Hi Pauline,
Just thought I would send a photo of Monty whom I took home from you on 14th February and let you know how he's doing...
This little fella is just great and has become very gentle and extremly playful. Not as feisty and aggressive as when we first met! ( He was probably very scared and was being very defensive!)
He is now into everything and follows me around the house everywhere and loves talking. He claims all the best places to seat, sleep or hide.
He seems very happy and loves his food.
Regards,
Claire



Hello Pauline,
 
I thought it long overdue that I sent you a few photos of Kai, whom we adopted late last summer. He settled in pretty quickly after a to be expected nervous start. He's very vocal which is one of the things I love about the breed and he's taken recently to climbing up and sitting on my shoulder like the proverbial pirate's parrot!! He's been a joy and a very welcome addition for myself and my daughter.Thanks for all your hard work.
All the best Pauline,
 
From Michael and Alexandra in Lincoln.




Hi Pauline,
Just thought we'd email you to let you know how the little Oriental Blue is getting on.
He's called Dante now, and as you can see from the photos attached he seems to be settling in
fine and is enjoying himself. He's planted his flag in front of the fire now and that's where you can usually find him, although he is very affectionate and does come for a cuddle every now and then ... but then returns to the fire ... I dont know what he's going to do when the summer comes and the fire isnt on! ... Having said that, he does insist on sleeping in the bed with us.

Best wishes,
Andrew and Tasmin



 Jasmine
Dear Pauline
  Thank you very much for spending so much time with us yesterday and for all your advice which is greatly appreciated.  
  We all got home safely yesterday - the cat (currently called Jasmine but that might change!) was fine in the car and very interested in what was going on. We had prepared the kitchen for her as it's the warmest room in the house and she seemed very happy in her carrier for the first hour or so. We let her out and she was extremely interested in her new surroundings - quickly coming out and exploring the room. As she became more confident she became very vocal with quite a raucous and loud yowl and was happy to be gently handled and she even purred for Denise.
  She stayed in the kitchen overnight and this morning we were pleased to see that she had eaten some food and used her litter tray a couple of times. She wasn't in her bed but had found a lovely warm place at the side of the water heater on the 'cat shelf' and has spent all of today exploring and showing interest in her surroundings.
 She likes to hide in the cat tunnel and pop her head up out of the holes like a meercat! otherwise all you can see is one or both eyes loooking out.
  You had obviously done a fantastic job with her over the last couple of weeks and she is already quite a character and much more confident than we expected. We hope you have as much success with her sister and hope also that you successfully rehomed the Oriental blue boy yesterday.
 Kind regards
 Nigel and Denise
 


 
Simba and Stuki
Thought I would send you some pics of Simba.
He has settled in brilliant and now sleeps with Stuki.

Mika

Crusher

Ginger
  We've had Mika nearly two years now & after lots of attempts have managed a half decent picture of her sat with my Mum.
She settled in really well, her & Crusher have become inseperable, sleeping, playing & eating together. Mika loves cat biscuits & sings on top note when her bowl is empty. She loves my Mum & her scarfs, snuggling her head into the scarfs with my Mum, in fact the red scarf in the picture has now been claimed as her own, along with my Dads woollen jumper!
Its just a shame that her & Ginger dont get on (he's another rescue cat & lived with someone old & when they died he ended up in rescue) He's used to being on his own & is quite happy sat on the sofa wrapped in the woollen blanket that Phil's Mum knitted for him.
  We always check your site & seeing that the rescue could go into crisis really upset us both, so we've been having a sort out & selling some items on ebay & I'm making some homemade cards to sell, so that we can send the rescue a donation!
 
Thanks again Pauline for letting us adopt Mika.
 
Love Mark, Phil, Ginger, Crusher & Mika


Ola and Oscar

Hi Pauline
Happy New Year to you too!  Ola has settled in fabulously, I have a couple of pics attached, but plan to take a much better one for your website, when I can get her to sit still for more than a few mins. She is so full of energy, its great to see her tearing around, her and Oscar play so well together. 
I will send you a better email for your site very soon and take some better photos too.
I can't thank you enough for letting me adopt this fabulous little girl, she is very affectionate and also is the boss of Oscar, but I think he rather likes it :)
Hope everything else is good with you?
 
regards
Rachel




Gaston
Hi Pauline,
Thought we would drop you a line to let you know Gaston has settled in very well. We decided to keep his original name so we didn't confuse him. 
Gaston is a lovely cat who does like attention but also likes to do his own thing. He's still got his mice that came with him that he loves, he likes to play fetch. He also likes to sleep at the end of our bed every night, usually on our legs!
We are glad we came to see you and very happy we decided to take Gaston.
 
Thank You
Stacey and Mark





Sushi
Hi Pauline,
We have had Sushi about 3 months now and she has settled in beautifully. We are still amazed by how affectionate she is, and loves attention. Which is ideal as we all adore her. She is truly part of the family.
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and Happy New Year.
Paula Moorcroft and Family


Hi Pauline just a line to let you know how well Monty has settled in. He is so friendly, lively and handsome that I could not have found a more perfect choice even if I had the pick of several litters. He is friendly towards all our visitors and although he has broken an ornament and destroyed some of my flower arrangements it is due to curiosity. I spent a small fortune on toys, cat bed etc. but might as well have saved my money as he prefers to hunt  a pen or pen top and sleep on us! He is lovely.
My husband is doing well at present and he would like to adopt another young Siamese if you get one that would be acceptable to Monty. It would have to be a youngish one as I don`t want territory marking or fights. We are not desperate but if you get a cat/kitten that you think would suit will you let us know.
Best wishes

Hi Pauline,
Just wanted to let you know how Spencer and
Reuben are doing. We have decided to stick
with their original names as they both recognise
them, Reuben is the Chocolate Point and Spencer
is the Lilac Point.
The car journey home was uneventful and they
were both very good in their carriers. There was
no hiding to start with when we got home, as
soon as they got out of the cat carriers they
explored all over the house and then settled
down on our knees for a cuddle. It was like they'd
already been for years, rather than just a few hours!
Spencer is definitely the more boisterous of the two
and can be guaranteed to appear out of nowhere if
he thinks his brother Reuben is getting some
attention and he might be missing out. However
the longer they are here the more Reuben is
coming out of his shell and his own personality is
shining through, rather than him being
overshadowed by his brother.
They are such a pair of softies, and are often found
curled up together fast asleep. In the attached
photo they were settling down to go to sleep
together on the sofa. They also love to sleep on our
bed, and would sleep there with us at night given
half the chance. They are both eating well and have
had no accidents with the litter tray. It's so lovely
they get on so well, and they often have a  "mad 5
minutes" where they seem to play tig chasing each
other round the house.
We have decided for now they will remain as house
cats, but as they have been used to their outside
run we thought they might like to go in the garden
with us so we decided to get them harnesses and
leads. Amazingly it was Reuben who has really
taken to it, and gets very excited at the prospect
of going in the garden. A complete contrast to
Spencer, who would rather run in the opposite
direction and doesn't get much further than sitting
at the back door sniffing the outside world, but
we're hoping with time he will enjoy it like his brother.
We'd like to thank you for giving us the opportunity
to give these 2 lovely cats a home, they have
enriched our lives so much and we're looking forward
to many happy times with them both. We'll keep you
updated with how they both get on.
Thank you
Emma & Mark (and not forgetting Reuben & Spencer too!)



Hello Pauline,
Trying again to send you the picture of
Layla (Black Oriental). Will send you some
others on disc of Layla and Warrior later.
She is lovely and thank you again for
rescuing her...
Bye for now

Dear Pauline
Please find attached some photo's of Charlie, he has settled in well to his new surroundings in Stafford.
Charlie is still a bit timid when I stroke him, but once on my lap he is more than happy to stay there all evening.
He seems to prefer to sleep all day and come to life early evening, when he lets you know he is awake by constantly meowing.
regards
Debbie Neal-Palin




Hi Pauline
 It was lovely to meet you both on Sunday and thank you again for letting me have the 2 cats.
 You were so right about the white oriental growing on me, he's adorable and a really softie - I've renamed him Alfie and he comes when I call him. 
I've not renamed  her yet - I think she needs a special name to reflect her beauty and character
 We had the initial hiding under the sofa, drawers and bed, but little by little they are relaxing into their new environment and seem to be enjoying the run of the house.
 Feeding time is fun, she seems to want to share his food, kissing him so he lets her into the bowl, so at the moment I am supervising to ensure they both get enough food.
 No problems with the litter tray and no accidents.
 They wrap round each other when they sleep, it took time but I have even had them next to me on the sofa for the last 2 nights.  She likes to either lay over him or beside him and washes him from head to toe, she even had his whole ear in her mouth.
 I will drop you a note in a couple of weeks when they have fully settled and write a note for the previous owner.
 A Big Thank you - I am very happy with my choice and intend spoiling them
 Claire

Hi Pauline.
 Just wanted to say that it was lovely to meet you today. You are clearly passionate about what you do and thank goodness there are people that have a heart as big as yours!
 It was an eventful ride home. Truffles got out of his cat carrier half way down the M1 and ended up on my knee until just befrore we got home! He has settled in really well and is now on the sofa with my husband and I watching x-factor. He used the litter tray within 5 minutes of being home and has eaten some tea and had a drink.
 My cat Mitsy has taken the hump a bit and has hissed at him and is staying upstairs (I have NEVER heard her hiss before!?!). I think this is because she is such a spoiled little princess and she will come around soon. I have given her some rescue remedy and that seems to have relaxed her quite a bit.
 We have decided to rename Truffles, his new name is Eric. Don't ask me why, he just seems like an Eric! He is really lovely and my husband is glad to have another man in the house. He makes our little Mitsy look tiny!
 Thank you again, it really was a pleasure to meet you, you are so kind.
 If there are any fundraising events in the future, or if I can do anything at all to help, please let me know.
 Speak soon,
 Jayne x

 
Dear Pauline
Here are some photos of Danko and Mr Blue
(Fudge). They are both very happy and have settled
in well as you can see. Thank you for letting me have
these two lovely cats.
Best wishes with your rescue work.

 Hi Pauline
 
What a transformation!  Initially little Brie  was terrified of everything and spent the first week hiding under cupboards.  However with lots of TLC, rescue remedy and Feliway she has gradually come out of her shell and is now a total cuddle monster. She eats well, is completely clean and is
a wonderfully gentle and loving little soul.  Unfortunately the vet discovered she had very bad gum disease and several holey
teeth which must have been quite painful and she has had to have most of them removed. However she has made a very
quick recovery from the procedure and seems much more interested in the world.  She has just started to explore outside
and yesterday tried her paws at some experimental stalking - though she hasn't yet got the idea that she might need to
conceal herself a bit!  
We are delighted with our new little girl and want to thank you for getting us together and for all your hard work.
 
Kind regards
 
Diane


Hi Pauline,
Sushi is settling in beautifully,
Kind Regards
Paula Moorcroft and family


  Hi Pauline
  Casey and family want to thank you for all the work you have done in bringing us together.  He has been with us for nearly 4 months now and as soon as he was allowed to go out he became a very happy cat.
  He starts the day with cuddles, chats and games and then start his adventures outside.  He is a great wanderer but comes back every so often to check that we still love him.  He has also made a friend with another siamese that lives locally.
  The evenings are spent playing, being cuddled or sleeping on a lap.  He loves the grandchildren when they come to visit and even greets visitors now.  So IT HAS BEEN A GREAT SUCCESS.
 
Thankyou from Casey, Gill and Dave.


  Hi Pauline,
 Just thought I would drop you a line to say how delighted mum is with William and Edward, the two red point Siamese's. They have truly settled in and loving it!! two very spoilt cats!!
 Well anyway I just wanted you to know that they are very happy and very loved!! Thank you and keep up the good work.



Hammy
Hello Pauline, 
Just thought I’d let you know that the newest member of our family i.e. Hamilton or Hammy for short – previously known as Misty - is getting on just fine !
He seems to have settled in really well with much talking going on, in fact he is helping me type this!
Hope you have a great holiday.
Kind regards
Caroline (Parry)



Polly R.I.P.
Hi Pauline
You may remember I took a cinnamon siamese called Pollyanna from you about 4 years ago?
She had been permanently penned by a breeder and was terrified of just about everything. We managed to get her reasonably content over the first year, but when we got a choc point kitten called Leo she was really happy. She had someone of her own to love.
Unfortunately she developed kidney disease before Christmas. We collected them from the cattery after our May holiday and she was sleek and shiny and in good nick , so we did her blood tests again.
The result was off the scale, horrible. We couldn't believe it and neither could the vet.
We took her home and she had 3 lovely summer weeks on her chair in the garden with Leo and was not in pain. On the last day she didn't know me and couldn't drink from her bowl, so we sadly had to let her go.
As they were so close, the vet told me to let Leo see her after death. He sat looking confused for a while, sniffing and licking her. Then he sat by her and waited. After an hour he washed her ears and eyes and paws and curled himself round her body and stayed for an hour, till she became stiff.
 I am telling you all this because he would look for her if she was overnight at the vet, waiting by the door and crying and I was so worried he would search for her.
He hasn't. He knows she is dead, and he is sad at bedtimes or hammock time because she isn't there and he cries sadly sometimes. But I am certain in my own mind that he knew from the first that she had gone for good and wasn't just lost or late home.
So if anyone else wonders what they should do.....this was right for Leo. He's sad but not distraught.
Thanks for letting us have her, she was a sweet soul.
Regards
Christine Cook


Hello Pauline,
  I hope all is well with you.
  We're all fine here.  Seems like ages since I sent you an update, but there's not much to report!  so that's good.  Simba and Millie are absolutely fine, both enjoying being outside in the garden, Simba sleeping and Millie chasing, flies, bugs, butterflies, birds, well anything that moves really.  They have both been to our vet for a check up and passed with flying colours.  The nurses love them!
  I bought them a sheep skin rug for their bed at the 3 Counties Show.  Millie loves it and stretches out luxuriously like some exotic Egyptian Queen, and Simba finds it a bit hot on some days, but as soon as the temperature drops he's in there snuggled up with Millie.
  She is still nervous but gradually getting more and more confident.   I guess she will always be a bit 'jumpy', but she is now coming to us for cuddles, that's a real change and she sometimes curls up on my knee for a cuddle, not for long, but she loves it.  Simba gave me a surprise and jumped up on my lap a few nights ago for a long sleep, just lovely.  You can't beat the feeling and comfort of a cat asleep on your lap, especially 6.25 kgs of cat (he's lost 0.1 of a kg so far!).  so I hope that will become a habit in time.
  So no news is good news Pauline.  They seem really happy and settled, and we love them to bits.  They have been so easy to settle in and great company for us.
  We'll send you another report soon.  Hope you are all well,
  With best wishes
Julia and Richard in Worcester



Mia
Hi Pauline
Dad and I were just saying today that I must get in touch and let you know how things are going.
we've had a few bumpy moments, nervous washing to the extent of fur loss, (Feliway and rescue remedy sorting it) but we're doing well on the whole, for the last week she's even been going outside! and loving it.
She came out from under the bed in 24hrs, but still runs back under the bed if things get scary. but is playing and talking, and even following me around some of the time, especially if I have the string or a piece of grass trailing!
The old ginger tom has had his nose put out, but is slowly coming round, the hissing appears to have stopped now, but as he spends most of his time outside it isn't a problem.
We still have a long way to go to reach her potential but we're getting there, and she is a gorgeous, lovely little girl.
I'm calling her Mia as she seems to answer to it (Mia Angel on insurance documents).
Hope you like the pictures, will keep you  updated.
love Andrea


Monty
Hi Pauline,
  Just thought we’d drop you a line to say how delighted mum is with Monty. It’s very eerie but he has exactly the same characteristics and nature as Ozzy. He is just as cheeky and demanding and has even learnt how to open doors himself.
  She took the plunge on Thursday and let him out for the first time. He was gone for over 4 hours but has now got into the routine like he’s lived here all his life. The pedigree from the breeder arrived recently – quite the aristocat. Just waiting now for his chip number so we can sort out insurance.
  So thanks once again, Pauline, for a wonderful, energetic bundle of life.

Joan Sellars


Hi Pauline
  Sorry we haven't been in touch for a while, but we have been very busy settling into our new home with Rachel. She very kindly lets us have the full run of the house, so depending on our mood depends on which bed we sleep in !!! She doesn't seem too pleased when we choose hers though, but we feel that is about to change soon when she gets new door handles on the bedrooms.
  We were very quiet at first but now talk all the time, especially when she gets up in the morning and when she gets home from work. We especially like waking her up in the middle of the night as well.
  She keeps calling us Basil and Bruce which we ignore of course, and just do our own thing as and when we please. We have been going out into the garden every evening, and that is great, there's so much to do and see, but for some strange reason she won't let us go and explore next door yet. We especially enjoy the grooming outside, it makes us feel great, but I think that may have something to do with us moulting a lot in the warm weather.
  When Rachel is watching telly it is a bit of a battle as to who gets prime position on her knee, but she diplomatically lets us takes turns.
  Anyhow time to go and sit on the computer whilst Rachel tries to type up this email,
  Thanks,
  Bruce and Basil (Red point and Cream point)



Dear Pauline,
 Just to let you know that 'Cheddar' now called Baht'at has settled in very well at our house. He is still a bit nervous of us all but he is still quite young. He now goes outside and does not stray very far from the house. Mia is still very put out and spits and howls when she sees him but it is only a matter of time before she gets used to him.
 Baht'at is a lovely cat, very friendly and adaptable as you said and loves being stroked by us all - the children are delighted with him as are we all.   
 Thank you again for keeping Cheddar for us -  he is already becoming a great friend.
 Best wishes
 Richard



Floyd

Phoebe and Floyd

Hi Pauline,
  I'm very pleased to say that we haven't experienced any problems with Floyd. He's definitely a member of the Elliott family!
  He took to us the moment he arrived. Very affectionate with everyone and now well settled with Phoebe.
  Noisy at night to start with but he's settled down now. He has the run of the whole house. He often settles down with us in bed at night. Then dive bombs one of us in the middle of the night.
  We kept him in for 5 weeks and he's been fine with roaming around the neighbourhood - not sure whether the local wildlife would agree? Lots of gifts arrive on the doorstep after he's been out.
  He's extremely loved and we're really thankful that you helped us find him.
  Please see the attached pics. We have more if you'd like them. Please feel free to pass them on to his previous owner and tell them how well suited Floyd is to the Elliott family.
Kind regards

Willow and Jasper
Hi Pauline
I wanted to tell you of the joy I have had from Willow and Jasper.  I picked the two of them up some 13 years ago from The Wirral, via Siamese Rescue.  Both needed rehoming when their breeder decided to give in to her husband’s wishes and stop breeding cats.  At the time we lived in Hyde, Cheshire although we have since moved to Devon.
Jasper was a Cornish Rex, but had always been with Willow.  He was 18 months and Willow was 15 months at the time.  Jasper had a brilliant personality and was very intelligent.  He would recognise the sound of my car engine and come out of the cat flap to greet me.  He would jump in the boot, investigate the goodies I had bought and then flop on his back to have his tum scratched.  Sadly he developed an intestinal problem and died 4.5 years ago.
Willow was distraught, yowling and yowling for Jasper for several weeks.  Eventually he settled and has been a love.  He is very much a lap lover and snuggles up with us at night.  Unfortunately, now, my lovely boy, has developed cancer.  He looks in good condition on the outside, but has a large tumour between his spine, heart and lungs which is fast growing.  It makes him vomit and cough a lot which was diagnosed after an x ray when I had taken him to the vet about it.  The steroids the vet has put him on have controlled it a bit and at the moment he is lazing in the shade.  He has lost his chatty yowl as it is affecting his throat as well.  The vet thinks he is OK for a couple of weeks, though.
I just wanted to thank you for all the pleasure we have had over the years from these two lovely, funny boys.  I was really glad to see that you are still carrying on the good work.
Thanks so much
Linda Brightwell.

Vinnie
Hello Pauline,
Just thought I drop you a line at how the cat is coming along.  If you remember you rehomed a 8 month old bengal to us a few months ago.  We re named him Vinnie.  He is just the best cat ever!!  Such a joy to have around the home!!  I have totally fell in love with the breed, he is intelligent and playful, he acts more like a dog than a cat!!  He has his moments where he is really affectionate and then the next he's all teeth and claws!!
Im afraid though that he is a self inflicted house cat!!  He refuses to go out side for anything!!  I even got him a lead an a leach!! The first few outings went quite well, but each time he has gotten less and less confidant, and now when i open the door he just sits looking out or stays on the front of the house!!  I am yet undecided whether to persist with this or to just have him as a house cat, he seem very happy and contented and I really don't want to upset him in forcing him out doors, but Im hoping that as he gets older and with more lead walking, that eventually he will change his mind!!  Although he does love an open window which is quite strange!!
I was also toying with the idea of getting him a companion, as he seems very settled, but my partner thinks this would be a bad idea, and when you homed him to us you said he should be the only cat, but I thought that if he was indoors all the time that some company would be nice for him while we are at work.  I do think that it would have to be another bengal or a breed of similar size and intellect, as I think that any normal moggy or a timid cat would get picked on!!.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this issue!!! 
Well anyway I just wanted you to know that he is very happy and very loved!!  Thank you once again for allowing us the privilege of such a wonderful cat!!
From Donna, Glen and Vinnie!!

Casey (Tom)
Hi Pauline,
 
Just to let you know we arrived home safely with Casey.  Hope you like the name.  He has accepted the house very quickly, uses his dirt box and has been eating and drinking.  He spends a lot of time purring and following us about or laying on our laps.  I think you can say it has been a very quick success.  We think he is lovely.
 
Thanks for your help.  I will send some pictures and an update when we have had him a bit longer.
 
Gill and Dave Reynolds
June 5th
Hello Pauline,
 
Well, massive progress!  They are now outdoors and the new kids on our block.  Letting them outdoors didn't go quite as I was planning, I left our front door wide open on our way out one evening, took 30 seconds to coax Simba back in and 45 minutes for Millie!  This was about 4 days before they were due to be gently introduced to the outside world again in a carefully planned operation!  After that they were pretty desperate to go out, so I planned it carefully again and we introduced them to our garden a couple of days later when i had recovered from the stress of them 'escaping', and off they went.  Absolutely fine, they explored gently around, met all our neighbours, again, plus one or two neighbouring cats, and have now settled into a very happy routine.  The litter tray has gone and they are popping in and out of the cat flap like old pros.  They love being outside, Simba to snooze in the shade or by my feet, and Millie to play and explore.  So here are some more pics to show you how well they have settled.
 
We love them!  They are just gorgeous.  Our night time routine is they all go to bed about 11pm in the kitchen/utility room with Ralph the labrador.  They can still pop in and out of the cat flap as the want, but they seem to like this routine and settle down to sleep.  Sometimes all five of us have a cuddle on the floor of the kitchen at this time, it's good bonding time and sems to give Millie confidence to with Ralph.  Simba just poddles around Ralph and I suspect they are actually going to really like each other in time....Ralph certainly likes them. 
 
They are playing a lot now.  They have two toys, and Simba is joining is, but Millie just loves to play and gets quite carried away.  We hear her scampering around upstairs in the evenings when we are watching telly, with Simba stretched out on the other sofa keeping us company.
 
So they are fine Pauline, and we are so happy to have them, thank you.  All their insurance and microchip paperwork is sorted and I have  their worm pills out to remind me to do that, a week later than you asked, but I didn't want to combine their going outside with worming tablets.  Must do that tomorrow!
 
So, we hope you are all well and about to light the BBQ, as we are!  Will be in touch in a few weeks with another update.  thanks again for allowing us to adopt them.  They are very special and we do love them to bits.
 
With best wishes
 
Julia and Richard



Hi Pauline,

             It's me, Coco, just thought I'd let you know how I am getting on with my new people. It's four weeks now since I came to live here but I remember that journey home in their car. I'm sure they do too. I was most upset and let them know. For the whole two hours I yelled at them! I also weed on the towels in the cat basket. (Well if some-one had warned me I was travelling I would have used my toilet before I set off)

Anyway after that traumatic start I have settled in very well. I love sleeping on knees. It's my favourite pastime. Well that, and lying in front of the coal fire. In fact, when it is cool in the house, I sit on the hearth to remind my people to light it for me. I have a nice comfy bed that I sleep on if they go out and at night time. I'm not allowed upstairs (but I'm working on that).

I have met THE VET!

For the first two and a half weeks I behaved impeccably then something upset me and I ended up with a water infection. I am ashamed to say I weed in places I shouldn't have and there was blood in it. My people were very understanding and took me to the vet.
He said it was stress related, gave me an injection and some antibiotics. They did the trick and I am fine again. I always use my tray now and get lots of praise. I even go inside the house to use it when my family take me out for a wander around our small garden. They say I'm allowed to toilet outside but that seems rude to me. So I dash in when I feel the need.

My people sit outside with me when it's nice and I'm getting used to my new surroundings. I haven't ventured far yet, they won't let me. Today I am going to see the vet for my booster so maybe I'll be allowed a little more freedom after that. (I was chipped last week, just in case I get lost)

You'll never guess what happened today. A great big hen came into our garden! You should have seen it's face when I chased it. It couldn't believe it and didn't know which way to run. I made sure it left very quickly. It was squawking it's head off. How dare it come into my territory! My people couldn't stop laughing and said I make a wonderful guard-cat.

Well that's all for now. I'll get back to soaking up the sun, sitting on George's knee, in the garden.

Thank you for looking after me before I came home. I'll write again soon,

                              love, meows and purrs,

       Coco, (With a little help from George and Angela)


 
 
 		 Hi Pauline - as promised pictures of Gizmo, the Blue Point we adopted three weeks ago. He has taken over as boss and is turning out to be a great friend, always around and always in the warmest place in the house. Thanks for all your help, I think we have a success.

I've had Caspar about 5 months now and he is a totally different cat. He is the most vocal Siamese we've ever had, and his favourite place to sleep (and shed hair) is on the sofa in the conservatory. He also likes to squeeze himself between me and the radiator at night, or oddly enough
completely submerge himself under blankets, sheets and mattress covers.
I have in the past also found him in my sock drawer.
He is a cheeky thief, with a particular liking for anything left on a table unattended for 5 seconds or more, and plays fetch with a green frog toy he's taken a particular liking to. He also drags teddy bears more than double his size down stairs and into the conservatory.
Thought you might like to see how he's getting on.
Thanks again,
Sophie
 


 
   
   
Hi Pauline,
 
As promised here are some pictures of Billy.  He is settling in very well and we really love him.
 He has shredded his little mouse but he still has his other one.  He is a lovely little cat and we feel very lucky to have him.  I will send some more pictures as he grows.  Many thanks.
 
Regards
