Marley and Me


This is Marley. He used to live in a cat shelter, because one day his owner decided to move house and leave him and several other cats behind. Luckily for Marley, his neighbour had realised this and arranged for local shelters to try and find homes for Marley and his furry friends. This is where me and Marley met. After my last cat died I was looking for a new cat best friend, and believe in rehoming cats from shelters who other people may not love. I met pretty much all of the cats in the shelter, but Marley (who was called Jim at the time) won my heart. He purred at me the minute we met, and I knew I couldn’t leave him there.He seemed like the sort of cat who would love me, and would love cuddles and spend hours sat on my lap.
Then we brought Marley home, and the cat that seemed like a lovely cuddley cat, was in fact, insane.


Sometimes he likes to sleep with blankets..


…other times he’d prefer to sleep like this.


Sometimes he likes to wear accessories.. 


…And he can pretty much always be found sat somewhere he shouldn’t be. 


But most of the time he still manages to look adorable.



He may be a strange little kitty, but he’s certainly one very very happy little rescue cat. To think that one day his previous owner just left him breaks my heart, and sadly there’s loads of cats left in that shelter that don’t have furever homes. Marley is a big part of our family, and I’d hate for anything to ever happen to him, and that’s why we’ve got pet insurance to protect our special cat friend.


Animal welfare charity The RSPCA are working with MORE TH>N Insurance to provide UK pet owners with a range of insurances to suit their needs and budgets. It’s not just cats, they can insure your dogs too! By insuring your dog or puppy with MORE TH>N you not only protect them, but you also help the RSPCA protect less fortunate animals throughout the country, because for each policy sold, £20 will be donated to the RSPCA for the care of unwanted and neglected animals in England and Wales. 


I’m glad Marley got a second chance at having a furever home, I just wish I could adopt all the other cats that need one!

    Hello Lovely’s! I thought I’d share with you yesterdays FOTD and OOTD. Me and a friend decided to go to the cinema to see Bad Teacher (I rate it ‘Meh’, it wasn’t that great), so I took up the chance to wear my new T-shirt and Jewelery I’d got earlier in the week. Also I’m…

  • Summer OOTD

    I’ve never really been one to post outfits of the day type of posts for a few reasons. One, because I’m not really into fashion at all. I’m hopeless at it and I’ve never really been into it like I have with beauty. Two, I have no idea how some fashion bloggers take such amazing…

    One of my youngest memories of my mum was back when we were at our old house, and my mum was getting ready to go out and I was sitting on her bed while she sat at her dressing table putting on her makeup, I must have been about 4 or 5. My mum didn’t wear…

  • Ilcentimetro Bracelet

    I’ve always loved quirky looking jewelry, something that looks a bit different. I’ve never been a traditional jewelry type girl, I’ve always loved huge necklaces and crazy rings. So when I was sent this unusual looking bracelet from Ilcentimetro I was excited to wear it. Ilcentimetro do their bracelets in a range of colours, and I received the ‘Arctic White’ shade, and already…
