Anyone remember Max and Mabel, the 2 feral kittens that hid, stuck tongue out and hissed, these are original pics from last year; just received this update which has given me enormous pleasure, in fact after watching Helens Purrs videos and now this I`m blabbing like a baby but all good stuff
Dear Teresa and Claire
We thought you might like to see how Max and Mabel are getting on.
Last time we sent you some photographs, they were sharing a small cat bed on the window sill. This is still their favourite place and, as the new photographs show, despite outgrowing it, they manage to find a way to fit into it. As you can see, they love each other's company.
They have developed into two wonderful cats. Max is a big softie. He curls up on the sofa between us if we are watching TV and has begun to venture onto our laps. He has also begun to protect his territory in the garden - we saw him chasing after a neighbour's cat the other day.
Mabel also loves a fuss now and rolls over on her side if you start stroking her. She still loves to play with the toys she had at Paws Inn and supplements this by chasing anything that moves in the garden. She has a natural hunter's instinct and has brought in a few 'trophies' (including wasps, moths and worms) to show us. Although Max will sleep for hours at a time, Mabel is in and out of the cat flap all day. They both have healthy appetites, especially Max - in fact we look forward to the day when we can enjoy our own breakfasts in peace.
Both of them have developed strong, loud purrs and are confident around other people. They are very inquisitive when we have guests and do not shy away. We went away for three days recently, leaving a neighbour to feed them. They were absolutely fine , although they have been keen for a fuss since our return.
We hope your health has improved, Teresa, and that the sanctuary is going well.
Thanks again for Max and Mabel - they are a fine testament to the great work you are doing.
Best wishes
Alan and Gill
There are pics attached but not sure how to get them shrunk on here but will try
