    Husband adores her so much, he spent weeks on this animation to honour her (yes, I have posted the link before, but it's so sweet and a fabulous old song, 'Don't Bring Lou-Lou...!) This features ALL of our cats but the gorgeous Madame Lou-Lou dancing in the starring role.

    OMG I did a double take and had to take another look - it soooooo looks like Willow's body is in the scratching post with her head sticking out the top :D - fantastic pic!

    haha this gave me a giggle. Its about 4 years old this pic and still makes me chuckle away x

  • We have just rehomed a 15 year old 3 legged cat, ad she is black! Colour didnt come into it, she was old, special and needed us.

    She had been "local stray fed in area" - but after a suspected RTA needed a leg amp. An indoor home was needed.

    She is now making her aquaintance with a king size bed and duvet - both of which she loves. We always have rescue cats yet have never met a cat so desperate to give you love. She nuzzles, holds your hands with her paws and grooms you, and if that isn;t enough, she then nibbles you. . .

    After 1 week all is well, she seems so settled and we are glad to have her. I know we choose differently, but colour is bottom of our list, personality and need come first, we always take those that need us most! And have found they give the most back!
    NOT a NEWBIE!

    We're rehoming a black kitten from the cats protection tomorrow. My first cat was all black and we lost our beautiful ginger cat last week when he was knocked down and our puppy is pining for his playmate who used to sleep in her bed.

    we've also got a b&w cat who's been really friendly since his brother died, fingers crossed he gets on with 'Andy' - CP give kittens some daft names and we can't decide between calling him Salem or Luna. Might go for Salem cos my stepkids say I'm a witch!
