Three cats cuddling up. These three have never been seen sharing a basket before.

A Cat A Day: 61/365
The vet we saw today told us that Malteser is improving on his steroids and anti-biotics. But he needs to take them for another week. Malteser won’t mind because it means we’ll have to give him lots more freshly cooked treats with the tablets hidden inside.
Plus… the vet is Spanish, from Las Islas Canarias. We said ¡Hasta Luego y gracias! at the end.

Cats and ribbon – a perfect combination. Willow will play until my arm is tired and then come back and steal the ribbon when I’m not looking. An experiment today – because I don’t know how acceptable the quality of this BlackBerry video will be . . .

Teddy only realised he liked the cats a few months ago, so he hasn’t had much practice at picking them up. This picture from late last year shows Ted struggling to hold Cosmo, who is rather large and heavy. Luckily Cosmo is very patient too, so there are never any injuries, no matter how clumsy Ted may be.

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.

Gorgeous Willow and Cosmo have bonded as only naughty boy cats can. Lots of play fighting and bum sniffing, I’m afraid.

Malteser has been sneezing lately, so we took him to the vet today. He howled the whole time he was in his carry box, but as soon as he saw the vet he calmed down instantly and started acting as if he was in a cat show. Magic vet’s touch…
He’s fit and healthy (although a little thin), but the vet thinks he’s allergic to something. Isobel and I have been speculating that he may be allergic to our new cats, Rosie and Willow. Anyway, we have to give him 4 tablets a day for five days. If you’ve never needed to do it, here are instructions on How To Give A Pill To A Cat.

Willow is thoroughly enjoying being stroked. He’s still shy, but continues to improve a little every day. John is his favourite person in the family.

Pretty Rosie sniffing around for leftovers. She’s a terrible kitty-piggy.

These kitties hiding in the shrubbery and pretending they’re wild are Tinkerbell and Spook. These ladies were my childhood companions. Spook came to us when I was five and Tinkerbell was Spook’s sister Belle’s kitten. Aunt and niece then. Spook was the scaredy-est scaredy cat and yet amazingly affectionate. Tinkerbell adored custard creams.
