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.
