Our cats are primarily mousers and keep the farm free of pests. They do an excellent job and sometimes hunt in a group. At the moment we have three black and white cats, all of which were rescued. Dennis, the eldest of the three was found by friends in a plastic bag, thrown out by the side of the road, while Minnie the Minx and Smiffy were found by our French teacher in a rubbish skip.

Dennis at eight weeks.

Dennis fell asleep while he waited for something better than biscuit!

This is Smiffy, just a week after his arrival. He and Minnie still had their eyes closed and needed to be bottle fed. They were both reared on ewes milk.

Here are the twins, still too small for my smallest seed tray.

Smiffy upgraded to the usual sleeping places, dogs beds, sofas etc

While Minnie.........

Picture
Eventually she worked it out, with a little help from her brother.

Picture
Here is the newest addition to our family. Charlie and Linda kindly offered her to us and we were very happy to have her. She had never seen dogs before, but she soon told them who was boss.

Here he is at nine months. His motto: keep an eye on the food bowl!

With his best pal, Lucy.
