Let me introduce you to Poe

Poe and her sister Monet came to live with us in our Crediton home in 1999.    They were sweet little kittens, and we loved them ……and they loved each other too.But that love did not last.  Before long, they preferred to keep an unfriendly distance from each other.Monet was an anxious cat, and had some very difficult problems so eventually she had to leave us for the great cat home in the sky.  RIP Monet.Curiously, with Monet’s departure Poe found her voice.We weren’t at all sure how Poe would take to our move from balmy Devon to the windy open spaces of Northumberland.She loved it! – and took to mousing with such enthusiasm that even when the snows came she was out there, catching mice.She liked to bring the mice in to play with – but often lost them so they ran off to make new homes inside.Recently high blood pressure caused her retinas to detach and she went completely blind over night.  Luckily medication (very expensive!) means that she can now see again.These are a few of her favourite things …
hogging the best spot in front of the fire…drinking Jammy’s cereal milk ….lying in the sun…….doing the fence walk with you know who ….rolling around in a smelly man’s shirt……..watching bird tv (broadcast live from our woodshed)!……and her Christmas mouse! Oh Poe – we love you!
