My furry friends | Marmite and Bruiser

Today I asked on twitter if people would like to see a post about my cats, full of adorable photos. I received a lot of yes's!

So here you go, a post all about my furry friends, enjoy!

I (we) have two cats. We got Marmite first and she was adorable when she was a kitten. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of her when she was a kitten but she was cute. Then a few years later Marmite had 4 kittens. We sold 3 of them and kept one: Bruiser! Unfortunately only 2 of the 4 cats are still alive :(

This post is mainly going to be pictures but if there is a story behind some of the pictures I'll tell you all about their adventures! I have more pictures of Bruiser but have got some off family members of Marmite.

Marmite

(Bottom left picture) Marmite hated that Santa hat, she did look very sweet in it though!

Marmite isn't very photogenic, which is probably why I don't have many photos of her. She is extremely affectionate especially towards my Mum. Her favourite places to sleep is my brothers pillow and my bed. She loves playing with string and constantly tells Bruiser off.

Bruiser

(top right picture) Bruiser saw a birds nest in the tree and decided to go up and investigate, fortunately for the birds he couldn't get up to it.

I love his chocolatey almost ginger mane.

This was when we gave him a bath today! He actually didn't mind it, he quite likes water.

Bruiser caught a frog about a year and a half ago. Don't worry he didn't eat it. He only liked the frog because every time he tapped the frog it made a squeaking noise, he loved it! The frog got away safely eventually, probably traumatised though! 

Bruiser is extremely affectionate and soppy! He loves fuss and you know he wants a belly rub as he'll sit into of you, miaow and then flop onto his side. He's still a kitten at heart and loves playing with hair bands. We ping them across the room and he loves chasing them, we're trying to teach him to bring the hair band back!

I love my cats and they make me so happy. 2 years ago Bruiser was hit by a car the day we came back from our holiday. We took him to the vets and we were faced with either putting him to sleep or paying out nearly £1,000 for him to have an operation on his hip. It was a horrible time, I was devastated but naturally we put ourselves in debt and he had the operation. He stayed in a cage in the living room for about 8 weeks and slowly he started to recover. Nowadays he is fine and bounces around like nothing happened! His legs are a little uneven but it doesn't bother me.

Pets are like family and the thought of losing them is horrible. They aren't just an animal they are a best friend.
