The Family

Is no more. Tinga was the last to die, in 2005, aged 18 1/2.

Tinga

Tinga was the little female.

She was a tortoiseshell and had a lovely split marking on her face, as you can see.

Tucker

Tinga's brother was Tucker.

He was a tabby, and was the brainless one. Here he is, hiding from people, as usual. He died in 2003, aged 16.

HollyHolly

We looked after Holly for a few months, but unfortunately she had heart problems and we had to have her put down. Her owners were Kathryn and Alan, who are currently ex-pats in Toronto. As you can see, she had no ears - she got skin cancer in them from the sun and was also pretty short of teeth - but she could dole out a pretty respectable gumming!

 

Tog

Tog died  in April 1998, aged 16 years.

As you can see, he was a black cat, here relaxing in the sun in the breakfast room. He'd been blind for a while and was becoming rather poorly when he eventually died. He was a lovely cat.

Names

If you're wondering where our cats names come from, they're all children's TV characters - Tog from Pogle's Wood, and Tinga and Tucker from the programme of the same name, about 2 koala bears.
