CFZ PEOPLE: Lindsay Selby

The other day we noted with sadness that Lindsay Selby had lost her elderly pussycat `Baggins` at a ripe old age.

Although we didn't say so we sent up private messages to the rich pantheon of deities and saints that we collectively believe in (Pan and St Francis being only two), that she would not be in a cat-free state for very long. An email this morning shows that our prayers were answered:

Hi Jon

Well I went to the animal rescue centre on Saturday and came back with one adult cat and one kitten. I only went to look :-)
The kitten is the runt of the litter and climbed out of the cage to get to me. So I was chosen. She is 9 weeks old and have named her Clarice. I have attached a photo. She is just a joy and completely mad! Her colouring is a sort of Tabby/tortie mix.
The other guy is still hiding under the bed. He is a beautiful white and black cat about a year old but very timid. I said I would try and see if he would settle.
He has been out for food and to use the tray but so far has only got close enough to give me a sniff and then ran away. I am just letting him take his time and hope he will take to me. He is even scared of the the kitten! Have called him Eustace.

I feel like the house is alive again. I maybe should have waited longer to get over Baggins cat but the house was so silent and empty. Now it is full of kitten!
I am not sure what my landlord will say but they are cat lovers too so doubt there will be a problem.They knew I would get another cat but I didn't say I would get two.

I hope all is well at CFZ and you are feeling a bit better. Infections and antibiotics are both exhausting.

love to all
Lxx
