Kats & Kits: Helpers' Survival Techniques

Working with animals is not a job to be taken lightly, no good turning up just when the sun is shining, though those days are a delight, driving up the lane you might see deer, hares and even a heron by the stream, and you will probably work with the swallows swooping above your head through the open barn door building their nests.

But the sun doesn't always shine in Wiltshire and the helpers have become accustomed to battling through the most adverse conditions:

Wet days, well the lane floods and you mustn’t be too worried about having a clean car and the rain has been known to be horizontal.
Cold days can be better especially if the sun is shining, I think we only reached six degrees below freezing this winter.

What of the cats? In summer lounging under trees, by the pond or maybe in the garden, some still on Lorraine’s bed, and in winter, curled up in their heated pens on their heat pads watching the helpers rushing about trying to keep dry and warm.
