This cheerful character used to live in Plunket St, Kelburn in 2012, I think in a student flat. Every morning and evening it perched on this railing to receive the pats and tickles of the passing pedestrians.

Plant your root veges in the mounds so they get warmth from the sun, and your cats in the furrows for extra cosiness. Companion planting! Just remember not to earth up the cats!

Nora Leggs

Nice furrows! Maybe the cat thinks he can't be seen. Maybe he is waiting for his food to grow? Maybe it is just a variation on cat's favourite occupation – sitting in boxes.

Cute cat with his nose splodges.

Going back and forth to the dog thread, then the cat thread in the last week I have decided that in my heart of hearts I am a cat person. I like a good dog around, it’s like gravity or the Port Hills : always there. Whereas cats are endlessly…

Billy the grey cat had many years of drug wars with the neighbourhood cats in our old catnip-infested garden. Maybe it is why he doesn't think too well nowadays — we inadvertently cut off his supply by moving house. Must plant some seeds here for his entertainment.

Cat thread challenge

Love this idea... Sadly all the quirky little cat figurines that were gifted to me have been quietly thrifted so I will have to see what I can find.

Yes, you've got it. The Christmas Bengal. The tree was still being put up and he was climbing its plastic branches. I paid for half of his excellence and he was still the best and loveliest gift. I definitely could be a cat lady though – they are all bewitching.

as the Glutinous hagfish, is one of my favourite fish, they have the wonderful ability to tie themselves in knots.
They do indeed – and they’ll use it to discommode themselves of a hook they may have become engaged with-
incidentally, there were areas known as ‘hospitals’ off the Otago…

Hagfish generate an incredible amount of slime – they'll fill a 40litre bucket no trouble at all (we discovered this by experiment at Moeraki a looong time ago.)
They are not popular among fishers – they wind themselves round your line/s and befoul them – and then no other fish…

Newts are cute.

Ok so the blobfish makes me squeemish.

the Japanese fire belly newt can regenerate its eye lens 18 times over a period of 16 years and retain its structural and functional properties.
Their skin sheds alot too. Very thin layers.

Heh, well, the mystery of the oceans, huh?! ;-)

I take it you've all seen the video of how hagfish escape potential predators? It's bloody brilliant, but you may choose not to watch it over dinner.

How do the cats and the newt interact??

They used to spy on Newt. Now, they ignore each other.
