Hello Mitsi and would you like to come to our auction?

We are fostering Mitsi, who is a Birman and who likes shoulders.  Mitsi arrived today from Romania and she would like you all to know that we have an auction running on facebook to help special needs kitties - and if you can't come yourself, we would be pleased if you would share the news!

Easter Auction to be found here.

How about it - a hand painted cat t-shirt?

Or one of my paintings?

Or Anna's lovely brass cat corkscrew, brass cat paper knife and so on.... come and browse!

RIP Biff

We got in from the dentist to a phone call from lovely Kate at the nearest vet, Ryder Davis, to tell us that a lady had found a cat and his chip said he was our Biff.
We went and collected him, they couldn't have been nicer.  He hadn't a mark on him so whether he was struck by a car, had a heart attack or stroke, or was frightened into a heart attack by a near miss we have no idea.  But Biff is gone, no more loud M'RAAAAK to demand attention.  I still have photos of him with the others to post that I haven't got sorted out...

RIP Pebbles

Pebbles drifted in and out of unconsciousness all night and finally passed away in her daddy's arms.   We have buried her under the bay tree where she was sniffing around on her harness only yesterday. 

Endings and Beginnings

Pebbles bless her is on her last legs, but her eyes still say she wants to live so we haven't carted her to the vet.  We had very extravagant teas of fish 'n' chips several times because all she would eat was battered cod or fishfingers - so fishfingers for lunch - but her appetite is now dwindled again.  She did however get a new lease of life when the new kitty arrived, one-eyed mackerel tabby Dora [originally Holly but she's A-Dora-ble as well as being very much Dora the Explorer] who has no respect for age but Pebbles has enjoyed watching her play - and has let Dora curl up beside her, and even joined Dora on a chair.

My dear kind friend Lucinda sent Pebbles a heated bed for her poor old bones and she has been willing to share it with little Dora, who arrived after travel in awful conditions, she was frozen and ravenous.  Not a cat transport we'll be using again. 

Dora is so friendly she gets on with all the others, though Worrals is not always enamoured - poor Worrals resents any new cat for not being Merlin I think.  Dora and Pixie are special friends and I will be posting pics of them wrestling and playing together. 

The only time Dora is still is when she's asleep which happens suddenly and in the most floppy positions.

Worrals does tolerate a stripy little sister as you can see...
