I know, no one ever believes us! He had to stay in the vets for a long time and I nearly lost him as they didn't want to give him back, 4 nurses there said they would take him if my allergy got too unbearable and now every time I go they ask me!
His favourite trick is to swipe food from your plate - he has been known to take a whole chicken breast off OH's plate whilst he was trying to eat it and run upstairs with it!
His coat is a very plush grey-blue and is a kind of double coat as he is an arctic pussycat. I can also testify to it being water proof as evidenced by my frequent attempts to petal cleanse him!
