Welcome to the family

DD2 has wanted another pet for ages ... we have cats, and won't on principle have pets that need to live in cages. But eventually DH relented and we welcomed three goldfish home for DD2's birthday. It's taken a while to get used to looking after them, but DD2 is very faithful in her duties, feeding them regularly, and helping to clean them out when necessary. Wasn't it good of them to line up for a photograph!

My other cat!

She was rescued from 40ft up a tree, having been there three days, and was taken in by the RSPCA. When we met her she'd been with them 3 weeks already and it was almost another week before we took her home. She was about 18months old at that time. She lived in the spare room for ages before plucking up the courage to come out. 18months later she is still very nervous around the children, but is very affectionate (although as with all cats it's on her own terms). It's been hard work settling her in (I've always had cats from kittens before) but she is a delight.

My cat ...

... is beautiful.
