My gardening companions, although I would question the amount they actually contribute to the garden, especially when they take to digging in places where I really don’t need the extra help! But even if they are fast asleep in the house I can usually guarantee that within five minutes of my being in the garden my girl cat, the chocolate colour point, will always join me. Her brother might take a little longer, but this time of year especially, when the catmint (Nepeta) is growing well, and the sun is shining (well I can dream!) will bring him out to patrol his domain, roll in the catmint and generally lord it as King Cat in the neighbourhood.

I miss not having garden helpers, I’ve had many cats over the years and they all helped me in the garden – in their own furry purry way 🙂
Lovely, and typical cats, but I’m sure that they’d be missed if they weren’t around. xx
