Mrs Pig
The old girl. We think she must be at least 14 years old now, which in Cat terms is quite elderly - no wonder she's such a grump and doesn't like any of the other pets. She certainly likes to think she rules the roost - even over the humans!!
She is a funny old girl and we often think she's trying to reply to us as she "mipps" when you talk to her.
She hates worm tablets and flea stuff and would gladly take Phil's arm off rather than sit and be subservient.
However, she seems to like me, apart from the odd nip around the ankles, even though she was the first woman of the house. And I must admit she makes a really good foot warmer.

Harley
Harley - named so for his deep purr and also known as Baby Harley D.
We rescued him and his brother Toby Jugs (RIP 8 May 2009) from a Lady in Northamptonshire, she had brought these tiny kittens home with her as the owner of the mother cat was going to drown them. We picked up these two tiny little mites aged around 5 weeks old and spoilt them rotten, even though they did pee and poo on everything - except for their litter tray!!
Sadly Toby Jugs was hit by a car in May 2009, so Harley D lost his little brother .... after a few days of watching him aimlessly trek around and visiting the neighbours looking for Toby we decided he needed a new brother ...... Jasper.

Jasper
We found Jasper waiting for a home at the Boston and District Cat Welfare, we phoned the lady who runs it, Iris and spoke to her, told her about Toby Jugs and how Harley was missing his brother. We arranged to visit the kittens she had at her home and picked Jasper out straight away .... with that Iris said have you brought a cat box you can take him today, you're obviously experienced with young kittens. I then had to drive home (fortunately only a few miles) to get the cat box - we thought we'd have to wait a couple of weeks before we could take him home. He fitted right in, Harley loved him after a few days, Hoogs and Bees loved him from day one (I swear Jasper thinks he's a dog!!) and Mrs Pig ...... 8 months on she's still getting used to him.
