Hello, thought it was about time I showed my face here


Hi all!
I'm Becks and I have been on Dogsey (as wishbone) for a couple of years, but I actually have cats too (just don't tell the dogs).

I have had over 60 cats in my life, mostly due to the fact a feral cat had kittens in our orchard when I was about 10 and then had more and more!
We rehomed all the kittens all over the country, taking donations for CPL and eventually caught the two females and had them spayed and rehomed.

The two cats I have now are both rescues.
This is Abigail who was 9 this year, born by caesarian on 1st May 1999. I originally had her brother too but he got killed before he was 1.


And this is Ollie, who must be 6 this year. He was being fostered at the cattery we use when we go abroad. So we went with one and came home with two.... Abbie was not best pleased!
He is very small and quite an odd shape really, and always has his tail fluffed out in disgust at the world!
He doesn't go out at all. He had a mystery accident on his first new years and was found lying in the back garden. He spent a week in the hospital and they never did find out what happened, he was x-rayed and tested for poisoning and a virus but he now is not the same cat.
If he wants to have cuddles fine, if not don't bother. He often wanders round upstairs calling for us as he forgets where he is, but if we call back he's fine.
But he has his own room, which he lets Abbie into lol, and his own sofabed etc, but his favourite trick is waiting for me to bring a fresh basket of ironing upstairs.... and then he tiddles in it.
He is a grumpy wotsit, but we love him. You can see how pleased he looks in this pic!
