About my Valentine Kitty

Ashton loves her mummy, she is very cute but very demanding. She will call out for me whenever I am at home. She demands that I come and brush her. She loves brushing time, she screams for me to open the drawer and please brush her, it's the cutest thing that all my friends think is weird.

Gabriel, shame he suffers from Cystitis for over a year so every night he demands a gravy meal and his tablet. He cannot meaow (well for the past 7 years anyways) but recently he wakes up at 3am runs around and then jumps on your like brute force. He tries to talk and its getting more progressive with is the sweetest.

What Decor or Graphics Program Did You Use/

Just pose cats with gifts and valentines toys, every year I buy gifts for the cats as its spreads the love around.

They get gifts now and then but they are at the age where they are more interested in sleeping near the radiators!

Tips and Tricks

  • Long-haired cats need to be brushed once a day with a shearing comb (once a week) that gives them a shiny coat.
  • Clip the nail every 3 months it really does keep their scratching the sofa's to a minimum.
  • Use a Body Shop wooden nail brush for cat hair; use circles and the hair will amazingly be removed.
  • Use good pellets (Royal Cainine) I have used this since day one (a little more expensive) but Ashton has never been ill in 7 years except for annual checkups.
  • Cats must sleep on the floor next to you (healthier if you suffer from allergies) I have bought 2 fleeced white with a blanket to share, they luv it.
