New arrivals just purr-fect

Dec 23 2009 By Maureen Messent

I’LL never forget little Annie and Rosie, cats whom I lost to illness and old age this year.

But, with two vacant fireside positions, I confided to lovely Kelly at the RSPCA, Barnes Hill, that she’d have to choose a couple of waifs for me because I couldn’t reject any.

Hence golden-eyed Diva, a once-abandoned torti, sits on my desk as I write, and Mooch, glossily black and white, bloke-ish, is firing a string of feline profanities at the vacuum cleaner.

A happy and holy Christmas to you all from them and me.
