My two wonderful kittens
Salsa is a Brown/Black/white tabby with lots of spunk. She’s definitely a diva, but loves her belly rubbed. She has longer hair but not sure if she’ll be a long haired cat.
Meatball is a white/grey short hair tabby.
They both also like other cats.

I have a lot of lily pads to find new homes for. Draining and taking down our pond this month and I feel bad letting them die. I can cut small bundles if needed. I also have a lot of Snails and Tadpoles.

“It could take years to restore Brexit losses”
