I've shared my 2 up 2 down terrace house with Marco and Madam Topaz for 5 years.

I rescued them as kittens, they are brother and sister and totally different personalities.

I had 2 cats prior to these again black and white and brother and sister. Bandit was 15 when I lost him to cancer and Smudge lived to the ripe old age of 21. A couple of years ago I was adopted by BooBoo.

She came in the house one day and refused to leave.

Despite enquiries I couldnot find her previous humans. She was a dear little thing, had CSD and was only with us for approx 8 months.

I sometimes think my house has an invisible sign saying all (black and white) cats welcome.

We currently have a regular visitor, CatBurglar, who looks like a stray.

I love that cats can be independant yet demand attention when it suits them or when they want feeding.

I was brought up with pets; dogs, cats, rabbits and budgies. I like all pets and would love to have a dog one of these days - small and scruffy would suit.
