Unfortunately my cute and affectionate little cat Jessy, caught a rabbit yesterday. She was outside the conservatory door with it in her mouth. Managed to grab cat, threw her indoors and let the rabbit stay and recover. Cat furious watching it through the window all evening. Rabbit disappeared and eventually I let her go out in the garden. She stayed out all night and in the morning she was sitting on fence and poor rabbit dead on the grass. Cat now happy and purring as usual again. I suppose its all natural and if she was a farm cat it would be OK - must go and get some flea treatment now

Honeypot43 we also had a black and white cat called Jessy. She was my special friend and I still miss her after 6 years. Cats can be wonderful companions and it is wonderful that your two are such good company for you. I hope Jessy helps you with your silver-surfing!

My two cats have helped me through loss of husband in 2014. I sold the house, bought a bungalow with pretty garden and got my two cats from Blue Cross. Willow is an overweight female tabby, very pretty but nervous, she was in a cage with a little black & white cat called Jessy who is affectionate and active, I couldn't resist them. They have been a such a comfort, affection and source of amusement. They help me with all my activities, ie sitting on keyboard, chewing edge of my watercolour paper while I am trying to paint, and pulling threads on my knitting, but instead of being so lonely I have two living beings with me to share my home. I am 73 and feel so much better now and would recommend pets after bereavement to anyone.
