Willow and Flora are brother and sister. They have spent
all of their lives together. As a result they are very fond of each other. They
were rescued and came to us at the age of about two on Sunday 27th May 2001. At first
they were very shy, but as each day passes they become more convinced that they
are safe here, and that we want them to be happy.
They love to go in and out of their cat
flap. However they seem to be quite happy for it to be locked at night,
with them safely inside.
Both of them are acquiring a taste for
gardening. It took some while for them to get the idea of joining us when
we are outside. It is really pleasant to look up and see them sitting
there, or climbing out little cherry tree.
The wall is an excellent vantage point.
They can look outside the garden, which they most often do, or look in.
Flora often rolls over in sheer
happiness. She usually makes a little murmuring noise when she does.
Willow has taken to his radiator bed.
Here he is sitting up, but he is often so curled up you can hardly see
that he is a cat!
Flora's favourite sleeping place is the
computer chair. Fortunately she does not mind it being pushed out of the
way so that we can get to the computer!
This is Flora's smile. She happily purrs,
especially if we have just returned from being out.
Willow likes to be on TV. Telling him it
is only made of plastic has no effect whatsoever - he doesn't mind it
creaking.
We once lost Willow somewhere in the house. It
took quite a while to think to look on top of the utility room cupboards!
He has also been on top of the wardrobes.
Keep an eye on these pages to see what they get up to in
their new home. This picture was taken just after they joined us. We hope they
have long and happy lives with us.
