Everybody wants to be a cat

I've always been a fanatic about cats. Well not fanatic, but it shows I have a wide vocabulary. I've always preferred them to dogs... it probably helps that I have the best pet cat in the world - Sooty! We've had her for about 11 years or so now and she's the sweetest cat to ever exist. 10 years ago she gave birth to four kittens, three black females and one grey and white male, Spyro, whom we kept until he was hit by a car while still a kitten:


Nowadays Sooty is just the most sweet-natured and funny cat you could ever want. If she sleeps on your bed, she has to get under the covers and rest her head on the pillow and proceeds to make sure she's no further than 10 cm away from you.

She will sleep ANYWHERE. Her new favourite place to sleep, however, is in this box on a table that we've since put an old cushion in:


And just for the hell of it, some photos of Sooty that sum her up pretty well:







I love her :-)
