This is Squeakie’s tree. Every year when the tree grows too big, we ‘top’ it. This year when the job is due to be done, Squeakie decides enough is enough. She climbs up ‘her’ tree and there she stays, until at last, everyone leaves. Proudly she walks away, really...

Sadly, Murf passed away from cancer last month and he will be sorely missed by all. The vet said that he was in his nineties – a very long and happy life shared with many friends. He was particularly close to KC Cat, Panther and Suz. Thank you Kristin for your support...

(Left) Murf has had his summer haircut and he likes to keep cool under the tree. (Right) Zion Has had his regular Lion Cut. His fur is like wool, thick and curly, so to have this removed for the summer makes him feel so light and cool. He is a little self-conscious...

Mouse’s treasure this morning took a different turn. Mouse has had a change of diet (clothes are off the menu today). She and her friends would like smoked salmon and rocket pasta for dinner tonight. Mouse knows Chrissy is not great in the kitchen so she brought her...

My neighbour was sitting in his vehicle outside his house when he saw Mouse dragging his daughter’s sweat shirt across his lawn, heading towards her home. He gave chase and the culprit gathered up speed towards his home. Mouse dropped the sweatshirt on the driveway...
