I am seriously so crazy about cats! I can't even tell you. If I had it my way I would have a hundred cats, I just love them and I can't get enough. We have two cats, one called Lotti and one called Sylvie. Lotti is three years old and we think Sylvie is probably slightly younger, we don't really know because Sylvie adopted us! Her owners didn't really tell me very much when she agreed to let us keep the cat (we had no choice in the matter - the cat choose us and that was that!)
Both our cats are sterilized and micro chipped and are in great health! We love them so very much.

This is Sylvie! She loves the sunshine, hehe.

She is obsessed wit boxes! Both the cats are obsessed with them

We have a huge corn field out the back of our house, which the cats just love to explore!



I love my fur babies so much! They truly are a part of our family.
Oh and before I go, I thought I'd share a photo of my mums new kitten 'Elsa'. Isn't she lovely?


She's sooooo purrrrrdy, now I really want another kitten.... Uh-oh.

"Thousands of years ago, a cat purred, and humans listened. We were fascinated. Today, we're still fascinated by the purr, but in many cases, we've let our feline companions down. There are millions of homeless and hungry cats. These are but a few of the stories of the lucky ones, rescued from bad situations and given a place on easy street.

You'll be inspired, you'll be awed, and you'll say "awww" over stories about cats like these:

Ms. Sammy, the cat delivered to her "furever" home by the coroner.
Lima, the kitty with a horribly infected tail, but who never stopped purring in appreciation of her human's efforts to help her get well.
Hanuko, the rescue with two human mommies.

From tales of cats rescued from a warehouse, a barn, and even a coffee can, to heartwarming stories of feline determination and human compassion, every story in The Cat Rescue Diaries is evidence of what happens when good people seek out the purr and find their "purrfect" feline match."

 I recently read the cat rescue diaries on my kindle. I love reading animal tales, especially cats because, well, I am cat crazy! I can't even remember how long I've had this book on my kindle, I have just had zero time to read but once I started reading, I couldn't put it down, hehe.
I loved these short stories which were all true. Each story told the story of how people came about having there cats, rescuing them or cats adopting them. Needless to say, it really didn't take me very long to read this book. It's a truly lovely book, each story had a lovely ending!

What book(s) are you reading at the moment?

Before we moved house (almost a month ago!) we had a cat that kept coming to our house and just would not leave. I even tried to encourage her to go home, I even TOOK her back home but no, she wasn't having any of it. She just kept coming back. She'd sneak inside the house when I wasn't paying attention and hide and then suddenly appear from nowhere at midnight. For some crazy reason she decided she wanted us to be her humans, goodness knows why, our house is rather chaotic, haha. She just took to us straight away. I really had no say in the matter. This went on for about six months - with her coming and going like she lived with us, sleeping at ours and eating all our cats food. Well, before we moved I was obviously quite worried about leaving her behind and by this point we'd all really taken to the cat.

Sylvie.

Anyway, I knew the right thing to do was to speak to the cats owners. So that's what I did. I had a polite chat with the cats owner (who was very nice!) and explained I was moving and that her cat seemed to have adopted us and just wouldn't leave, I was concerned the cat would become a stray - something I just couldn't bear even thinking about. The lady told me that she had tried to encourage the cat to come back to her, but the cat was having none of it. She also said that she thought the cat had adopted someone else. She told me we could keep the cat and take her with us if I was willing to do that, she was fine with it as long as the kitty had a good home. I had to say yes, I couldn't bear to leave the kitty behind! So that' exactly what we did.

She's spoiled rotten and she fits in so perfectly with us. She always has, right from day one. It's rather bizarre to be honest. We love her so, so much. Her name is Sylvie, she's around two years old, she's such a loving cat and so affectionate! Sylvie loves the kids, especially Ellie. She's also been sterilized just like Lotti has. I still have no idea why she chose us but they do say - Cats choose there owners, you don't choose them, that is SO true.


Our cat 'Lotti' has never got on with other cats. She did get on with our kitten, Lenni after a few months, sadly he passed away in January 2014. Anyway Lotti did start to tolerate Sulvie. After six + months though, she has come to terms with the fact Sylvie lives with us and they've recently (within the last few days) started playing together. I don't think they could actually be without each other now. Sylvie just fits in so purrrrfectly with us and we couldn't possibly bear to be without her she is definitely a huge part of our family, as is our other cat, Lotti.

This is our other cat, Lotti.

Do you have ay pets? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to hear some pet/animal tales and stories :)

So back in September we got a new kitten. We got him from a cat (charity) rescue place. He's been absolutely fine until the last month or so. A little on the small side but healthy and happy.
We think he had cat flu, got antibiotics for that. He seemed to get better but as soon as the antibiotics ran out... he was poorly again. Back to the vets. More antibiotics and blood tests and we still don't know what's wrong with him. We (as in the vet and myself) think it's something to do with his liver. Also, he now has to have senior cats diet or low protein. Poor kitty! He's five months old but the size of a 10-12 weeks old kitten. He is TINY! He's now on more antibiotics and medicine. He may need more tests after Christmas. Just see how he is after the meds and antibiotics.


I really hope he's going to be ok. I can't imagine life without him. Now, I know that sounds totally daft to some people because he is "only a cat". He's actually like part of the family now. The kids adore him, too! He does seem to be getting better again, running around like a loony and chasing Lotti, our big cat around the house, lol. It's nice to see him getting back to his old self again. He's so affectionate and loving & things would certainly not be the same without him.
