T'bell is the huntress any movement in the garden its inspection time. and a game is on.

the paw is in making the frog jump.

can i join in! Oliver only plays once the frog is in play, being a real mummies boy he usually catches the frog and takes it to show his mum. end of game for T'bell,

We have four  cats,  Sylvester is a maine coon he is the eldest of our pack , born on the 5th November 2000 we all get to celebrate his birthday.

He is so laid back,

Sylvester has a favourite place under the coffee table in the plant drip tray in the conservatory.

Saphy is a tonkinese she is ten and a half years years old,and the 2 kittens are eleven months old oriental shorthair siamese male and his sister T’bell is a Seychellois siamese,

Oliver likes catching flies eating them too.

OLIVER

he has got his eye on a fly

T'BELL she is a foody tastes anything even lava bread.

T'bell with a frog, the kittens have been taught by Saphy that frogs are a great play mate good thing is they never seem to kill them. the badpoint is they usually bring them in the house at night and often the frog makes a screaming noise under the bed once rescued they get to go back in the garden,

15 years ago our neighbor filled in his garden pond that spring the frogs that were spawned in the pond came back laying mounds of egg spawn where the pond used to be those with a little sense spawned in anything that had a little water , and thats why we still have frogs in our garden,

Saphire ( SAPHY) named after her beautiful eyes, she loves basking in the bird bath when its dry (of course)

the kittens have found something of interest .
