Well, I'm a 'mad, cat lady' - single with eight cats - and a stray that seems to have moved in now it is colder.

Two of mine are black and white. They are sisters, about 13, and I've had them all their life as I'm slave to their Mum too. They are called Mischief and Millie. Mischief is outgoing and naughty and Millie is very nervous, yet they have had exactly the same upbringing. Mischief cries outside my bedroom door to come in at some unearthly hour - and she won't give up either.

They are both lovely and their Mum still washes them and tries to keep them in order even though they are bigger than she is.
