A few of the loves in my life

This weekend I got to see my good friends Emma and Lucy who are identical twins, and Emma's baby Edward (Teddy). We went for a walk in the park and it was so nice to see them all. We have known each other since we were 5 years old and it's so bizarre now that Emma has a baby of her own! Beautiful little Edward was born in May and I just adore him :o)

Although I am in no way ready to have my own babies at the moment, it does make me really broody when I spend time with Emma and Teddy.

 So for now I will remain content with my other babies, my cats Cassidy and Pharrell. We got the boys from Last Chance Animal Rescue a few years ago and I love them to pieces! James thinks I am mad the way I talk to them and coo over them, but I just can't help myself, they are so adorable.

This is Cassidy

And he is such a teddy bear. He loves cuddles and will jump up on my lap for a sleep and a bit of fuss and attention. Around eighteen months ago Cass went missing and we thought we had lost him forever. It turned out that he had been hit by a car, managed to survive and had been taken to a vets around 20 miles away to have some surgery on his jaw. After we managed to track him down, I went to collect him and we had a very emotional reunion! His little face was pretty bashed up bless him. He had broken his jaw and taken quite a nasty blow to the left side of his head, which left his eye really puffy and red. He is pretty much all better now, and despite being blind in one eye, you would never know anything had happened to him. I love my little Cass.

My other cat is Pharrell

He isn't quite as friendly as his brother but he has his moments where he lets his guard down and can't get enough fuss. Relly is more of an indoor cat than Cassidy, and I can usually find him cuddled up either on my bed or in his radiator hammock bed which he adores. Pharrell has lightning quick reactions, and a destructive set of claws on him, so you really know about it when he has had enough of being stroked!

So there you have it, some of my favourite boys in the world. I do sometimes worry that I am one of those crazy cat ladies and James definitely has concerns about me when I talk to them like they can actually understand me, but you know what I think...what's the point in having pets if you don't love them and treat them like members of the family? That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :o)
