Having had a lovely nights sleep in a comfy bed in a home full of my family, I would just like to say my heart and thoughts are with the people of New Zealand who are not having such luck.
The devastating effects of the Earthquake there are appalling.
When I heard about it, I grabbed my mobile to send a text to my cousin, who lives there, to check he was OK and thankfully he was fine.
A lot of lives have been lost and that means families torn apart – the thought of which always comes closer to home for me than the thousands of miles of ocean between us.
Kiwi’s are notoriously strong minded and resilient (they have to be with a rugby team like the All-Blacks to support) and I have no doubt they will recover, but it is no easy road to travel, and I can only guess at how much they are hurting right now.
So I am sending my thoughts to you guys and, to help raise your spirits, I’d also like to send a big ‘we are thinking of you - thumbs up’, from Jimmy the cat.
I hope it helps.

So many have died and many more are still missing. I can't imagine what they're going through. Best wishes to them as they slowly pick up the literal and figurative pieces.
Oh, you are funny. I'm sure Jimmy the Cat is really helping things. How could he not? x
So the kitties of the world have clearly deceived us in the whole lack-of-opposable-thumbs thing. I bet they never pegged Jimmy as the traitor that would give them away...
...and on a note of less levity, likewise saddened by the event and sending blessings. I'd visited there a few years ago and was just gutted to hear of the deaths and see that beautiful church reduced to rubble. Glad to hear you cousin is okay.
What a great kitty!
As for the devastation....how much more can our hearts take?
