This is just a note to say I will no longer be posting on this blog. All future cat-related posts will be at my new <a href="http://www.tom-cox.com/">www.tom-cox.com</a> site, along with my other writing.

A huge thanks from me and The Bear to all of those who've supported this blog, and our books, over the last eight years.<br />

Thank you very much for following @MYSADCAT - aka my 19 year-old cat, The Bear - on Twitter and/or Facebook. You might also be interested to know that there are four books about him, best read in order, which are really why the Twitter account exists. They're not books of the Twitter account but narrative books about The Bear, me, and the other cats we live and have lived with. They're also a bit different to most cat books which, let's face it, can be a bit on the sentimental side. They are books about cats, but they're more books about life through the prism of cats. They include stories about lots of other animals, family (not least <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/apr/09/dad-toad-in-his-shoe">my very loud dad</a>) and living in the British countryside. If you'd like to get an idea of whether you'd like the writing in them, the best bet would be to read some of the stuff <a href="http://tomcoxblog.blogspot.co.uk/">here</a>, and <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/dec/05/cat-with-17-lives">this piece about The Bear</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first book about @MYSADCAT is Under The Paw, which was published in 2008. You can get it from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Under-Paw-Confessions-Cat-Man/dp/147113685X/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1KW0GFR7ETA5B9B6F8X0">amazon uk</a> and <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/under-the-paw/tom-cox/9781471136856">Waterstones</a>. If you're overseas, your best bet is probably to <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Under-Paw-Tom-Cox/9781471136856">get it from the book depository</a>, who conveniently do free worldwide delivery.</div>

<br />
The second book about @MYSADCAT - which stars <a href="https://twitter.com/MYSMUGCAT">@MYSMUGCAT</a> on the cover - is Talk To The Tail, which was published in 2011. Again, you can get it from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Talk-Tail-Adventures-Ownership-Beyond/dp/1471136841/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0BP7NYEY5VT5825WRSMK">amazon uk</a> and <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/talk-to-the-tail/tom-cox/9781471136849">Waterstones</a> but if you're overseas, I recommend <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Talk-Tail-Tom-Cox/9781471136849">the book depository</a>.<br />

<br />
The third book about @MYSADCAT is The Good, The Bad And The Furry, which was published in 2013. As ever, it's available from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Good-Bad-Furry-Melancholy/dp/0751552399/ref=pd_sim_b_2">amazon uk</a> and <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-good-the-bad-and-the-furry/tom-cox/9780751552393">Waterstones</a> but it has also been published in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1250063248/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d2_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0CG1XP22799JV1H44WA6&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop">the US</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Good-Bad-Furry-Worlds-Melancholy/dp/1250063248/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1437512367&sr=8-2&keywords=good+bad+furry">Canada</a>.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This week you will see a ghost but nobody will notice when you look startled about it as you look like that a lot of the time already anyway. Later, a serendipitous series of events - all vole-related - will take you on a lengthy journey (247 yards). You will then wander back in your own time.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">THE BEAR</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;">The Bear - aka @MYSADCAT - is, by some distance, the most polite cat I've ever met. When he wants food, he asks for it not with a meow, but by nodding eagerly towards the food cupboard. Now 19, and a bit of a Benjamin Button cat (he's starting to look something like his age now but looked older at 5 than he did at 17), he has more of a meeoop than a meow: a noise that, despite its gentle nature, can pull noisily at your heart strings with its central question, which usually seems to translate as, "Can you tell me why I am a cat, please?" While other cats throw their weight about in various ways, punching each other & killing rodents, The Bear adopts a pacifist lifestyle and prefers to spend the day following me around, staring at me with his big saucer eyes, which seem to contain all the world's sadness. I did once catch him sitting alone with a dead mouse but I think another cat had killed it, and he just wanted to read some elegiac poetry to it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">"Can cats actually have sideburns?" you might wonder. The answer to the question, for anyone who has encountered Ralph - aka <a href="http://twitter.com/MYSMUGCAT">@MYSMUGCAT</a> - is an emphatic "Yes!" Frequently compared to such hirsute mid-20th Century male pin-ups as Jim Morrison and Parallax View-era Warren Beatty, Ralph is simultaneously the most pretty and the most narcissistic of my cats. His beauty comes at a price, though - largely that of being a magnet to parasites and other creepy-crawlies, never more so than during the autumn of 2012, when he averaged around two slugs on his back per day. This wasn't ideal, especially when I found one of the slugs swimming around in my unattended morning cereal. That said, I found the image of the slugs on his back wasn't quite so bad if I imagined that each one was a small snake riding a horse. Ralph is also known for being able to meow his own name. It's a clever habit. Alternatively, perhaps he's just one of those annoying cats who like to refer to themselves in the third person.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;">Imagine a fur-covered mix of Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It, a medieval fool employed to entertain those who pay for his food, a punk rock musician and an unusually large, especially persistent meat fly, and you pretty much have Shipley - aka <a href="http://twitter.com/MYSWEARYCAT">@MYSWEARYCAT</a> - down to a tee. Picked as an "extra", way back in 2001 when I adopted his brother, Ralph, due to the fact he was the runt of the litter and I felt sorry for him, he soon grew into a personality that was anything but runtish, and got into the habit of walking around the house swear-meowing, batting The Bear on the head and chewing any paperback book I was remiss enough to leave lying around. Shipley is constantly in my face, talking trash. This persona can only be defused by picking him up and turning him upside down, at which point he will become as mellow as a Grateful Dead fan at a "legalise cannabis" fundraiser, and purr in a such a powerful way, you suspect it could serve as a renewable energy source.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;">Princess was born into a cultured environment in Kilburn, West London, in February 2012, then, a few months later, cruelly transported into a far less cultured one, in Norfolk, by her new owners and given the name of a dead American man from the 1800s. Roscoe now lives in Devon with three male cats, all of whom are much older and much bigger, but significantly less hard, than her. Her hobbies include hedgerow admin, flirting with strange men at the pub near our house, dancing into the kitchen on her back legs whilst doing "paw high fives", and eating human hair. She is still feeling very bitter about not being picked to star in the new Batman film, although has hopes she will not be overlooked for the sequel 'Batman Returns: As A Small, Businesslike Female Cat'.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;">George is a former stray who lived here in Devon with me for six months: first in a bush in my garden, then - after I'd taken him to the vet to get his unusually huge balls cut off - on various chairs, cushions and freshly washed jumpers inside my house. I'd initially thought he was a rough cat from a nearby problem area putting the muscle on The Bear, Ralph, Shipley and Roscoe but he soon transpired to be a lover, not a fighter. This was confirmed during his first week living here, when he purred at a bee. He was, however, a little <i>too much</i> of a lover, his sex drive and his lust for Roscoe not diminishing, even post-castration (hence her escapes to the pub). Out of fairness to Roscoe, he now lives at my mum and dad's house in Nottinghamshire, is getting increasingly round, and experimenting with various new sounds - one of which, my mum tells me, is "like a quiet cockerel".</span><br />
