Cats featured today: Basil, Billie, Buffy and Scruffy, Chloe, Coco, Gigi, Felix, Patch, Puss, Rosie, Tommy and Socks.

Rainy days and a few new faces at the cattery. Cats with thick fur coats don’t feel the rain and tend to sit outside anyway. Out come the towels to dry them out.

Today the sun came out, but a cool morning.

Here are some of our guests.

Basil smiling and making the most of the day

Billie didn't want to getup but feeling better and getting lots of pats

Sister Buffy also cautious in bed

But brother Scruffy is not shy at all, hello mum!

Chloe here for longer stay this time

Coco is a senior but she still walks around

Gigi feeling better with her insulin and her favourite meat

Felix is still nervous but coming around and eating better (look at that quilt!)

Patch said it was a bit cool to getup (10 degrees C)

Rosie a delightful kitten, perfect in every way

Tommy loves the camera

Socks trying to talk to Chloe, but she won't

We liked these cats at sea, made a nice furry addition to the harsh life of the navy. When men fall in love with cats it’s very strong. We see it all the time!

Of course the quintessential cat at sea was Matthew Flinders’ Trim. Read all about him here.
