FELINE FRIDAYS #3: Poor little Doris.

By -



It's Friday so that means one thing...another FELINE FRIDAY post! Today's post is a follow on from last weeks, where I was discussing the odd behaviour of the cats and whether this meant that they were on heat. 

Well. My mum went to the vets to discuss the behaviour of our little fur babies with some professionals and it turns out that yes, they are on heat- or Doris is, at least! Over the last week since then it's been very on and off. Elsie hasn't been too affected by it, and we're just waiting for the day when she suddenly starts craving...well. Boys! Doris however...




Well, she's nuts! She won't stop wriggling around on her belly, writhing on the floor like a snake. She likes to rub her head on things too, particularly bags and shoes. She lingers by windows and back doors, clearly desperate to go outside and yet we can't let her because she hasn't been spayed yet- but when we take her out on her lead, she freaks and wants to go back inside!

She has stopped being so vocal. The mewing and yowling has died down, which we're all thankful for because none of us appreciated it at three in the morning! 

It's quite upsetting seeing Doris struggle with the emotions she's clearly going through, bless her, and I'm not looking forward to Elsie joining in with it all! 



Do you have any tips on dealing with kittens on heat? Our babies are just under a year old, we don't like to see them 'suffering'! Let me know in the comments below! 

Love from,
Florence Grace

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
