Kats & Kits: December 2009

Seasons greetings to all our helpers and supporters. Once again Kats&Kits says thank you for your help and donations in what has been a very difficult year for animal rescues everywhere. We are a completely voluntary group and any money donated or raised is spent entirely on the cats welfare. If you would like to work at Kats&Kits we are always looking for voluntary help. We are based between Bulkington and Keevil and transport would be needed.

If you are interested ring Lorraine on 01380 828850 and leave a message and she will get back to you.

Here we have Alfie who was re-homed by Kats and Kits with Melissa and David in 2001 before moving north with the family to the beautiful countryside of the Strathmore Valley near Dundee.

Despite being 19 years old we hear he still rules his territory, and the household, as energetically as he did from the first day and personally contributes to many family emails.

Your blogger became a statistic and succumbed to a dose of swine flu,not to be recommended! I had excellent care from my husband who was supervised by Thomas my 17 year old ginger tom who has a slightly unpredictable temperament that goes with the colour of his coat. Apart from essential quick trips through the cat flap he did not leave my bed for four days, regularly checking my temperature by sitting on my chest with his nose so close to mine that I would be cross eyed and breathing the aroma of Whiskas over me to stimulate a quick recovery. When in the night it got chilly he would lay very close and I am not sure who was keeping who warm. He did not approve of clean sheets and would disappear with a hiss and a flick of his tail while the sheets were changed and then make a lot of fuss when he came back getting his nest comfortable again.

I am now recovered and he has gone back to his old routine checking and marking his hunting grounds and heaven help any intruders who have tried to muscle in while he has been away.
