That white blurr on the backside - I bet Jesse's tail was wagging. :D
So sorry about Emily and hope the memories bring joy to your heart.

Yes, that is Jess's tail - she loves to play.
Emily was, as I've probably already said, found shut in with her dead owner. I am pleased that we gave a very nervous cat about 6 years where she settled and became a happy & interesting cat.
And now we have Rou visiting while her owner sells vintage clothing at a festival - to raise money for the development charity Empower the Gambia.
Meet Opal from Cats Protection. It looks as if she will settle with us and rescue us from petlessness!
Attachment 64529Today , I added another lady to my canine harem! She has joined Bracken and Clover and will be known as "Fern". She is a Bichon Frise.
"Fern" is, believe it or not, 5 years of age and has been a breeding-bitch in one of those dreadful puppy farms in Sir Gaerfyrddin (Carmarthenshire). For those of you who do not know, these ladies are to all intents and purposes, raped; their pups are removed when barely weaned, and the machinery continues. I'd love to get my hands on the "bar-stewards" who do this....I have a few ideas for them.....
Well done, Cam! Vile people who run puppy farms!
Opal turns out to be a Red Colourpoint British Shorthair - how about that for a breed name! to us, she is a cat!
Yes, well done indeed Ian!
Here she is with Bracken, the smaller of the first two. Is this what is meant by "cheek to cheek"? ;) It's difficult to get all three together in a sensible pose!!

Correction:
On second thoughts her name is "Ferny". I'm using the convention that a monosyllable is a command and a name is a disyllable or tri.
An update to the Ferny saga! I am learning so much. Here is a pic of Ferny after a visit to the "beauty parlour" last week -

She is five years old but looks like a puppy. In fact, Clover has adopted her and is treating her as a pup, washing her ears etc. She is also helping to housetrain Ferny, which is saving me a lot of effort I must admit.
I spoke to her rescuer about this and she was very pleased and explained: "They are barely weaned when removed from mum so have not had a full infancy. Many never achieve this, so your older bitch is helping there and Ferny will become a normal adult if all goes well."
This is going to be a very interesting learning experience.
