Not my cat

Was going to take a picture of my cat tonight as she has been rolling around in the dust and turning herself from a very neat black and white cat into a dirty grey one....

However I have just found a tick on her and having removed it now feel she doesn't deserve the fame and glory that would come with her first blip. This is a job I would normally reserve for my husband but as he is away at the moment I have had to bite the bullet, thankfully not the tick!!! This nasty little creature (the tick not the cat) has managed to attach itself in the space of an hour as the last time I saw her trundling out of the gate she was tick-free.

Perhaps I should have blipped the tick on its deathbed, but I have decided to spare you and took a soothing picture of some pansies instead. I feel much better now, if a little itchy.....
