Looking back through old pics I realised what a lot of changes my poor gang have put up with recently. Having settled into the new house, they have had to cope with the stream of ever-changing faces in the outdoor pen, the loss of both Peaches and Minnie (as well as Pugwash and Greebo whose stays were all too brief) and in just over a year they have gone through the introduction phase in the house for four different cats. Some have been easier than others - I had to remove Baxter when he got too possessive and started to bully the boys, and there were a few moments with both Pugwash and Greebo when I was worried that things weren't going too well, but overall they've coped admirably. They really are nice cats and I'm so proud of them, and grateful to them - they could have made life so very much tougher!
After a couple of weeks I'm daring to hope that Paddington is settling in well - he seems to have slotted in really comfortably, as though he's of the same temperament as the rest, and (touch wood) his has been the least stressful introduction so far. And we didn't have a tabby in the gang!
So, three cheers (and some turkey breast for 'treats') for the Gentleman's Snoozing Club - founder members:
