Introducing the new addition to our fur-baby family, Miss Cricket!

Cricket is a four-month old, short-haired Tortoiseshell kitty we adopted from a local sanctuary when she was ten weeks of age. As is the nature of “Torties” as they are known, she is fearless!

She has some very cute habits, which fortunately for us, are not wreaking havoc in the furry environment! Her favourite tricks are to tap Miss Poppy-dog on the nose or her tail! This, she does repeatedly driving poor Poppy nuts. Poppy is being super tolerant of the young whippersnapper and is now barking to get our attention if any of the other kitties try to beat her up!

Her other trick is that she has taken a real liking to grumpy, bad-boy, kitty Archer. She loves to jump on his back, chase his tail and him, and even run under his body to try to get him to chase her. We were quite concerned about how bad-boy Archer would behave as he is so grumpy, but he now has a renewed lease of life playing with her, sharing his food with her, and only landing the occasional punch when he thinks she needs to be brought into line.

As Cricket is very young, and so quick when you open a door, we are locking her in a kitty carrier when we stop for fuel to prevent her from venturing outside! Other than that, she has taken to motor home life like a duck to water.
