A memory from my cat pen volunteering days – and my first introduction to Tibby, who became my adorable Tessa 🙂

24 February 2013
Cat pens update: new arrival Munchkin – grey longhaired, gorgeous – and Tibby – tiny shorthaired black and white – settling in fine. Good luck to Garfield and Jamie who are off to new homes! Teddy desperate for a run in the corridor, Sox excited to get some affection, Jynx enjoying a cuddle (she is off to the vet hairdresser on Tuesday – as she has some matts on her tummy, being longhaired sometimes not so fun!), and Felix enjoying playing in the cat tunnels, he is full of beans. Feral Aaron around for his breakfast – and then asking for seconds, as usual. Below is the lovely and superfriendly Sox:

“Some cats have survived falls of over 65 feet (20 meters), due largely to their “righting reflex.” The eyes and balance organs in the inner ear tell it where it is in space so the cat can land on its feet. Even cats without a tail have this ability.”
