The jemjabella household is a bit of a zoo, covering several different species: from pedigree cats to exotic spiders. While a hundred (exaggeration) pets might not be everyone's idea of fun, and there's no shortage of cleaning duties to be had, there's always something furry looking for a cuddle and a fuss.

What a Size Difference!

Fudgeybuckets, 10th May 2008 (the day we got him) at approximately 5 weeks old: Fudge last week, 5th July 2008, now approximately 14 weeks old: I am pleased with how well he’s doing, despite his awful start to life. :)

A Furry Purry Update

As I’m being pestered left, right and centre for updates on my furry buggers, I figured I should probably blog about them. Plus I know some of you only come here for the pictures :P Fudge settled in rather rapidly, which surprised me given the situation we rescued him from. I expected him to be… read full entry »

Hex is currently holding a conversation with Fudge through the back bedroom door, where Fudge is kept when he’s not being directly supervised. Fudge has food delivered like room service, and Hex has taken to eating upstairs on the landing…. read full entry »

I found a rather witty blog by way of the .net forum earlier this week. An excerpt; my favourite part so far: Hayley’s cat (interestingly named Cat) is used to a rather expensive brand of catfood, however, she’s recently been forced into eating a Lidle concoction and seems to be suffering no ill effects.

Neuter Your Cats!

As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ll be looking for a companion for Hex shortly. It’ll be a male kitten younger than him and I was hoping for a ginger baby, but other than that I’ve no specific wants. It doesn’t need to be ‘fresh born’ and I’ve been looking at rescue centres. However, this research is… read full entry »
