Junior’s Diary – March
Well – here we are again and it’s nearly Easter. I feel well and truly abandoned. I knew something was up in January when my mum started to sort out her clothes. She always hides her bags from me because she knows I get upset if she’s going away and then all the house cats […]

Junior’s New Year Diary
Well, you wouldn’t believe what a busy month we’ve had here at Syros Cats. Christmas is always a bit chaotic, with lots of people. My mum always collects greenery and makes decorations for the house.

Junior’s Diary – November
My mum has gone away – again! She did tell me this time and said she wouldn’t be long, but it does seem like a long time, even though I’m keeping her bed warm and keeping an eye on things. I’m grateful to get replacement cuddles from others here. Well it’s cold and wet now. […]
Junior’s diary – September
I can’t believe how busy it is round here. I have to keep my wits about me to make sure I monitor everything that’s going on. Mum’s builder is back and staying with us, so he’s been renovating some of our sheds to make sure they don’t leak. We haven’t had any rain yet, but […]
