This section of our site is dedicated to all the furry and feathered creatures that we care for, the dogs, the cats and the chickens...
We thought it would also be a nice touch to include our pets who are no longer with us, that gave us so much fun, joy and loyalty over the years.

INTRODUCING OUR CATS
 
We have 2 cats in our family...
 
We got Jerry a wee silver tabby 8 years ago from the Cats Protection league at the local branch in Hillend, Fife.   He was about 7 weeks old when we got him, his mother was a feral Dockyard Cat from Rosyth and Jerry was extremely timid, He hid underneath the bookcase for about the first 2 weeks it took us a long time to get him used to the domestic life!
 
Jerry is such a loving cat, he loves to be outdoors and catches loads of mice, where he finds them all we have no idea!, he once brought home a baby rabbit (dead) played with it in the front garden and when we got up the next morning all that was left was a pair of ears and a wee pile of intestines on the front lawn.. he ate the whole bunny!
 
We converted a small shed that we had a couple of months ago and built a run especially for Jerry and he now lives outside permanently the reason for this being Hovis!.. He reached maturity around the end of August/September 2006 and dcided he hated the site of Jerry and turned nasty on him, chasing him round the walls in the house and spraying on him (yuk) so rather than parting with one of our cats and having to rehome one we came up with this  solution.

Hovis arrived in November 2004, aged 12 weeks, he is a Birman and such a great cat, but very demanding.. We bought him from Elaine Pace in Dunfermline who breeds Birmans, his Pedigree name is "Paceland Hovis".
He is quite a character and quite unlike any cat we have ever owned before, but we all love him to bits.

Our latest addition is Chunky, our Springer Spaniel pup born on 25th July 2006 at 12 weeks old, he's just gorgeous, as a pup he loved to curl up in bed beside Naimh, he has turned out to be quite a character and a challenging and mischievious wee man!
