My mum and rest of family were staying at an apartment complex here in Lanzarote for the last 2 weeks and there is this beautiful grey and white tomcat only known as “Mietze” happily and healthily living there (they had met him the year before too and I guess he is looked after by the complex owners – he has the tiniest of snips at the top the ear and is neutered).

He is rather cheeky and just runs in and hops straight up on the bed or sofa and falls asleep, but nobody minded and he got cuddles galore from everybody. 

Here he is, zonked out on the sofa, at my mum´s apartment last week, spending a very lazy Christmas….
