Superbbird - Not tricky at all, I'll just ask how she is and that I understand they have a young dog but haven't seen anyone take it out, and say that I have fed Bobby once or twice as he was hanging around. She's quite approachable.

There a 'nut case' next door to her who just goes away fro a weekend and doesn't leave any provision for her cat.

Grrrrr, see they wouldn't leave a child unfed, so why leave an animal. It really makes me cross.  

Both Robert (Bob) and I are passionate about our animals they are an integral part of the family. Robert lured me back to his lair 24 yrs ago, to see his French Lop. I knew then that I would be with him forvever. Sam passed away when he was 9, what a fabulous creature...he had a litter tray in the cellar. We then bought Basil, who was a mpanion to our then first British Short hair Burberry. Burberry passed away  2 years ago. We were devatstated by this loss as I can remember taking him as a kitten to my mothers nursing home, and of course my father RIP loved coming to see him as he grew up.  We lasted 2 days, then I was on the phone to the GCCF for a recommneded breeder. the house wasso empty without a cat around...anyway my therapy was looking after Lynns menagerie, and it worked,..they knew I was upset and I have such a close bond with my neighbours cats.  We found a breeder, but I couldn't holda full conversation without breaking down, I couldn't say his name for months. We have his ashes and his picture in the lounge.

Anyway the next chapter -  The breeder we found in Northallerton fully understood so she invited us over to see the latest litter of which there was a spotty tabby but a girl, we were so taken with them that we reserved two. A mackerel tabby silver boy and a siver spotty girl. A girl at work recommended two, and she was so right..they are great companions. the girl is Leonitara Darling Daisy and the boy Leonitara Beau-Benjamin.  We were so lucky, as they were ready to collect mid July but we had booked a much needed holiday, the bereavement of Burberry and Roberts father had passed away  the week before.....so the breeder said ttake them and bring them back while you are away...so they had a holiday too. I was concerned that the bond mayu be affected, but it wasn't. Daisy and Benjamin are 2 yrs old on May1st...adorable , affectionate.  Every time I see a tin of Whiskas (which they do NOT have) I asee benjamin staring back at me, and Daisy is identical to the kitten on the latest Whiskas advert. They both eat Royal Canin dry, and Applaws chicken, Tuna.......never give them bunny for obvious reasons.

They are ourfocus of affection and it is reciprocated. I don't waste me time with people who dont understand.
