Cats :)

as reading The Hawkes Bay in bed the other night
I read an interesting article that said I told B14 and he said that just on our road alone
According to the New Zealand Pet Food Manufacturers Association, New Zealand's pet ownership statistics are one of the highest in the world. They say, “Over 53 percent of households own at least one cat and 18 percent own two or more, making it the highest cat ownership rate in the world. That is more than a million cats!
Frank and Muriel Newman are the authors of Living off the Smell of an Oily Rag in NZ.
I told B14 and he said that the next door neighbours boy and he had done a study and just on our road alone every household owes a cat. They reckon if you live on our street and dont a cat youd be the odd ones out :)

Glad you are in the fashion with cat ownership. I must say Spice now looks plump as a partridge and fit as a flea!!!!

Only 53%? It feels like everyboy has at least one these days. I wouldn't be without ours for the world.

I'm not a cat person, so we'd be the odd ones out. ;) I don't dislike cats, but I wouldn't care to own one. I'm very much a dog person.

We have lots of friends with cats, and they always seem drawn to us. It's rather funny. :)

LS it does feel like that doesnt it :)

kittens are cute arent they Hay :)

wow!!! Diane thats an old cat :)

thanks for commenting Alice

and so are you :)

wow!!! Heart Felt 3!!! - we had 2 at one time which was too much for me :) I have a strong stance on the fact that if you have a cat you should be able to look after it properly

Wow Amy !!!
