Wow, what a journey it has been to get here… I’m almost ready to cross the start line in my first ever marathon, and I couldn’t have done it without all your support and donations towards the Truro and District Cats Protection Branch! As I type this, I’m less than £100 from reaching my total, which in itself, is an epic achievement! So thankyou to … Continue reading Gizmos Human – London Marathon Tracking Info
Well, I’m not sure where the time has gone since I last posted, but its only 31 days until Gizmos Human crosses the start line of the London Marathon… The training has been going really well, apart from feeling like there arent enough hours in the day, every day, for the last 3 months!?

Knowledge is knowing how soft and silky Gizmos fluffy tummy is to stroke… Wisdom is knowing NOT to stroke it if you value your limbs, and want to keep your hands free of teeth and claw marks 😹 Do you ever fall for the kitty tummy trap…!? Continue reading Kitty Tummy Trap… 🤭
It’s been a while since Gizmo presented us with regular gifts, but in the last 48 hours, I think hes made up for it…?! Like many humans at the moment, I’m struggling to get a good nights sleep. Yes, it’s probably a combination of pandemic stress, work anxiety and generally not feeling able to relax, but Gizmo is not helping the situation… I start this … Continue reading Close Encounter… 😳🐁

Gizmo loves spending time in the garden when the sun is shining ❤ He also loves climbing on the fence to spy on the neighbours 🤦♀️😹 Its days like this when I love sitting in the garden … Continue reading Purrfect days…
Sundays are for sleeping… Not just because we lost an hour of sleep last night thanks to the clocks coming forward, but also because Gizmo spent most of the night loudly chasing (and misplacing) a mouse in the living room…. Mouse location still unknown… 🐁🤦♀️ My front room is now littered with humane mouse traps, waiting for the little darling to appear… 😹🤦♀️ Thanks Gizmo … Continue reading Sundays are for sleeping…😹💤
Since I started running, I’ve found there are good runs, runs I would rather forget, and runs that dont go to plan… and yesterdays run definitely did NOT go to plan. I managed to squeeze two short runs in the week around work commitments, but yesterday I’d planned to do my long run. In hindsight I think I pushed myself a bit hard on my … Continue reading Gizmos Human Marathon Update – 21 March 2021
I know that humans across the world are all talking about getting their covid vaccines at the moment, but today Gizmo went to have his annual check up and vaccination. He is not a fan of the cat carrier, and even less happy about the journey in the car. How do I know this!? Because he shouts at me throughout the entire journey… 🤦♀️ Not … Continue reading Gizmos’ Annual Vaccine…
