Character Cats

29 July 2006 Thomas is a ginger tabby, same age as Freddie, thirteen years old. He is a lean mean hunting machine. My neighbour’s garden overlooks a railway embankment that hasn’t been used for years and is wild and overgrown, this is Thomas’s territory and woe betide any other cat that enters. Not only has he taken over the garden but the humans as well, demanding to be let in if it rains and he needs to shelter, bringing them mice, rats and birds as a thank you. Luckily they are cat lovers and enjoy his visits. Because of his lifestyle, frequent worming and flea treatments are needed to keep him well and healthy.Thomas is the only cat I have owned that can open the cat flap even when it is locked, so if he is late in at night I try to stay awake to block it off and keep him in, which can sometimes prove difficult, as he would rather be in and out all night sleeping on your head for an hour or two, having a quick snack of tuna and chicken, then off out to check his territory again. When Thomas deigns to give you his attention he can be very affectionate, but he is just as likely to stalk by and with a flick of his tail ignore you completely. Do we love him? Of course we do.

About Kats & Kits:Kats & Kits is a long established cat sanctuary based in the depth of the UK's mystical Wiltshire countryside, on the edge of Salisbury Plain, near the white horses of Alton Barnes and Westbury. Run by a small dedicated team we aim to provide a home to rescued cats where re-homing is not a viable option. This blog documents the daily challenges the group has overcome since 1994 to provide care and shelter for abandonded, stray and unwanted cats.
