Cats and Chickens

I haven't written a post here about cats for simply ages.....this is an update about the Cats and Chickens who live with me here in England now.



I moved from Ireland to England on March 1st last year with my seven cats and two chickens.  They all love it here.  We live in the country in a house within a walled garden  It is sheltered and warm and safe for them.  The chickens boss the cats around - even the big neutered male boss cat called Biggs runs away from them when they approach him.  I just don't understand why the word 'chicken' is associated with cowardice, to me they appear to be brave and feisty creatures.....

The cats and chickens were originally allocated a caravan to live in, but as the cold winter months have been upon us, they have all very sensibly, migrated into the main warm house (that includes the chickens who sleep in the bathroom at night)


I am sorry to say that the above Cat Gawain has left us.  I am sure he found another home.....he was away for longer and longer each time.  An incredibly friendly and loving cat, I saw him in the local village on one occasion and he was reportedly seen about half a mile away, on another.  The last time he turned up here and stayed for three days, he seemed very happy and well. I think he came back to tell us all, that he was settled and happy and not to worry about him. I felt, when he left that last time, that we would not see him again.
