little that is more soothing  than walking into somewhere and having people greet you by name!❤️ To mention (once!) that table 5 at the top of the stairs is your favourite place to sit, and then be automatically allocated the same table each time you visit makes you feel valued as a customer,  but also as a café friend. ❤️ We signed up for VIP membership and got to know other VIP customers in the evenings. Those visits were a real lifesaver to us during a very difficult period in our lives. My brother had been diagnosed with a brain tumour, and when his treatment began to fail, the stress, pressure, and responsibility began to rise.  After a  day of dealing with hospital visits, caring for him at home, or just the general life admin that comes with a terminal cancer diagnosis, it was truly lovely to just hop on the train to Lady Dinah's and switch all that off for a couple of hours. To enjoy the company of like-minded,  cat obsessed people and just relax... We have made some lovely friends from our visits to Lady Dinah's,  and more again through Wookie and his Instagram account!😻 Though my love for Wookie grew each time I saw him, I rarely approached him on those visits on account of him looking me up and down on one such approach and promptly walking away!😹 I would have been mortified if anyone had witnessed that,  and so from then on, I admired him from afar!😹
When Wookie came up for adoption, I didn't dare hope that I might become his Mama, but applied and hoped for the best! 😻

🎶🎵"Happy Birthday to Woo, Happy  Birthday to Woo,  Happy Birthday dear Wookie, Happy Birthday to Woo!!!"🎵🎶
Today, the mognificent beast that is our WookieBear turns 11 years old!!!🙀🙀🙀 How can this be??🙀🙀🙀 As you can see from his birthday picture, he looks not a day older than when he came home to us over 5 years ago! (He brought the Floofen paw to show that he still has high levels of sass!!)😻😻😻 
2nd birthday breakfast has already been served, and the birthday fairy brought him a super mega tub of his favourite Thrive chimkin treats, so we'll be cracking them open later...😻😻😻 
As always, we thank Lauren and the team at Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium for entrusting us with caring for this wonderful furry creature! He really is such a joy to be around, and makes every day we spend with him just that little bit better...❤️💓❤️💓❤️
