Pets
I know some of us on GN are rather fond of cats so I thought I'd start a thread (my first!) about my new cats.
We lost our 5.5yo cutie-pie, Willow, in April. She had a congenital heart condition and we knew she was unlikely to have a long life but even so, I was heartbroken.
We thought at first that maybe we wouldn't have any more pets but then these two boys came up and they moved in and took over on Sunday. 
They are Russian Blue brothers, 8yo. Their owners have moved to Korea and couldn't take them.
They're behaving as if they've lived here all their lives! They're militantly affectionate, when they want a stroke or a tickle, they stop at nothing to get one. There was a massive fight literally with fur flying on Monday, which I imagine is down to territory and dominance issues, but it's been peaceful ever since. We haven't had lap cats for years but these two are going to keep us warm this winter, I think.
There are so many almost identical black and white cats around aren't there? I have taken a photo of Bugsie's distinctive white spot amongst the black on his back in case he ever goes missing and I have to put up posters!
Thats great, my 2 adoptees are really settled in now and are very vocal !
and
So many gorgeous cats! Though they're all lovely, aren't they?
Tanith we had to think about that aspect well, as my Dh is retired, but we decided in the end the benefits outweigh the downside. We're surrounded by dogs here so no visiting cats for us, sadly.
Wot I had to go back to the photo to check on the cushion! Yes, it's by my own fair hand. It was an Erhman kit which I made to match the strawberry pattern kitchen wallpaper we had. I've got birds wallpaper now but I can't bear to part with all of my strawberry stuff.
MrsJones they do leave such an impression on you, don't they?
TriciaF that's who we had in mind when naming Felix. I enjoyed the film, though I had no idea that Felix was created nearly 100 years ago! I don't think my cats will be as mischievous because (I'm whispering this so they don't overhear 
) I don't think these boys are particularly bright.
