Funny thing is that she has a cat and 3 dogs. She admits she's a "dog
person" and is studying dog behaviour etc because her dream is to get
a career in the area of dog training. The cat, Sooty a black DSH (With
a name like that are you surprised to find the feline is a black DSH?)
apparently treats the house as somewhere to come in when he's cold,
bored or hungry.and he's been with Jackie (Tessa's partner) since
before Tessa

Tessa's never really understood the charm of being a slave and I
suspect Sooty regards his Hoomins with the same indifference. They're
not cruel (Sooty is neutered, chipped, wormed and has had his shots)
but I get the impression Tessa regards cats as lower than dogs

Maybe this is the time for Sooty to demonstrate why felines are good
in a crisis. When my dad died, Isis (RB) who never sat on my chair sat
on it until I came home. I was out when I heard that maybe I had
better get to the hospital asap and Dave tells me as soon as he took
the call, Isis went to my chair and sat there until the next day when
I came back and when I did she looked at me as if to say "I know
you're having a bad time and I've kept it warm for you" and jumped off

Mind you when I took the call to tell me my mum had died..I REALLY
didn't knoe whether to laugh or cry!!! I'm listening to my brother
with the sad news and out of the corner of my eye I can see Dunzi and
Sarsi apparently engaged in licking each other in places we will not
mention!
