We have a rescue Tortie cat called Daphne from a Cat's rescue place, named after the lady whose door she came to in a storm. She is the most wonderful, loving, fascinating cat I have ever known with the deepest and softest fur strokeable. We have three other cats who are all loved equally but she is so vocal with chirrups, prrrrupts and whooo-whooo noises so that you can almost have a conversation with her (yes - I do have an imaginary one but it works). Whatever you say, she will respond appropriately. When she first appears in the morning, she makes her greeting noise and gets stroked accordingly; she is, at the moment, calmly lying on the carpet by my side waiting for me to feed the geese. When I go to get my wellies on, she is there by the door and will bound with great enthusiasm (as she does everything with a passion) out towards the hen/goose pen - then she'll disappear only to come back when I go back in. She, as all the others, have full run of the house and will often go to sleep and snore in her basket in my bedroom at night. She is so my friend. Just wanted to share the delight of having her with you all.
