    Kitty, a neighbours cat, always comes to us for extra tidbits. Today we wondered what she was looking at, then Hubby called out to me that there was a hedgehog in our garden.

    Here they are happily munching away -

    Lovely pic, Sis, and Kitty is so pretty ... think that's the first I've seen of her.

    No, you haven't seen her yet Sis, although I've taken several photos of her. Now that our darling Gato is not here any more, she is doing her best to move in with us.

    Yes, strongy, she does have beautiful markings, she's a picture-book cat. Very friendly and always thanks us for Brekkies before she eats them - she head-butts our hands a couple of times and then eats.

    Aw head-butts, the ultimate sign of affection.

    Mine do it as I'm dishing up their meals. With 3 it can become a balancing act :D

    Especially tonight as I brought them home roast chicken and beef with gravy (perk of the job!)

    My big boy actually jumps up to head butt my hand and has done since the very first day I invited in a dirty, flee-ridden, sad and rejected stray. Even when I committed the ultimate horror and had his bits snipped off, he was still head butting me as if to say "I'm prepared to pay the price if I can live here"!
