In October last year (2009) we adopted two rescue cats Benny and Charlie, brothers,aged 10.
Benny is all black and Charlie is white with black patches.

After losing Boris 11 months before we thought the time was right and knew Boris would want us to have some more cats from a rescue centre.

They have settled in well and we fell like a family once again.

Benny was run over when he was about 5 years old and crushed his hip, he gets about fine but is not as active as Charlie who leaps about all over the place and can jump up onto the 6ft fence. Benny has to think about jumping up onto a chair and when he comes down the stairs he does so with both his back legs together. He can charge about when he decides to and when Charlie decides to chase him aroung the house or garden.

They are both large cats but Benny is a bit on the skinny side so after having a chat with the vet we have decided to get him checked to see if he has a thyroid problem. This apparently can be treated quite easily with tablets.

We still miss Boris so very,very much as he was so special and such a bright cat, but as I said before we are now a family of four and it is still early days with our new boys.

We are looking forward to the spring so we can all get out into the garden together and have some more fun and enjoy the warmer weather.
