Be more pheasant

What are your favourite animals?

This is a really easy one for me. (Felis catus)

It’s cats without a shadow of a doubt, they’re the perfect companion for me. They’re not needy and I don’t have to walk them. I’ve nothing against walking, it’s just that everyone wants to stop you and talk if you have a dog. I’m not a social creature.

Cats are hard work emotionally as you have to earn their respect and they go out and walk themselves, sometimes bringing (half eaten) presents to plonk on your bare foot that’s hanging outside the duvet at 0230hrs. Does it show that I’m talking from experience?

They’re adorable…

Exhibit A “Little One”

The only downside side is that when you lose one, it hurts like hell.

Side note.

My Spirit Animals (or honourable mention) are Pheasants. They aren’t the brightest, can’t really fly, but they try to anyway, and look fabulous too.

I think we should all try to embrace our inner Pheasant. So let’s look fabulous and try doing that thing. You know, the one you’ve always been putting off.

If it doesn’t work you’re still fabulous!

Stay safe x
