Watch as a patient police officer in Texas puts up with a friendly black cat clinging to him during a recent traffic stop.

‘Cat Crufts’: inbreeding row over ‘mutant’ animals

Cats featured today Oscar, Lilly and Sasha, Boo and Midnight.

At last it seems that someone is going to seriously look at cat breeds

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/petshealth/6622801/Cat-Crufts-inbreeding-row-over-mutant-animals.html

Hot busy day today with a lot of ins and outs, it was farewell to Fonzie and Mocha, Marty, Shelly and Malibu. Millie, Sweet and Thomas arrived for a short stay.

Here’s is Oscar (that is feeling much better) tucking into his food.

Lilly and Sasha are here for a long stay while the family enjoys a holiday. Lilly continues to be the favourite, she has infinite patience with her sister.

Sasha always moving

Boo a lovely boy posing from the window.

Today we found out that Midnight will be staying with us until the Christmas holidays, we love him.

Maddy’s birthday

Cats featured today Maddy, Lucky, Malibu, Hari, Oscar, China and Sasha

Today we celebrated Maddy’s birthday with our traditional decorations, special food and toy mouse. We forgot to ask, but we think she’s 2 yo.

Hello mum!

Here she is when she was a kitten

Lucky is still a bit shy, but friendly.

Look at that face!

Hari is doing well: taking his pills, eating and getting lots of cuddles.

Malibu a delight, always ready for a pat.

Hello mum and girls!

China is not a morning person and demands breakfast in bed.

HRH China

Oscar looks at the birds with great interest.

Yummy!

Sasha slowly getting used to life at the cattery.

Beautiful girl

New faces

Cats Featured today Jessie, Maddy and Oscar.

All new faces at the cattery with the arrival of Lucky, Bonnie, Oscar, Jessie and Malibu. Some of these impossible to photograph due to either hiding or a bit too active. Will persist until I get them.

A cooler day today and everybody happy. Even Oscar that was a bit upset has relaxed now and eager to get cuddles.

Jessie is a divine 12 yo Birman, beautiful in body and nature.

Maddy has moved to her valley view room and seems to be adjusting.

Hectic Days

Cats featured today Fonzie and Mocha, Frankie and Toby and Hari.

Another hot day 34 Deg C, but with a cool breeze that made it bearable. Lots of ins and outs and it will continue for the next few days.

Hari is adjusting well to his holiday and showing only a bit of asthma when we pounce on him to give him his pills. Eating well and reasonably happy.

Fonzie and Mocha doing walkies in the cattery.

Frankie and Toby on a rare relaxed moment together without Toby running to hide. There were fisticuffs earlier on.

Bolt Interactive Laser Toy from FroliCat

Cats featured  today: Gypsy, Frankie and Toby, Midnight, Marty, Chino, Precious, Milo, Coco and Maddy

A couple of hot days but we got a breeze here in the hills, so all the cats enjoying the weather in their patios. We have a full house so we thought we’d show you a few of our guests. Our better camera is away on holidays with Bryce so these ones were taken with an ancient Kodak that can’t keep up with cat movements, the shutter is so slow.

Check out this interactive toy for cats it’s hilarious

Gypsy can’t pose, she needs to jump and come to get a cuddle, a beatiful Chinchilla cross with a lovely nature.

Marty won’t come out of hiding as long as there are  humans around, so we had to go to him.

Frankie very friendly but Toby needs to keep a good distance,  just in case!

Midnight still here waiting for his home to be finished.

Chino a super good natured Ragdoll gets a lot of attention.

Precious another lovely Ragdoll a bit shy, but ventured into the office for a while.

Milo a regal Burmese, loves cuddles!

Coco relaxing in the office.

Maddy just arrived and still a bit weary of us, she will get better soon. Nearly there.

Black Cats by The Broken Hearts

Cat featured today Tiggy.

We love this video of the song Black Cats by The Broken Hearts.

Talking about black cats, we discovered that Tiggy loves wardrobes, it took a while to find him when it was time for him to go back to his room after walkies : he had closed the door behind him.

Fonzie and Mocha’s Birthday Party

Cats featured today: Fonzie & Mocha and Misty

It was Fonzie and Mocha’s Birthday! 5 Years old!

Fonzie is always eager to help with celebrations and enjoyed the special food and the new toy mice.

But party pooper Mocha stayed in bed

Meanwhile the neighbours were getting restive.

Check out these scrumptious scratching posts, Zaza our kitten says we need one.

Trying to keep our spirits up after some really bad news about one of our regulars.

Cat declawing now a crime in San Francisco

Cats featured today Sonsha, Mikey, Fonzie and Mocha, Caesar and Shelley.

We were so happy to read this bit of news from the US, we are totally against cat declawing. Thanks to @plouffykitty for the link

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/nation/strange/Cat-declawing-now-a-crime-in-San-Francisco-69298312.html

Sonsha (and our cat Brooky) went to Animal Magic today to get their annual clipping for summer. Ragdolls are a northern hemisphere breed and our summer is too hot for them, so here she is sporting her new look.

Caesar said he wanted dinner in bed so we obliged.

Fonzie wreaking havoc in the shelves as usual

Shelley a lovely Tortoiseshell won’t pose, so we have to get her while we can

Mikey is doing really well.  If only he was photogenic, he’s a handsome boy.
