Millie



We had our cat Millie from Fran last January, from the moment we saw Millie, we knew she was the right one for us. As you can see now Millie has settled in just fine.
She was quiet to start with with but has turned out to be a very loving and affectionate and very spoilt cat.
But sometimes she can be very naughty!!
Zoe


Just an update really to let you know how Zoe is getting on :) its been a few months since we had her now,and she is fitting in perfectly! She is such a lovely cat, we have no idea how we coped without her. We've changed her name to nettles, because she always sits by the nettle bush in our garden!
She is still very vocal ^^, not as frequent now though since she has calmed down. We always get a very loud miaow when we call her, and we are more than informed when it's time to be fed lol!
She is fitting in around the neighbourhood as well, and has made a good few feline friends! She now loves lots of cuddles and is very affectionate.
Just wanted to thank you and all the people at the cats protection league for helping us find our
perfect little kitty :). She is now a full member of the Ratcliffe family, and we hope she will be for some time to come.
I have attached a few pics for you guys to look at :)
lots of love
Leah,Jan and Anya Ratcliffe :)
Poppy
Now?? Now I can hardly walk around without someone running in front of me and rolling on her back to get her belly tickled!! She loves her garden and even though she doesn't go very far will sit out for hours on end. She has also developed a rather charming habit of waking me on weekends (not happy that her food is not being delivered on time) and tapping whatever bodypart is not hidden by the duvet, secretly I love it really.
She is even becoming more and more confident with visitors, and can be tempted to come to them if given a little treat, although I think she will always be my little baby and never be totally trusting of people in general. I'm ever so glad I came across Poppy that day and i'm pretty sure she is too.
If someone has adopted a very shy cat all I can say is give it time. Many a time I wondered if Poppy would every settle as she was such a scared little thing, with patience and letting things progress at her pace she is now a very happy purry cat.
Best wishes

Rozy Bear
Well I`ve been with my new humans for 10 months now doesn`t time fly! Life is still very much the same, wake my Mam human at 7am to have brekkie then staight out to survey my territory to see if anything has changed during the night, my Mam won`t let me out at night as there are foxes around whatever they are, I myself find the big black cat that comes around scary enough he seems to think he owns everything, one of these days I will put him in his place and see how he likes it.
I have been away in the caravan again, I find it very relaxing, watching the birds and rabbits I don`t think much about those other four footed pets they come in all shapes and sizes, too fat, too thin, too big, too small, there was one which did give me a bit of a fright I think my Mam said he was an Alsation, I wouldn`t like to meet him on a dark night. When we go in the cararvan now I have started to go outside still on my harness in case I make a run for it but it is nice to have some fresh air.
Well that`s it for now I have also added some photos for you to have a look at.
Meow for now, love Rozy bear.

Misha and Sasha





Hi JudyI have been looking at the Swansea website and thought you would like to see some pictures of Misa (Misha) and Sasa (Sasha) who I took from Swansea CP 4 years in July. They were then called Ben and Honey.
Misa is the big black and white and Sasa the calico tortie. Misa is a huge handsome boy who is still scared of people except me and Sasa sadly still will not allow herself to be touched although she loves her creature comforts and occasionally will eat out of my hand.
Both are gorgeous and walk down the garden holding paws and are great friends even though they had never met before coming here.
I work on one of the UKs biggest cat forums, Purrs in our Hearts, a sister site to Cat Chat and each year we have a Cat Show. Last year Misa was voted third which made me very proud and this years show will be starting shortly and will be all LOLcats, so should be lots of fun.
If you wanna check us out we are at purrsinourhearts.co.uk and you can view us without joining.

Holly and Jinx




Holly & Jinx have been with us now about 3months and have settled down really well.
Jinx is quite adventurous and likes going out in the garden to play. He is fascinated by water, having gone in the bath twice and the pond once – he likes nothing more than sitting on the side of the bath when someone is in it!!!
Holly is a little more reserved, not too bothered about going out but I think that is more to do with the fact that she thinks she will miss out on some food – for a little cat she eats like a horse and forever wanting more and pinching her brother’s food.
They are both very affectionate and loving cats and enjoy a cuddle, but at times they do chase each other round the house and fight – when that happens; it sounds like a herd of elephants when they run up and down the stairs.

Annabell and Ali
relaxing.She says "A favourite game of theirs is chasing the rabbits, there is no malice in their actions, in fact when the rabbits stop running so do they!
Both girls have beuatiful sleek, shiny coats and look fantastic. Annabell has taken to sleeping on Matthew's bed, they snuggle up together most afternoons.
Ali is an amazing character and will jump straight on my lap if I put on my 'cat voice'. She is very funny first thing in the morning, when I wish her a good morning she gets so excited she doesn't know what to do with herself.
We love them both dearly. Thank you for giving us the girls".

Luke


'Luke has settled in really well, he's growing in confidence every day and is a wonderful little lad. He's very affectionate and loves his cuddles. He's probably filled out a bit since you last saw him, he certainly loves his food!! But he also loves to play and has started to venture outside for 10 - 15 minuted in the morning. It's amazing having him in the family, we all adore him, the children Amy, Megan and Hywel have been showing photo's of him to their friends, I think he has a fan club already! We'll keep in touch x'

Basil and Millie
"Just thought you might be interested in seeing these photos of our “little angels”.
They are both about 3kg now, and are still not allowed out, until they have been neutered at least.
But I think they are ready to go out now, as they have both collided with the patio doors in attempting to catch a bird - painful!!"

Ros and Teddy
One of our staunch supporters, Ros who lives in Jersey decided to visit sunny (!) Swansea on August Bank Holiday weekend. Despite the weather she braved the mud at Margam Park but needed to buy a scarf from our stall to keep warm! She was given a mini tour of Gower (in the rain) by 2 committee members for which she was grateful, as her hire car had broken down!She is pictured here with Teddy our lovely, big, diabetic tabby cat.
Maisie and Tinky


Hi Judy
Just thought I would send you a couple of updated photos of the girls! They are both great and love each other to bits! We are going on holiday later this month and I am trying a cattery called Abertawe Five Star Hotel for Cats near Clydach. It looks really nice - I'll let you know. Even if it was fantastic they will both hate being there! They love their garden at home too much! Hope all is well with you.

The Holy Trinity
I thought you might like to see a few photos of the “Holy Trinity” as they have been called.
They really are wonderful. Had a full check up and are okay – Sox’s heart murmur doesn’t appear to be holding her back!
We think there is a bit of Burmese in Saffron as he does look so different from the other two. What do you think?
Regards
Paul & Helen.
P.S. Yes, it is a piano that Spiro and Saffron are in!

Stella and Rob sent these photos of Kitty and Rainbow who are now called Smoky and Bluebell. They are settling in to their new home very well but are not quite sure what to make of Dolly, their collie dog, but are not afraid of her.

Milly



I just thought you would like to know how Milly is settling in with us. We adopted her from yourselves at the end of December, and after a shy couple of weeks she began to grow in confidence. Milly has become very playful and curious, and it seems that every day she finds a new place in the house or garden to sleep. As the girls at the kennels mentioned she really does love her food! She's a very friendly cat and our friends and family love and adore her just as much as we do, she's become a bit of a star!

Missy and 'Arold
.
Just to let you know how Missy is getting along. First day..... well......... she led us a merry dance alright. We thought she had somehow got out and ran away. I knew there was no way she could have got out but as we couldn't find her anywhere in the house, that is what MUST have happened. I e-mailed Rose, l wrote posters out and put them in the stores, and l printed flyers and placed them all around the estate and beyond. Finally getting home extremely late at night and then going to bed exhausted and very upset. THEN.... l got up at 3 a.m. and there in front of me was Missy. Looking as if nothing had happened, well, she wouldn't know it had anyway. She MUST have been in the bedroom as we close the door at night to let 'Arold have the run of the house to catch mice...... thats the idea anyway. We literally looked everywhere in the bedroom apart from under the bed. There was no way she could get under there, we thought, as it is only a gap of about 2 inches. But, there, she must have been.Missy and 'Arold are still hissing at each other but are sharing a room together so that is a great improvement. I don't think they will ever be big buddies but they are getting more social and we absolutley love her to bits.She is eating twice a day and a lot. At the kennels they said she only liked dry food but she is eating both at the moment. She loves the scratch post and playing with us and her toys. She has a special place in the dining room that she loves so we keep her in there at night as she obviously feels 'safe' in there. She likes to hide a lot which we are only now getting used to and l am getting to know the hiding places. So she is easy to find now..... and we don't panic !!! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to adopt her. Lots of love from Missy to you. Cassie and Clive Bell

Cariad

. At first it was thought they were feral but it soon became apparent that they were anything but. Cariad has chronic breathing problems due to the poor start he had in life but as you can see he is really happy in his new home where he is loved to bits and has turned into a really handsome chap.Sunday, March 09, 2008
Wisky
Wisky in his new home with his new pal Bonny the Scottie Dog
As promised, although late Wisky and my pup Bonny, he really is a loving cat, suprising though as he was hard to get hold of if you remember. I do hope you found homes for the others and that they are loved as much as my Wisky is.
thanks Judy,
from Wendy.

Pippa (Formally Prudence)
Just to let you know how Pippa is settling in. We will have had her for four weeks on Monday next 10th March.She appears to be fine, eating and drinking well and although nervous at times, is very affectionate.
She hasn't been outside yet and we thought we might perhaps wait another week or two and then on a warm day, introduce her to the garden, when we can all be out there.
I have attached a couple of photographs for you.
Will keep you informed,
Best Wishes, Reg.

Jasmine and Hercules


Jasmine is very confident and so intelligent, nothing slips her attention. She loves playing with her toy mouse, nothing gives her more pleasure then to disembowel it with her back legs! From the picture you can see our bed is also one of her favourite spots.
Hercules is such a big love. You can see his frustration sometimes as he comes over and curls up on your chest but his imagination means he gets spooked really easily and proceeds to gallop away at 100mph....15 seconds later he is back to try again. However, we have made so much progress with him and he is now even coming downstairs and sitting on Des’s lap.
We just wanted to let you know how they were getting on and say thank you so much for caring and doing the work that you do

Leo (now Busta)



He really is a beautiful cat, I just love him, after a few hisses and growls in the begining from Busta, he now accepts and actually kissed the dog, he is not afraid of anything !! In fact the dog is not quite sure what to make of him.
As you can see in the photos he has taken to sleeping in the strangest places, as he is so big we all walk around him when he sleeps on the floor, and he turns a few heads as he likes to sleep on the window sills.

Aslan & Diva


Diva is a little monkey! I now know where the phrase 'naughty tortie' comes from! She's full of naughty fun and mischief! She's wonderful!
At 11.30 I give the kittens their last meal and then call them upstairs where we all jump into bed. Aslan obviously likes this routine because if I am later than this he sits and stares at me as if he's saying 'It's bedtime! What are you doing sitting there for?' One night I was really late and he was already in the bed when I got there! To top it off I now don't need my alarm at 7am as Diva wakes me up at this time every morning by shouting at me and giving me kitty kisses until I get up! Much nicer than the alarm!
Hope all is well there. Here's some pics.
Diva living up to her name.She did this every time I got the camera out! What a poser !!

Tigger


Other than that he's doing great. He's really good with his litter tray...and so far this morning he hasn't needed to pull his water bowl around the kitchen and slop water everywhere.
So here he is...in all his posing beauty. Someone said last night that he looks just like Puss in Boots in Shrek 2....and I think she's absolutely right.

Mog and Charlie


Mog and Charlie are settling in well here and we really love them. They are so affectionate and gentle. Mog, who is still sometimes nervy, is particularly loving and grabs my lap whenever he can. He is a beautiful animal and a perfect parent and he gives way to Charlie on everything - lets him take his food, the best bed and my lap if we wants it. We feel we are really lucky to have them.
Cheeky Charlie

Thanks again for my gorgeous little boy. The first 2 photos were taken around the time when I first brought him home and the last one with him cwtched in his little bed was taken yesterday so you can see how much he has grown and how dark his coat is getting. He is very healthy with sharp claws and teeth, which I experience at play time!! I have registered him with the local vets, where I will be taking him next month for his operation.
I will keep in touch with his progress.

Libby
I thought I would drop you a line to let you know that Libby is doing really well, she’s been with us for 6 months now. I can’t think how she managed living in the Liberty stadium for so long as she won’t go out if it’s raining! She is a real character and rushes down from ‘her’ bedroom to say hello when I come in from work. She follows us around the house and is more like a dog than a cat in many ways. Other than bringing a couple of birds in then shaking them until nearly all their feathers fell out then losing interest and leaving me to catch them she’s perfect! We often think how lucky we were to get to your homing day early enough to adopt her.Thanks

Aslan and Diva
30th Dec update-Aslan is coming on in leaps and bounds. He now spends all night cuddled up in bed with me and loves being petted as long as you're sitting down. Standing people are tall and scary apparently! I've also been able to handle pick him up and handle him by taking him by the scruff like his mum would have. He seems to have taken to me far more since I've been handling him like this and will let me brush him with his soft bristle brush. He likes that quite a lot. Because I can now handle him I leave the bedroom door open in the day for him to wander. So far he's only brave enough to come downstairs when the children are in bed but he is getting braver.
Diva has been helping him out again. She spent all day yesterday sitting halfway down the stairs trying to tempt him down. She's very patient with him although looks a bit fed up that he's so nervous sometimes! She finally led him all the way down the stairs when it was quieter in the evening and appeared to be giving him a guided tour of the living room! She's such a clever little cat!
Pictures from Dawn who adopted Aslan, a beautiful long haired, ginger male who is semi-feral. With patient handling Dawn is bringing him round slowly but surely.

Daisy
I have just seen your latest “October” Newsletter and I thought I should drop you a line and tell you how I am since you gave me to my new “Mum”. I am very happy and not so frightened now. After leaving the Kennels I was very nervous and wouldn’t let anyone pick me up. But now I know that “Mum” loves me and would never hurt me so now I don’t mind being picked up and cuddled by her. I even let “Mum” stroke and rub my paws!!! I am very happy and all our visitors say what a lovely silky shiny coat I have. I have also put on a little bit of weight, but not too much. Sometimes I am fussy about eating my food and “Mum” makes me finish before she gives me anything else, which makes me cross, but at least I am not getting poggie.
I hope all your other cats are lucky and find nice safe warm loving homes. I think I am lucky, though “Mum” thinks she is the luckiest one.
Hope you all have a good Christmas.
With lots of purrs From Daisy
ps I was called Angie and have a beauty spot like that film star Margaret Lockwood – not that I am vain – my picture was in the last Newsletter

Indiana Jones
I have been adventuring in my new home now for 18 months, I love to explore my garden, but I also love to snuggle on a lap.
I live up to my name, I am very independent and adventurous with a bit of a ruthless streak- the locals have the scars to prove it-
but they worship me all the same.
PS I still like to wrap myself around a neck like a scarf, even the Vet thought that was cute when I did it to her!
Yogi



Well as you can see Yogi has settled in really well its like he has always been part of our family, he is not nervous of any of us. He sure likes to play like hanging from my curtains, dancing over my dinning table and hanging from my legs when he wants a nible,and when he is tired he comes on my lap, stretches out purres like hell and goes to sleep for hours just like a proper cat. I LOVE HIM TO BITS!!!!!!!!
Please could you thank Judy for me for all of her help and also many, many thanks to you and Bob for letting me adopt this wonderful pussy YOGI.

Daisy
I have at last learnt how to send photos by email,so thought I'd let you know how Daisy is getting on. Celia approached me in May last year to take in this sad, depressed little cat. She was thought to be 9 years old, but my Vet thinks she is nearer 14, which I think is probably nearer the mark.
She took a long, long time to settle in. When she eventually came to sit on my lap, I had a good cry, because it was the result of a great deal of patience. Now, I never get to sit down alone-she's there like a shot!
However, she still won't trust anyone else and is particularly nervous of anyone standing up. I think someone has kicked her at sometime. I wish I could make her understand that that will never happen again.
She loves her food and is acquiring rather expensive tastes! I love to spoil her though, because she has probably had a bad time in her life, so I want only the best for her now.
She is not sociable with my other cat, Barney, but they are not aggressive to each other. One of my cats died a few weeks ago and Daisy lay alongside her during the nights when she was ill. Daisy was not at all demanding of me in the last week of Belle's life. It was as though she realised that I had other priorities.
She has become very precious to me. She is arthritic, so can be cranky, but we understand each other. I am glad to have her with me and, you know, I think she is glad to be here.

Bilbo & Baggins (AKA Felix Twins)
As we picked them up on Bastille Day we thought that they would have French influenced names but as life seems to be one big adventure for them we have decided to call them Bilbo and Baggins, Baggins being the almond eyed (slightly cross eyed) kitten.
They are such fun and great company
We hope that you enjoy the photos

Liberty

Just a quick note to say how well Liberty has settled in to her new home – we call her Libby. When she arrived she walked about sniffing and purring for about an hour then settled down on my lap for the next 5 hours!
She seems really happy and content and sleeps at the bottom of our bed. She went out on Monday night and disappeared for an hour and we had to entice her back with some food. She has ignored all her toys, she prefers just to sit on your lap and be stroked. Having said that, she does like to chase some cotton thread around the living room!
She’s been really good with the litter tray, we’re having less success with the scratching post but she doesn’t leave a mark so I think I’ll let her carry on. She’s going to Gower Vets to be chipped tomorrow so we can let her out without worrying so much!
I’ve attached a photo of her on my lap, she is such a lovely cat – we can’t believe our luck. I took it on my mobile so it’s not as clear as it could be. I’ll send more when we have them.
Thanks for all your help and advice

Chip



I've have sent some more pics of Chip for you to see him doing yoga,sitting on the paper, on top of the wall cupboard, and watching TV. Chip has strange eyes in a certain light and they seem to glow. On one occasion he was hiding behind a table and his eyes were glowing (light reflecting off) when he suddenly jumped up at me as I bent down to look at him. Frightened the hell out of me! Latest antics are hunting (and eating) insects around the house, running around at top speed for 30minutes as if someone is chasing him (before going to the litter tray),tearing more of my net curtains, climbing curtains and coats, breaking 2 litter trays by jumping on them, breaking my flip-top bin, deliberately throwing things off the table, carrying things around (especially myDad-in-law's underpants about 3 times every day), chewing my artificial flowers, jumping in the sink with the potatoes and carrots, sleeping onthe microwave, jumping on the newspaper whenever my husband starts to read it (he hasn't finished one for weeks!).

They have settled in very well and love their new house, they get on very well with all the other animals and our children, Eddie spends most of his time on Lee's lap and sleeps on the bed with him at night, Steve loves the outside but when he is indoors loves a fuss from the whole family.
Steve also loves to give us presents and the shrew population is falling in Ystradgynlais fast !!

Mr Tibbs
He has settled in very well. If anyone is worried about taking an older cat they shouldn't be. All ours have been older and they have all settled in seamlessly. They soon get into your routine and within days it is like they have always been here.
Mr Tibbs came from a very bad situation and we cossetted him a bit separating him for a while and giving him his own en-suite room! This enabled the others to get to know him very slowly. They were ignoring each other within hours of his door being left open!
We are so glad we had him. I think you will agree he looks much better now.
I have also enclosed apicture of Hettie who is looking WELL too! She is on a perpetual diet but I think she must have trouble with her glands!!! (Isn't that what you say when you never lose weight?) She continues on her antibiotics and goes out much less than the others. She is very happy though and content with her own little way of life. She has a bed that is heated all day and she venture out a little if the mood takes her.

Verity
Pam sent these photos of Verity and says"It took Verity a full 60 minutes to settle in. During that time she ate a light lunch, had a quick drink, located the litter tray and used it, sniffed every corner of the room, tried to climb up inside the grandfather clock, leapt onto the windowsill to survey the view and finally settled next to me on the sofa to read the newspaper."
We think Verity has well and truly landed on her paws with a lovely view of the beach and sea.
Lots of interesting things to watch there!

Willow and Pip
Willow and Pip are 2 of Liz's 3 CP cats. Bruno is the 3rd.Liz says "Here are Willow and Pip settling down for an evening watching TV by the fire. Willow is still settling in to the household she hisses at everyone and refuses to go outside. Bruno loves her and is never far away.
They enjoy un-decorating the tree and playing tennis with the baubles!"

Daisy & Duke

We adopted two kittens from you two weeks ago, and have named them Daisy and Duke. Both are settling in well. At first they were very nervous and would not come near us, however after two weeks they both love being stroked and purr very loudly! They also both love laying across my lap and sleeping. They are also getting quite cheeky and are certainly finding their confidence. They still get very nervous especially when they meet new people, but I am sure as the weeks pass their confidence will continue to grow.We love having them around the house and look forward to coming home to see their cute little faces.

Many thanks to Cats Protection,
Lisa and Graeme

Moggie's fundraising day
Jack


Jack was adopted by Emma about 18 months ago. Emma says "Jack has gone from being a timid, quiet cat into a fun-loving, highly vocal member of the family that I can't imagine being without".
Emma is hoping to fundraise for us at Christmas if her musical quartet is allowed to play in the Quadrant in Swansea.

Spikey


Spikey was taken on by Lara and Tim as a very scared, feral kitten. They persevered and now he is a loving, playful, friendly kitten.
Lara says "He has turned into a soppy little kitten and expects maximum attention at all times, he doesn't stop purring. I think it's safe to say we are totally besotted with him!"

Thank You
6 years ago we adopted a cat from one of your branches and was very, very timid since then she has grown into a cheeky little sweetheart. I just want to say thanks for saving her from her horrible past and for all you do.

Pickle


Pickle was adopted by Katy earlier on this year. Katy says "just wanted to let you know we are having a lovely life with Pickle, she is part of the family and has settled in extremely well. She is so affectionate and loves to play. She is incredibly vocal but at least that means we know when she's at home!"

Sparkey



Sparkey is a new resident at Ros's home in Jersey. Ros took him on when a workmate was moving to a flat and couldn't take Sparkey with her. Sparkey is 10 years old but keeps his age well and is a kitten at heart.
Ros is a fan of Sooty from Swansea who recently had an expensive operation on his bladder. Ros is one of the many people who have contributed to the Sooty fund which enabled us to pay the bill at the School of Veterinary Science at Bristol.
Thanks to Ros and others Sooty can now lead a normal life.
Tina

Tina (formerly Treacle) was adopted by Molly Grimes as a rather skinny older kitten last year.
She has now filled out and become a beautiful cat. She is very affectionate, but also quite naughty and has been known to climb the curtains and sit on the curtain rail in order to have a 'cat's eye' view of everything that's going on!

Sebastian
A RAGS TO RICHES STORYSebastian was picked up by Dodie as an abandoned, flea-ridden kitten in a bad area of Swansea in 2004, she then fostered him for the Branch. However in 2005 Dodie decided to go back to Hong Kong but could not bear to leave Sebastian behind, even though it meant rushing to get all his vaccinations up to date and the cost of flying him to Hong Kong was not cheap!
He now lives there happily with Dodie in a big house next to her place of work so she can nip home and see him when ever possible.
He weighs 15 pounds, but the vet says that's all lean meat, no fat. He is not overfed.
We think there must be some 'Maine Coon' or 'Norwegian Forest Cat' pedigree in there somewhere!

Tanis

'We adopted our lovely white kitten on april 20th, we named her Tanis and she quickly became part of the family. Our black cat Neiko has great fun playing with her and she loves to torment him by running into places he cant fit! Our vet pronounced her fit and healthy and her injections are complete - we are now waiting to have her spayed untill then she has the run of the house and the many nooks and crannies to explore. Tanis loves to be next to us and has become quite a lap cat in the past couple of weeks, I love it when she climbs on my lap and snuggles around my neck to sleep, bedtimes are spent on her very own soft pillow in my daughters room and she sometimes gets herself under the cover too. she has taken to sitting on the windowsill during the day, next to Neiko and they look so funny one large black cat and a small white kitten side by side. as you can tell we are smitten and she's a much loved and pampered kitten, please pass on our thanks and good wishes to Liz and Judy without whom we wouldn't have our loveable little tike"
Many thanks to you all

Snowy & Candy



Update on Candy and Snowy
"We are so happy in our new home, our favourite thing to do is chase our toy mice across the floor,stretching as much as we can.
That's me, Candy in the top photo on my own (looking gorgeous, I must say). Mum, Snowy in the photo on left is sleeping unawares I am about to pounce! I have learnt a lot from my Mum about people; they only want to stroke, be nice, and play with me. As you can see from the photo on the right Mum's favourite toy is the pink mouse.
Thank you Cats Protection for looking after us so well for a long time and finding us this loving new home".

Katherine's CP cats



Alfie (formerly Albert) that's me bottom left, relaxing in my new home. My skin is healing nicely and I think I like it here! On the right is Jeffrey (formerly Bruno) who is probably a little older than me, although he's not admitting it. Jeffrey, I respect and admire in contrast to those 2 mad youngsters Archie and Alice, (see top photo) although I must say they do look deceivingly demure in this photo.

Milly & Monty (Munchkin & Pushkin)

We just wanted to let you know that we have settled into our new home very quickly and are enjoying causing mischief on a daily basis!! We still like to wrestle but have added the following activities to our list of pastimes:
Milly's favourites:
1) Sitting in bathroom sink to catch drips of water from tap
2) Helping add to computer work by walking across keyboard
Monty favourites:
1) Stealing washing-up sponge; making off with sponge across house leaving a wet trail and finally killing sponge by ripping it to shreds
2) Dunking my paw in coal bucket and leaving dusty trails across sitting-room floor
3) Shredding paperwork with teeth, the more important the better!
The food is good but we are not so keen on duck or rabbit flavour; however, the roast beef we stole from the kitchen while our parents backs were turned was particularly tasty!
Once we have finally exhausted our new parents we like to curl up on their laps, or infront of the fire for a catnap.

Caroline's cats

Caroline and Sam adopted Polly and Hettie from us last year. They have also recently adopted Sooty who you may recognise as one of our long stay cats - she certainly seems to have landed on her paws !!"Just thought I would send you some photos of Polly and Hettie. I don't know
if you heard but we adopted 'Sooty' a few weeks ago, she is now called Suki.
She seems to have settled down reasonably well. Hettie seems to
have taken a real shine to her. Look at the photo of the three of them on the
small settee."
