Pethood Stories: Merlin My Ragdoll Cat *

Merlin (my beautiful, fluffy ragdoll cat) is almost 7 years old! It still feels like only yesterday that we picked him up from the breeder and he was so tiny. I knew from our first moment that we would be best of friends, which sounds awfully cheesy, but it’s so true. And I’m not alone; according to the Petplan Pet Census 2018, 41% of owners refer to their pet as their best friend, and 44% call their pet their “baby”.. which I’m also guilty of! Merlin has grown into quite the handsome big boy – he was such a tiny…

How much do you treat your pets? *

Many pet owners are guilty of pampering their pets and giving them treats, love and attention no matter what. I’m no exception, as I can never resist treating my boys to a little indulgence and lots of cuddles. I must have spent a small fortune over the years on buying them various gifts such as fancy cat beds (that they never use), exciting new toys (which they ignore), sparkly collars (which they always end up losing) and all sorts of grooming products such as new combs, brushes, and even cat shampoos! In a way a piece of me kind of…

But I like to keep up with these Instagram posts as it’s nice to look back on every so often to remind myself what I’ve been up to! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram for the latest updates!     I’m so pleased to say that ‘doing up’ the flat is now finally done! It was fine to begin with to be honest but I wanted to ‘prettify’ each room and make it more ‘me’, and the bathroom was the last room…

Say Hello to Marshall!

So you’ve all met my lovely fluffy Ragdoll Merlin, and now say hello to my new baby cat Marshall! Back in July I went and collected this little ball of fluff from a local rescue home. I had been a member of a Facebook group that specialised in rescuing pedigree cats for a while, and when I saw a photo of ‘Snowy’ the Persian that they uploaded, I was instantly interested in him! They had a little bit of information on his history; he’s approximately 4 years old and had been rescued from a home in Malta where he wasn’t…
