    I've just been to visit Twinks, a little black and white stray kitten that I found in my garden a couple of months ago and who has never been claimed. The lady who is fostering him has several other kittens, all 6 months and under, but no-one seems to want to give them a home. Cats Protection locally are having trouble finding homes for all the unwanted cats and, I'm told, are even finding it difficult to rehome kittens.

    His name is Twinks because when I first found him and posted his picture, someone on this forum suggested Twinkletoes for his name as he has white toes.

  • I had a cat called Horace. Along time ago there was a chap in Worthing that people called Burlington Bertie, a total eccentric and used to stand on the side of the road dressed up to the nines and wave to passers by. His real name was Horace a real character as was our cat which we had named after him. Local rescue centres are over run with cats and dogs its abd enough now so what is it going to be like after christmas?

    I mentioned my dogs and cat earlier, but my special pet is my horse. My father bought her for me when I was in my 50s, when I took up riding again when my first husband died. He said he couldn't afford a horse like her when I was young. She is very sweet and gentle with my grandchildren. Her name is Lena and when my father died my mother and I were looking for fuschias to plant on his grave and we found one called Lena. Perhaps that is not what one is meant to write about on a
