Which cat food do you use?  Do you mind me asking, why don t you use
ferret food?  At one of your shows, I remember you saying I d be better
of, not using James Well Beloved Ferret complete, and using the same sort
of cat mix as you instead.  I can t remember the reasons though.

Are you talking about your Pasco here, who sadly died from heart attack,
after over heating at the Bolton show?  I too have a small jill, who
produced large hobs.  When I see them playing together, it amazes me,
they came from her.

That kind of you to offer your help to the midlands.  I know to get here
it would take you many hours.  I m surprised you have to travel so far,
to find people to help.  There a few good rescues societys in the
midlands, which I m sure would be willing to help you out.
