RIP Cassie, our special girl
Killed by a car on Wednesday evening, she was only 17 months old.
Such a character, she loved life and was into everything.
bummer - it's the week for it... just lost our Daisy on friday morning, hit by a car (got a call from the local vets thanks to microchip)Killed by a car on Wednesday evening, she was only 17 months old.
Such a character, she loved life and was into everything.
I guess the only consolation is knowing what happened.
Busted!
This is Merlin. Merlin lives in the house over our back fence. The catflap is in my next-door neighbour's side door.
This is the next photo...
"No officer, not me. I'd never nick another cat's food from it's own kitchen, no sir!"
Merlin does indeed regularly help himself to all the comforts of my neighbour's house. She's a bit of a soft touch when it comes to cats, though, and she assured me she doesn't mind.

When I had my cat with 3 legs, Jack, he used to make his way round the neighbours houses to collect their offerings This is Merlin. Merlin lives in the house over our back fence. The catflap is in my next-door neighbour's side door.

Honestly it was like he was being worshipped, everybody loved him. Merlin looks like quite the character too 
Indoor V's Outdoor?
After loosing our beautiful Cassie to a road accident (and hearing about poisoning and airguns) we've decided to keep our youngest cat, Alex, in. He's 16 months and a bit dizzy - he just runs everywhere, no road sense!
I've always believed cats should be allowed out but couldn't go through this again.
I'd like him to have some safe time outdoors, so I've bought a harness, which he's not keen on but it's only day 1, and I've thought about getting a pen outside - does anyone have any experience or advice for indoor cats?
Our two 7 yr olds, Loki and Charlie, would never adapt to being indoors all the time.

One time when we moved house we inherited a cat who had been living more or less outdoors for some time. We allowed him (having first taken him for a health check) and he used to come in during the evenings, but require to be let out about 2am. We had two other cats at the time, who were never allowed out and who were ok with that.After loosing our beautiful Cassie to a road accident (and hearing about poisoning and airguns) we've decided to keep our youngest cat, Alex, in.

When we next moved we decided to take him with us and it meant he would have to stay indoors indefinitely. We built a pen in the garden, and a tunnel to allow him and the other cats to go out in it when they wished. Funnily enough, it was one of the other cats who spent the most time out there, he wasn't that bothered.
We moved several times after that and each time arranged some kind of outdoor shelter which they could all use and they did. As far as anyone could tell, they all seemed perfectly happy with the arrangement.
Cats are very adaptable.

Look up Katzecure. I had it fitted back in May this year and not a single escapee out of my 6 cats. Fantastic stuff.After loosing our beautiful Cassie to a road accident (and hearing about poisoning and airguns) we've decided to keep our youngest cat, Alex, in.

Thanks!
Here they are trying out their new walking harnesses for the first time. Pretty bloody funny watching them switch between statues,, being drunk and haring around after each other. Echo (The brown) was seemingly mocking Ishka for having it on - soon stopped when she had hers put on mind!
First try
A little adjustment later
One plots revenge, the other's just a little dissapointed in us!
Reckon we'll have them outside within the fortnight!
