Kats & Kits: Introducing....Freddie: the Talkative Gourmet

I am being a little self indulgent to-day. I am going to introduce to you my own two cats from Kats and Kits, Freddie and Thomas, I also have Daisy who is not from K&K, but I cant leave her out.

Freddie is an Abyssinian cross, thirteen years of age, very handsome but rather plump. He can be timid with strangers, and has a bolt hole behind the sofa to which he goes every time the door bell rings. We need a new sofa, but have yet to find one that leaves a big enough space behind for Fred. He does however love his family, talking constantly, meows to humans and little sighing grunts to the other cats. He would never pass any of us without a greeting. His other great love is food, he can hear a packet or a tin being opened at several hundred yards and skids to a halt behind your legs in seconds. He has been known to have a quick whip around Thomas and Daisy’s plates before starting on his own. Probably because of this ,six years ago Freddie developed diabetes. He is such a laid back cat that he has taken it in his stride, even reminding me when he thinks it is time for his injection, because injection means food. This of course has restricted both him and me , twice daily injections, following strictly, rules regarding food, and treating illness and infections quickly. So it is not to be recommended. However Fred seems very happy and makes us laugh every day.

What more can we ask?
