Cliffy and Soxy came in yesterday, their first time in a cattery. They are very cautious and Cliffy was unable to come out for photos, but Soxy posed in the box she arrived in.

Soxy's Theory: If you get back in the box you came in, you might go home.

All pusses well but with doors closed since noon today due to the wind and dust.

This is what our street looked like. Clearing up now, it seems that it will be gone to sea by Friday.

Lost cat turns up 500 miles away

September 18, 2009 by templetons 

Guests featured today Mandy, Lilly and Sasha, Minty and Fifi, ChloeH and Zaza

When cats get lost there is always hope of finding them. My own cat Tessie disappeared for 21 days once and I made a promise that I wouldn’t eat chocolate for 2 years if she came back and she did and she was blind at the time! Of course I kept my promise.

Read about this lost cat.

Busy days

September 17, 2009 by templetons 

Cats featured: Chichi, Jasper, Joey, Michael,  Rascal and Tiger

School holidays are here and we are full. Cujo left yesterday and we welcomed Chloe a 12 yo British Blue X adopted at 11 at the AWL, how wonderful that there are kind hearted people that adopt older cats.

Minty a black Persian had a brush (not happy) and we got rid of some of her knots. Fifi enjoyed hers but only for a short time, photos soon.

Beautiful weather with warm sunny days and cool nights, we love this time of the year.
