A Cat A Day: 209/365

by
Chester

Chester is about 18 months old and he lives in Billingham. He’s strong, has very silky fur, is a great jumper and is very insistent when he wants a cuddle. He belongs to one of my husband’s library borrowers and isn’t allowed out. So when John goes round, Chester demands plenty of attention, going so far as to paw his arm for more strokes when John tries to get away.

A Cat A Day: 207/365

It’s taken me 3 months to get round to installing my scanner software on the MacBook Pro. It’s done now and I can bring you a few old pictures.

This is me in my mid-twenties with Steve McQueen, the rescue cat. This is her story:

She was one of a litter of kittens my step-father was asked to take to be put to sleep, because no homes could be found for them. He was very busy that day, so the kittens had to spend a couple of hours at his office. They escaped their cardboard box at some point, but were collected up again and taken to meet their fate.

Later in the afternoon, a little furry face emerged and it was discovered that one kitten had avoided the fatal vet visit. Although more of a dog than a cat man, John couldn’t bring himself to go the vet’s a second time, so he brought the kitten home. Because she had made a Great Escape, we all felt there was only one possible name for her.
