Long story short, Hector, a female Norwegian forest cat, has now been living with us for some years.
Being French, and inspired by the films of Jacques Tati, it was quite odd; Kiki the frog, for example, is a meteorologist.
We’ve recently acquired our own Kiki, a tabby kitten, currently thought to be male.Hector, now entirely blind, is unbothered; ZsaZsa, never the most clubbable and currently made more irascible by a torn cruciate ligament, is in a state somewhere between outraged betrayal and unfettered aggression.
Each morning I must wrap blood pressure pills in ham for Hector, persuade ZsaZsa to drink a foul-tasting concoction to ease her juvenile arthritis and prevent the entirely healthy kitten from partaking of either.
