This time of year, countless young Felines are looking for new accommodation.

Many of those Household arrangements, made in the pre-Xmas rush, can turn out to be disastrous – puurrsuing new alternatives are the only option. Its always therefore, prudent to 'vet' potential Household members carefully, before making a commitent. Try following these simple rules for puurrfect Staff selection -

1. A fastidious home is a purrfect home. Look for clean, airy spaces with ample access to sunshine and shady climbing trees.

2. Are the Household inhabitants 'happy campers'? Denied the pleasure of Feline companionship, this can be difficult to ascertain; however, dismiss all applicants who refer to the terms 'alley cat','mouser' or 'stray'.

3. Be aware of 'lifestyle compatibility' – how will the following scenarios meet your needs?

 

'Student accommodation' - features high Staff turn-over, varying dubious degrees of household skills, and a high susceptibility to making loud noises. They do; however, exhibit nocturnal tendencies.

 

'Young + restless' - Households with small offspring are more active during the daytime hours. Can also be 'playful' with the 'pets' – check for succulent bird/rodents in captivity. Small canines may also be prevalent.

 

 

'Grey panthers'(aged with attitude) – Mature time generous Staff prone to 'visits' from small offspring (see above).

 

 

Also consider,

Sinkies (single income, no kitty)

Dinkies (double income, no kitty)

However, trialling new accommodation options can be tricky. Chartreux Charles would like to know,

'Aunty Holly, I am agonising over the sudden decline of my living standards, which has occurred over the Xmas period. Young Dachshund Donald has taken over My Householder's attention. As there was precious little enough of this commodity prior to his arrival, their now total lack of commitment to my needs is intolerable. How should I display my Hisspleasure?'

Oh Dear Charles, since young Donald has yet to learn his place – why not find him another one? Encourage dopey Donald to chase you far away from his current abode – towards a Canine compatible neighbourhood. Soon he will be happily playing with his new neighbours, and your current dilemmas will be far fetched!

Purrfectly yours

Aunty Holly
