Supreme Cattage

Our two cats have very different personalities, and have been this way since the very beginning as tiny kittens.

At nine months old they’re pretty much fully developed now, and they’ve grown into beautiful cats.

Freya and Fergus

Fergus is a quiet cat, reserved in nature, calm and stoic.

He’s generally not the adventurous one of two, and is rarely the leader, preferring to follow Freya.

He’s grown into a big cat, strong and fast, and has become a good hunter.

He favours Hugh, and will often wander over in the evening and stretch out on him, revelling in the stroking and scratching, and purring loudly.

He rarely if ever comes to me for attention in the same way.

Freya is, and always has been, the mischievous one. She is bold and adventurous, always the first to explore something new.

She is vocal and demanding when she wants affection and usually comes to me for that.

Invariably she’s the one who comes up onto the bed overnight wanting an ear rub and will curl up happily on our pillows close to us.

She’s remained physically small, unlike her brother, and is as cute as a button.

However, whenever something has nibbled food that’s been left unattended, or has been digging up the snowdrop bulbs from their pots, it’s almost certain to be Freya.

And of course she was the one that scaled the Christmas tree.

It was always going to be Freya..

We love them, and they’ve enriched our lives immeasurably since they’ve been with us. Life is certainly never boring with cats in the house!

  1. We were always meant to live with animals I think. A life without them is lacking something essential. Even when you factor in the convenience of not having to get up at 4am to open the door for a desperate someone to go to the toilet, I still think they are required.

    1. I completely agree. I’d rather have shredded sofas and a house with cat chaos but full of life than a still, perfect one. Home feels much more real with animals x
