Creature Comfort

It is usually a bit of a nightmare collecting the cats from the cattery, but yesterday they reached new heights of panic and mayhem. You might have thought they would be pleased to see us and would eagerly hop into their baskets. Anything but. It took the help of two of the cattery staff to prise them off the wire walls of their pen, Roxie hissing and spitting like a wildcat.

They dashed out the cat flap as soon as we got them home, but it was only a few minutes before they reappeared and all was forgiven and forgotten. As you can see from this photo Ellie is completely relaxed. G had put some towels down on the table with the intention of washing them, but Ellie soon requisitioned them as a new cat bed.
