"It is difficult to forget Pud. She came to us as a timid scrap of a kitten and left us, many long years later, as an overweight bully dominating the household. Other cats came and went, with their different personalities and fads, joined on one occasion by a rabbit living in a hutch in the back yard. No dogs, though. Our house was too small and they demanded too much care, not to mention the cost of the dog licence. Remember that? Food was offal and the odd scraps or bought from the pet food man in Scotland Green. Visits to the vet were rare, and usually final, unlike today’s frequent medical care. But at least they were spared the terrors of the cat basket and their futile protests. Perhaps you had more interesting and friendlier pets than our moggies, with stories of their adventures and personalities? Tell us about them, and please dig out some photos to show us."
