Wallace takes over

Formula: 1 contented Siamese kitten in the house = 3 disgruntled older cats outside the house.
The corollary, is that the older cats will get over their sulking and come back inside and soon there will be 4 contented cats in the house.

Meet Wallace

You will be forgiven if you have mistaken Wallace for a bat eared fox. He is in fact a highly pedigreed Siamese, with a kink in his tail. This means he was given to us, because we don't go for the papers and the image trip, but love Siamese cats because they are such characters.

Organic pest control

Felicity cat has taken to catching locusts and bringing them into the house. It is more than just catching - it is an obsession with her as she brings in about four or five a day, which is good for our garden. What is not good, is putting your foot on crunchy locust in the dark!

She is not trying to be cute, but is looking for a victim that eluded her in the house.

Here she is checking out the lavender bushes for her next victim. Sometimes she climbs through the upper branches of our shrubs looking for her prey.

Felicity cat adds new meaning to the term "organic pest control".

The reclining cat

Felicity Cat is not constrained by the dictates of fashion like other Siamese cats. She is seen reclining here, in this candid shot, in her striped outfit.

Felicity Cat

There is definitely something amiss with the Siamese lineage, when I look at the tabby markings on the legs of Felicity Cat. Despite that she is certainly displaying all the Siamese characteristics, such as taking control of the home; dominating the other cats, inspite of her diminutive size; living life on her terms and keeping her doting slaves in line.

"Much needed" help from my new PA, Felicity Cat

Meet Felicity

Ever since our Siamese cat Josh died last year in May, we have been on the look put for another one. Our quest has been fruitless and we were told that Siamese cats were very scarce at the moment. On Monday Sue received a call from Cat Care to say that they had a Siamese kitten and asked if we wanted it. What a question. The poor little tike, along with two siblings had been left on a rubbish dump. She was at the vet we were told, with a dose of kitty sniffles and could be collected in a few days.

The little waif. Did not want to traumatise her by taking too many pics.

We collected the poor little waif at 6.30pm this evening. What type of person would just dump their animals like that - that is despicable. As she is still contagious, we have to keep her away from the other cats for at least another week, so guess what she has moved into our room. For a cat of her diminutive stuture she already has a strident Siamese meow, that is disproportionate to her size.

Let me in now!

Ferguson, the brat cat with an attitude, is as equally determined to meet her, as we are to keep him out of the room. He has not let up for the past hour and a half trying to get into the room. He has tried bashing the door down and when that did not work, managed to get in through the fanlight. His intentions seem honourable, but he will just have to wait.

Please......!

Introductions to Ferguson will not be a problem, but the White Thing (aka Dee Dee) is another. She is stone deaf and mean spirited and made Fergies life hell when he arrived. However, he has turned the tables and keeps her in line now. We can expect some interesting feline dynamics over the next few weeks.

The White Thing in a mellow mood

Felicity Cat in the meantime has been returned to the kitty basket, because being given free reign of the room was too traumatic for her. She has settled down and just needs time to get used to her new home but will soon rule the roost.

Welcome to your new home Felicty Cat.
