A Message from Jess:

Although I love nothing more than having a smooch and cuddle with your 'purry' kings and queens, I also understand that some cats have what I like to call "Cattitude (cat-attitude)" and don't like to be touched -- You should meet my Trixie!.

I would never force a smooch or cuddle with any cat! It is my ultimate aim to provide these cats with a chilled, comforting and relaxing environment. As long as I can see they are happy going about their day, I will just have a little natter with them... who knows - They might even give me a little 'purrrr' if I'm lucky!
