He is spoilt because Atticus is not allowed on beds or the table and benches.

They are quick to learn, because remember we have only had Atticus for about 15 months. He looks very like the beautiful Stripes. What a co-incidence. I have a friend with two Burmese and they were allowed to walk all over the work tops. One was fed on there and the other on the floor. Not good.

I saw it run past the hedge, but so did Atticus. He killed it, but didn't want to eat it. He easts rabbits and mice but not moles, rats and now, I know, stoats. In fact this is the first one I have seen here.

It is Tel, but that is nature. The funny thing is, the cat does not show any interest at all in the dozens of birds which feed right next to him. The birds don't worry about him either.

I lost my earthwalker and sparky sunflowers today. I planted 3 rows of them right beside fencing in between goat and horse grass patch. One cranky old billy goat chomped off a sunflower and the rest had a taste test as well. Now all the sunflowers are headless

Goats are frustrating pets.

I loved them to bits. I won't ever do this again because they are worse than dogs for attention and mine would hold up their milk if they were being milked when we were away.
