Saskia
Saskia's owners send us so much information about Saskia, we had to create a new page!! This is what's been happening to her since November 2006... or you can read about her earlier escapades.
| 9 June 2007: Hello Junction Road, from sunny Buckinghamshire! Finally: we moved house. Two weeks of packing, three MAD days of shifting stuff, four days of unpacking ... aaaand ... relax.  Saskia has been great. Immensely curious about the packing! She didn't like the general brouhaha on the actual moving day, and coped with it by hiding behind a clothes rail.
Given the choice, I'd've been with her.She sat up in the front of the van all the way to the new house - for an hour! A bit bored by the M25 and very interested in trees and fields near our house. She wanted to check out the new place immediately. Didn't want to be in her safe room - wanted to SEE where we were, so we let her get on with it. Four weeks on and she's got her routine sorted: Kitchen floor for early morning sun.  Guest room floor for mid-morning sun. Sofa or bed for daytime sleeping and afternoon sun. Sitting on trunks looking out the hall window waiting for us to come back from cycling or shopping - and evening sun. Cat hammock on the guest room radiator for when we are busy, or putting shelves up. Sheepskin under our bedroom radiator when it's cold. Foot of the bed for night time. We also bought her a rabbit skin (adores it), new litter box (loves it), a crinkly cat tunnel (sits in it looking helpful and sniffing the dangly fish), and a water fountain (apparently, spawn of the devil). So, a bit of ribbon on a stick really IS the best cat toy in the world. She's also started on homeopathic remedies for the persistent rodent ulcers. She's on this regime for two months - fingers crossed for a great result! |

May 2007: More Saskia... when you're this fluffy you have to
make sure you're very clean. |

March 2007: Just a little supplement to my earlier message about Sassy's anniversary.
I was chatting to Lorna about our wedding and I don't think she'd seen this picture of Saskia on the day itself. |
5 March 2007: Hello all!  Hope you enjoyed the cake on Sunday - it was lovely to come in and talk about Sassy and how happy we all are since she came to live with Will and I. The Saskia Success Story page hasn't been updated in a while, so we have assumed that there isn't any more space for her adventures! [Editor's note: there will always be room for Saskia! Our email was on the fritz for a while, that's all.) Nevertheless, here are a few pictures of her anniversary - with our thanks for a lovely first year. We are looking to move house this year, out of London. Although we may not be able to come back to see you again, we'll always keep you posted as to her well-being. There's also a link to a rather funny video clip of Saskia with an empty catnip box.... if you have sound, turn that up as well!!!! |

2007:
She's also getting used to being picked up, which we think is rather good as she's only been with us for nine months. She used to wail when picked up - now she PURRS!!! Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah! She's also learnt how to read..... disturbing..... |
20 November
2006: It's been an odd month. 
Just when we think we've got Saskia sussed out, she goes and does something extraordinary. For example: taste in books.

Sassy spent Christmas wandering round and round the underneath the Christmas tree, fascinated by all the needles she knocked off with her tail as she went round. The wrapping paper on Christmas Day also seemed to be very interesting indeed. Santa brought her a cat's radiator hammock as a present which she has been hanging out in quite a lot. (Ho ho ho.... oh dear.)
