Nine–year–old Daisy who was adopted from Cats Protection #Aberystwyth, seems to have an ear for music! Rather than coming to her name, she responds to owner Tony’s singing! Is your #cat a fan of your tunes, or does it send them running? 🎵 😺

Today I fell in love with Wazzy who is one of the 'escape artist' cats at Harrow. Had a cuddle after this pic. He's 18 months old and has had 3 homes in that time. He needs a home without children and is a lovely boy. Hope someone can give him his fur-ever home.
