Casper
Cat of the Month ~ March 2010
Casper, the 12-year-old black and white cat, who used to ride the bus with commuters regularly, has died.
His death was announced on a notice put up at Casper's bus stop by his owner. We are so sad to hear this news. His owner wrote "Many local people knew Casper, who loved everyone - he also enjoyed the bus journeys....he was a much loved pet who had so much character. Thank you to all those who befriended him."
I'd like to add a heartfelt goodbye to this amazing animal, who'll live on in our hearts

The Norwegian Forest Cat
Cat of the Month ~ February 2010
Norwegian Forest Cats (Skogkatt) are well known for their bright emerald green eyes, long fluffy coats and adoring nature....but where the cats originate from and how they developed their long wild coats is still a mystery? However there are many myths and folk tales that explore the development of this unique cat breed. The most likely story is that Forest Cats descended from domestic cats and arrived in Norway from Europe with the Romans. Further back in time it is also thought they traveled with the Vikings to help rid the longboats of rodents.
It's likely their long coats developed over the centuries to withstand the cold nights and harsh weather conditions in Norway where they evolved into cats with great survival instincts with water-resistant fur.
