Arrival Story: Before we got Tilly in November 2008, we had lost two beautiful young cats to car accidents in 18 months. Martyn and I made the decision not to get another cat whilst living at our address. I missed our babies so much, I wrote a letter to our local cattery (where we took our baby Rhea when we went on holiday) asking if I could help out once a week. The lovely owner Angie agreed met me and gave me a trial (still working there still as I love it so much). I had been there 3 months when Angie told me about Tilly (then named Timmy). Her then owner wanted rid of her, she had got Tilly from her daughter who got rid of Tilly when she became pregnant. Tilly came into the Cattery at the end of October, she was nothing like my previous cats but she jumped on my knee and started pudding with her paws into my knee, just like Rhea did and this tugged the heart strings. I spoke to Martyn about Tilly, he even refused to speak about the subject. It has been 5 months since losing Rhea, but the pain was still there, and was the time right??
I could not forget Tilly, I felt she needed me so I decided to phone Tilly's owner to ask her a few questions. She mentioned that if she did not get a new home by December she was going to have Tilly put down. There and then, I knew the time was right, I asked to take Tilly. Martyn refused to speak to me, and was mad about me making a decision without him, but I could not let this woman get Tilly destroyed. 4 days later Tilly arrived at our home, she was literly dumped my arms, with just one bowl, brush, collar and medical history. I adored her from the beginning, but Martyn, it took time, now she know the word 'daddy' and meets him at the door each night.
Bio: We have renamed our little cat Tilly, and after 3 months she answers to her new name. She has really settled in with our family and gets on with our house bunny Anna. She is not as loving as our other cats Pebbles and Rhea, but she will come to us for attention when required. Tilly could never replace what we have lost but do I regret getting her ....................... NEVER, the hurt is still there from losing Rhea, but Tilly makes it all bearable, she is mummy's little girl and we love her loads, we are her 4th home, but this time Tilly it is for keeps, you will be a member of our family forever, and thank you Tilly for loving us back.
We have had Tilly 5 months now, and she has bought much joy into our lives. We do not have children and Tilly is my baby girl. She has got such a different personality from when we first got her. She is very much more vocal and tries to have a full conversation with you. She is much more loving even though sometimes she can be moody and swat you with her paw ( I have had a few injuries from her nails). She now puts up with me picking her up and giving her cuddles which was unheard of in the early day. I can not believe that we are her 4th home as she is a pleasent, loving little cat who we love dearly. We have started to let her out, not a easy decision, but she was always an outside cat before us. She does not roam very far and comes back often to give me piece of mind. I tell her everyday how much she is loved and she has started replying back (maybe telling me the same). Tilly is very much a pampered, loved little cat but hey she deserves it :o)

I am 4 today, and this is the first birthday at my Pawrents. I have been spoilt, mummy and daddy got me some of my favourite treats and a Da Bird wand and 5 attachments all the way from America. Not to sure of it yet as mummy is waving it round like a flag and keeps hitting me in the face with it, she has even poke my daddy in the eye when he got too close. It takes time to train her with new things :o)
Been outside today has it is sunny and not too cold. Been chased by two dogs from the gardens behind. The bigger dog Casey actually got into my garden and tried to chase me into the house. Luck though mummy only left the patio door open just enough for me to squeeze through. I was okay when i got in the house, but mummy shouted for daddy as Anna was too loose in the house and she did not know where. She then had to help the neighbour get his dog back over the wall, he said he was sorry and that it would not happen again. I was not really that bothered but got a big hug and more treats :o)
I have been quite scared tonight, having just recovered from the masses of children that was trick a treating on Saturday night, to find out it is now firework night.
Mummy and Daddy have been fantastic, entertaining me all night and having the television on louder so that I can not hear the bangs as much. Mummy left music on all day for me today just in case she did not get back in time before people started have fireworks.
I have not been completely scaredy cat, i have watched some fireworks but only when I am safely in mummy's arms while she is watching them too.
Anna has been brought in as well, and keeps running round the house trying to eat everything. Her hutch is now in the kitchen and i only have peace from her on a night and when my parents are at work, as she is under lock and key in her rabbit hutch so that she can not damage anything. It is nice to have my friend in, but she has a bad habit of running at me and jumping on my head, and I get done if i get her back as I am bigger.
Getting excited too, it is nearly my 4th birthday and happy 1st forever home in the next two weeks, mummy can not believe that they have nearly had me for a whole year (where has it gone). Mummy has got me a da bird toy coming from America for my birthday and I can not wait. Daddy had a flip when he found out how much it had cost but mummy soon reminded him how much his car has cost this month and nothing else was mentioned :o)
Happy bonfire and firework night - everyone please keep your pets inside love Tilly xx
