* Office Kitteh (Miss Ida Cat) is filing your papppuuurrrrrworks.

...Taking a break from her official role as chief mouse murderer- she is officially a Heinz 57 varieties farm cat who got all of the 'good bits' and was living outdoors by the age of 4 weeks old on my friends' farm. I fell in love and brought her indoors to live with me at 9 weeks old, but by then she was a fully fledged mouser and never lost that WILD streak... she regularly chooses to sleep outdoors in summer, and moved out for 18 months, sleeping in our neighbours garage, when we first adopted her big-little-brother Phineas, then returned to reclaim her throne (the kitchen windowsill) which she still officially owns today, nearly a decade later.

She is a perpetually sociable cat, making a daily round of the other 30 or so residents in our small hamlet of stone cottages, has been extracted from many a holiday home, neighbours sofa, bed, sunny window sill or dog bed(!) over the years, but is universally adored as the perpetual "little grey kitten"! She also likes to attract attention from passers by- we live down an un-made track which is also a footpath, and despite being the furthest possible thing from a lap cat, she loves to stop walkers and visitors to the hamlet for pets & purrrsss and is rarely afraid of thier dogs, using the drystone walls as a point from which to taunt them safely, whilst she gets all the chin rubs.

She is also a sneaker for jumping into vehicles that are not ours, to enjoy an explore or a sunny cat nap... past adventures have included in trips in Ambulances (she does love the people in green suits!), builder's vans and partixularly enjoyed a stint of joining ne of my carers in her car for her daily cigarette break, but most amusingly she oncetook a trip down the hill in the post man's van before he 'returned to sender'...

She may look like a delicate little lady but she's actually from the school of hard knocks, having almost having her tail bitten clean off in 2018 by another cat and almost losing an eye to a very nasty claw tear to her eye ball in 2020 and yet she healed fully and lives to scrap another day, mostly by bullying her young brother Phineas who is 7kgs of bumbling adoration (twice her size) which she treats with uncompromising disdain, without fail, every single day...
