Aw, all those beautiful pets, past and present. Here are Pepper, my beautiful ginger boy, who we lost when he was run over on Sept 21st 2012, and Mia, who came into our lives a month later, via the CPL.

Carwash (the ginger) and Willow, brother and sister, 9 years old.

Our dearest Barnaby,a miniature wire haired dachshund who passed away on December 2nd........he gave 16 years of immense love and pleasure.
Never to be forgotten.
R.I.P.

Willow I am very envious of Daphne finding you. She is gorgeous.
I searched for a silver tabby or grey cat to adopt when we got Bert.

I've loved looking at all the pictures. These little animals bring such light into our lives; the world would be a grey and forlorn place without them.

This is Lucy, queen and absolute ruler of the Scribbles household.

Beautiful animals everybody! This is such an uplifting thread. Thanks for starting it with your gorgeous boy, Anja.

Willow Your Alfie's markings are a bit like my Lottie's. Lottie turned out to be half pedigree Turkish Van and those sort of markings are apparently very specific to TV cats, particularly a very bushy ginger or tabby tail that looks like someone else's tail stuck on the back. Do you know if Alfie has Turkish V origins? I had never heard of them until the vet mentioned it and then I googled. They can grow to be pretty big cats, but sadly my lovely Lottie was killed when she was only 18 months old, so I never saw her reach that stage.

Great pictures of all our pets,here are my three spoilt babies.
Poppy the rescue Lhasa Apso is now 6 yrs old and so special.
Oliver the cat is the boss of the house and near by back gardens he is now 2yrs and 3 mths.
Dolly the baby Basset is 17 weeks old and has fitted in perfectly.

Trold lying on the best cat toy ever. It is known as Rat and consists of a little strip of black fur fabric tied to a long piece of string. I doubt you can see the toy.

Lovely pictures of all your marvellous pets.

Alfie and Daphne, love the names! Sorry to hear about your dog Minimoon ?. My last cat had a perfectly good, soft bed ninathenana but liked to sleep in the box when the newspapers that were for recycling. Perhaps he was related to your Bert?

Double trouble

What cute pictures - Bugsie's T-shirt is great.

This is my Alfie (on the box) and Daphne - both strays who fell on their paws when they found this residence which caters for all their needs

MiniMoon , Puss is also what I call a cat who made his home with me a few years ago. He does/did have a home and was called " Moriarty " ! There's no way I'm shouting that name for him to come in. No wonder he left home !!

We got Bert from CPL April '16
He didn't arrive from Amazon

This is the cat from across the road. He takes up residence in our house for much of the day, and goes home in the evening. I don't know his name! I just call him Puss. I'm glad he likes us, as I miss my dog who was PTS last Christmas.

As Anja says, only other pet people know how much our pets mean to us. They are members of the family.

And Buzz is a handsome chap and truly a lucky boy, as are all the rescue pets. I read somewhere that there is no love like the love of a pet that's been rescued! My cats have been rescued cats, some I have even bottle-fed, and they've given me so much pleasure.

Buzz is a lucky boy ❤️

This is Buzz. He was a street dog in Sicily and I adopted him just over two years ago.

Love the photos, though sad about poor Lottie.?

No Fennel it’s a photo.

Lovely to see these. Sam, Saffron, Bugsie, Phoebe and Lottie ?. Only other pet people know how much they mean to us ???

A better photo of Phoebe and Lottie.

shysal I think Bugsie looks rather cool in his T shirt even though he looks a bit fed up!
