I'm one of those people who cannot pass a cat by in the street and will always stop for a head-pat or a stroke (if they let me) and find it very difficult to walk by if I'm in a rush. 

I catsit on a regular basis for my best friend who lives nearby, one of her cats seems to like having me 'round and will always demand a lap-sit and stroke :). Also, for another friend in North London who has a gorgeous Russian Blue - who is the biggest cuddle monster and loves attention. 

Cats are such individual personalities and I will never force a cat to cuddle or play if they don't want to.

I have owned 3 cats in the past:

Debby - a shorthair tabby moggy who loved to chase and climb

Timmy - a beautiful black shorthair oriental cross (I think his dad was an abbyssinian) who had so much personality and definitely let you know what he was thinking

Magic - a stray black and white kitten who turned up on our doorstep and never left, sadly I had to give him up as I have to travel a lot for my career - he went to live with my best friend's mum in the country and hunted as many mice, frogs and baby rabbits as he liked before he crossed the rainbow bridge in March 2024

I now have Miley (born in October 2023 and we got in December 2023) who is the biggest tuxie sass-pants, just like her country music namesake (not my choice of name!). She keeps my elderly mother company when I'm not around, so no need to worry about her not getting the love she needs while I look after your furry friends :)
