My cat is called Jolson and is a beautiful black shorthaired moggy who came to me from the RSPCA in December 1999 along with his mother Cisco. Jolson has hyperthyroidism which has been controlled wonderfully with medication. He is a real grumpy old man and knows what he likes and bullys me, my husband and the dogs to get whatever he wants which is usually the lion's share of a king sized bed
Cisco was a real queen with a mean streak. She was a gorgeous black shorthaired moggy who used to sleep on my pillows above my head. She crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in early November 2006 after never recovering from a thyroidectomy.
We then had another cat called Moab. She was a longhaired tortie and white moggy. We got her from a friend of a friend in late November 2006. We thought she would be company for Jolson. She was a real terror and brought such smiles to our faces but she unfortunately crossed the Rainbow Bridge in March 2007 at about 6 months of age when she was hit by a car.
Jolson was never really happy with Cisco or Moab so we decided to keep him a solo cat after that but he was drawn to dogs he saw in the street so we gave him some canine family members.
My dogs are a Rottweiler called Tiny who was born in the Blue Cross and we adopted her at 12 weeks of age in January 2008 and Baldrick a Lurcher (which we believe is a Deerhound X Bedlington Terrier) who we adopted from a small rescue in Wales in February this year.
I am a housewife but I help out rescues by home checking and transporting animals for them.
