Chloe and Jenna, two other tortoiseshells, went home very happy to see their respective parents.

Andi and Marian ( two relatives on a EU trip) posted this photo of a Greek cat (at Hydra) making the most of tourism.

When shy cats like Wilson stay at the cattery

August 14, 2009 by  

Wilson and Henry have been here a few days.  In the beginning we couldn’t even get close to Wilson without him worrying, Henry although more confident was cautious as well. We started by talking to them and patting but not too much not to tire them. We swept the room and mopped instead of vacuming to prevent Wilson from getting stressed. Slowly but surely they improved.

Is my room ready yet?

A few days have gone by and now both of  them are brave enough to walk inside the cattery and not worry about the other pusses looking at them from their rooms. Wilson is no longer so scared of the vacuum cleaner and Henry is able to be himself and gets a lot of pats.

Can I go walkies now?

They are both beautiful cats and we’re enjoying their company.

Rent-a-pet in Japan

August 11, 2009 by  

Isn’t it sad that with the recession some Japanese people have to rent a pet by the hour?

Milo the Abyssinian

August 9, 2009 by  

Yesterday we welcomed Milo, a young Abyssinian that lives alone with mum. Very nervous to begin with – as these cats normally are – we’ll make sure that he calms down and gets more confident to come out for walks inside the cattery and games of football in the corridor.

Isn't Milo beautiful?

Tortoiseshells or Calico Cats

August 8, 2009 by  

Meet Jenna a young tortoiseshell that belongs to the small exceptional subgroup of good natured cats. These cats are usually grumpy and Vets are scared of them.

Adorable and playful

We talk from experience, our own tortie Annie – that lived up to 22 and went to heaven last year – was a power to be reckoned with and only mellowed after 17. Very few teeth left helped with the ease of handling but she would still bite, albeit without hurting too much.

She was the dominant cat and made sure Tessie and Brooky , our other two cats,  followed her rules.

Here she is in better days.
