Originally we thought her a boy, but a vet check has proved otherwise, so "Lady" has been appended to the original name. blogs Sun, 09 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.stonesoup.co.nz/catablog/archives/2009_08.html#008315 CataBlog 2009-08-09T00:00:00Z http://www.stonesoup.co.nz/catablog/archives/2009_08.html#008313 ... and the couches, the walls, the cages and the chairs.

Becky3.jpg Our volunteers hated the name and felt that it focused on her physical issues rather than the lovely cat that she is. Normally we don't rename our cats, but so many people felt that her name just didn't do her justice that we've made an exception in this case. blogs Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.stonesoup.co.nz/catablog/archives/2009_07.html#008312 CataBlog 2009-07-31T00:00:00Z http://www.stonesoup.co.nz/catablog/archives/2009_07.html#008311 The Wellington CPL would like to introduce to you, the somewhat shy, but absolutely lovely, Henry! blogs Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.stonesoup.co.nz/catablog/archives/2009_07.html#008311 CataBlog 2009-07-28T00:00:00Z http://www.stonesoup.co.nz/catablog/archives/2009_07.html#008310 Yep - it's been a while, I know.
