Boris - adopted 2008
When we visited the Shelter this weekend we spoke about Boris who we adopted in 2008, so thought this would be an ideal time to give another update and a couple of pictures. He is doing really well; like our other cat he is very pampered! We moved to a cottage in a rural area near Ripley last October and both the cats love it (we adopted Ribbons 'our other cat' from you many years ago). Both are still house cats, but they spend a lot of time watching the wildlife out of the window. At the moment the favourites are all the birds and our resident squirrels! Boris settled in his new home really well. He seems to settle really quickly and nothing seems to phase him, even travelling in his cat carrier he stands up all the way and tries to watch what's happening out of the car window.
He's a very chatty cat and his affection as increased over the year or so we have had him. He's cuddly and now loves sleeping in bed with me under the duvet, usually under my arm pit! He is also very playful, and as now started attacking feet.... giving them a quick claw or a nip.... before walking off purring. He still has his favourite toy, the bear on a string. We had to replace his old one and he still walks around with it in his mouth making some very high pitch squeaks. So he is really loved and everyone who meets him falls for his charms immediately.
We have been thinking about adopting again, so you never know we may decide to have a new addition(s?) in the near future. Below are a couple of pictures of Boris which have been taken recently
