For Elaineb........but you can peep

Elaine sent me a pm asking me to post my one cat up...however I am not sure which one she means so here's all five Elaine


Bumble...(great colouring, she is hard to find) a rescue cat 13 years back as a kitten.

Colin, rescued back in 2001, he'd been thrown on a bonfire in a sealed box with his 3 sibling.....lucky they were found

Skip, came as a two day old kitten (headreared) having been born with three legs and a badly deformed stub, which at 5 months had to be removed. Now 14 yrs

Pollyanna...born ferrel, took around 12 weeks before she trusted me enough to approach me. Now 15 yrs old

And Norton...or Grand Champion Bumbleberry Ferndown Flyer) Norton has 5 golds, 20 1st places in the show cat world, he retired from the ring in 2000, after he became very nasty. He was very aggressive and I was asked by his breeder if I thought we could help. We took him on 2003 and have to say he was very difficult and attacked everyone and anything.
Fortunately those times are behind him and he has stopped all his behaviour issues....so he is a real ''pussy-cat'' now.



Norton is now 9 years

Awww, lovely collection Steph

Do you know I don't think I've seen photos of Norton before, certainly never heard his history. Lovely to hear how he's a complete softy now

Colin is a firm favourite with everyone, a real peoples cat.
So is Skip (blk & wht) he lets the kids do anything to him...even dressing him up

He's a real softie now...wasn't when we decided to have him, I think being shown and traveling around did his head in being a big cat when he attacked it was just a case of us diving for cover. Thankfully we have worked through his issues (took about 14 months though) and now he is content to just be a moggy. It's only been over the last 2 years that he'll let us groom him, this always seemed to trigger him off before. We tried a cat behaviourist who recommended he was pts.........glad we didn't listen to him.

They were brought in by one of the organisers of the firework display, he just wondered what was in the box which had been thrown on the bonfire. They all had thier eyes shut so he and his sibling were handreared by me, and two of my friends have his 2 sisters and a brother. All ginger and white. We used to have 8 but two were knocked over 12 months apart when we first came here (Eddie and Monty) and Stella has since died of old age.
