The Biscuit Kits, McVitie and Jaffa

Dear Readers, our foster cats McVitie and Jaffa were re-homed on Sunday – they’ve gone to an absolutely perfect home, with people who are going to love them every bit as much as I did. It’s always sad for me when the kitties go off, but it’s also so great that they’ve gone from some little flu-raddled waifs to the confident cats that they are now. Plus, I got a box of very nice chocolates to say thank you, so that’s all good. And we got some photos of the kittens in their new home last night, and they look as if they’re already ruling the roost, which is just as it should be.

And now, we have our new ‘kittens’, Goblin and White-tip. Clearly there have been a lot of kittens through the RSPCA this year, and someone decided to name them after sharks. I suspect there’s maybe a Hammerhead and a Great White out there somewhere.

Goblin

White Tip

It would be a mistake to describe these guys as ‘kittens’ – they might only be seven months old, but they are real bruisers. We’ll be keeping in them in a small room for a couple of days, but I suspect they’ll soon be rampaging up and down the stairs like lunatics. White Tip came out from hiding within seconds of smelling food, has already given me a kiss and climbed on my lap, and spends the whole time purring like a small train. Goblin is a bit more reserved, but has also been out for a stroke. 

We only have four weeks until I go off on my mystery holiday, so fingers crossed someone will fall for these lovely guys as soon as possible. It would be a real shame for them to have to go back into the shelter. I’ll post a link as soon as they’re on the RSPCA rehoming website, but do let me know if you’re in the London area and are suddenly interested in a pair of friendly boy cats (already neutered and vaccinated!)
