My Cat’s Tale – Ophur and Rosie

Ophur and Rosie are two gorgeous rag-doll cats from New Zealand. Like any classic double act, Rosie is the one who runs around and wants to do everything all at once, while Ophur is a little bit more sedate and measured in his approach to life as the top cat of the household.

Carla tells us the story of these two cats who were instantly close to each other, even if Ophur will not share his box. We also talk about the huge positive influence that Ophur and Rose have made to Carla’s life, and how she can share the love they give to her with the rest of the world.

My Cat’s Tale – Teddy, Sushi, and the Cat Sitter

Teddy and Sushi live with Genevieve, who made sure that she and her husband spent the first two weeks with them at home (and introducing me to the term of pet-ertnity leave). The two cats decided themselves which cat would pair up with which human, but Teddy and Sushi are not the only cats in Genevieve’s life. When Genevieve steps out of the front door, she becomes… the cat sitter.

Genevieve talks to Ewan about Teddy and Sushi, and also her life as a cat sitter, how to befriend a new cat, and the magical toy that every cat falls in love with.

My Cat’s Tale – Copurrnicus and Grabbity

Copernicus was likely not just a stray but a feral kitten when Suw and Kevin adopted him. That caused conflict between himself and Suw’s two older cats, the late Mewton, and Grabbity. The slow introductions, sharing scents and playing with them together that many recommend did not work; and the delicate peace never lasted long.

Suw and Kevin persevered, and now Copernicus and Grabbity are best of friends. Suw talks to Ewan about adopting Copernicus, dealing with his challenging behaviour over many years, and how he found peace within the house and with Grabbity.

For once, Malcolm is getting back the love, care, and devotion he has shown to everyone around him. Ewan talks with Caroline as she thanks the community for their support, remembers when Malcolm first met Baby Dog, and why he has such an ‘old man’s’ name.
