Bonus Diary Entries features extra adventures from Weasley’s world that don’t appear in The Woes of Weasley: The Diary of an Orange Cat. These standalone stories follow Weasley, Ron, Squeak, Serafina and the rest of the Diamond Harbour feline community as they continue navigating local drama, global absurdities, and the occasional completely avoidable catastrophe. Think of them as additional diary pages—more gossip, more chaos, and more cat politics from the harbour.
Wednesday 10th September 2026 Serafina arrived at the Mindfulness Meeting this evening carrying a newspaper and wearing a look of smug satisfaction. “What did I tell you?” she announced. Sensing that this wasn’t a question, I looked at the newspaper and saw a picture of Chris Hipkins alongside another picture of a cat being held … Continue reading Just Getting Warmed Up

Tuesday 9th December 2025 I have been reading the Diamond Harbour Facebook page again. This is something I try not to do too often, as it can lead to unnecessary anxiety amongst the cat fraternity. However, it’s hard not to notice a pattern. “Our cat hasn’t come home since we moved.” “She keeps going back … Continue reading CSI Diamond Harbour
(Under Weasley’s Deck, Wednesday 02 July 2025, 5:35pm) After a rather long hiatus (due in part to climate changes and my own internal “issues”), I am pleased to report that the Mindful Meetings have resumed. The first was held last Wednesday night underneath the deck at my house. I swept up the leaves with my … Continue reading Minutes from the Mindfulness Meeting
I’ve been doing some reflecting lately — between meditative naps on the windowsill and my ongoing feud with the neighbour’s compost bin lid. And I’ve come to a difficult but important decision – it’s time to bring back the Mindfulness Meetings. Why now? Because things have been rough in the feline realm.
