About me

Smokey came to us as a very small, fluffy kitten one day just after we had moved house. My husband was busy in the garden and felt something crawl onto his foot. There was this small bundle of fur looking up at him and begging for love and attention! He made himself very much at home and Ruth and Naomi loved having a little fluffball in the house!

Favourite food

Raw fish and chicken.

Favourite toy

Scrunched up paper balls as a kitten.

Likes

Smokey loved to stretch out in front of the wood fire on his back with legs in the air! He loved to play hide and seek with my youngest daughter Naomi outside in the garden. Catmint was his passion! Every time I grew a new plant, Smokey rolled in it, licked it, chewed it until it was a plant no more!

Dislikes

Being given tablets. Having a bath.
Strange cats and dogs coming into the garden.

What makes me special

His gorgeous ´smiley´ face. The way he could beg like a dog for treats. Naomi even taught him to ´shake´ paws to earn a special titbit. Smokey was a very loving and friendly. When we had visitors stay over, Smokey didn´t mind and introduced himself to everyone!
