Claire Donlan has sent me some photographs of her cat, Cleo. She arrived from the cat orphanage 7 years ago when she was about three. Unless I’ve made a wine-induced mistake, she is about ten now…

Claire tells me that Cleo is ‘small and determined and although she likes sitting on laps and being stroked, she also likes to scratch people’s legs and chase dogs!’

Furthermore, she has very pretty white socks.
