I was at my desk working when Inkie thought she could sneak into the office and get her naughty little paws on my gorgeous little rats. Inkie was so intent on her mischief she didn’t even notice I, or a little rat called Kiki, were watching her…

My very first rat, Crunchie, was an Agouti rat – a natural brown rattie – and a little while ago I made a joke to Derek how I was going to have three agouti boys and call them Crunchie, Crunchie and Crunchie! Well you know they say, be careful what you wish for…
I was wandering around the ...

I’m very sad to say that our sweet little girl, Tula has passed away.
A couple of weeks ago she started having breathing problems. We got her straight onto a course of Baytril and lots of baby food, but it didn’t seem to help. Then to make matters worse we found a lump under her ...

Although Smudge only passed away this morning, both Derek and I feel very peaceful about her passing. It’s strange to say but we aren’t really grieving for her, we will miss her, but there is no sorrow associated with her death, just calmness.

We were really pleased that Fawn and our new little cat, Inkie had become such firm friends and I’m absolutely thrilled to say that Fawn was doubly excited to meet Cubbie.
Inkie was still a kitten when she joined our family from the RSPCA, but Cubbie was fully grown and he is a big cat. ...

Not that she has been away, but our sweet little Inkie has spent the last week sulking. We had our little cat spayed on Tuesday 2nd November. As expected the operation was simple and we collected Inkie at 4pm from the vet the same day. She was all cute and woozy and wearing one of those ...

When we first decided to go to the RSPCA and find out about adopting a cat, we looked at their website. There were lots of lovely cats of all ages and sizes looking for homes, but one in particular caught our eye. According to the website Mirage was a female, approximately 4 months old, ...
