The cats we have had over the years we have been married and the ones i remember as a child,I wish I could write a book. They were all so individual. We had one at home in Folkestone which was also a fluffy tortoiseshell, but a lightcoloured one, called of course, Fluff. my sister could do anything with that soppy cat. She used to dress her up in dolls clothes and push her up and down the street in a dolls pram! She didnt come with us when we were evacuated, and I have a horrid feeling Dad had to take her to be put to sleep.

We've had cats since we married 30 years ago. We always take in rescue cats & have had a couple who just appeared from nowhere & became part of the family. The old boy we have now, Rusty, is 21 (that's him in the photo). He was originally a neighbours cat but always came round to us to play with our big ginger boy, Sandy. The neighbours got fed up with him & "replaced" him with a grey persian. You never saw such an ugly brute! Well, we couldn't leave Rusty to fend for himself & he's been with us for about 15 years now. He's got a few medical problems & his fur is a bit lumpy but we wouldn't change him for anything.

Diane, your rusty is very similar to our Lizzie, but she hasnt got quite so much white, more ginger in those places. Very hairy feet , too.

Merlin, get him checked out, he may have a urine infection and that could be his way of telling you. A clean cat that soils suddenly needs checking out, I think. Ahem, maybe its your feet that need checking! Can remember when OH's feet were so bad i threw his socks out of the bedroom window because of the smell!

Glad that was all it was, merlin.I hope he didnt get told off!
Very windy here last night and despite some sun, still windy. jude is making my tummy rumble with her talk of roast brisket, but I cant have any. Neither OH or me are able to digest red meat anymore, and i see such good meat in the butchers in Abergavenny. Wish there was more taste to grilled chicken.
