No pinball wizard

This handsome gentleman is Tommy.



He is the latest addition to the family, a worthy successor (we hope) to the Magnificent Merlin. Most cats seem resistant to change and Tommy appears no different; at 10 years old being moved to pastures new is a big and scary thing, but with his Mum and Dad heading off to Oz to live and unable to take him too, his options were looking a little limited.

Hence his being stuffed in a box (big cat + small box = tight fit), his favourite armchair and blankie loaded in the boot of the car and a 20 minute journey across town to begin a new life as Top Cat in our humble little abode.

So far, on his first day here, he has eaten 3 days worth of food, been cuddled heaps, sworn at Loopy, smacked Nushie in the snout (and made her bleed), taken offence at fireworks being let off next door at the park (his Mum said he didn't like them) and taken up refuge under whatever bed is handy. Currently, this is Adam's bed. Adam is very pleased.

Welcome Tommy, we look forward to seeing a lot more of you very soon.
