Take a look at this gorgeous cat, she was thrown out of a car when she was 5 weeks old. She was then taken on by a local riding school and were much loved by everyone. She now lives on a farm after the riding school closed down.

You may have seen a ‘bionic’ cat in the news this week.
The cat had its back feet badly damaged by a combine harvester and has now been given two prosthetic limbs in a pioneering operation.

Those of you who have signed up to receive our monthly e-mail ‘Mewsletter’ will already know that Caroline, one of our receptionist’s cats, Dubby is on a strict diet.
Having topped the scales at just over 9 kilos some months ago it was time to take drastic action!
Dubby joined Nurse York’s slimming regime and now Caroline feeds Dubby measured diet food sachets so there can be no ‘extras’ and she is happy to say that he is losing weight, slowly, but steadily. He is pictured sporting his sunglasses but is not ready to wear the bikini yet!
You can follow Dubby’s progress by signing up to the Mewsletter . If you feel your cat may be overweight, you can bring him along to a free nurse weight clinic here at SimplyCats – call 0191 3859696 to make an appointment.

After a fantastic holiday in Florida I am officially back to work and back to reality.
I loved spending time at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Seaworld and Busch Gardens mainly because of the animals but also because of the big rollercoasters (I’m a huge adrenaline junkie). The animals in the parks are kept in fantastic condition and I enjoyed chatting to the keepers at these parks and discussing all things animal related, mainly cat related (I just can’t seem to turn off work mode sometimes).
Here are just a few of my holiday snaps I thought I would share with you.
If any of you are considering a trip to Florida, I strongly urge you to go. It is a fantastic, magical place and I loved every minute of our holiday. Infact we enjoyed it so much we’re already planning a holiday back there next year.

You can sleep as soundly as Naz knowing your cat is microchipped should he/she go missing
