This splendid creature is Bridget who belongs to Helen Daykin.She’s pictured here supervising the snow. Helen tells me that Bridget is a one-woman-cat and if anyone else tries to stroke or cuddle her, she gets busy with her claws. Indeed, I gather the vet dons falconry gloves when she visits him. A formidable cat indeed.

Winston who we met on 25th January, also lives chez Helen.
