Barney and Tilly immediatly made themselves at home, popping out of their baskets and scouting around the front room, suspiciously sniffing anything and everything in their path. On completing their inventory of their immediate surroundings they turned thier attention to the bedroom, approaching with caution and sniffing with determination at the half inch gap under the door which remained firmly closed. Now and again it would get too much for Barney, who prefers the quiet li

It’s been about 10 months since I last saw Rosa and Silver as big kittens, and they are just as exquisite as ever. Much bigger now but with the same delicate faces and fine bone structure, just a little more mature. Silver seems sleeker her beautiful face more defined, the shadows that sculpt her features are darker but all the sweetness is still there. Rosa is much larger than before, her velvety smooth grey coat sprinkled with soft pink, fawn and white splatters. Half a pin

Sunday night and Rameses lay atop me on the sofa clinging to me like a little koala bear.When I tried to detach him he clung tighter and buried his head in my neck licking so hard that I worried he’d break my skin. Holding him tight he feels warm and solid like a needy baby that is attached to my neck by suction. I try to calm him down but before long the nuzzling turns to biting and I am forced to detach. His ears flatten back and I notice his pupils are wide and wild. Launc

Pandora likes to snooze on the cat stand on the left of the balcony while Chicken normally hangs out in the furthest corner on the right. She’ll usually lounge on the bench or curl up in the large potted Jasmine and come in covered in bits of leaves and dirt.Yesterday evening while enjoying a glass of wine with a friend I looked out to the balcony and noticed to my surprise that Chicken was not only sitting on Pandora’s cat tree, she was also sitting right on Pandoras back. I

My two lovely friends arrived at 8am this morning with their owner Alex, and after escaping their baskets, ran around re-aquainting themselves with everything. They have both grown bigger, Pandora being wider in the face and Chicken looking sleeker and firmer and much less chicken like than before. They both paused and stared with interest at the closed bedroom door before continuing their inspection of my flat, curious but too distracted to hang around. After Alex said goodb

When Rosa and Silver, the two, one year old Burmese sisters arrived this morning all I could see were their two little twitching noses, four huge eyes, and the sparkle of their diamante collars. Their humans, Kirstin and Sukyee watched anxiously as they tripped out of their baskets and ran around the front room, excitedly rubbing and sniffing everything in sight. Once Kirsten and Sukyee had finished telling me about Silver and Rosa’s personalities (how they liked to play figh

Ella and Eddie arrived for a days stay at 8am. Ella is a sweet soft shorthaired tortoiseshell, and was initially curious and very eager to get out of her basket.The hauntingly beautiful, long haired ginger and white Eddie stared at me wide eyed and startled, before climbing out of his basket and disappearing behind the armchair with his huge tail sweeping past me. Will gave me a quick catch up on their habits, feeding ( they prefer their water in mugs) and do’s (lot’s of trea

Francesca (the great beauty) awakes reluctantly from her slumber and yawns before hopping elegantly off the armchair that doubles up as her bed. She has only taken a few steps in the direction of the bedroom when she is suddenly overtaken by an urge to stretch, and does so without breaking her stride. Pulling her body into the downward curve of a ski slope she start’s by sticking out her bottom until it is pointing skyward. Her tale floats upwards and flutters gently like a f

Francesca, thankfully is a rather quiet cat. Sleek , beautiful, playful and quiet. I have had quite alot of doubles (pairs of cats) over the last few months and while there are benefits to having two cats together (they take care of eachother, play together, keep eachother company ) they also chase eachother around the flat late at night, fight, gang up on you at dinner time, and are often so similar they are impossible to tell apart. So when trying to track them down you of
