I’ve written before that my family had cats all my life. My grandmother had cats all her life and when she moved into long-term care her cat moved in with my parents (and ruled the roost!).
I’ve talked about our ginger cat Harrie before and wanted to introduce some of the other cats who have lived with us over the years. So the family cats will become a recurring blog.
It seems apt to start with my parents’ current cat: Freddie Pip. She has a double name because my niece and nephews wanted to name her Pip and my father wanted to name her Freddie due to a certain physical resemblance to a famous singer.
She is quite the character as you’ll find out! She was born at my aunt’s farm and initially not much of a hunter. Nowadays, however, she catches lots of mice – and eats them all, or should I say whole? As my mother says whenever Freddie goes outside, “catch the mice, leave the birds alone” and Freddie usually listens 😉
Next blog in this series: Freddie Pip and my parents’ dog Kaya: do they get along?
