Petting For Your Health
Scoop and Au rule our home. Frightfully glamorous with their soft sparkling clean striped coats, they graciously allow us to serve and pet them, in return for which they provide us with company ~ and the occasional present of a dead mouse or rat.
When I'm feeling down or bored, just looking at their sleek forms as they chase each other through the house and garden is enough to cheer me up. And in the middle of the night when I can't sleep, they're always ready for a chat, a cuddle or a game.
