Milo [4]

Dave says: When I promised my fiancee a cat for her birthday, I didn't know we'd end up with a pair of them, or that I would be the one who went all gooey and lovestruck upon first meeting them! At any rate, they came home with us from the Fife Cat Shelter when they were about six weeks old, and they've now lived happily with us for just over a year. Neither my wife nor I had owned cats before, but watching these two grow up has been a total pleasure, and I doubt we could cope without them.

Milo, the boy (named after the hero in Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth), is now a very confident explorer of the big wide world. He's very affectionate and can always be relied upon to either get helpfully in the way of whatever we're doing or provide hours of entertainment by simply purring at us. He loves his mouse toy that my wife made. But his favorite thing is the front door.
