Continuing in yesterday’s light-hearted theme, today our attention turns to Dinky.

Dinky was a Bengal cat who was dumped in the fields and found his way to the feeding bowls in the drive. Despite The Cat’s initial antagonism, he became a member of the Garden Family and became best friends with Lightning, a lone kitten.

Dinky knew he was a ‘special’ cat and was always happy to pose for photos; had he been human, he would probably have been very vain.

But occasionally, there were photos which were less than flattering, photos that the human version of Dinky would have deleted from his phone.

So, from the photo album of Dinky, here are six photos which Dinky would have preferred that no-one saw.

We’ll start with washing. Washing is an important business, but how did you get your hips that far apart without dislocating something, Dinky?

Sorry, did we wake you?

But I’m only biting you a bit, human…

No, of course I would never share that photo of you with a little bit of food just under your bottom lip, Dinky. Honestly, I wouldn’t…

I don’t think the argument ‘that’s definitely not me, I would never do that’ holds, Dinky…

It’s what time? Really?? I must have dropped off for a moment.

Dinky was loud. He was insistent, high-maintenance, demanding, and very vocal. Anyone hearing his ‘happy noises’ when he was being stroked might well have thought we were murdering him. In short, Dinky was one of the most entertaining cats we met.
