Not a very busy weekend though managed to find a good home for one longterm cat Zara, only one kitten rehomed but 12 more arrived. Pictured is one of the litters which came in this weekend.They are so pretty that Im hopeful they will find homes quite quickly.Roy(from our caernarfon shop)_has been working hard to get our new reception ready for occupation, he has been busy insulating it , ready for the wall covering to go on.When it is finished there will finally be somewhere to take people to do all the form filling in etc. It has been such a problem without one, we have had to use the small cattery and there is hardly space to swing a cat(pardon the rather inappropriate pun!)
There are already fireworks going off around here and the loud bangs are distressing some of the animals. Mei has brought all the horses in tonight, we dont want them in the fields with so many people starting early, this bonfire night madness is out of control.When I first moved here I was never aware of any fireworks but last year and this one has been almost as bad as the city.I dont know what other people think but I believe it should be banned. Why are we celebrating the burning of an effigy of a human being in todays oh so politically correct climate? The fireworks themselves cause distress annually to many pets, horrific accidents happen to children and yet it not only continues but the one night of celebration has now been extended to several weeks of this nightmare!!!! William the lurcher has spent the past few nights in terror, shaking uncontrollably at every bang and I know Mei has the same problem with one of her Chihuahuas Ella. If it cant be stopped then it should be restricted to organised displays in public places. I am going to now raise the volume on my TV so the noise outside will be less noticeable. Thats it folks, rant of the day over!

I agree with you Lesley about the fireworks. This ridiculous celebration should be stopped. Most normal sane people find these huge bangs unacceptable and want them banned .
