Cats

IF you are anything like me, you will love cats!  I am very much drawn to cats and I am so lucky because our neighbourhood has lots of cats...
  • skinny cats
  • furry cats
  • fat cats
  • cute cats
  • big cats
  • small cats
  • beautiful cats
  • ugly cats
  • white, black and tabby cats
  • grey cats and ginger cats
  • cats of every shape and size
The picture above is my daughter's cat.  Kameko is a Seal point Tortoise Siamese cat with a pedigree more distinguished than the British Royal Family but a nature and disposition as haughty and demanding as a monarch.
This cat is 11 years old and has used up all 9 of her lives and still continues to live.  She is anorexic and frequently goes on hunger strikes and then expects us to shower her with love, affection and pampering.

Her diet used to consist of a bird a day.  If there was a bird on the ground, she would catch it.  This hobby stopped one day when she was run over repeatedly by some perverse driver.  With a few lives expended, Kameeko had a will to live and after considerable expense and a few months at the local vet she once again was at home and up to her feline demands.  The cat's agility and mobility had been compromised and she was not quick enough for most birds so she had to resort to dry food.

I tolerate Kameeko.  As a cat she is not one that impresses me much!
