There can be some really funny health & safety rules and regulations and warnings out there, like the classic “please remove child before washing” etc.

I suppose there are some people who need reminding otherwise they wouldn’t bother telling us!

Www.sheilds.org have asked us to share some #WeirdRules that we have come across. As my baby brain is in full swing and I have the memory of a sieve, I’ve asked some of my fellow bloggers to share their funniest health & safety rules they’ve come across. Some are seriously funny!

“I saw a metal slide yesterday covered in warning signs. I thought they were going to say ‘this slide is out of action, do not use’ but no… they said ‘This slide can get hot in sunlight, please check the temperature before sliding’. (2 Boys 1 Mum)

“Packs of nuts that say may contain nuts! That always gets me!” (Www.twoheartsoneroof.com)

“I saw a sign once that said ‘caution, this sign has sharp edges’. Literally nothing else on the sign. I have no idea what it’s purpose was?! (My Family Fever)

“In the Blue Mountains in Australia there is the steepest railway in the world. The health and safety sign ends with ‘hold onto all your belongings including small children as they may get lost’!” (Mrs H’s Favourite Things)

“I really like this one: https://instagram.com/p/1aAQCNQZ1F/ which I think speaks for itself!” (Mummy Is A Gadget Geek)

“This one is everywhere in Sweden. Pretty much – it’s dangerous to transport items in lifts that do not have an interior door. The picture is so grim but makes me laugh too as it’s so obvious!” (A Mum Reviews)

What funny health & safety notices have you come across? I’d love to hear them!

Today is International Cat Day so let’s talk about our fluffy friends. We all know us brits are animal lovers. Cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, we love them all! But why do we love them so much?

Cats have always been my favourite pet. I wrote this post on my life with cats. Currently we have a beautiful ragdoll cat called Luna. She’s a dream cat. Super fluffy, super stunning, super snuggly (when she wants to be).

I love having a cat as a pet because I find them extremely comforting, especially when I’m home alone. I’ve had dogs in the past when I lived at home, and they are great for protection, however there’s something about cats that are much more relaxing to me. Just having them for company makes an lonely evening less lonely.

I also love the crazy positions they sleep in!

To celebrate International Cat Day I’ve asked some of my blogging buddies why the love cats too.

“The poo outside (if they are outdoors) and Bury it themselves, give lush cuddles are fun to be around and less work than a dog” – Monkey-Feet

“Cats don’t need walking or pooper scooping! They will rule the roost though, and always find the most comfortable chair in the house!” – Belle Du Brighton

“I love their different characters and the fact they are more independent than dogs. They are ideal for families and I can’t imagine my house without one. In fact we had 2 months without one when my 19 year old cat died, and it was awful. The house felt so empty until our kitten Brewster arrived. He’s now 4 and is very much loved. They are calming and seem to know when someone needs a cuddle. My son helps with feeding our cat and there are never any arguments about who’s turn it is to ‘walk a cat’ are there!” – Over 40 and a Mum to One

“We have three gorgeous rescue cats. Low maintenance yet incredibly loving and affectionate. All have a different type of character yet get on well and I can waste hours enjoying cuddles and observing them. One will sit on command and the other plays fetch! Giving a loving, secure home to cats who’ve been abandoned is an unrivalled feeling ❤” – Thirty Something Belle

“They are independent but still love a good snuggle! Much easier than a dog, and smell better too 😂🙈” – Emily and Indiana

“They are great company, but independent too. They want you to be around, but you don’t have to let them out to go to the toilet or take them for walks. I’ve just got a new kitten and my baby, nearly 5 year old, partner and I have all fallen in love with her playful ways.” – Counting To Ten

“Mine kills the spiders in the house for me so I don’t have to and she keeps my feet warm in winter by sitting on them 😊” – Clares Little Tots

“I love their individual characters and their independence. Their territorial behaviour towards other felines always amuses me (apart from when it is in the middle of the night and you hear those awful screams!) The calming influence of their rhythmic purring whilst they are snoozing on your lap is so therapeutic! 🙂 ” – Taylor Made Ramblings

“We have a cat and I love that not only is he independent but he is very cuddly too. All cats have different personalities and some more affectionate and needy then others but majority of cats are very independent which is nice as you don’t have to worry about them too much.” – Just Motherhood

“I have two bonkers rescue cats, one who is obsessed with pinching pants and socks! I wouldn’t be without their furry faces even when they try and race me on the stairs! Their unique personalities, aloofness and intuitive behaviour all make cats my favourite animal. When I need a hug they’re always there too. ” – Hip2Trek

The RSPCA have shared this infographic on cat care with me to share with you, and as it’s International Cat Day I thought today was the perfect day to do it!
