Solomon (my siamese blue) and I, just adore all the photo’s, along with all the comments of those that have been converted – the willing slaves of these exquisite often distant creatures.

Cheers for Mr Pussy.

Please…more stories about Mr Pussy! I share a house with a cat that could very well be his twin! It gives me great comfort to know someone else derives so much joy from their furry companion. I was never a cat person before I inherited our jet black mischief maker…I’m converted.

So cute! Of course Mr Pussy is a typical cat. A dog has a master but a cat has servants like Mr Pussy :-).
Greetings from Mr Philipp who made his way from a wild life in a little village to an urban lifestyle too and who usually miaows like a sheep.

A delightful blog and a delightful cat. But he is a typical cat! All the things you describe cats do! So pay him the compliment of acknowledging his feline-inity!

I’m with Sam on the cat front, but i’m not really a ‘pet’ person anyway. I can appreciate your admiration though for Mr Pussy.

I don’t really like cats, they are too much like killing machines and they trespass into the gardens of non-cat owners and foul flowerbeds in a way that seems calculated purely to enrage. However, occasionally I have met a cat that I can engage with – your story of Mr Pussy and the last photo of him basking in the sunshine like a small man in a cat suit – wonderful green eyes – almost has me.

He sounds like the perfect urban pet! Part-cat-part-dog – what more could one ask for? Has he passed his hybrid DNA along at some point?

Last year, I had the absurd good luck of being lent a beautiful house on a hill in Sardinia, overlooking the Maddalena Archipelago. It was the low season, so the village was deserted, and I went for days without seeing any human beings, but there was a large and extrovert community of stray cats. During my first week there, a set of them decided to check me out, and came regularly to sun themselves on my flat roof. One mummy and three toddlers. Whenever I needed a break from my work, I’d come out to the terrace and they’d run down and pass the time of day in the most agreeable way.

There was always one who dashed down with particular alacrity, and who never tired of playing and being petted, so I called him Gonzo (after Speedy Gonzales). He stayed on after the others scattered, and was my devoted companion for my six months there. Every morning, I’d go about the house opening the shutters, and there he was, wild with the joys of salutation. Then he’d place himself at the windowsill next to my desk for the day, heading off occasionally to stretch his legs or browse the trees and burrows for intriguing morsels, but always returning to his post if he heard so much as a rustle from the patio door. In the evenings I’d take myself off for long walks, and he would happily trot along behind me for an hour or so, occasionally commenting on some natural phenomenon which caught his eye. He was the best of doggy cats (well, out of respect for Mr Pussy, I shall say he was the finest Italian specimen of this quite unique creature), and I miss him terribly! Here’s a pic of him on one of our sunset walks (with his sister Sophie, bringing up the rear).
