Jasper the kitten has been with us now for a month and is settled in and considers the house to be well and truly his now. I have to admit to be completely smitten with the young fella. He is a typical kitten who loves lots of chasing toys on strings, pouncing on 'mice' and …
We got a new cat today or to be more precise a kitten. We have named him Jasper and he is 6 months old. When we moved into our current house we got a cat. We called her Mia and she died this summer at the grand old age of 19 years. She was much loved …
